GBD--

I did NOT need to hear that!! ..Now I'm really gonna die-- And I'm not surprised, given Ronin's chili-madness and grow skills! Ronin, don't make me beg...
indeedy, it has been too long, GBD, thank you for the kind sentiments, and I feel the same!.. Rumor has it you've been up to all kinds of naughty bizz- ... I can only wish I had more AFN time brudda,.. being staff has it's price, and I just can't keep up with folks like I used too, especially with Infirmary duties. I love it, but it eats time like crazy, and there's no ignoring it considering,... At some point, I want to try the amendment Mix you offer, soon as I can get auto growing again... I'll be picking your brain on that fairly soon I hope!
... Roger that on the Destroyer vs. Desfran guys... My concern is the bloom time; can you guys tell me if one is faster than the other? Looks like DP has IBL'ed her some-? The 8-12 week window on Destroyer is too iffy for me... I did have to abandon one of the AG's because she didn't come close to finishing, and showed horrid mold resistance too compared to the others .. I have to say though, they held out better than the others did, despite coming in weeks later,... BTW, the Kali-Tooth did pretty well, the latest finishing of the Mephisto photo's I beggared from Mitch a while back!

:smoking: Ronin, I want you to get started on mole'-- so you can send me some, dammit! I'll pay! ....... Oh man, that tri-cross with Wild Thai-- I love how you two think! How has the bloom time been looking? Where I'm at, central coastal CA, if they start bloom by late Aug./early Sept. 9-10 weeks is the longest I can hope for before weather turns too cold and prohibitively wet ... so you see my Sativa dilemma! I'll all ears for any Sati'-dom. recommendations,.. been eyeing the Critical Neville Haze or Critical SSH by Delicious seeds as well...
... hot stuff Ronin, she's a beauty! --very very nice buds too, surprisingly dense, crazy frosty,... -- got some dry porn? ... as usual your rosins look stellar!

I smoked weed before the OG Kush revolution

.... Amen and true dat! I dig OG, but I'm so sick of the "abuse" of it's innumerable spin-off's flooding the shelves and stock of every damn dispensary and delivery service, and the resulting lack of true diversity in offerings,.. ditto for Girl Scout Cookies! -- OG this, GSC cross that-- it's just gotten stooopid out here in CA,.. GSC is nice, but it's not THAT nice ... tried many times, and I fail to see why it's so damn popular!
My grow place these days for photo's is at a client's place, so fem's are pretty much madatory for me, just no space/time/resources for reg's, which really burns me! there's so many fine-ass strains that come only as reg's or the rare clone,... Have you guys any experience with one called Blowfish? -or Ken's Honeydew? --this one has genuine nostalgia for me, if the name comes from what I think it does,... Honeydew is a flyspeck town deep in the Humboldt hills, where my homie's Dad had property,...and a drying shed we'd raid now and again! 5gal mayonnaise jar-fulls baby! ... Satori is another I really want, and used to be around regularly, before the pop-culture shit took over!

The Zapotec reminded me of Ripley's OG in flavor, but with more spice and a completely different high. It was a super social, upbeat smoke for me, where as Ripley's kicks my ass and puts me down. Really excellent smoke, grown expertly by the good sir Ronin.

RE Destroyer flower time: I can't say as I have not run it yet.
RE Mole´: I rock the Dona Maria jars It's all in the prep of the meat for the dish. That and a good selection of heat

RE Tri-cross flower time: On the f1's they finished under 70 days.

RE Satori: I'll let @Magic comment on that...

RE Cookie popularity: It's one of the most photographed strains out now.
I think that lends to it's popularity regardless of high or flavor.
As well, it's a dream for concentrators.

RE Blowfish: I think Dutch Flowers created it and Hazeman worked with it.
It is available in seed form from Riot Seeds.

Re Ken's Honeydew: I think that may be a Ken Estes (Granddaddy Purp) cut of Whish Seeds Honeydew.
I know GDP has a honeydew in their library.
All guesses on my part

The Zapotec reminded me of Ripley's OG in flavor, but with more spice and a completely different high. It was a super social, upbeat smoke for me, where as Ripley's kicks my ass and puts me down. Really excellent smoke, grown expertly by the good sir Ronin.

Thank you Sir
I think the smell of the Zapotec (at least the versions I have run...) are Colombian dom in flavor.
The reason I say this is the Black Colombians have a very similar smell.


Welcome to a Saturday afternoon update.
The Zipolite kids are doing well.
Here they are on day 8-9.

I'll hit them with some Recharge in the next few days.


Thanks for stopping by

Welcome to a Sativa Saturday morning update
The Zipolite kids are doing great
They got their first dose of Recharge and seemed to have enjoyed it.

Let's get to the pics..
Day 14ish

They have moved out from under the Closet Case LED and are now under a larger light/tent so as to stretch their wings.



Thanks for stopping by!

--little hotties are coming along very nicely Ronin, pictures of health and vigor! ...Interestingly thick fingers on these, is this a common thing for Sativa's from this general region?
... that Wild Thai tri-cross is plenty speedy for bloom,... any chance it's been, or will be fem'ed? I'm still grinding over what Sati-dom's to try this season -- another fast one I found is DNA's Cannalope Haze... Destroyer/Desfran are looking to risky for finishing, alas!
I've been eyeing that Blowfish for 3 years, 2 for the Honeydew! ...mmm, G-13, another lost soul in the new wave of genetics; used to be I could find that someplace, anytime... now, I've not seen it (or even quality crosses) anywhere in quite a while, and I check local menu's frequently,...
I did get Magics PM about his new thread, and he mentioned he has some Satori going now- ...I wish he were closer, so I could beggar a clone from him!

Thanks @Waira
RE Tri-cross: They're regs right now but Fems are always an option once they're ready
The other Oaxacan I've run had the fatter leaves to start, but once flipped, she started with the thin leafage.
I'm assuming this one will follow suit.
As far as your Sativa dilemma.. Check out Mandala#1 from Mandala Seeds.
Besides having an insane genetic make up...
It says it'll finish by mid September outdoors and is highly resistant to mold.
I'm running a few indoors right now so I'll be able to give you a fair assessment soon.

Re Satori: Yeah they're looking real good
I'm 99% sure @Magic will be doing a repro on them so "cuts" may not be necessary

I'll be topping one or more of the kids today.
Pics to follow once lights come on

Good day all

Cool, I'm keen to have a closer look at both Mandala#1 and Satori.
Where's the grow journal?

Unfortunately I don't have a grow journal going for those @Maria Sanchez


Welcome to a Wednesday afternoon update
The Zipolites have sexed out and I've been blessed with 3 daughters.
As well, they were all topped just after showing themselves.
Today they are at day 32.
Let's get to the pics...

Zipolite [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG]:

Topped shot:

These ladies will be placed into training to get all the lowers even with the top nodes to create a more even canopy.
They'll be topped on each of the branches as well to spread them out a bit too.
I'll post pics once that happens.



Thanks for stopping by!

 

[Ronin]

Welcome to a Tuesday afternoon update
The ladies are now 38 days old.
I topped the upper branches a few days ago.
The lowers should start their slow progression upwards.

Let's get to the pics....

Close up of topped branch.

Canopy starting to level off


Zipolite [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]:

close up of branch topping:

lowers still reaching upwards.

Zipolite [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG]:

close up of topped branch:

I'll be bending the upper branches to slow their progress until the lowers have all matched up with the uppers.
Training in full effect
