The Superspice cut that is in the sidebyside. So far it is the only SuperSpice cut down below, but that's gonna change. She is ~22days, and is the oldest SS in flower. There are 5 or 6 in behind her, so wish me luck.... <--hehe, salesman much???

Fukkin Phillies tied it up. Victorino. He wears a lil league helmet. I could be a HR hitta in Citizens Bank Park... :rolleyes:
 
Well, I cracked the seed in 2007. I am 95% sure what this Dreamtime is.

I am thinking that it is Mango Widow. I read the Dreamtime thread that I started in the spring, and read about the lemons, etc... I have seen another member here (JessE, alaska maybe??) mention the lemon smell with MH. I noticed a Mango Kush smell at the end of flowering, and a haze hybrid x indy dom hybrid would explain the size and bud structure. Right now ~22 days, she is taking me right back to the seedplant (same MANGO KUSH) smell. I am interested to see how she finishes, as I didn't really like the high from the seedplant, but I think that I let it go way too long. I am thinking 8/9/10 wks on this plant. I hope the 1 outside finishes, she is HUGE and happy!

And here are the Super Spice cut (20-22" still going), Iffy cut (18-20" just building bud), and MW (~16-18" branchier, looks almost done stretching).
iffyMWSspice7-27.JPG


I will get better pix of everybody when they start to get going. The Spice x SSH are 8 full wks of flower power, and they are CRANKING. Cranking in every sense of the word. Size..? CHECK. Stink..?? CHIGGITY-CHECK. Resin..??? More than the yellow stickies......

I have a few of the quicker cuts rooting, and I have a few to go out, I am liking this cross. AND I have 100 more 'free' seeds to run through...
 
I like this pic of my og kush x g13/hz male.
thedude3.JPG


The cuts died, so his crosses will be 1-offs. Shit (2 phenos), Spice (2 phenos), SSH (iffy and 2 seedplants), SuperSpice (sexy runt pheno), and the MW.

The only seeds that will mean anything will be the ogkg13h x ssh's; and if I get an EQ male....I may grow out a few ...x Spice just to see the difference. Maybe a seed by seed shootout for the spring/summer?? (spice x ogk/g13h Vs. spice x ssh)
 
Yo nut, thanks for stoppin in. Yeah, you have to be on top of your shit to keep up with 4+ in/out per wk. I have slid a bunch in there, but I had a lil clone hiccup, and had to substitute some things.....

Big Orange Diesel momma went into ~3/4 gallons of coco :eek:
Iffy mom went in, giving 4 cuts @ 1 wk, any rooted cuts will go in as lolly's
So-called "Sweet Shit" mom went in, cuts in 1 wk. (The 'funky' shit is 90% sweet from clone. After day 40 or so, she goes a LIL funky, but stays very sweet. I am thinking that both cuts will be similar.)
Big Spice mom going in once I see 2 healthy cuts (got a bunch going at various stages.)

I also have these:
Kalichakra

Martian Mean Green in the red cups, EQ in the black squares, Pakalolo in the starter trays, 2 unidentified SuperSpice cuts (they STINK, I'm guseeing the indy leaners) the 1 on the right may go in this week, only to go out in 2-3 weeks.

I am looking at August 1 to flip the EQ's, and the 4 healthiest MMG's. The KaliC's and MMG a wk later. I am getting a very positive vibe from the EQ's, and I dunno why....:rolleyes:

EDIT - The Phillies are up 11 to 5 in the 7th........That stadium is a JOKE.

I love typing long posts, then getting booted by my proxy...notepad, people, notepad.

I've been away, thanking the Lord for the rain. We have gotten it like clockwork 1/2" - 1 1/2" every 4-5 days for a while now. Makes my outdoor fert regime real easy: sprinkle some biotone and rock phosphate and I'm done....

Not a Yankee fan, but how about Girardi backing up first base in the old-timer game!!

Some Iffy

Lovin this pic. Super Spice A (most sativa leaner) 60 days. 2-3 more wks....
SSpiceA60cola.JPG


EQ 1+2
eq18-2.JPG

eq28-2.JPG


They are identical except for the purpling going on on the new growth of #1.

I also landed a c99 x (reeferman, pole pheno)Hashplant male. He will dust up any MMG or EQ females, and maybe the Orange D and a SuperSpice ('runt' clone). I have the 2 EQ and 4 MMG under 12/12 since tues or so, but I count 'days' from first flower for seedplants.
 
SuperSpice (runt clone, sat) ~25 days

in coco:

in hempy:

These next 2 are going to be MONSTERS (hopefully)

SuperSpice clone of 1 of the plants in flower. Cuts of this plant will establish another SuperSpice mother if I like the way that they run through, or the smoke is FIRE (likely, lol). I will be calling her SuperSpice (indy) and the other SuperSpice (sat). She has been chilling on my deck for 5-7 weeks now, and will be going into a 4 gallon of cocomix in a day or so.
Day1.JPG


Orange Diesel Momma. 16 days, ~8 big shoots, shavin legs.... Running her out. We had our purple, fueley fun, but she is the only plant that I have right now that DEMANDS veg time. Combine that with a propensity for the clones to dampen off when the going gets tough (good cloner in good conditions...), and she gotta go. I have her crossed to the SSH and Miss Mud males from the spring, and I will hit her with the dude. She is in the cocogro bale 'bag'. ~3 gallons of straight coco with her 2l of soil that she came with...

Looking for 1 of the above plants to bump a QP if possible....with (hopefully) 6 between them.

Looking great barletta

Im sure they ll become monsters:D How long do you usually veg for ?
 
Yo L:)
I have about 1/2 my space (~75% of my plants) as 'lollypops'. Most of my strains are Sativa dom in growth, so they go in less than a week after they show 2 or 3 nice roots. The Shit sits for a week or 2 with a veg shot. Funny, my Shits seem to like N in veg, but in bloom, too much AO 5-10-5 claws em a lil....

The other plants are former/would-be moms. They have vegged anywhere from 4-5wks to a few months (orange D was ~3 months old, gave up and away ~50 clones, and I killed 10 or so..). I should have ALOT of iffy soon, as I threw in a 4-5wk old SSH with 2-10" mains. LOL, I even have some immature(2-3wks old) seedlings jammed in there....

What's the rule????

Just keep sliding them in.......

If you see that you don't have any to slide in, throw a mom in, and 6 seeds down.....;) :cool: :eek:
 
Hey Barletta!

I just been looking back through your thread here..... It just makes me GREEN with envy. You got so much going on. So many strains and cuts. I'm still hopeful that my g/f and I will eventually have the room to grow like that. We'll have to do a greenhouse though. Unfortunately, the climate here is too severe....unless we had a very protected area like a South facing patio we could fence off from the howling winds we can get anytime of year.

Regular rain makes life good doesn't it? I'm still toying with the idea of some kind of outdoor grow as long as I don't have a lot invested in it. As I said, climate sucks.

Anyway your stuff looks great. You have so much going on I can't keep track of it all!! But I'm so whacked from smoking some of my SSH LOL!! Gonna fix lunch.

SativaFan
:D

Ps

I'm putting the clones into flower today if I can figure out how. Not much room with my big plants. I just hope they aren't males:eek:

SF - You must be twisted, cause you mis-spelled my name, and being the anal fuck that you are, that would never slide:D :D I know it sounds brutal, but cut off ALL of the growth except fans and the top 2-3 shoots of your clones. They will turn into 'poles' and you can put them wherever you want. They will also get taller (than 'unpopped') which will let them compete for a while height-wise with the seedplants.

I was gonna leave a comment in your pics of making the mix, but I was too stoned me damn self...

You are the only person that I know is more anal than me. Hehehehehehe its cool:) You are one of the few 'online personas' that seem to care as much about his/her plants as I do on an individual plant-by-plant basis.

If that is wrong, I don wanna be right.......



P.S. August is here, no more toying....Except you CAN put your indoor plants outside to finish, and they will get a flavor and size boost....Just keep slidin em out.....If I could, I would drop almost all of my room outside right now. It is like a free 2-3 months on the year.....
 
I had typed up a witty lil post with some yummy pix, but I got booted again, and didn't copy-n-paste so....

Kalichakra in the black squares, and Pakalolo in the clear cups.
KaliNPaka.JPG


Bagseed from 2 batches that smoked like KB's.
Baggin.JPG


I have those MMG and EQ still sexing, Ima put em in gallons 2moro...
I gotta look at the schedule, but I may run the last 10 of an open pack of Shit that I have, looking for something a lil more sativa dom (gets taller/bigger). Maybe just 'toy' seeds for a lil while, till I can really run em. Dropped the only 3 seeds that I found on the more 'tropical' Pakalolo from the spring. The seeds COULD BE anything, but I am thinking that they are the ssh that I was throwing around. The seeds looked just like the pakalolo seeds and the seeds from the OTHER pakalolo x ssh. Ima run these right into 12/12, and throw the Kalichakra and pakalolos when they break dirt ~ a week.

I am thinking I wanna veg the bagseeds till Sept 1 or so. By then, the MMG, EQ, Kalichakra and maybe the Pakalolo will have sexed. I will be dropping seeds that are a mix of SSH (same father) and any of 3 SSH and 1 Spice female. I will be taking and running cuts of the pakalolo and pakalolo x ???. Flipping the cuts of the ssh's that I have down below this week, keep an eye out....
 
Well the pakalolo x ??? didn't happen, so I put down the last 3 SSH f1's that I have. I love this strain. I will be buying some SSH and Mango Haze (and maybe a new 'practical haze hybrid' line if that happens...:D )this winter just to have, lol. I will be makin seeds if I get a male, or a male pakalolo. I guess I will veg the pakalolo's for a lil while, and put them in with the SSH's ~Sept 1.

I did some re-organizing, and will be making some SERIOUS room 2moro morning. Pics forthcoming....
 
Possibly the prettiest plant that I've grown so far...

Well I made a lot of room, but not SERIOUS room, lol. Got a nice big Superspice (unknown, ~10 wks old) ready to rock. Fuckin bugs virtually wiped my clonage out. The cloner that I made would have worked if I had left the damn dome on it. I took it off after a week, that's when I had 1 damp off, then 2 more in a few days. Put the last 3 from that cloner into some soil yesterday (~10 days, no roots). The bucket of perlite/vermiculite seems to keep thm healthier, no wicks or domes or anything. I have changed the solution 3x's in ~10 days. I use 2-3ml/gal B-1 Red (same as the clone/utility spray). I hope they make it, I have 3 iffy clones, and ~10 Shit clones. I won't be able to run either for a while if these clones don't make it.
Having seeds in papertowels 1 and 2 months ago is saving my ass... That's why I have more in now.....

Super Spice A 65 days - I love the way that this plant looks. It took the resin coverage of the SSH, and the coloring and tiny little calyxes of the Spice. The smell is in between, and the growth structure is heavily sativa dom. I rolled a late male banana from a now extinct SSH (#2 if you are keeping score, 8/9wk heavy smelled like black pepper and lemon skunk, least 'hazy') onto a lower branch, but I haven't seen any seeds yet. I never had/made/grewplantsfrom female seeds before, so I will be cracking these once they are dry, and updates will come here.
She will comedown over the weekend sometime.

I have shit all over the place right now, and I will be able to organize better in a week or so when these tall spice x ssh come down.
 
looking tasty barletta;) shame about the clones:( some times they take ages some times a few days. i give clones 14 days if they dont grow roots by then i throw the fuckers out. I only grow good fast rooting healthy clones your guaranteed vigorous healthy plants - something that takes to long to root are not worth the space they take up and your better off starting new ones IMHO. I think that if they take to long to root then the roots will stay undeveloped and not yield very well. fast rooting clones fill pots fast and yield much better.

p.s
I notice you like to keep your soil dry. I like to keep mine wet all the time i find if the soil drys it shrinks and the roots are air cloned (killed off) in the ground there is no problem, but pots are bastards once they dry out to much they are hard to water proper because the water goes down the sides and it takes time to expand. I do let the pots run dry the last week or 2 to lesson the chance of bud rot and it makes it lighter work to move light soil than wet soil. then again i grow indica plants not sativa may be they prefer the dry soil.

Yo nut.

Thanks for the kind words. The clone issue sucks, but it is summer, and I have would-be moms all over... I do keep the soil dry, but that shit in the above pix is diotomaceous earth after it got a lil wet (starts out white). I sprinkle it on the top of the soil for the plants coming inside. I have found that having a lot of coco (both chunky/coarse and the botanicare) in the mix makes re-hydration much easier. A bone dry pot will rehydrate no problem for me.

I read somewhere that letting sativa dom strains go bone dry a few times at the end of flower will help them ripen a lil quicker. I think it helps. I also think that the buds taste better with some water stress toward the end.

I would have some outdoor pix for y'all, but the weather here is PERFECT, 70-80 and sunny every day, with nice soaking rains rolling through every few days. We have not had a drought, heatwave, or flood so far this summer..... God is watchin my plants for me. He is a good dude...
 
Hey BARLETTA

Diotomaceous earth also helps with some insects. It fucks up their exoskeleton. So does 20 mule taem Borax but it aint good for plants.

I think Shanti said something about "killing" SSH off that way. Letting it go dry. I let my SSH go pretty dry this last grow.

If Shanti is reading, I aologize if you didn't say that.

Yo SALIVA FAN hahahaha....:)
Sf, what up.

I got that stuff for the slugs outdoors, but I have been using it around the house for flea control, actually. Spread DE over the door jambs, and around the doggie door. I think that I have fungus gnats, and this doesn't seem to be doing much... I spread DE, and they walk around on it. It gets a lil wet, and they seem to come back full strength. They don't seem to be really crushing the plants once they are in flower though. I have also read that the plants like it when the DE dissolves/washes into the soil. I put it on the plants coming in to prevent any NEW bugs, lol. I have a few spiders (plant protectors) that I am raising down below.

Now I look at spider bites as kisses of appreciation for all the bugs I give em....

Giving 2 good drenches of neem then letting the medium stay dry seems to be the best to keep em at bay. As I understand it, I will be completely exchanging the medium, and sterilizing the entire operation in order to really get em...
