Great work all round 'Mate'

Thanks for sharing, Excellent growing skills both indoor & outdoors, lots of pics(I like pics me) lots of great info

The EQ looks & sounds like your onto a winner, She looks special, keep it green , peace

 

[barletta]

Thanks Red, no prob! The Eq is taking on more and more lemon by the day. If you said 'Fast Mexican', first I would think Speedy Gonzales, then this EQ. I like her, and I think that at least 1 of 2 scrappy clones should make it.

I've been throwing around all kinds of plants and clones, and made up clone/cross names, so here is what I have in veg, just to keep it all straight.

Current Moms:
SSH 1 (iffy)
SSH 4
Shit (45day)
Unknown SuperSpice (Spice x SSH). I think that is the 'Indy' pheno. I'll get pix of the plant that I think it is in a bit.

Rooted clones:
SSH 5 (1 to be a mom until I decide if I want to keep her around. Quick and hazy as a seedplant)
Pakalolo
EQ
Shit (45day)

Unrooted:
SSH 4
SSH 1

Seedlings:
G13/Sk x Sk
Shit
MangoWidow x (og kush x g13/Hz(c))

Now fer some Pix!!

SuperSpice (sexy runt pheno) in hempy bukkit, ~11 wks. Going at least 1 more wk.

Same plant as a bush in 2 gal of organic cocomix @ ~4wks

EDIT - A muthafukka is dyslexia

 

[barletta]

Some iffy ~8wks

The other non-herm MMG. She is a tall, lemony girl. My transplant soil was a lil fukked up (I think a lil too hot + too much lime..), so all of the transplants from that ~2wk span are a lil whacked. She recovered ok, and the EQ took it like a champ. The indy dom bagseed was actually most affected, leaf's a lil crinkly/twisty. Maybe that's why the other MMG hermed. The plant looks fine, no mutations or dead stuff, or anything. There are just seeds all over...

Anyway, this plant is a nice one too.

these are some great pics b!


Lovely plants and flowers , keep it up mate

 

[barletta]

Thanks L. I won't be upgrading the cam anytime soon, however. Bills suck. SuperSpice DOES NOT SUCK.

This is the outback SuperSpice ~8wks since first flowers. She needs ~2-3 more weeks, but she is starting to funk up a lil too much, and we may be getting heavy rain, so I think I'll be cutting her ~Friday. She smells awesome, but it is making me paranoid. I have more in the bush that will go a lil longer.

Cheating, I know...

 

[barletta]

Some of the Outdoor Spice from last weekend. I'ma try to re-veg my last "Spice F1". She has some shitty lil buds down low on her stem, so I'll try to save her. It won't be the first time I had to re-veg this cut. This would be a staple outdoor strain for me if I had a secure, easy access spot. It is more or less finished, and is TASTY. Tropic Thunder. Nice 'In the Zone' high. Could kill some videogames/basketball/snowboarding with this strain. Motivated, but calm.

Did I mention that so far, she crosses well???

 

[barletta]

Went to see the sexy runt SuperSpice seedplant today. This is her ~2-3 wks to go, no shading or anything. May have to chop her this weekend.

And a tobacco wrap that I rolled for the trip. Caught a lil hash snake and threw him in there...

Mad props to the 'black' spice and 'sweet' Shit. The batch of curing buds from those 2 plants is catpiss/pine/tropical skunk. YUM, YUM. I have some smoke reports to do...

[Greenmoon]

Lovin it 2 everyone.

Real sweet array of plants and pics!

barletta holy hell, what going on with those trichs very nice shit!!!

 

[barletta]

Thanks fer stoppin in, guys. The plants are Shanti's genetics, I just give em a lil water now and then...

Don't panic, it's organic!
Here is what most of them get:
Measuring units for dry substances inches (Lg or Sm), and Handfulls (Lg or Sm)
(per gallon of coco/peat mix))
On transplant:
Lg pinch dolomite
Sm handfull Kelp meal
Sm handfull P guano
Lg pinch plant success
Sm handfull greensand
Sm handfull rock phosphate
Sm pinches of plant success and kelp right near the roots after the rest is mixed

@ 4wks, topdress with Lg handfull of Kelp, sm handfull of P guano, sm pinches of rock phos and G.sand

I fix any def's with either kelp/castings/compost tea/molasses, or if I am lazy, I give a 1/2 shot of PBP. I use a lil bit of EJ bloom toward the end of flower, and water only (at least) the last 2-3 wet/dry cycles. I like Age-old for an easy, cheap veg/bloom fert. I'll be running some SSH in coco with straight PBP vs. Age-old, EJ for the last 3-4 wks for both. Both will get pinches of dolomite, kelp, and plant success. I love me some Briar rabbit molasses, and use B-1 red and Liquid Karma in small amounts almost every watering when I have em (cut back on the kelp in the medium).

I also use but have run out of:
Crab Shell
Castings
Rare Earth/Diamond Black

I spray clones/veg feed with:
B-1 red and Liquid Karma.

Hey, How about another pictureless post???

You got it!

I have 5 EQ's in a paper towel for 36 hrs. I couldn't bring myself to drop all 8 remaining seeds, lol. Anyway, I see 2 lil sprouts, and 1 other cracked. I plan on making EQ f2's, and using a male for the g/sk and Shit that I have vegging. They are kinda scaring me with their 'speed'. I hope they make it. The first batch was 5 or 6 for 8 making it. I still haven't heard back on the 3 that I gave away...

I also cracked an 'emergency' bean stash. It has (i don't remember the proportions) SSH f2's and Spice x SSH (SuperSpice). The ssh f2's are 1 male on 3 females (#'s 1, 2 and 3...), and the SuperSpices are the same parents as what I've been growing out. I wanted to run a few, and 20 ended up on the papertowel. 1 looked white and tasty, so I ate it. 19 beans. I keep coming back to that #, lol. Let's hope I end up with more than 6 plants from them 3 weeks from now.

I'll make it up to y'all with some pix 2moro.

 

[Greenmoon]

Very interesting grows you have happening there and planned barletta.Looking forward to more pics and info asap


lol,just a bit oif water if its shantis beans..i like it

 

[herbmister]

i wish there were snakes like that over here

 

[barletta]

Gm, herb - Whattup! LOL, 'Just add water, but here's what I add..' Thanks fer the love, that snake is deffo not indigenous to the region. He is the product of a science experiment gone terribly right, lol.

Went back to that SuperSpice today. She may come down after this rain, maybe not. If I get under an inch, and the temps stay up, and the wind stays up, I'll let her go a lil.

Some more.

I also went out to see the Aurora around the cornah, and it looks like it should be ok for the upcoming rain, as it needs a month or so. They both have this AWESOME floral smell. I couldn't stop thinking that it was a nearby bush in full flower. I dunno what the smell is, but it smells like the native bushes that are flowering in June/July when I was planting. Not at all like pot. 1 plant was getting whacked by PM, but the other looks good to go. I picked off all of the leaves that I saw with the shit on them. I'll be heading down to Farms for pics very soon...

I'll get some pix from down below up in a lil bit.

 

[Greenmoon]

Nice 1 barletta,hope the rain dont effect that SS she looks proud!.look forward too seeing how she turns out ect.

Hey, How about another pictureless post???

You got it!

I have 5 EQ's in a paper towel for 36 hrs. I couldn't bring myself to drop all 8 remaining seeds, lol.

Looks like things are coming along great for you bro, nice plants. I would encourage you to germinate the remainder of the EQ if you have the space etc. The greater your numbers, obviously the better chance you have of finding that true "Early Queen". Find one that runs the 40 in under 4.3, and you will be a happy man I suspect.

 

[barletta]

Who said Early Queen???

That plant is ~7wks since 1st flower, and I'm thinking another ~2 wks. She has started to drink a lil more slowly, but the fans aren't yellowing yet. She has a delightful cheesy/lemony scent to her. I will give the Queen her due, but this run is for a jumbled F2 batch. Ima get a pack of EQ and a few others before next summer (MH, MH x nev's, ES, Mk/Sk, new stuff...) I have 'too many' keepers as it is, lol. Like this Spice that I've taken to ~65 days. She was done ~10 days ago, but barletta likes em strong...

Strong??? Oh you mean this Shit plant.

Same cut as the one that went piney outside. Takes ~55-60 days, today is 66 days. I don't have much indica 'on deck', and prolly won't have too much for a while, so I wanna squeeze these for what they are worth. This is the last cut of this plant. It is from the seedplant that I grew out early in the thread. 'Piney' outside, so far just funky inside.
