Mentalpatient's White Berry Grow

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

The company who breeds this strain is Paradise Seeds. I'm sure you've heard of them. The seeds sold for $180 for 5 fem'd seeds, kinda expensive in my opinion! The package says they are well suited to SOG's and such. Pretty neat strain so far . They will probably go in flower sometime around mid April or Mid May. I'm planning on taking a lot of clones from these ladies when the time comes.

[cannabis037]

wow! hey mental, just dropped by your journal and i have to say, wow. haha, i wish my plants looked half as good as yours. gratz on the beauty.

 

[unogrowdude]

Mental, You paid 180 for your seeds? I bought mine from sensible and paid $58.25. Got to say though yours are the bushes girls I've ever seen! I hope mine develop as nice as yours.

Super sweet job Mental... no stretch at all.. those plants are rock stars...

 

[swiftgt]

very nice!
how big is your grow box?
take a look at my grow!

 

[goneindawind]

she really is dense might be a huge nug from the looks of it. when do u plan to flower her?

 

[painterdude]

.....hi mental...read your 'box grow' front to cover, great thrill for me because of the cfi's......and now I get to enjoy your current grow.....you have a green thumb like my wife does but she thinks you guys are way too sophisticated....she just breaks branches off and sticks them into the ground...mostly herbs....and some flowers....

....I wish she would take a look at your plants.....

.....what kind of dirt are you using this year?.....and have you ever used bat guano? or black strap molasses?....anyways, will follow this thru and enjoy everyone's comments......stay warm.....and buy an extra propane bottle......I am stuck using two 120 gallon tanks, one for my house and one for the other house where the wife takes her baths......both are old, wodden, funky, hippy houses with minimal insulation and they breathe with eaze.....the painterdude

Thanks for the kind words guys. Appreciate all the positie feedback about my precious little ladies.

Yes UnoGrow, I paid 180.00... I was expecting it to be cheaper. Who knows, maybe the guy just made up a number and sold it for a higher price than it was originally. This is what I suspected when I was driving home, but it's not really that big of a deal because these plants will surely pay for themselves and then some.

Not sure how big my box is swiftg, but it's a little over 6 feet tall I believe. I accidentally made it so big that I can't get it through the doorway if I needed to move it. So I'd have to dismantle it if I wanted it out of here :laugh: .

Goneindawind, I'll probably end up flowering her starting sometime mid May or early May. If I decide early May, she should be ripe before the fireworks in July. :ccc:

And hey there painterdude, whats cookin? Glad to see you stopped by and especially with some flatering words I might add :giggle: .
She thinks we're too sophisticated, aha, maybe and maybe not too much. Breaking branches from these babies for clones would make me wince, I use fresh razor blades, they work like charm, much better than snapping branches off!
I'm using Shultz Proffesional Potting Soil this year with added ferts and micronutrients already added to the soil. Seems to be working fine and holds water fine. So far so good.
Don't think I'm going to be buying any more propane. Know why? Because it's getting really warm outside here! I'm extremely happy and hopefully things stay warm so I can get an early crop going for the summer. :hubba:
Do you have anything going on at your place painter? I'd love to see some pictures.

A light fell over onto one of my seedlings. It was fried and there was no coming back . Down to three now.

Temperatures are rising. Box temp reading constant 19C. Could be warmer, but in due time it will be.

Smaller plant showing signs of stress. Possibly stale air or heat issues. Maybe even PH.

Took a total of 6 clones - yes! - from the bigger plant. All quite small and from the inside bottom of the plant. They are in the clone dome with n 18 watt tube flouro on the lid for now. Going to fetch the cloning box sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Happy growing folks.

 

[thedonofchronic]

for a mental patient you grow pretty good erbs!
cant wait to see the WB clones grow up too.

 

[cannabis037]

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

[chiefALLday]

good work mental !! been following ur threads, i expierencd many similarities to ur setup, tho i had much higher temps around 83 and it was hindu ku. used ffof though, w bg and tb. i would like to know ur watering/feeding schedule. keep up the good work....

ps. you inspired me to sign up to the website,, hahhaa

 

[OliieTea]

Pretty little bush you have there.... yum

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Thanks for all the kind words folks. CheifAllDay, I water them every two days, usually ammounting to 400-500ml each plant. When nutrients come into play I feed every 2-3 days. Still need to catch up on nutrient information, see if I can get the feedings to be more effective.

The girls wanted to say hello! They are doing just fine despite a dip in temperatures. I believe that my smaller WhiteBerry has either somewhat faulty genetics in vegging or it is the soil that is preveting her to grow as vigerously as my bigger WhiteBerry.
The clones popped out of their steamy spa to wish you all happy growing as well. Aren't they nice!

The last picture shows what I use for taking cuttings except for a spray bottle and a cup of water to soak the cube. I never take more than 6 clones at a time. Then I wait 2 or 3 days before I take more.

Anyways, enough typing... My space bar is broken so I'm using tab marks for spaces instead, hah.

 

[thedonofchronic]

your gonna be swimmin in the whiteberry plants soon arnt ya?
you must be one happy camper. i know i would be.

gotta say, your biggest WB has got to be one of my faveourite plants on the forum right now.

Quick update tonight. Just wanted to post some pictures of the ladies. The smaller White Berry is looking kind of sickly. Probably the cold that's doing it. Could be the soil too. The smaller WB has a noticably heavier weight compared to the other. Could be water that hasn't been used yet or something. I might decide to flush the soil soon.

Temperatures are cold. Walked in today to notice the temps were at 12C. I really can't wait until warmer weather hits...

The clones are indoors at the moment. Way too cold for them anywhere else. They are looking very strong and healthy. Roots will probably show in 1-2 weeks indoors where it's normally 24C or somewhere close to that.

Seedlings are growing very slowly. They are roughly 2-3 weeks now and are rather small. No big deal, really. I got time .

Thanks for all kind words everyone. It's really appreciated . Time to go buy a little herb and chill with some good friends for the night.

Happy growing!
