Oldbay’s Perpetual Grow Circus Tent

[boo]

mebbe I should shut down my garden and smoke yours...

 

[AladinSane]

Thank you for stopping in AladinSane - I’m all ears on tips for the Grinspoon as it’s a first run for me. How long did you veg for and what types of training kept things in line, I prefer topping to a lot of LST etc... but I’m open. Did you post pics?

Good morning Oldbay, sorry I did not answer sooner, but here it goes, from memory as I grew the good Dr. 4 or 5 years ago. First time I bent it over as she gets tall. Next grow she got topped. Dr. Grinspoon takes forever to mature. She will look just like the pictures you see, tall and lanky with wispy buds. Have not seen any other cannabis plant look anything like the good Dr.

Nugs have been in the jars 2-3 weeks, looking/smelling/tasting great

I cannot wait to test my 2 GMOP girls, especially after watching yours finish up.. She was so purdy.. so, what are
you getting regarding terp profile.. yours from seed also right?
Your doing some awesome work here bro.. cannot wait to see what your next grow does... hmmmm? hehe

Hey buddy, read up thru here regarding your light issues. In veg, what height are you running your light at.. I run my Spider Farmer SF 1000 at almost 2ft.. once I did that they loved it.. I also did not bother with the dimmer switch after watching a few videos.. my tent is 24" x 30" x 6.5ft...

I have faith you'll get things figured...

As far as the GMOP, I’ll have to sit down with it as a first toke to get the smells/taste right. I’m definitely getting some of the garlic/mushroom/onion but I can pick them out individually as not going to the office in months has had me in a pretty perpetually hazed state and I’ve been drinking a lot as well. What I do know is that it is seriously potent smoke and cuts through it all. Probably TMI but makes my girlfriend and I both extremely horny as well.

As far as the 100 4k in the 2x2x4,we are trying for different things. Once they hit the 6-8th node they are fine but the seedlings and younger plants are just tweaked out by it (and/or a combination of my soil and feed). They get pale, weird stuff and just seem stressed and I have a different tent for flower so the early time is what I need it for (4k vs flowering light May have something to do with it). The light is hiked up to the top of the 4’ and the seedlings are in the 1 gal fabrics lots sitting in on the bottom slightly boosted to some props to keep them from soaking their feet.

nothing to back this up, but I think this stress has led to an absurdity ratio of all males aside from what came as feminized seeds or cuts.
So far the cut back to the 65 seems to be going well after only a couple days. Baby seedlings are much happier but still too soon to tell. If I had a dimmable driver, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Just a little update about the current Sativa poi hunting

 

[giggy]

looking good, will be watching the show.

 

[Oldbay]

Quick Log update and things are quite fine

First - the scourge of the males was 100% too much light. Switching from the 100watt 4k to the 65watt 4k in the 2x2 veg tent has made all the difference and the only thing I changed. Respect dem LEDs fam

Crocket family haze - female - by far the earliest and weirdest one to pass out smells - incense and woods. Stoked
Asian Beauty - 1 male and one female Asian beauty - yup, we are chucking pollen! May hit some of the others too as the male is super nice
Dr Grinspoon- was a fem seed but showing wispy little hairs - super stretchy
Panama x Genius- 2 females, one stretchier than the other, these will share a 5 gal pot (all others in a 3) - following some advice from mass medical with the multiples in a pot

Still waiting on the Malawi (and other ace stuff) and will pop those and a fresh batch of the Mekong High ones when they get here.

Will get some pics after a while but they still don’t look like much, particularly after some repeated topping, taking clones, cleaning the bottoms and uppotting - the good fight to control the stretch is well underway. They all only got about 10 days of veg and I suspect that may have been a good call.

 

[Oldbay]

I may have overcompensated for the stretch but we’ll see. Lots of flowering time left. 10 day veg, topped twice and sunk low in the pot when transplanted. All cloned and bottoms cleaned up

 

[giggy]

i sink mine when i repot too.

 

[Carty]

Say whaaaaat.. hehe. Dude, I love the Sativa hunt you have going down.. always looking for something along them lines that finishes a bit faster but still gives ya that old school up high without the paranoia. The selections your running sound amazing.. dummy me gifts away his Malawi crosses..

I sink mine also, I think we do it to add strength to the stem system and so it supports ALL that weight later on... hehe.

Oldbay, I'm supposed to be geting some Bubblegum crosses to go thru, hoping to find my Sativa pheno among them.. love the flavor of it and this is supposed to be from the original Indiana cross.. never know..

Pulling up a bean bag for the show my brother...

P.S.
Our Vietnamese Black from the 2017 run.. started as F2 stock, we've run it outdoors for past 4yrs and she produces some very nice smoke.. this year he (ZeroZero) pulled all the males for a seedless run... here's a shot of some small nugs sent with seeds inside for me to have some seed stock back..

 

[Oldbay]

That VB looks great, I’m super curious to see how this run goes. I’ve got some Puna Voice (golden voice dom) that may be getting popped today as well as a Mekong high that may be interesting but I don’t have room for both right now.

Arts and Crafts day

 

[Cannagrammy]

Whatcha doing there, Mr. Oldbay?

I just read your journal, I'm excited to tag along!

 

[Oldbay]

Hey @Cannagrammy - It’s the Asian beauty pollen (basically Vietnamese Black) - some on the same and some on the others in flower currently. Starting to see some brown pistols now. Running long flowering sativas makes for a fairly slow thread but very happy to have you along!

 

[Oldbay]

Hey all, life has been getting in the way and the garden is showing it. Luckily our favorite plant seems to come through despite us.
Both the BH7 and the KM (such an odd and great pheno, squat and bushy but still a great up Sativa high) have a branch dusted with Original Haze pollen from a friend. The 79 Xmas bud x Pine tar Kush (I’ve named naughty list) smells like straight pine needles and nothing else, hope she stays that way has a branch dusted with the same for F2s

peace,
O

awesome!

I have some fresh ecsd x Ogers , some Snow Leopards , C99 , and some Columbian Red x UK Cheese , all seeds in the fridge.

Good to see ya post my friend. Hope all is well.

 

[Oldbay]

Some of these will need to be run again as it was about 6-8 weeks of just dumping water on them with the occasional feeding but they are coming out pretty nice anyway. The BH7 came down today (safety glasses for scale) - the lower I dusted with original haze pollen took, just need it to dry out a bit to see how many I got. KM lower was dusted with the same and should be interesting as she is such a squat little bush that doesn’t stretch much in flower but still has a nice up Sativa high. Maybe that can tame the original haze a bit.
