The Dope Shed.

[CallmeTex]

What up folks, welcome to the shed. Feel free to post here and chime in any time. We'll start with some pics.
Here we have 5 Deep Blue x Smelly Cherry from Breeders Boutique that just recently sprouted.

Here we have the bucket cloner all diy.

Some KO Kush and Sensi Star vegging under 8 bulb t-5

A shot of the Flowering room with both DE's turned off. The cobs are Cree 3590 @ 1400mA.

Pictured the 600/750 de just coming to life, in the slow start mode.

Some KO kush from Sannies. Been running this cut for a year, and will retire it soon due to low yield and being prone to deficiency. She pretty though.

I really want to push myself to start 5 new seeds every month, and try to have as many different genetics as I can in my space. I've got 5 Kimbo Kush in about week 5 of veg and starting to show sex. I'm really interested in heavy yielding hybrids and know this one has potential. My next seeds to crack will be the rest of the pack of Kimbo.

Welcome to the shed, neighbors;)

I made this cross back in 2013. It was Chemdog x Snow Lotus (Chem Glue) female x Unknown Stout Bluberry sativa male. I've been calling it Moondawg.
I soaked 10 seeds in a paper towel and all 10 germinated. I ended up with 5 females, all of them sativa dominant and with slightly different flavors. 2 were hazey, 1 was strait blueberry pancakes, and 2 were Chemdog dominant. All of them carried the insane frosting coming from the Snow Lotus. The keeper was fuely with berry undertones and frosty as hell. It finished in 8 wks. But I'll be damned, I mislabeled the clones and lost it. I tried to reveg the original plant, but it didn't work.

This pheno is my for now keeper as I still have several beans. She stacks well, is a dream to trim, density is on point, and has more of a musty chem smell. Not the strait fuel, but good enough. Here she is at day 26. I'll take her to at least 63 days.

Has anyone here grown out any Breeders Boutique gear? Here's a pic of there Fireballs finished product.

Noce room!Have you scoped out the new gavita wide reflectors?Look kind of like the old epap reflector,my buddy is killing with mixed 750s and cobs with them.

Thanks man, it's a work in progress. I haven't seen the new hoods. Where did you see those?

@Freshone
Just looked it up and I do agree they look pretty sick.

These Moondawg went from this day 1

To this at day 28

 

[CallmeTex]

I'm doing an experiment on this group of Moondawg. The 2 plants in the control group have had no defoliation, while the 2 plants in the experiment group have been heavily defoliated on day 7 and 21. All the other variables are close, not perfect but good enough for this basic test.

Things are coming along in the shed. Should take down a crop next week and have another ready to take its place. These fungus gnats have been kicking my ass though, but I think I may have knocked them back a bit tonight.

All the recent batches got top dressed with Neem meal at about 4-5 tbs per container.

From this:

To this:

Then cased with Perilite to see if that helps. I'm also using gnatrol and sticky traps.

The Moondawgs are stacking nicely and it seems the defoliation group may have tighter nodes..

Purple Storm stacking like a champion.

I also did a fertilizer spike tonight, which consists of me poking three 6-8'' holes with a index finger size stick into the soil. Then pouring some organic 6-8-4 fert mix into the holes. I'll take some pics of that next time I do it.

Purple Storm day 49

 

[CallmeTex]

What up Farm, just put the chop on a few girls...
Sensi Star

Knock Out kush

Purple Storm

The MD's coming along too

 

[CallmeTex]

Here we have the MD around night 46. Frosting up nicely, and just on the verge of swelling. These should go 9 weeks plus.
Smell is just starting, as this girl is a late bloomer, chemy og, with pine and blueberry undertones. I kind of regret not keeping a clone of the blueberry pancake pheno. Think I may have to do another seed run before too long.

The defoliation group is making tighter nodes with more bud sights. One of control plants has lockout issues so I probably won't use it in my results.

Lots of nug meat in here.

I've gotten anywhere from 1.1 gpw to 1.5 gpw with these cobs driven @1400mA. I bet mixing spectrum's with the lec will work out real nice. Honestly though if you can afford it Cobs all the way. I'm replacing my Gavitas in the coming months because they are too hot and only getting between .7 to 1 gpw.
Cheers!

I know right.. Not many people running Sannies on this side of the pond. I've got a Kollosus pheno I've been running for a little while. Just discontinued my Knock Out Kush due to low yield. It was potent though.
Have you ran any of E$cobars gear. The purple storm and cheeseberry haze I ran from him were both excellent.

 

[jaybodankly]

I crossed Purple Storm X GSC. Have one vegging. Looks good, growing as well as other "known" strains.

 

[Homegrown365]

I love your setup. Great job. Beautiful grow. Pic of my bucket cloner and my 1k watt COB rack. COBs ROCK!!
Success w/ya grow!!!

 

[CallmeTex]

Your photo is triggering my OCD... lol just kidding, those buds are looking good though.

That's freaking cool Jaybo! Which plant did you make the male? Would love to see your Purple Storm... I've been looking for a GSC cross to run.

 

[jaybodankly]

Took a look at my notes. Actually, it is a Male (Purple Storm X Kolossus) X (GSC). Only have a trich picture handy.

 

[KineRevival]

I grew out a bunch of breeders botique in an outdoor grow several years back. Did a series crossed with a big ol Deep Blue x Sour Cherry male. HB 707, purple valley og, em dawg, fireballs, and widdow. Still havent made it passed F1 with most of them. Good line of genetics!
