Orcas' Logs

Nice to hear from you Moto, I love pets better then people on most days!:) I think I'm getting a handle on the mite infestation. Its been interesting because some of my plants seem to be more resistant then others. For example My two cuttings of Cherry Bomb Indica have no mites. I found that my Jaffa Cake and Higgs Boson cuttings had the most mites and were removed yesterday. I'm now seeing very few mites and what I think are eggs and hoping they will not hatch now. I don't know how well that I would of handled this situation without all of the great help here. A big THANK YOU again to everyone that has assisted!:)

A good Sunday morning to everyone, The good news is that I'm pretty sure that have won the battle with the mite infestation. There has been no sign of mites for days now. Here are all of the plants this morning.

Plus this morning I up potted the two Kodiak Gold seedlings to bury them from there major stretch.

Yesterday I helped my wife again with her essential oil business at a dog fest focused on service dogs. I was a great day.

Thanks for sharing

A good Sunday to all! After a few crazy weeks of fighting mites and the passing of my father last Sunday. I know that my father is pain free and in a better place with my mother, and now the plants are finally mite free and worthy of showing again. The weather has also been so crazy here in Colorado. This has been pure Indian summer with still no sign of ending. Great football weather for tomorrow night for my broncos. I ride my bike right by mile high stadium almost everyday. It's really fun on game day!:)
Here is a much needed update of the garden. Now that the perpetual garden is mite free and removing the two most invested strains it was time to plant some more seeds. Decided to plant two freebie seeds that I got from logic with my purchase back in January. I planted the two fat ones on top yesterday.

Here is one of the last three infested plants that were in bloom cut. Harvesred and drying.

Next are these two Kodiak Gold seedlings. Protecting them from mites has really slowed things down now thirty plus days old.

Here are the saved cuttings. First being my own Diesel by Paki, and Blue OG.

Next Are the two Platinum Cookies by Blue Doggy Dogg.

The nursery.

Here are my two Reeferman Cherry Bomb Indica's right at a week in bloom.

Next is our Diesel by Paki a little rough looking through the mite seizure but plumping nicely.

Next is our Blue OG. Here is a plant that can suite anyone's size limit with great quality.

And to finish the bloom area.

Peace to All!

Hell ya orca glad you won the battle! Things are looking good bro! Hope all is well. I'm watching the walking dead :)

Happy Friday! Here are my two new unknown strain baby's that were planted last Saturday.

 

[Orcaman]

Here's to a great Halloween to all!

 

[Orcaman]

Happy first Friday of November, My Stepmother finally held the memorial service for my father yesterday. The best part of it for me was to see and talk to my younger brother for the first time in over ten years. I'm hoping he will now stay it touch with me and my sister! This last week my prizes arrived from winning POTM. 100 pounds of nutes from Nectar for the Gods and more Osa28, Colony x, and Deep 6.

I have to share this incident that happened Wednesday afternoon. Reaching for a plant in the nursery I bumped one of my new seedlings and snapped the stem without completely breaking it off. I knew the best thing to do was not touch it and I was right. I'm really getting a lot of stretch of late and think I need to replace my T5 bulbs.

A good Monday to everyone! Wanted to share a few images of our Diesel x Paki before I cut her in a minute. After growing her for over four years this is the first time she has gone into colors.

shes purdy, was it colder than usual ?

 

[Orcaman]

Thanks Srenots, With this crazy never ending fall here in Denver my cellar temps have not dropped yet where I have the bloom area. My temps with LED lighting and a oil filled radiator as needed, maintains daily right at 70 to 80 degrees with lights on and drop into the mid 60's lights off. The only current change is back in July I went from using General Organics for years and years to Nectar for the Gods that I'm loving so much more. It makes me think that General Organics nutes do not flush out well to allow full colors at finish. I'm so glad to be rid of them after Monsanto took over GH. It's scary to know that they are now trying to develop genetically modified cannabis.
Here's to that never happening!:)

Heard that !....that Cherry Bomb is awesome too.....

 

[Orcaman]

Happy Friday everyone, It's turning into a very interesting never ending fall here in Denver. We still have not had a hard freeze and more of the same weather for at least the next week. Check out some of my outdoor garden still active.
These Geraniums are just loving the temps and sun.

This is the first time in my life as a native to Colorado at 54 years seen Morning Glory still blooming in mid November. Even the Mums are spent in the Background.

I picked my last pepper off of this plant a month ago leaving the plant to keep going for no reason. A week ago she started to flower again to my surprise.

And last is this Super Sweet 100 cherry tomato plant still producing fruit later then I have ever seen!

Come on Winter!:)

 

[CBDEMON]

Looking awesome man! Congats on the POTM!

 

[Orcaman]

It's great to hear from you CBDEMON, Did you finally get settled down? You have crossed my mind many times after you moved and then not active here!:) Also did you get a good outdoor grow this year?

 

[Orcaman]

A good Saturday to all, Been needing to do a little updating. Lets start with these two new seedlings that again went stretch crazy. With them too tall to just re pot I cut them like a clone to get them down to a decent size. They should take just fine as I have done this in the past when one of our cats knocked a board down on a seedling breaking its stem. I then put a clean cut on the stem and put her in some soil and a humidity bag and it rooted and grew out nicely.

Here are the next two that will finally move into bloom real soon with only two girls in bloom at the current time after the mite fight. These are my two different pheno Platinum Cookies x Blue Doggy Dog.

The Cookie Dom

The balance girl

Here are these two Kodiak Gold youngsters. They are finally shaping up and should know there sex very soon.

Kg 1

Kg 2

And the whole nursery gang.

And the finish are these two Cherry Bomb Indica's in the bloom area. They are both different pheno's.

CB 1

CB 2

Also I need to that I have added an 11th component using the Nectar for the Gods nutes.

Aphrodite’s Extraction

Aphrodite’s Extraction provides a rich blend of sucrose, glucose, and phosphate to promote a thriving microbial population and strong, healthy plant growth. In addition to calcium, microbes need carbon in order to manufacture complex proteins for normal growth and reproduction: low carbon equals low microbial activity. Sucrose is one of the most available forms of carbon for a plant. When sucrose and glucose are blended with proteins, it becomes a microbial feast. Thank you Oregon's Only Organics!


Happy Growing too ALL!:)

A good Friday morning to everyone. Well finally it snowed yesterday and last night and finally a hard freeze with it being 19 degrees this morning. This was our first moisture in 37 days which is very unusual. I'm currently dehydrating the rest of the cherry tomato's that we picked on Wednesday before the weather. This weekend I'll dehydrate our Marjoram, Oregano, and Thyme that are still potted but in the house.

Here is our newest female in the garden. Reefermans Kodiak Gold! I also topped her.

Still waiting on the other KG to sex.
I hope everyone has a great day!:)
