[extractoilminussixty]

I have 3 different phenos but they are all very close with slight to med variations.

Things change in flower quite a bit.

Getting anxious To see everybody’s end results…tic toc…

Grn Mtn, U had asked about autos, well since we’re all waiting anxiously for our current bounties thought I’d post one of my pineapple express Barney’s farm and expert guerrilla ExSeeds harvest picture Day 73…
The pineapple express in the back right side of the pic turned purple… only One that did that out of about 12 I have grown past 2 years…(allowed six Medical flowering plants per grow in Missouri, but 18 in total at three different stages)…

LST training from day 21…(this is when I didn’t know my a hole from a hole in the ground !!! ).
Now I make my own soil mixture a lot of organics and properly pH water 6 …
The plants above lived on a pH of 10…??????? MO tap water Super high alkalinity.

Hey those are beautiful! Love the gorilla. Is the potency and taste comparable to the photo gorilla?

 

[grnmtn]

Usually I can eyeball an auto BUT not with yours bro! Excellent Excellent!

I don’t know, I only smoked Photoperiod Gorilla once To be perfectly honest and don’t remember it that well, of course on the other hand maybe that says something of itself…?
My buddy that smoked the Auto gorilla last week that I have had in the freezer for one year, took two small small buds
(I will call him and see what he thinks, he got pretty lit up here off three or four hits).
I can take a small Bud & squeeze it into a chunk of Herb Hash ball it has so much resin ! Also when trimming the Buds my trim scissors kept getting clogged up, It was one of very few auto strains that did that.
Well my buddy will get back to me once he does his Gorilla test.

So, my friend did 4 hits Expert Gorilla around 2:30 2 1/2 hrs ago,
Says the high about like GSC auto, but a little more head high/euphoria…he’s still buzzed! Says he actually likes GSC better, he got a little bit paranoid spatial feeling with the gorilla… I think he’s trying to say the gorillas little bit more of a couch like weed…
I’m not smoking right now I’m back in the job market…. :(
(I think the really good photo strains are still overall most likely more potent…on average ?)

My Bam giving me the finger today when I went into my kitchen this morning and looked out the window…??? I’ve never had a holy like that literally stick straight up vertically, two hours later it was laying back flat down !

Ayaaaaaa

 

[VoodooChild]

marijuana seed connect (owner) this is from a thcfarmer.com customer who actually has had the real BAM a very long time ago.
he identifies my BLACK AFRICAN MAGIC (Sativa) landrace seed as the REAL BAM.
Not all bam plants grow black or dark. We’ve popped thousands of BAM over the years. Yes some are darker leafs and some are darker buds, but not all or even the majority.

That's huge man can you take a picture of the whole plan ?

 

[VoodooChild]

Guy your plants are so healthy, have you got some advises for indoor cluture because I'm gonna start my first one in one week or two

 

[extractoilminussixty]

((Not sure this question is for me, but if not Disregard)))

rule 1: pH around 6 give or take

rule 2: refer to rule 1
(get a pH test Kit & use it, I’ll say it again use IT)

rule 3: organics soil & nutrients, well somewhat my soil now is :
My soil mix % ratios :
Fox Farm Ocean Forest
32% 4-1-1 Kelp Manley
Black Gold Organic Potting Soil
32% .05-0-0
StLouis Composting Raised Bed Mix
18% .5-0-0 (this is basically a heavy river lome dirt with peat) any heavy garden soil would suffice.
Black Cow Cow Manure (commercial brand)
18% .5-.5-.5
Hoffman Super Chicken Manure Pellets
2-tsp per pot@ top 4-2-3 (Mix into top 1” 1x month)

((side note: I’m now trying to experiment with temps, soils, pH, of native strains
IE: BAM Blavk African Magic that this thread is about likes
Acidic soil, high heat, Sandy loam soil,
12 light schedule, high humidity, well easier said than done, but I’m trying))

Liquid Nutrient: that I use as well,
Fox Farm Chart (sort of)

rule 4: LST training …LST Training starting around day 20 on autos…prepare to work everyday !!!…spread your hand out around the plant base and say where are the openings ??? Then pull your main top to that area & pull the rest of the branches around the clock…! wire them down to your cloth grow pot…thin green cheap wire…
Make sure no leaves cover a potential flower tip…if they do pick em off
By day 30, 40% of leaves should be picked off, because of all the flowering bud branches…it’s work daily!
((and no the weed won’t be in shock or hurt growth, what growth Veg or potential Flowering sites, I’ll take flowering ! ))
I have 50-65 hrs in per grow…75 Days.


rule 5: I water every 3 days, when top 1/4” soil dry
(water slowly, then repeat, try to soak pot, with very little drain through)
pH around 6 , “DO NOT GUESS, TEST”

rule 6: If top plant leave tips “only” show edge browning or getting pale …raise lights
(I use Blurples ~55 true Watts per
Sq/ft. Usually around 18-20” above plants.)

rule7: Harvest/Curing, F*ck the jars…like seriously opening 15-20-30 jars 2x per day what a pain in the Arsse!!!
I hang dry about 9 days in cool basement, then cut bud branches off & place vertically (bottom down) in deep food cooler & test humidity overnight, depending on humidity I will add wet cloth to bottom of cooler until my humidity stays at 60/65%
for 4 weeks…( great thing about cooler is only one lid to open or crack whatever it takes to reach target curing humidity) then place in jars or bags for aging open occasionally for air once a week for next 2 months or so … I then vacuum pac and age in another cooler for several months then off to the Freezer…if any left ;)…after the oil and hash farm


Most of my herb for me anyway is best about 1 year latter…smooth & no chlorophyll…


Everybody has the right way, but my way is right for me… !


Oh rule 8, don’t listen to one thing I said because in years you will have your own rules ?

 

[grnmtn]

So it's been 8 full weeks at a 12/12 light schedule. These buds just keep stacking layer over layer so I'm really not sure how much longer they have?

The most sativa looking plant has the most landrace traits and the least desirable of the three as far as bud density, smell and overall yield. Not sure if I'd grow anymore of this pheno in future.

One plant has rounder and dense buds and the other is a combination of the two and looks and smells very close to what I remember b being like. So the other two are definite keepers on future.

Here are some pics,....
1st...sativa dom
2nd...round and dense bud
3rd....most like bam I remember.
Two pics of each

[grnmtn]

This one and the last two pics are the one that is very close to bam in my memory and I swear I see some black sugar leaves starting but they don't show well in pics in lighting.

 

[grnmtn]

Sorry for the poor quality pics as I'm using my low quality cell phone camera. I'll try to get tric pics at the end. These three are holding things up and they will come down in two weeks regardless if they are finished. I can't keep growing 3 plants in a space designed for a hell of a lot more!
I'll do a full room of bam in the future.

 

[grnmtn]

It's hard to see but there is black coloring on some sugar leaves like in the middle of pic.

Above a close up picture of your picture!!! That’s some darkness & resin coated fan leaves yummy.

Son of a bitch. ;)
“TIMBER”. nice milky Ttycs. if u ask me & yes Black color is quite obvious …looks to be some decent smoke

(Now I am curious what my little bushy girl is going to do…? I’m torn between letting her finish outside or bring in & bombard with UVB, heat, & light intensity
Oh the Humanity of it all ) !

 

[grnmtn]

They can take a lot of light. I have each under their own quantum board plus a 400 hps AND a 400 MH in the middle of the three. Kind of ridiculous but I'm testing to see how much abuse they can take.

Wow got me beat… hey I just put a close-up picture of your picture on my previous post… “say what” !!!

Cool! Mh is down low blasting lower buds and hps up way high. It's not like all three are on top of each other.
