Yo shady whats up man! Damn those are some nice shots. These three I like the best. I've missed a few pages but I'm glad I came in time to see those sweet nug shots no doubt.

Shady’s Round 8… Harvesting on Day 72

hell yea shady!!!! do that shit! congrats on the Fire!!!

Right on winta! Hope to see you soon in socal brah... Don't forget to bring that Chemdog D with you... :giggle

looks like you stopped by pnc!!! hows the hammerhead in comparision to kool bloom??? where can you find the hammerhead at big shady???

No doubt bro! I met and chatted with Ape for over an hour. He's a really cool cat... I told him that Swerve said Ape didn't return his calls and I never got my autoflowering Raskal's OG and Chem Valley Kush beans replaced... Now I know that Ape is easily accessible and just trying to spread some good cuts. We also talked about The White fiasco and sometimes shit happens in this biz, but since I don't have a "well connected" inner circle I have to do what I have to do... :itwasntme

I also picked up the Skywalker OG to add to my list of mothers... Here's what I've got currently all rooted and blowing up in the Shady Veg Station (many thanks to my good friend that gifted me most of the OG's and a few other killer cuts, and to my other good friends I'm looking forward to the future):

• Double Underdawg Bx1 pheno #3
• Chemdog's Sister/D Bx1 pheno #1
• Master Kush x Bubba Kush
• Purple Urkle x The White
• Socal Master Kush x The White
• Alien Kush F2 pheno #2
• Guava 13 pheno #2
• Super Sour Diesel
• DNA's Rocklock
• Casey Jones
• Grape Romulan
• Bubba OG
• Jupiter OG
• Diablo OG
• Skywalker OG
• OG Kush (to be culled now that I'm playin' with Fire son)
• The "Shady" Fire Cut (to be chucked with pollen in the future)

As far as Kool Bloom is concerned, I've only used the Dry Kool Bloom and never used the Liquid version. The Dry is similar to MOAB, and you can def get the MOAB if you head up to South County Hydro; also A+ Hydro has HammerHead and so does Grow Annex...

Awesome pics bro!
Happy Harvest!:harvest:

Thx buddy! These girls are getting chopped tonight... :whew

Shady!

How are things? the pics look amazing (just like how i remembered your work) haha. I've been away getting things in order, just started a new grow journal :) I got alot of catch up reading to do i see, last i remember you were testing out LED's. cant wait to catch up on all your work :) keep it up bro!

Happy Pharming!
-Mystre.Pharmer

Whaddup Mystre.Pharmer! Nice to have you back on The Farm... I'm currently rocking 1,200W and will kick on the 1,000W over my Under Current System 6 in a couple days... I don't think I'll ever look back on the LED's as the future is so bright I've got to wear shades... :cool

Fuck Sickkkkkk!!!!! :pimp:

Excellent work man. All the flowers look fantastic, i bet it smells heavenly.

Sweet harvest coming up, don't change the channel. :dance

Thx brah! It's been pretty damn nice to see the current rounds come to completion... Especially since I still haven't hooked up the aircooling in the Round 9 tent, or installed the Can 50... :smirk

wow..I can almost smell the buds from here. Nice and frosty..just in time for X-mas!

Thx for cruising through MHC! You should stop and smell the roses more often... ;)

Something is wrong because I can smell all the buds, all you have to do is zoom in.

No doubt... I love the new zoom feature... Now if I could just sort the threads by Ratings and Views, my Farm life would be complete... :tongueout

Looks like all is well in Shadyville! Which OG cut is that(not Raskals, obviously)? Can't wait for mine to be done...

Thx mcpuffin! I'm assuming you're referring to the one in Round 8? I'm not sure, but she is by far the lowest yielding plant in my garden and is going to be flowered one last time in Round 10... :rock

Shady are you using the .7 or .5 conversion on your meter? Just picked one up today to back up my Milwaukee MW802 meter which i think reads kinda off.

Tdawg

Sup Tdawg! I use the default 0.5 conversion on my Hanna 98129... :nod

When do you think round 9 will be done? Day 65 or so?

They are looking incredibly frosty too btw!

Keep up the high growing standards you over-achiever you:).

Round 9 will be done on Day 70 or longer as I usually push my girls over the edge... :evilgrin Thx for the kind words Sense I. Milla!

Hot Damn my man Shady!!! I knew there was a reason i listen to you... Congrats on an awesome ... awesome grow. The thread is great also! Very informative. Keep up the great work my friend.

Glad you had a chance to stop by my friend... I'll have to check out your girls and see how they're looking... :wait

Absolutely awesome Shadybro! I love your sis/D, DUD, Grape Romulan, and master x bubba. So sweet man. Im not a professional, ;) but that cut def resembles the Fire OGK. Cant wait to see the sweet medicine u produce with that girl in the garden. Best of luck with everything brother, Have a happy holiday :D

Thx for the very kind words TortureKill... I seriously hope to see a journal from you in the future... :yes

Yum, Have you ever just wanted to take a bite?

Absolutely... They smell so damn good, but I have to resist the temptation... :mmm

Hey Shady been away for awhile but come back to find you burnin down the house. Excellent bud shots my man.
Was hoping to find your UC going or am I not lookin in the right place?

Thx and welcome back Socachi... This perpetual journal is coming to an end and the UC will begin in the Under Current forum... :time

Grow on shady! Those girls look awesome. Master x bubba and raskal! Yummy.........lol. Gotta love that shit man.

Thx Rival! I've got to make my way over and see how your TGA grow is doing... See you soon... :friday:

k+ for the mouthwatering bud shots! Nice and swelled up.

Many thanks bud for the good karma... I feel a bit ignorant, but I don't know the lingo when peeps say "k+"... :thinking

Yo shady whats up man! Damn those are some nice shots. These three I like the best. I've missed a few pages but I'm glad I came in time to see those sweet nug shots no doubt.

What's good brah! Thx for the compliments... I've got a few more bud shots for you and the rest of my buddies... :sign0005:

Shady’s Round 9… The Final Flush

more frosty buds my dude! u know the d is comin bro just have some m x b packed in the bowl....for me...u cant burn ;)

Right on winta! Damn, maybe I'll have a job and be able to burn by then, but at least I'll have the custom Wicked Sands tube, my custom Royal slide packed with a bowl of the MxB to rip and a couple cuts for you to haul back... You should really grow the MxB my dude! :cool

Damn those keep lookin better everytime i check in here! I just posted some new pics of my room. Check them out when u get the chance, shady! That dud looks like a killer!

Thx brah! I still need a lot of work dialing-in my coco DTW setup... I was over-watering the last half of bloom and will make sure that doesn't happen the next time... :itwasntme


:sign0005:
Shady’s Round 9… The Final Flush

Alright, this is my fav time of bloom... Cruise control. I’ve had to add a few strings and yo yos to keep the colas from falling on top of each other, but this round is doing pretty well considering I flowered for the first 18 days under T-8’s, then added the dimmable 600W starting at 360W for a week, then ramped up to 400W for a week, and have been on the last half of bloom under 600W w/o air cooling the hood, A/C, or CO2… Like I said, I’m breaking all the rules this round…

Here’s a few shots of the girls taken last night to start Week 9. They were flushed heavily and will continue to be watered with RO until the chop…

Many thanks for the inspiration and taking the time to stop by gtd! Well, the MxB is pretty damn good, but she seems to like the soil/coco mix a bit more... I will eventually get my coco DTW dialed-in though. I have no doubt that you would murder this bitch with your green thumb and rock some crazy colas... Let's see if I can do her justice in the Under Current and under 1000W of pure lumens... :happy

:clapping:clapping:clapping:clapping:clapping

I really want that CVK.

Thx my friend... Really though? Dude, I'll gift you the rest of my CVK beans if you want to sift through phenos and find one that doesn't autoflower... :itwasntme


Well, it looks like the Round 8 Harvest is going to begin tomorrow morning when the lights turn on... For now, here's a look at Round 10...

Shady Business... In the Cuts: Under Current

You Lucky Dog, my jaw jus hit the floor, oh and by the way, thx, I feel much better knowin that i'm not the only one going crazy as i've had to take a break from burnin to get a gig, man that 1st week was the pits, couldn't/still can't sleep for sh*t, appetite is a mess, but its a must, at least till the Guava 13 are done, Peace SSP

 

[theloadeddragon]

thanks man

catching up a bit in your thread has been so very enjoyable to me. Thank you for that little spark I needed. Its time for me to put some work in and fire up some lights! Beautiful work my man. Just what I needed to see to get me up off my ass and back in the garden! I haven' had anything growing for the last two months, and that is a shocking thing for me..... like I lost one of the most key elements of my character.

So in short- You have certainly sparked considerable inspiration in me to start growing again, thank you VERY much.

Yikes! The offer is very generous, but I don't have much time to "sift." Have you sprouted a few already & that's just what they do?

 

[greenthumbdanny]

Whatever ya throw in that bucket undercurrent system is gonna hit hard>>Jaw dropping bro. You could possibly very well set the record for the casey yield if she was to go in there:) My biggest casey in the 6x6 hugo blocks was 13 ounces 2 grams of awesomeness:harvest:

Thx bud! Yeah it's been pretty tough to get sleep since I've got insomnia... That's one reason I have a MMC rec and being sober since October has been interesting to say the least. The good news is that my tolerance is zero now, so the first bowl I blaze is gonna lay me out... :icon_dizzy:

:giggle Yeah I got the bad batch over a year ago that were breed with Swerve's autoflowering SFV... Needless to say, he never replaced my packs and I wasted a lot of time and love on the seedlings. Shit I had a CVK, that I posted a while back, which was full on flowering in my veg station under an 18/6 photoperiod... Maybe The Cali Connection's new gear and gear that doesn't have the SFV is fine, but I'll never deal buy any more of his gear after the poor service or lack thereof... :itwasntme

gtd:passingjoint:

Thx brah... Ahhh, I don't doubt that the Casey Jones could set the record, but I'm sure I would need to supplement with CO2 to get her anywhere near your amazing results... Hmmm, maybe in a few rounds I'll drop some Chemdog D in the buckets and see how she does... :thinking

rocking it over here shady, nice pics man! what og seems to be your favorite? i dont think i could have all those og's id have to pick one and go from there.

What's good Kid! Well to be honest I haven't flowered any of these new OG's yet and the only one I've smoked was the Diablo OG... She was pretty damn good. I'm an Indica fan, as well as an OG and Chem fiend... So I don't think I could choose and keep only one of each... That's my tragic character flaw and what really hurts my yield when running so many diff strains on the same tray. The Under Current will be diff though... Monocropped with the MxB and a single White Master Kush to make things interesting... :cool

 

[justiceman]

Those nugs are looking great man especially that MK x BK. So I have some Q's for ya man!

I flowered for the first 18 days under T-8’s, then added the dimmable 600W starting at 360W for a week, then ramped up to 400W for a week, and have been on the last half of bloom under 600W w/o air cooling the hood, A/C, or CO2… Like I said, I’m breaking all the rules this round…

Why did you start flowering with lower wattage light continually raising the wattage as flowering progressed? Did you not require air cooling or A/C because of colder temps?

That Undercurrent looks sick man! Can't wait to see that baby in use.
