Hey Everyone....
I'm pretty new here at THC farmer, was a lurker for many years and not new to cannabis forums, just this one :) You may have even heard of me or saw me before as I have been a led tester in the past for quite a few companies and now I'm just working on my own garden, making feminized seeds of all of my strains, and sharing the experience with others as I learn more and more.
I work in the industry professionally as well, so I'm quite up on whats going on, laws, regs, trends and all and love everything about cannabis and have for over 2 decades. I've only grown for probably about 6 or 7 years max, and still have a ton to learn but still love teaching what I know, especially about plant lighting.
Anyhow I invite all of you to join me in my everything journal, as we make feminized seeds, and hybrid crosses, as I run through different grows for personal meds, as well as discuss new and important things that I come across in the industry, at least here in cali...
Well Everyone Join in the fun and lets get this thing started!!!
and please no trolling or any negative vibes... lets enjoy what we all love peacfully and with respect :) one love!
Here are the grow journal details and specs:
What strain is it?
All of my strains are from clones, not seeds. I've run most of them numerous times and know that they represent the true cali versions of these cultivars.
I will be using a trainwreck female to spray with colloidal silver (50ppm) to reverse and make pollen to not only self and make S1's, but also will be crossed with some of the strains below. The rest of the cultivarss will be used in future projects or flowered out for personal meds.
All of the following cultivars will be crossed using the Trainwreck Pollen
Tangie Lineage: California Orange (Cali O) x [Skunk #1 x Unknown] Sativa Dominiant
***I will be running my 2 favorite phentypes from my pheno hunt a few grows back, pheno 5 and 3
Harlequin Lineage: Columbian Gold 70s x Thailand x Swizerland x Nepal
Black Cherry Soda: (nobody really knows the exact lineage of this strain as far as I know, but I was hinted towards it being possibly Airborne G13 X Ortega x C99 x Blackberry x Cherry AK-47 – 20% Indica/80% Sativa")
Mendo Grape Kush: Mendo Purps x O.G. Kush x Grapefruit
Trainwreck: Mexican (Sativa), Thai (Sativa), Afghani (Indica)
Gorilla Glue #4: Sour Dubb x Chemdog's Sister x Chocolate Diesel
Ogiesel (SFV OG x Chemdog x Mass Super Skunk)
Also Cultivars I have on hand that will be in this journal, but not part of the current seed project are:
Grand Daddy Purple (kens): Purple Urkle x Big Bud (commonly known as, however Kens description of the lineage is different. I've dug around it it seems that there are a few different claimed origins of GDP but this one is the real deal that I tasted back circa 2001-2002 with that unique grape/lavender type flavor that GDP is known for. Not sure what the original genetics are as I haven't seen a true unique story verified.
Skywalker OG: Based on rumor this strain has a few different origins, there is a Skywalker (blueberry x mazar) x OG kush which I think some call the fake version. This is not what I have. There is also a more sativa dom one that is in clone form on the west coast said to be OG kush x sour diesel andbased on phylos galaxy it appears to be in close relation between dogwalker og and sour diesel which I believe may be the parents. This strain has a lot of OG influence so very excited to have it again (ran it before and lost it) and I can tell it has the traditional OG kush structure.
Private Reserve OG: I'm extremely excited to have a cut of Private Reserve OG which supposedly from what I have read is a stabilized OG cut from Ogrnkid and when I look at the phylos galaxy it shows it is very far out in the og area, and has very little genetic variation which is true to the story. I can't wait to have some S'1s of this for keeping that traditional OG flavor around for years from now as well as breeding it with other strains I have in hopes to possibly get some hybrid vigor out of it being stabilized and hitting it with other fairly inbred strains.
Tangie #3 is one of 2 tangie phenos I have from a phenotype hunt I did about 2 years ago. Both phenos have a very strong and pungent orange rind/citrus/tangerine smell to them mixed with almost a spicy garlic and very very potent but pheno 3 has a very low leaf to bud ratio where pheno #5 has more leaves and a more sativa dom structure
Indoor or outdoor?
Indoors.
Grow Area Description and equipment
Each grow tent is a Hydrohut silver edition 2x4' tent. Actual measurements are larger and each tent measures approx 2.5'x5'x7'. Each tent is equipped with a large carbon filter (Can-filter), 6" fan on a manual variable speed controller. Intake air is sucked into the tent by the negative pressure and let in the lower portion of the tent on each side. Also the flowering tent is equipped with 2 circulation fans...one on an intake hose at ground level, and the other on the roof of the tent blowing downwards. The lights are LED's and I am running in the flowering tent 3x budmaster hybrid god/cob LEDs that I swapped out modules to mix the spectrum, and in my seed project tent I am using the Budmaster HPS-6 LEDs.
Is it aircooled?
The lights are cooled by individual fans to disperse the heat given off by the lights. A pin style heat sink is used on each module. The case has plenty of holes and openings for ventilation.
The tent is cooled by a 6" hydrofarm fan hooked to a large carbon scrubber mounted at the top of my grow tent.
Soil or Hydro?
Soil.... Its a mix of a newer mixture of soil and some old 3+ year old soil which is re amended as needed.
If soil... what is in your mix?
The basic ingredients/additives are below
The Base Soil Mix:
ProMix HP 4 parts
Worm Castings 1 part
Ocean Forest 1 part
Coco Coir 2 parts
Charcoal
Volcanic pumice
Perlite
The Amendments:
Basalt micronized powder
Calcium Carbonate Powder 97%
Soft Rock Phosphate (Collidal Clay with high phosphorus and CEC value)
Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
Kelp Meal (also has growth hormones and PGR's, plus trace minerals)
Powdered Humic Acid (Adds Carbons to the soil as well as trace minerals and aids in chelation of minerals)
Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate)
If soil... What size pot?
For this grow I will be keeping the plants in 3 gallon round pots for the entire grow, which means I will have to water frequently and heavily bottle feed.
Temp of Room/cab?
usually my ambient temps stay between 75F-85F (during the current summer months the upper portion of the tent can reach 93F while the canopy stays roughly 85F.
RH of Room/cab?
my RH typically stays right around 50% but sometimes (rarely) the winds come off the desert and dry the RH down to 10% or less. Usually in the winter months of October, November, December and January we see a lot of offshore breezes and low humidity.
PH of media or res?
I don't check PH of the soil, and usually don't check the feedings either, but sometimes I will verify its around 6-6.5.
Any Pests ?
No pests at all
I do use a few preventative measures to make sure it stays this way..
I grow high brix, so typically pests don't go for high brix plants.
I spray in veg with spinosad which pretty much prevents any pests from wanting to breed
I use yucca extract in soil and foliar sprays which also seems to be a great pest deterrent.
How often are you watering?
This depends on the portion of the cycle I am in, but typically I water about 1x per week in early veg, in late veg about 1x every 3-4 days, In early flowering about 1x every 3-4 days, late flowering about 1x per 5-6 days.
Type and strength of ferts used?
All nutrients and pest products used are 100% certified OMRI organic with the exception of my silicone additives (armor SI and bulletproof SI)
My main nutrients (bottled): (all organic/natural)
Earthjuice: Grow, Bloom, Meta K, Microblast, Catalyst
Humboldt nutrients: bloom, equilibrium, humic acid, deuce deuce
Thrive alive B1 organic
Yucca Extract
Other nutrients on hand include and may be used:
occasional additive:
Advanced Nutrients: carboload, organic b, fulvic acid
General Organics: hydrolyzed squid, florablend tea,
Bonide: liquid fish 2-4-0...love this stuff!
Armor SI (potassium silicate) (non organic)
Bulletproof SI (silicone dioxide) (non organic)
I hope you all can join along, have fun, learn and enjoy this seed project as we create tons of new strains and have fun with growing!
Enjoy everyone!!!
Please note that I plan on this being an ongoing journal with many projects so things will change over time as well as the above nutrients, strains and details.
