Chemistry's persoanl grow.

Nice haul! They look great! Looks like a better trim job than I just did I kept a bit extra on them so they won’t dry too fast my environment is a tad warm but it is what it is lol

Thanks Mike, I only grow for my self or to swap a bud or two with buddies, so I'm not fussed if my buds look little unshaven, so it gets me out of trim jail sooner. lol

That's not a bad return, more than your last run, you should fill those jars with your next run.

Still messing with my grow space at the minute, nearly there. Don't know what to pop next, but one will be the Barney's Mintz, fancied growing one of those for a while, don't know about the others, to scrog or not, watch this space.

Good morning you tokers and growers, how are you all this sunny Saturday morning, hope you're all well. Got the harvest into three two and a half gallon buckets to cure, so I'll give it a month to cure and settle down, then it will be transferred to glass jars to store the cured buds. Didn't do bad in the end, even with the mould, which took out two tops on each plant, only downside is its the main or biggest cola's it takes. I have around one and a half gallons from each plant, so four and a half gallons in all, don't know what it all weighs as I gave up on going by weight years ago, and now only gauge my success in gallons in photo form, this stops me weight chasing, and the disappointment of not making a certain weight, peeves me when I lose some bud to mould, never mind a human mistake. I've had a quick toke on all three strains, all do the job, but the Chocolate Skunk has it in the bag in this line up, and takes top spot in the toking stakes, deep and earthy, with sweety sort of taste, and flower bed smell, don't get me wrong the others do the job, but the Chocolate Skunk just has that extra some thing the other two have not, maybe a personal thing, and I just like this strain more, but its in front, and will most likely be smoked first. The Amnesia Lemon is nice toke, very lemony compared to last time, but I put this down to me growing a better specimen than last time. Very lemony taste if anyone is looking for a good lemon, to either smoke or a cross for some one looking for a strong lemon influence. The Franco's is as good a toke as the other two, but lacks taste and smell, not a strain you could walk into a smokey room and pick out like the other two, but it does produce some weight, good strong stems, would do well outdoors as it likes some space to grow in, last time I grew it, it grew into my shade, 600watt bulb, an inch away, did no damage to the plant, so a tough specimen, I would have loved to plant one outdoors and let it go, but my new next doors are a little anti weed, hence no outdoor Auto this year, ah well. Got the ventilation sorted, or at least ready for this run. I've extended the intake vent slots from a third of the length of my grow space, to full length, so if I made it last run with a third ventilation, this time I should breeze it. lol We'll see how it works, think I've enough air this time. Pic time, and no orange ones.

Amnesia Lemon.




Franco's Lemon Cheese.




Chocolate Skunk.




Adjustments to the ventilation. If you look at the intake on the left, this was only a third of the way across the wall, now it is the full length. On the right hand side you can see the black mesh, this is where the air enters my grow space, the fresh intake air is then blown over and through my plants. I have three white plastic vents which each have a paper filter covering them, got the idea from her indoors kitchen extractor over the hob, you can buy the filters at your local hardware store, or on line. In the pic, just finished first coat of paint, waiting for it to dry for the second coat.


And that's where we are at the moment, hoping to get up and running this week some time, then next week get some seeds chosen and planted. Think that's this grow finished and signed off. Have to say, this grow has been and easy one, could have done with out the mould, still ended up with four and a half gallons, and some hash trim, so not worried at all. So if you've followed my last grow and still crave more, then join us next week and see if I've managed to pick out some seeds to grow, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers at the Farm, how are you all this morning, hope your all fine and well. Had a couple of hours yesterday evening, so grabbed a beer and a bud and whipped out the seed box, bought in some new strains, new to me anyway. Due to the 19 it was a little harder to find some thing that I wanted to grow, every time I hit the move to basket button it came up out of stock, so we now know what the good folk were doing during the lockdowns. But, in the end I got what I was looking for, in the shape of Barney's Biscotti Mintz (https://www.barneysfarm.com/biscotti-mintz-555), probably a rubbish strain, but I liked the pics I'd seen on the net, they looked uniform in structure, even on the other lesser grow sites, which I'm not a member of, as I only inhabit the Farm, and is there a better site? Anyway, on a number of sites the plant looked the same, and as I quite like Barney's stuff I pushed on with my quest, and eventually found a pack of three fems, quest part one completed, quest part two, can I grow a nice plant from the seeds, only one way to find out, first seed picked. Next up is Delinquent OG (https://www.seed-city.com/bc-bud-depot/delinquent-og) Named after world famous rap band Delinquent Habits, not that I'm into Rap as I'm an out and out rocker, nothing against rap or rappers, just not my scene. This was my third choice, got the point of brain fog looking at pics and reading about strains and crosses, and just fancied these seeds due to the amount of hype around the rappers, I like things with a story behind them. So my second choice was another dark leafed strain called Dark Pheonix (https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/dark-phoenix/), got a thing about dark strains this run. So there's my line up for this run, if they all pop this should be a good grow. Anyone for MH pics.

Biscotti Mintz.








Delinquent OG.






Dark Pheonix.






Don't know about you folks, but I like the packaging on some seeds, some seed vendors go out of their way to create mini artworks, future historic seed packs fetching thousands on Ebay, or anonymous future super rich buying from rich auction houses, you never know, a bit like iconic vinyl album covers have become wall hangings. You just never know. So that's me on my way, give it a week and we'll see what pops, and what bombs out, fingers crossed for a three out of three, fresh stock, should happen. Got sorted faster than I thought I would (under pressure from other seed poppers ) didn't think I'd get planted up before Monday evening, so in front for a change. So hopefully by next week we'll have some lanky seedlings to post, with or without crutches, three would be nice. And that is where we're at, the fuse is fizzing, if you want to know how big the bang was, then pop back next week and see after the dust settles, until then, you know the score, just keep tokin folks.

I have heard of the Barney's Farm Mintz strain, the others not so much, you did step up your game and get it in the hydroton and root riot, I just been putting in a glass of H2O with a cap full of hydrogen peroxide. I think my seeds are old I am trying to pop. Good luck and now I am chasing you, may pop more bagseed to get going again,Cheers SS

He's pulled his fnger out SS and gotten ahead of us but we will wind him in

I've no doubt you'll catch up, was looking for poppers this morning, but no turtle shells to be seen, maybe tomorrow, love seed poppin.

Good morning tokers and growers, hope your all well and your trees are tall and green. Had a rarity, three out of three poppers, yeee haaa. All three seeds popped mid week, two were fine, one was a bit squirrely on take off, and that was the Dark Pheonix, dark by name, dark by nature. The other two, the Mintz and Delinquent are fine, and I have to say, the cheapest seeds were the delinquent's, and it popped the best, even flung the husk off, the other two left the husk in the cubes, so three out of three poppers from three different strains, is this an omen. Due to planting three seeds this time, I've gone for a triangle planting arrangement to give the plants maximum space to spread, or all the space I have. I put the Dark Pheonix at the back, as it claims to be the tallest of the bunch, followed by the Biscotti Mintz, and the Delinquent which is the smallest, this is going by the breeders description on the sites I bought the seeds from, but as growers, we take this with a pinch of salt, we'll see. Let look at the poppers.

Dark Phoenix. Took pics of this weird seed growth over the last week, last pic was this morning, have to say the last pic looks like phoenix with its wings out, rise of the phoenix.










Biscotti Mintz. Don't know if I've said, but been after growing one of these for ages.








Delinquent OG.






Group Shot.


Here we go again, the marathon starts. Looking at the group shot, I can see that the Dark Phoenix will need a crutch by next week due to its strange growing features, unless it grows more roots to allow for the strange way it emerged. So there you are folks, new run is off the ground, will the Phoenix need a crutch, or will they all need one (again)? Pop back next week and find out, until then, just keep tokin folks.

You will just throw some more hydroton around them wont you chem? My girls in new diary are stretching like all buggery too mate..more than the usual..whats your ppm for the youngins.. i start at 90-120ppm .

Yes, when the stems get a bit stronger I'll top them up, its to easy to damage the stems on fresh sprouters. It does settle a little bit due to watering them, it levels out the medium. Just water and cannazyme until the seedlings show me different, because no matter how good you flush these clay mediums for re-use, there's always a residual amount of nuits left in it, to low to grow a plant, but it suits seedlings down to the ground.

Ahh.i see now ..the race is on..first time we have had our girls up near same time

C'mon SS, we're off.

I am popping in water & placing in paper towel and poppin more today. Cheers SS

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all this fine morning, BBQ weather here today, been hot as hell lately here, had a couple of houses burn down in the next village along with grass fires due to the heat, 110f (43.3) in the shade, tarmac roads were melting. Its been said that the house fires were started in lofts, I think we can guess why, was contemplating whether to turn my grow off or not until the heat wave passed, good job I put in the uprated ventilation, think I dropped very lucky with my timing. The seedlings did ok in the heat, I was expecting them to flop in the heat, but like my tomato's they just ate it up, so week two of veg behind us, we're now purring along at a steady 26c.

Apart from the heat there's no problems to report, yet. Right, onto pics then.

Dark Phoenix.




Biscotti Mintz.




Delinquent OG.




Group Shot. If you look at the seedlings in the group shot, you can see all three seedlings are slightly different in leaf shape, the Dark Phoenix has pointy leaves, while the Biscotti Mintz has roundish leaves with more of an indica look, and the Delinquent OG has both traits, we'll see if they carry these individual traits as the grow on, would be nice.


A bit hot.


And that's where we are at the minute, shame about the ugly growth of the Dark Phoenix, hoping its just an early growth thing and it will grow out later, a wait and see job. Anyway, that's all there is to report, shame about my outdoor auto this year, would have done really well in this heat wave, plenty of sun and good evening temps, but in a country where growing is frowned upon, you have to play ball, or we all know what happens. So, will the Dark Phoenix become any weirder, want to find out, then pop back next week and find out, until next week, just keep tokin folks.

PS. Dont know what happend to my post, it loaded before I'd finished writing it. lol
