A grow diary.

[MIMedGrower]

Hazey blazed! I like it! Im kinda hazey blazed now on some Black widow x Blue lemon thai. The buds were like pure sativa in structure. But a bland tasting hazey white widow pheno. Almost mild n minty yet peppery sort of. But with a dab strength rush after a toke.

:-)

 

[Kanzeon]

Yeah, this Siberian Haze is no joke! I was grumpy about it because of the low yield, but not to the point where I tossed the clone. Now I'm legit glad it's still around. It might need to get crossed with Herijuana...

Like, the insides of my nostrils are pulsating. It's potent. But there's like no body high.

 

[Kanzeon]

The three female keeper phenos of Uzi Pane Killer. The third one is actually towered over in the background by the Uzbekistan.

Here's the flower room! The thickening colas to the right are Uzbekistan, Uzi Pane Killer, and C-vibez. Flipped and defoliated the Lemon OG Kush up front.

This other Northern Afghan Mix male is going nuts! It'll be referred to as Baba Kuma because it's an acronym for Balochistan, Balkh, Kunduz, and Mazar, which is where they're from and I'm treating them all essentially as the same strain. Afghan Mix doesn't really have the same ring to it. Baba Kuma sounds like an old dude that you want to smoke hash and talk philosophy with.

I'm actually at the point now where I haven't dropped anything new in a few weeks. The SCDK, 88G13HP, RSC Iranian, and a Super Lemon Haze x Jack Herer are also in there until they differentiate.

Here's veg! A bunch of these are going to be screaming at me to flip them in a couple weeks. The second G13 Haze plant grew 4 inches this week, the Purple Wreck is blowing up, Nepalma grows incredibly fast. It's literal months ahead of some of the plants in here.

Look who's getting less bad at cloning!! Though TBH I think I'm going to clone in 100% coco instead of the mix just for ease and lack of bugs.

And a sorta okay closer up shot of the Cvibez. Ugh, I even hate typing that.

 

[Kanzeon]

Veg is looking good! About half of these coulld be flipped if I had the space, but I'll be training these until I do. There are 6-7 plants ready to be transplanted to the bottom left and more on the way from the seedling closet, so it's actually going to be a minute before I can drop any more seeds.

That Blueberry-bei up front is starting to look less pathetic, the Uzi Pane Killers are all looking very solid and chonking up, The smaller plants here that didn't stretch that much will be the first ones taken out to be replaced by the monsters that are in veg now. Gave everything the epsom salt/micronized sulfur spray last night, though at this point it's purely preventative since I haven't seen PM in that room in months. I'd hate for the Col'Jams in there to be finishing up in December/January to get hit with PM.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with things. Sure, some of the buds could be bigger and the leaves could be greener on some of these, but for 16 months of growing and constant new strains going, I can't judge myself too hard.

Ok bro,I like the strain and pheno hunting you have going on here.i just found your journal here.If ur interested in checking my current grow journal here it's called
Og gsc.bluedream, scrog.
I know,I was high, hahahaha.happy growing to you bro

 

[Kanzeon]

Thanks man! I'll check it out!

Looks like this Lemon Citron cut is gonna be some fire!

And an Uzi Pane Kliller, just because.

Baba Kuma has some long pistils. I'm a fan.

The flower room, with new additions Lemon OG Kush, Lambsbreath x AK-49, Nepalma, and Moonglow.Turned the seedling closet into a flower room rejected plants closet with some assorted runts and odds and ends.

And veg, which is becoming more feral by the day. This month is gonna have some significantly larger plants coming into flower than before. I'm hoping that plus the raised canopy they create will give me some better yields than I've been pulling from these last few plants. The Reserva Privada Purple Wreck (far right, second from bottom) is so sexually frustrated. She's throwing pistils for the first, like, 8 inches of each top.

Almost cleared the logjam of ready to re-pot females. A couple more Nepalmas, a Sannie's Jack, and a Herijuana are all that remain besides that one tall Ukhrul female. Thinking I'm going to do a defoliate day here pretty soon, as well as a detail cleaning of the flower room.

All in all, life is good. Thanks, as always, for following along!

 

[Kanzeon]

Did a mass defoliation on the ladies in flower, cleaned the flower room with Simple Green D Pro 3, and then reorganized the room to where I could fit another plant in there. C99 x Durban-Thai got the spot.

Now I can't get all of the plants in there in one shot. The rear row is about where I'm going to shoot to have the canopy, about 5-6 inches higher than it has been. G13 Haze (center) and Lemon OG Kush on the left look like they're going to be stretching for a bit still, with the Col'Jam on the right being months away still.

The Col'Jams are in the corners. The plant in the center that's in the very early stages of flowering is one of the Lambsbread x AK-49.

When I feel bad throwing a plant away but it's not living up to what I need it to be in the other room, now there's the closet of shame-flowering! Anything I get off of these is just bonus bud.

Veg is still exploding. I did some defoliation there too, but more needs to happen. The clone area is on the right, with the back two rooted. Looks like I'm at least a couple weeks away from being able to chop anything, so almost everything is getting supercropped and topped like crazy in the meantime.

Dropped the first new seeds in a long time today. All fems, since the seedling closet is out of commission for a bit.

Nirvana's Hawaii Maui Waui, it's likely been outcrossed but the smoke is said to be good. Also, Humboldt's Three Blue Kings again, since it was a fantastic smoke.

Also threw down the last of the Cheeselicious freebees from way back. I've been feeling cheesy lately, might end up looking for a super cheesy strain later this year.

I've only got 5 confirmed females left in the small pots. with the 88G13HP. Iranian, and Sky Cuddler Double Kush differentiating soon.

Now this is starting to look like a decent flower room. Love how the G13 Haze has taken over the back row, dwarfing what was until recently the next tallest plant in there (the Uzi to its right)

Here, the back row is the Lemon OG Kush in the back left, a UPK, the G13 Haze, another UPK, the Uzi, and Col'Jam.

This Lemon Citron plant is looking like it has potential. Actually just planted a rooted clone of this plant yesterday,

And the (White Widow x Herijuana) x Thai. Looks like it'll be done in a week or two.

I'm feeling good with the stable of G13 Haze, G13 Hashplant, C99, UPK, Herijuana. Silverfields, Siberian Haze, Nepalma, Moonglow, etc. Nice wide variety of terps and effects there, with all kinds of potential for fun crosses. Got some new fun stuff in the works, too.

Good times.

I did maui from ilgm and it was great. i am curious about the nirvana version....he apparently got the genetics a long time ago.

You really do have a huge stable!

I came across this article from @agseedco a while back that explains it far better than I can.

Powdery Mildew

The Mystery Behind Powdery Mildew By: Todd McCormick (Originally published in Grow Magazine 2019) Unfortunately, powdery mildew really is a mystery to science and many growers, some believe PM a systemic pathogen that permeates via the plant’s vascular system, others believe is it superficial...

agseedco.com

"I would make the comparison to trying to grow a cannabis plant in too dry of an environment, as the same as trying to drive a car across a desert with just water and no antifreeze/coolant in the radiator, you may make it, but it's way more prone to overheat, and while you plant may make it through a dry environment, it's more than likely to have problems associated with lack of humidity.


Powdery mildew mostly attacks plants in dry environmental conditions, even if the plant is in a greenhouse or outside, depending on the environmental conditions leading up to the infestation of powdery mildew, I would now blame it on mother nature giving you add dryer condition than you expected and your plants suffering. I'll be the first person to admit that for a long time I really didn't take minimum humidity requirements into consideration, and I inadvertently dried the wax off of the leafs inadvertently."

This was a huge part of my issue with PM last winter, I think. I had a dehumidifier that kept the room under 55% rh, and it still attacked the plants like a savage until I started spraying micronized sulfur. There haven't been any signs of PM since getting that humidifier, that room stays between 75-80 degrees all the time, with 60-70% humidity, and I haven't seen PM in months.

Grabs notebook scribbles down micronised sulphur.......

I finally, finally got to the bottom of why the fungus gnats never died. There's been a hot water pipe leaking behind one of the walls, likely for the entire time I've been living here. Just pulled off the walls to take a look and they were covered with black and white fluffy molds. Like. completely. My weekend was spent taking them out and blasting that area with green soap repeatedly

And of course those walls border the closets that I was using for the males and the rejects. So no matter what, those plants had fungus gnats attacking them because they lived in the walls en masse. They were likely in the peat as well, but they had a LOT of room to breed and live behind those walls. That's why the seedlings would get hit even if the soil was clean going in.

The next punch to roll with is where to put the males while I pull out that wall, then the cheapest way to convert that space into another grow area. Thinking about a setup like @Aqua Man with the insulated walls (what was that material called again?), but there's a long way to go.

 

[Kanzeon]

Oh! Also wanted to update the VEG ONLY foliar.

In a blender jar, mix:
10g neem oil
15g Dr. Bronner's soap (peppermint is easiest to find)
10 drops tea tree essential oil

Then blend in:
5 cloves
1 clove garlic
2 grams hot pepper seeds (I use the super hot ones that I grow)
800g warm (130ish degrees) water


And then run it on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. Let it cool down to around 100 degrees and mist all the plant surfaces at lights out.

Now that I realize that there was a constant source of warm humidity the size of a Manhattan apartment near the plants, I'm actually pretty pleased at how it repels them.

 

[Kanzeon]

Things are just humming right along now that the leak has been handled. There are a few fungus gnat fliers around, but I haven't seen a thrip in a few days at least. The rooting clones are on the right, the females and males that are waiting to be up-potted are on the left. So far, the Sky Cuddler Double Kush has gone 7/10, with 5 females and two undecided. One of the Killer Queens is a male, I'll see if he's worth keeping around just to chuck pollen.

There's a huge difference between the two female phenos of Orient Express. One is more viney and wandering, I'm guessing that it leans towards Vietnam Black and the top one leans Yunnan.

Now it's down to 9 undifferentiated regs. I might just end up using that spot for seedlings with how well they grow in there. 3 88G13HP, 3 Iranian, a Killer Queen, and the last 2 Sky Cuddlers. Hoping I get at least one male, but I'm happy to clone and chuck pollen.

Looks like raising the canopy in the flower room was a good idea. Lemon OG Kush, UPK, G13 Haze that's taking over, Lambsbreath x AK-49, Uzi F2, and Col'Jam in the back row.

The other corner, with Col'Jam, the other Lambsbreath x AK-49, Black Afghani, and Moscow Blueberry in the far right row,

Still a lot of refining to do, but that's a clear improvement.

UPK's:

And (White widow x Herijuana) x Thai. I'd be tempted to reveg it, but with Herijuana already running and a number of SE Asian sativas in the mix I feel like it's a bit redundant.

 

[Kanzeon]

Okay, the trichomes on this Cvibez are pretty impressive.

The canopy raise is going well. Almost too well. Gonna have to do a lot of plant rotating to make sure the shorter ladies in here get enough sun. But then again, that's what the midget closet is for. G13 Haze (6 tops, in the middle towards the back), Lemon OG Kush (back corner), and Moonglow (second from top and second from left) are the three tallest plants, dwarfing the Uzbekistan (back row second from right), which was previously the tallest plant in the room. With the multiple Nepalmas in there as well as the many stretchy bitches getting ready to get flipped, it'll get thick in there in a hurry.

C99 x Durban-Thai, Black Afghani with the yellowing leaves, G13 Blueberry Headband, and Baba Kuma thickening up in the corner. I've been impressed at how she's performed, given that she's a pure landrace, but as always the potency and terp profile will determine whether or not she's a keeper.

This picture gives a better sense of the scale with which the G13 Haze towers over everything. Very happy to have a rooted clone of that bitch to chuck pollen at.

Moonglow, a bit closer up. 7 or 8 tops on her after the very brief revegging. Even the fan leaves at this point smell like an old lawnmower.

Baba Kuma, closer up.

And the ever-expanding jungle that is veg. I've only got that one Cvibez that's a week out from being cut, so it's only gonna get junglier in here.

The males and females that can't be repotted yet are on the left. The clones (C99xDT, G13 Haze, and 2 Lemon Citron rooted in the back on the right. I've got those two female Ukhruls hanging out under this veg light until I figure out what I'm going to do with them. I miiiiight try to do a horizontal flower with them.
