Orcas' Logs

[Orcaman]

Looking good as always, Orcaman. Your carrots are farther along than mine. That backyard garden will be thriving in a week after all this rain.

Always nice to have you drop inUnderthesun, Glad to hear that your mice problems are now under control! I have to say that I'm loving this very cool and wet May so far here.
Yesterday I finally got to up pot and move four plants into 12's. A little out of the perpetual realm lately. Here are the four starting with this Sweet Tooth on it's third run.

Second is our Blue OG on it's third run.

I think this is the fifth run of this Landrace AK

And last is this Blue Cheese. I'll be watching her on this second run because she hermed in the first. We really love her flavor and high so I'm hoping for the best.

And to finish up here are a few shots of our bloom area.

 

[Underthesun]

Nice lineup and rotation you have going. Since I'm only allowed to grow outside of the house these days I'm always jealous of you guys getting new flavors every few weeks and perpetually growing. I think we might be lucky and get to see the sun tomorrow :)

I'm always jealous of you guys getting new flavors every few weeks and perpetually growing

I wish that is was every few weeks! What I have learned with constant growing is forget about time and go with the flow of each plant and let them show you what they want, verses our parental instincts and bogus time frames from the seed banks based on certain conditions. It seems you are getting a very late start here in Colorado. So I hope that time is on your side!:)
This is a very happy day for here. I have to announce that we are proud parents of two female Cherry Bomb Indica's. Both are 51 days old today. These are some very fun looking plants in my opinion! :)
Here is Cherry Bomb #1 who sexed two days back being the bigger girl.

And here is number two being the shorter more robust girl!

I also need to note that both were topped days back and will veg for at least two more weeks.

Happy first Saturday of June. Here is an update on my garden after a two week break. Thank you BudBogart for the great support my green thumbed friend! I really means a lot to me. :)
Lets start with the newbies first being this Rainbow jones now 65 days old and just waiting her turn for room in the bloom area. I have to water these four twice a day right now to keep them in there 4 inch pots in till they move.

Next is this amazing looking Platinum cookies x Blue Doggy Dogg 64 days old also just waiting to move into 12's. I love how blonde this girl is.

Next are these two Cherry Bomb Indica's just looking stellar at 65 days and ready for 12's too!
CB #1

CB #2

And the whole Veg gang together.

I'm running out of time this morning and will update the bloom area this afternoon. I have to go help the wife with a dog event at a park. I hope its a great morning for everyone!

 

[Orcaman]

Well, The day got away from me yesterday to finish my update. It was a fun morning at the Boston Bash. The event raised money for a local Boston Terrier rescue program. I helped my wife with her booth representing Doterra essential oils. These oils are amazing with so many ways to use them.

I really got a kick out of the doggy cake eating contest.

Back to the garden, Besides the four newbies ready to move into 12's I also have two cuttings ready to move too. My long time running Diesel x Packy mix called KWD and this C99 backcross called Higgs Boson. So I have six plants ready to move with only three almost finished in bloom. We will see how well I can deal with this issue.
KWD

Higgs Boson

Lets review the girls under the LED's. These shots were taken yesterday. This morning is feeding day plus time to defoliate, stake, and tie up as needed.

First is this Landrace AK

Blue Cheese

Blue OG

Sweet Tooth

Higgs Boson

These last two will get there second water only flush this morning.
Jaffa Cake

Platinum Cookies x Blue Doggy Dogg

Time To go tend these girls!:)

 

[SpiderK]

everything looks great in your lab orca ..... and the weather looked great for your party, looks like a really fun day with the dogs.

keep up the good work.

 

[Orcaman]

Hey SpiderK, It's really great to hear from you. How is your lab going these days?
I have to say that the time I spent defoliating, staking, and tying up the bloomers yesterday made enough space to move two of the six that are ready for the switch to 12's.

Now when I harvest the cookie and the cake girls in a week I will be able to move the other four forward and back into a better flow.:)

 

[hiiipower]

Man the blue cheese is as wide as she is tall!

Lookin great, you have great consistentency in your garden @Orcaman

 

[Orcaman]

Man the blue cheese is as wide as she is tall!

Always a pleasure to hear from you hiiipower. She was becoming quite the space hog and just fitting though a door way. It was nice to get her tamed! It's an interesting project every four days for feeding. Having to move all of the plants up out of the cellar and into the bathroom tub and then back down.

 

[Welshwizzard]

Just checking in things looking on point in here @Orcaman !

 

[Orcaman]

Good Saturday Welshwizzard, And all of the other great farmers we have here! Finally harvest day for this Platinum Cookies x Blue Doggy Dogg at 72 days today. She is only about 5% amber but I need the space. Thursday was her third and last flush and have to mention that her final defoliation a week ago really helped beef up and harden her lower buds for her sparse stature. I'm still trying to clear the air in the house after cutting her from her wicked smell!:)

Check out this other pheno after a week in 12's. I love the branching and canopy from only one topping on this first run.

Cheers!:)

A good humpday to all. Nice and hot here in Colorado as well as most of the southwest. 102 degrees on Sunday and 101 yesterday. A nice little break today with it forecasted at 85 degrees. A much needed day at home today after a very busy last 7 days with our embroidery business. I also have a very busy bloom area right now. This is the fist time that I have had 11 plants at once in my very small area in the cellar. I took this Jaffa Cake girl at of the cellar four days ago now at 75 days to make space and have yet to cut it in till this afternoon.

Here are these two Cherry Bomb Indica's that went into bloom on last Saturday.

Next is Higgs Boson And mix right at 10 days bloom.

Rainbow Jones 10 days in.

Here is my Diesel x Paki 17 days in

Next is this Platinum Cookie x Blue Doggy Dogg also at 17 days.

Here are the next four at 39 days starting with my last grow of this Landrace AK.

Blue Cheese

Blue OG

 

[Orcaman]

Sorry about the poor posting. It was crazy when I went to make a few edits and would not let me.:) The last two plants were Sweet Tooth and Higgs Boson.

Very beautiful!! Nice work!

 

[Trucker]

Looking good @Orcaman :)

 

[Orcaman]

Hello Diane11, Thank you for the very kind words and nice to have you stop in. My wife needs half of the credit here. Without her keeping a total spread sheet on her computer so we can keep perfect track of each plant, and with feeding schedules growing perpetually. Just too few women on the site!:)
Plus a big hello to Trucker for dropping in, I have to say that some of the coolest truckers I ever met was while working at Denver Peterbilt. I knew one trucker with a 1976 359 conventional that hauled ice cream. The last time I seen him back in 93 he was going on 4 million miles. He always insisted that he would never own another truck in his lifetime!

Thanks GrowGod. You being one of my mentor's here. Your words really mean a lot to me! I love your very clean setup and growing style too. I would really love to work with bigger plants like yours. That was a nice batch of big cuttings that you recently took with ease. It's so hard getting these small cuttings to take.
As far as the background on the Cherry Bomb Indica. Their in not much info on her. You seen and was involved in the "I think" breakup with reeferman and logic that was all deleted.
