Plumbers Buds - A Catch All

PlumberSoCal2 · Sep 4, 2025

I got the other BBHP out 6 days ago

Leveled out a spot on the hill and she filled it. Only 5.5' tall but bigger around. She's sucking down 4-5 gallons a day.

Her sis

Behind the greenhouse in a mainly shaded area is looking good

I'll have to check dates but I don't think she's been flipped for more than a couple weeks. The Blueberry smell is very strong

Westside Story
Lg plant is Cherry Wine hemp. Next 2x4 section there's 5 GDP x BBHP in solos about 2 months old, 5 Gelato rooted cuts up front. 2 peppers in 1 gal nursery pots and some rooted tomato cuttings cuttings soaking in solos. I need to choose one of the GDP/BBHP to flip soon. I'll up pot a couple this week and hopefully pick one my the weekend. IF the genes came together as I hope this cross could be a winner. We'll see

The next 2x4 section are 8 GDP x Starry Eyed in solos

That have finally caught my attention. All but one has been topped twice. I missed that one when I moved out that beast BBHP to the side of the hill and forgot about the little one for 2 days. Found it all dried out and limp. Ground up a viagra and it's back to normal Naw, just watered it and she's looking healthy again. I did spray them down, front, back and upside down with neem yesterday morning as the aphids were multiplying. This is another cross I really can't wait to try.

Gelato cuts

These 5 need topping. There's 12. Real happy with 90+% All of these will get new shoes in about a week. Love this strain

Gonna have 8 tops after 1st topping. I might try for 32 keeping the cuts after each node. Another cut

in a Kracky bottle. I'll change the water on the 15th and 1st of each month. Gotta keep the water level the same. Too much and the plant can actually drown.

The Mother's Milk mom
is flowering

I'm a huge fan of this strain with its creamy flavor. Mixing it with fruity strains gives you a creamy fruity flavor I was debating flowering this girl or composting her as she's really torn up from getting her out of the greenhouse. She looks pretty good to me

Mother's Milk cuts

4 of 5 need topping

Blueberry Hash Plant cuts

Got 3 of each rooted tomato for fall

Brandywine, red cherry and yellow pair shaped cherry.
Habaneros

3 plants just full. There's also 3 serranos and 2 jalapeños. I make hot sauce for friends and family every year. Couple years ago I did a pretty hot one combining cayenne, serrano, jalapeno and big jim (a mild pepper compared to the others) allowing all ti ripen to red and people still talk about that one. It was too hot for me as will with habanero this years. I prefer a jalapeno/serrano green sauce where the peppers haven't been allowed to dry out which makes white or tan marks on the peppers and that makes them even hotter The ones I grow are well taken care of and not allowed to dry out.

Those pepper plants look awesome! next year is going to be my year for peppers! : )

The roots in kratky set up are incredible!

I've grown them for a bit in Kracky but never to flower. It's time to try

Closest I’ve come to it is being lazy and leaving some cutting in a bucket for like a month!

heck yeah man! would you have to change the water more frequently than the twice a month you do now?

SlingShot · Sep 12, 2025

mmm, homemade hot sauce, nuttin better, I think I'm to stealth grow outdoors this year and the kratky method of a piece of polystyrene floating in a low current creek is my option, ample water, low nutrients, no tending, no footprint, some pluses some minus, we'll see, nothing riding on it.

You can't imagine how many cups I had with cuttings soaking in the greenhouse that i just cleaned up after a couple months Oh yeah, I had a bucket too in there with large cuttings of several strains and mosquitoes breeding in it. I was changing the water twice weekly so the bastards didn't morph but yeah, way too many. Even had a cup with a few of the blood suckers swimming around

I've got 3 bathtubs I'd like to set up and do some micro greens and maybe some floating pot plants. Maybe someday

Cherry Wine hemp 5-31-25

Today

I've taken 12 cuts and I'm gonna take 12 cuts a week for the next few months (years?). I've been trying to find a legal means to make salve w/ THC and sell it but of course the government is against me. Always. So FK 'EM. CBD it is, for now.

Writing a business plan, costs/start up, time, profits, etc. Time to get back in the game after retirement

Last one is Bodhi's Mother's Milk. Half way there

PlumberSoCal2 · Oct 5, 2025

When I went outside yesterday morning

Male GDP x BBHP. I took it as a sign to remove both breeding groups, order some STS spray for reversing females and attempt to make fem seeds of my Cherry Wine hemp and my BBHP. I've been keeping these strains for 4 & 3 years respectively by cloning. So both males will be composted and the females will be given a spot to finish. I have plenty of F1 seeds of both crosses.

GDP x BBHP

I really like this one. 3 weeks since flip and she keeps impressing. This was the only pheno of the 8 that caught my attention and I'll hopefully be able to make some fem seeds of this one.

Blueberry Hashplant
She's a Beast. About 5' tall and 8' across.

Flipped 32 days ago.

My favorite insect was hanging out on my Mother's Milk

she looks ready to lay an egg case. I thought about moving her to an aquarium so I can hatch out the egg case but it'd be more of a hassle then it'd be worth as the young will eat each other so I'll just let nature take its course. I'll move her to the giant BBHP when I harvest this plant

GDP x Starry Eyed

4 females that I need to move out and flip with

3 GDP x BBHP. There also a couple of BBHP cuts in there.

To be continued...

PlumberSoCal2 · Oct 6, 2025

...I took 25 BBHP cuts

as I plan on reversing a female of each, starting with:
Mother's Milk

She's first up

Blueberry Hashplant

I had topped these so I'll give them another week before joining in.

Gelato 33

Granddaddy Purple

And Cherry Wine hemp

The plan is to start spraying this coming Friday, if the STS is delivered on time, with the Mother's Milk. Then I'll add the BBHP 10 days later, then the G33, etc.

I'll also be flipping 2 or more of the females that will recieve the pollen from their respective strain so they'll be ready to recieve it.

I attempted to make fem seeds once before by purchasing the ingredients separately and failed miserably so here's to hoping I can follow directions and getter done

PlumberSoCal2 · Oct 10, 2025

Cherry Wine hemp clone in May

Today

Flipped today on the 10th. She's a 10 weeker so near Christmas she should be ready. She's a beast and I removed 4 lowers before pulling her out and I didn't lose any branches on the trip. She needs new shoes, a 4 gal nursery pot should do it.

I've been taking cuts of her since 9/20

9 of 12 rooted and potted

9/27 I took 22 more

today, 10 more and i placed the 4 branches soaking in a tub of water so I'll be able to take cuts of her for several weeks

PlumberSoCal2 · Oct 16, 2025

No sooner then I get the big plants out of the greenhouse that I fill the space right back up

The Bt spray is working like magic
BBHP

She got hammered by our recent wind and rain but no worse for wear.
All wet after the rain. A few bud worms made it past my defences

but only a few. Sprayed Bt heavy last night. I always laugh when newer growers ask, do you spray it on the buds? Well Skippy, many moths lay their eggs right on the bud. If you don't spray the buds, where the bud worms will attack your plant you're doing it wrong when I see a dried bud like above I reall try and saturate the entire bud as there's a moth larvae in there still eating and the larger the worm the harder they are to kill with Bt or neem oil. Get them small and you'll win the war.

My gun of choice in this battle

1.5 gallons of Bt and 2 qts of neem oil was sprayed last night and with harvest quickly approaching they'll be getting sprayed every 4-5 days. I'm so tired of losing buds to the beasts
