Plumber's First Coco Grow

[PlumberSoCal]

After a fall harvest of seedy bud I'm really enjoying this winter seedless. Not one seed, not even on the two that threw balls before the flip. Weird but nice.

I decarbed a gram of kief, wrapped it in a coffee filter, tossed it in a jar and added 190 proof alcohol. I usually use 2-4 grams of bud per oz of alcohol. I'll make more and then make some ejuice.

While I'm disappointed with the overall amount of flower at least I'm harvesting and not having to purchase. These plants were in flower over 3 months and in fall would have produced at least triple the weight but the flower I got is very good so can't complain too much.

I was cleaning my weed drawers yesterday afternoon and found some wax and half a gram of Amnesia Haze. Not much wax but the neighbor and I got hammered last night and there's plenty for tonight. Score!

New phone should be arriving tomorrow. Very tired of typing on this shattered screen. Hard to read on it as well and no pictures suck. I'm really hard on phones and will keep the new on in a case

Still waiting on seeds to pop. 24 planted and nothing yet. My main goal this week is to get the snap peas and lettuce seedlings off my try, charge several pounds of coco and get ready for the next batch. Can't wait!

Lite schedule today. Repipe estimate and then lunch at Fat Ivers.
http://www.fativors.com/
It's a rib joint in Valley Center we love. They have a bacon burger, fries & salad for $9.50. One of the best burgers anywhere.

Time to get motivated and get a few things done before I have to jet.

Happy Growing!

Used to eat at FatIvers when we take our kids to the zoo and seaworld/marineworld, havent been there in over 20 years but the meat was memorable(rack of ribs),memorable also as I dont eat beef/pork anymore.

No beef or pork? Like ever?

Seriously, I've watched my folks and mother-in-law die. All took good care of themselves WHEN they got "older" other than my mother-in-law. She went in 2 months. Horrible as it was mine went in frickin years. Old man lasted 3 plus fricking years after his body was paralyzed from a stroke. That's what really killed him, eventually. I've watched too many go. Trust me, when the time comes you want it to come right now, not in 2, 3, 5 months or years. I got a do not resuscitate order. I don't wanna be a veggie let alone eat too many

But hey, I get it. We want to live forever and we have family depending on us being there for them, those selfish bastards

Okay, changed phones and couldn't remember password and couldn't get the reset email. I hate email so new account but same old asshole

This one needs to be chopped soon

but I enjoyed the results of the extended flowing time on these last fall so maybe a little longer. More body high, better pain relief.

Spring weather here is bringing out the birds and lizards

2020's King of the Patio. He and the sparrows will be eating worms out of my hand in a few weeks/months.

Foot long alligator lizard ran past me a couple days ago. No pic, he was moving too fast but this beauty posed for me

I didn't know we had a large species here as I've only seen small ones.

Seeds be a poppin'

2 Ground Pounders, 2 Darth Vaders and 6 Chemgophers, 5 in rockwood and one who's tap root grew all around above the wool

Good long tap should produce a strong root system.

GDP male

GDP female

Seeds popped 1st of Nov. Vegging for 4 months. I'll take clones before lights out and move her to flower in the big greenhouse in a few days.

Really looking forward to tasting this one. Haven't had GDP in a couple years but will be producing seed!

Kratky doing well

Toy Choi

Black Seed Simpson lettuce

Ready to start harvesting. Sandwiches for lunch and salad with dinner.

Brussels sprouts and broccoli

This one is very cool

Thai basel served on Pho in a restaurant several weeks ago. Starting to root

and currently flowering. I'll clip the flowers and hope to clone it as I haven't been able to find seeds this year.

Pest control experts are doing their jobs

Natural predators, gotta love 'em.

Lots to do today like trimming and jarring. I will be making more hash but will wait until all winter crops are harvested and dried. 7 more to go.

Happy Growing!

Look at the colors on this!

So yesterday I'm planting seedlings and cleaning out baskets and find this

A snap pea seedling that wasn't growing well. Now I know why. I've placed this in a cup with a loose fitting lid and will monitor to see what type of bug I've got.

Growing outside there's so many bugs that can attack and negatively effect plants.

More GDP clones

A GDP Kratky clone

Chemgopher Kratky seedlings

Tried this a few months ago but mice/rats ate them all. Seriously doubt they'll grow well after the first month but we'll see.

Rain all frickin week and maybe 2 weeks. I still have 2 adults out in it but will take them down in a day or two and 5 under cover in the tomato stand. With the new seedlings and clones I don't have room to put the adults back into the greenhouse so they'll have to survive the weather.

7 more plants to harvest and my first winter outdoor grow ends. I seriously doubt I'll try planting this late in the year (never say never) as the buds never fully filled out due to the lack of light and the cold. Smoke is good and the kief/hash excellent not to mention all the colors but after 6-7 months I should be sitting on several pounds of flower.

I'll be flipping the female GDP in the next few days. Sure hope she doesn't take 3+ months to finish like the gophers.

Time for work, Happy Growing!

From those eggs those look like they're going to be a pretty big bug?!

I would think cut worms. I'll spray everything with BT when I get home. No big deal for adult plants but seedlings will disappear and my tray is full of seedling of several varieties.

pssst.... i need a crack slinger!

socal.... check pm in a bit?... let's get loco...

yeah... let's get weird n make Gotham, a better place;D .

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

Took a dozen clones

from the GDP female

I think I'll leave her for another week and take another dozen.

The male

Should be producing balls within days.

Darth Vaders went into pots

As well as a Ground Pounder

I missed having seedlings.

More getting close

Happy Growing!

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

Took the last of the Aug/Sept planting

5 left of Sept/Oct planting

Rain for a week plus in the forecast so they'll be coming down this week. Would have loved a few weeks of sun to finish.

GDP female is still waiting for to be moved/flipped.

Can't wait to try this girl.

Her boyfriend

He's a looker

Kratky, Chemgopher

Why not?

Even a Kratky GDP clone

Transplanted seedlings

Ground Pounder, 2 Darth Vader's and a Chemgopher up front.

This winter grow was a challenge but worth the effort. Flowers never fattened, lack of light during flowering as well as the cold, which did give them some nice colors. Better yet I haven't been to a dispensary since June last year.

So while this grow winds down the GDP's that survived my Oct/Nov planting should produce a few hundred seeds. All the clones that survive will be flipped in April to make room for the summer planting and supply some smoke.

Hoping for a banner year!

Happy Growing!

So much going on. Love this thread!

The Love Birds

They've got the west side of the greenhouse for the next 5-6 weeks, by then the weather should be nice and I'll move her outside and chop him and harvest pollen. I'll bleach the greenhouse after.

Check this out

3 flowers so far. Amazing.

Thai basil

Served with Pho and I brought it home. I clipped the flowers and now awaiting a few nodes so I can top it and start more. Ya ever get plants to grow off your plate? Yeah, me neither.

It's well rooted

Harvested the toy Choi for dinner last night

Good stuff. Wondering if it will branch off and continue to grow? Hope so.

Loquats soon

Last year I kept a pair under the Loquat tree making seeds, and I love loquats.

Ants are back in the big greenhouse

Bastards. I'll refresh the borax traps. Kept them out for about a month.

1 yr old pomegranate

Great Job..........

 

[visajoe1]

I figured on boxing up everything and having a friend ship it then renting a 20' van with out of state plates to move what we keep. We'll sell the cars. Maybe 2 or 3 boxes and seeds in each box and ship them separate. Something to think about.

consider a moving company
