Shady’s Natural Selection… Round 4: More Strains & Growing Pains

[LEBDOG]

Casey Jones?

Is that Casey Jones inspired at all by RJ's legendary grow?

Church Baby (I don't even know what that means)!

Leb Out!

Wow Shady. Every thing looks dialed to the dot. Great job man, guess that 3x hand watering per day really pain off ehh.

ROG is looking mighty fine man, as always the Master Bubba is looking fat, her leaves are really wonderful.

Damn the Casey is looking pretty tall. Lets see if your supercropping helps slow the vertical growth. Now if I really need to slow the vertical I supercrop it at two spots, a few nodes and 1 day apart from each other.

 

[Socachi]

Shady all the girls are looking good my man. You're really gonna like the smell of the ROG when she gets goin. Show more on your manifold when you set it up

ROG Stink

Get ready, and once you've gotten ready, get ready again. The stink of the ROG is wicked (and I'm not from Mass)! I can't wait to see your response to ROG. Now it didn't help things that I had 12+ at a time going, but you are in for a stink, I mean treat!

Thx for the very kind words HT! I truly appreciate all of the assistance and good karma... :rock

Thx for the props Mike! Hopefully I'll be able to isolate some lower bud sites for cross pollinating, but I'll let you know how it goes... :cool

Thx for the positive vibes Leb!!! I plan on upgrading my existing exhaust to a Can-Filter 75 and an 8" Max Fan... I will relocate the existing 4" inline fan to the Sun Hut at that time. :thinking

I'm really excited to see and smell the Raskal's OG... I've never sampled the UK Cheese, but I've heard many good things about it. :talking


Shady Update…

Shady’s Round 5 Bloom

Yesterday, I managed to get a blue 50 gal res into the tub. Then I carefully lowered the scrog which is now a couple inches lower than the previous round…

In addition to setting up the drip manifold and increasing the PPM’s tomorrow, I will probably need to do another cleanup of the lower canopy as Week 3 has begun…

LED Test Grow

First, I must thank Garden of Dreams for his generosity, help, and faith in me. I am sincerely grateful and will do my best to make you proud. Second, LEDGirl was kind enough to allow me to test the two 126W LED Penetrator Panels, which Garden of Dreams won in the LED Contest, until GoD can setup his test scrog in soil. In the next couple of days I will transplant my mothers, setup a scrog, and flip the lights. I will also need to add ventilation on the tent…

Shady Pollen Collection

The other day I accidentally got some moisture into the bag of CVK pollen I had been collecting. I’m not sure what to do, so I’ve started collecting in a new bag. Here’s CVK #3 with some pollen on its fan leaves…

The pollen collection is quite messy, but nearly complete for my needs. This is Sensi Skunk #2…

I’ll prob cull these two males in the next day or so depending on how many pollen sacks remain.

:icon_dizzy:

 

[Xceptional]

[mikegreenthumb]

[R. Face]

LED Acquisition

I am stoked for you to get that LED from Garden of Dreams. You will provide unbiased results I am certain and I know everyone here will appreciate your reports.

There are few farmers here who work as, "Smart" and hard as you Shady! I am doing way too many things to become any kind of expert in this regard and also count on your reports as my indicators for how to proceed in my grows.

I am trying to get a sick LED setup together also and anticipate getting started with my LED adventures near the close of next weekend... Now I don't have the cash to do this, but I will try to pull some strings! I would love to get my LED grow going parallel to yours as another comparison!

You should try to make it out to the Spring Gathering, I need a tan and will be soaking up the sun. I am gonna talk with Swerve about getting me some CaliConnection materials to spread around the venue in my spare time. I basically have to setup a booth in the morning and wait for the show to finish at 11PM when I can begin to tear down my part of the booth. I am a sound/stage/lighting guy in the evenings, so I should have a lot of networking opportunities at this show. The Chronic Candy Booth is gonna look like candy this show!

 

[winta]

+1 to all of that RF. Shady is literally on fire right now.

Anyways I was so bummbed to see you stop posting RF. You had hell of genetics going too.

 

[R. Face]

HT what up brother. Yeah sry bout that man, I updated my Bubba log btw, still got all the same genetics, minus the wierd Tahoe cut, but everythings just on a back burner ATM due to space limitations and moving...arrg

But not to hijack shadys thread, but I know he's doing major stuff. I wish my thread was 40+ pages, popular mo fo...lol

 

[justiceman]

Damn shady killing at usual. And WOW was i surprised when i scrolled down and saw those LED shots. Hell ya dude LED's are bad ass! I have seen a bunch of test shots from LEDgirl, and the new gen LED's just keep getting better and better. Let us all know what you think of them!

 

[TheCoolestMan]

Respect Shady i wanted to see a clean and honest Led grow report i think i have find the right place. Everything is looking clean there, i can tell u some of the raskal OG phenos are pure OG style!! I got my #3 that smells pure lemon candy and the #1 more sour lomeny.

Can't wait to see what phenos u get ,good luck!!

 

[CaliShark]

My man Shady...Had to come take a look over here in this neck of the woods. Looking like your busy as always, and always improving. I love it. So excited for you and the LED's, gonna be watching very close to see how you like them. The boys look like they're spreading their spunk all over the place, got any girls in mind you wanna knock up? Keep up the hard work Shady, your shits on fire...peace man.

 

[Socachi]

Hey Shady so your rockin the LED's now, lookin forward to seeing how they do. Hopefully their costs will come down in the very near future. So do you have the manifold setup yet lets see some pics of your drip system.

 

[supasticky]

Nice bro. Im glad you get to use those LED's cuz( no offense to anyone running them) now I know I will be able to hear the TRUTH. Shit is looking killer.
