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

[winta]

u singin my song :giggle i like a good sativa too though ;) that master x bubba is so sick bro each time u run her!

I'm an Indica fan, as well as an OG and Chem fiend... So I don't think I could choose and keep only one of each... That's my tragic character flaw and what really hurts my yield when running so many diff strains...

 

[leadsled]

Nice shady. You ran the diablo yet?

Many thanks bud for the good karma... I feel a bit ignorant, but I don't know the lingo when peeps say "k+"... :thinking

k+ mean more potassium! Seriously it means more rep to you. Since I cant give you any more rep. I type k+
w00t!

Shady’s Harvest… Round 8

Those nugs are looking great man especially that MK x BK. So I have some Q's for ya man!

Why did you start flowering with lower wattage light continually raising the wattage as flowering progressed? Did you not require air cooling or A/C because of colder temps?

That Undercurrent looks sick man! Can't wait to see that baby in use.

Thx again for the kind words justiceman! I had started Round 9 unprepared and didn't have an extra HPS... My SCROG was already starting to veg vertically after the screen was filled, so I had to flip the switch using the T8's... TF1 FTW!!! Then my good friend hooked me up with a used HPS setup, but the hood was bad and by the time I finally got a new hood, I decided to just ramp up the wattage and PPM's on my nute mix concurrently... Also, I reused the soil from Round 6, and did a final flush w/o adjusting the pH of my RO... So yeah, I decided to do quite a bit of shady experiments in Round 9... :itwasntme

i just wanna live inside your calyx' :bongsmi:

Thx buddy! That's one of my fav bud shots as well... :rock

u singin my song :giggle i like a good sativa too though ;) that master x bubba is so sick bro each time u run her!

Word up winta! I love sativa and indica hybrids as well... Maybe I just haven't found a really good sativa yet, but that might change as I've got a couple new beans to pop... :thinking

Nice shady. You ran the diablo yet?

Thx my man! I have not yet ran the Diablo OG, but I'm about to post some decent veg shots of her and a few other mommies that haven't been posted yet... :cool

Well, I ended up pushing my girls past the edge and harvested on Christmas day, which was Day 78 or just past 11 weeks of bloom. Here are a few bud shots before and after trimming…

Sweet! I've only smoked BHO a couple times, but don't have a titanium nail, or Hashmasta Kut curve with a titanium plate... Shit besides being on a hiatus from smoking, I'd probably be in a coma if I took a BHO hit right now... :itwasntme

Shady Veg Status…

Oops… I forgot to post a few shots I took on Christmas Eve of the Shady Veg Station. All of the girls are in my Shady Mix of Fox Farms Happy Frog, B’cuzz Coco, Chunky Perlite #4, and Light Warrior. I’m gonna have to take plenty of cuts and gear up the ebb ‘n flow tray soon…
http://i1083.invalid.com/albums/j390/ShadyUnderCurrent/ShadyVegStation.jpg

The following clones are currently sitting in the ebb ‘n flow tray, but will be moved out in a couple weeks, when cuts are ready to hit the water…

Here’s the clone of Double Underdawg #3 that I managed to save…
http://i1083.invalid.com/albums/j390/ShadyUnderCurrent/DoubleUnderdawg3-2.jpg

And the Grape Romulan was having a few issues, but she seems to have worked them out…
http://i1083.invalid.com/albums/j390/ShadyUnderCurrent/GrapeRomulan.jpg

And here are a few cuts that have been mentioned, but not seen the shady spotlight yet…

Oh yeah… After a month in the humidity dome, 2 out of 4 Fire OG cuts have finally popped roots out of the rockwool cubes… They’re the two in the middle…

[RIVAL79]

Congrats shady! Everything looks tasty. I got some new pics up in my tga grow! Check it out when u get a chance.

 

[justiceman]

Damn dude those previously unsees strains are badass. Especialy that Skywalker OG. Her leave definition as well as shape looks ridiculous.

Interesting about those Fire OG cuts. So it took about a month for them to root? For some reason I thought If girl's don't root in 14 days they are done for, but obviously I'm wrong. That's some good info to know!

Whaddup DSX! Thx for the kind words and cruising through brah... What have you got going on in your garden these days? :wondering

As for the Super Sour Diesel... My good friend hooked me up with that cut and many of the other cuts I posted, so I'll need to confirm with him about it's lineage. Based on my research it's either Super Skunk x Sour Diesel, or Super Silver Haze x Sour Diesel...

Congrats shady! Everything looks tasty. I got some new pics up in my tga grow! Check it out when u get a chance.

Thx Rival79! I'll swing by and check out the eye candy... :mmm

Thx bud! Yeah I'm very interested in all these diff OG Kush cuts, and the very diff structures of their leaves and shoots... some leaves are fat, some are skinny, some have the Christmas tree shaped shoots, and some look like they just want to grow straight up...

As for the Fire OG, I was told that it did not root easily... And I'm not one to give up easily, so I was patient... That being said I could tell that the cuts were anchored into the rockwool at around 18 days, but roots didn't pop out of the rw cubes until day 30... Maybe I'll try some Roots Excelurator in my clone nutrient mix next time and compare... :cool

Shady’s Round 9… Finally Flushed

Well, I made it to the end and will begin chopping plants over the next few days. Over the last year and a half, it’s been very interesting to compare the results of the same strains grown using diff mediums and nutrients… Also, I’d like to reiterate that in addition from some shady experiments in Round 9, I have been flushing with RO that I did not pH. I had read a thread about this recently and decided to confirm my own suspicions regarding RO water and it’s seemingly unstable pH levels depending on how much I stir it with my Hanna meter. Anyways, here are a few shots taken last night on Day 71… These girls are rock solid...
