Ah dude MC I forgot to tell you I found some shishkaberry from my dispensary, so I bought it just because I remember you growin it, and it was damn good man! I really enjoyed it!

My last batch of PF did not really have much of a cheese smell to it... And that makes me excited what you say about the PK! And see... That 8 week flower time is still long to me! I don't ever want to grow a plant with a 10+ week flower time. But that's about where my lacy girl is about at. I still chop at 95% milky which is round 9 weeks for lacy girl. She is by far my fav smoke tho! I want more plants with shorter flower times! lol. Doesn't everybody tho??? lol. This PE is flowerin fairly fast. As well as the BB. I'm not sure if the BB is DJ Shorts. He didn't say it was so I'm just assuming it's not.

I'm all about this Top 44 strain I've got goin. I mean. It's a very slow veg time. But it's by far the easiest cloning plant I've ever come across. I plant in dirt 10 days after cutting. That's how fast these bitches root. And having only a 6 week and 2 day flower time... That's just dope as fuck to me! lol. But I've yet to harvest a Top 44. And as always, it's all about the smoke. So we'll see what I think about her smoke before glorifying her anymore. lol. I just love the short ass flower time. Month and a half. Hell yes!

I want to breed! Just don't have the resources or space at the moment. Unfortunatly.

hey thats awesome you got some shishkaberry i wonder if it is the same kinda stuff cuz the strain i got was mainly found in oregon or at least this particler one. do you know if it was shishkaberry #3 or the original? and maybe my PF is a different pheno or something cuz it smells cheesy as hell. and mabye you should try to find some heavy indicas for short flowering times i dont think anything really fully matures under the 7 week mark though. the BB should be a fairly fast flowering girl, and ya the PK is the shit, i had a guy who grows it he brought back the clone of it from cali a few years ago and few have it here he is stingy with clones cuz it is a lil rare up here so he keeps the strain for himself but man it was so good and the smell was amazing i could smell it from days away so strong it kinda burnt the nose to smell im sure you will be satisfied with it if i remember right he said it isnt a huge yeilder but very good quality if grown right witch im sure you will be doing it right. youve came a long way since the first grow i started following. and what does top 44 consist if you know? and hey someday im sure you will have enough space and resources to do some breeding, seems like things are really going well for you, New good paying job, new flower box and a box full of great strains.
this is kinda out of the blue but i really want to get an original strain you know like one that hasnt been bred with anything else at all. do you know of any?

Is that DJ Short original Blueberry or Dutch Passion? Do you plan on any LST?

Couple quick shots I snapped right after watering and lights out.

Man..... I'm not sure if these are considered 'origional' strains or not. But I have a buddie that use to live/grow in cali. And he said he's got the pre78 bubba kush. And Cindy 99. And I've seen pix. Runnin 12, 1k watters. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But those strains man. I'd do anything to get my hands on THEM! For REAL!..

lol. I hit up the medical cannabis expo that was in my city this weekend. It was pretty dope. Got a quite a few cupons and 2 free pipes. So that was sweet. Then hit up this new dispensary and got a buy one get on free 1/4 oz. So I picked up some white berry, ice cream, and pumpkin pie. All quite fuckin delicious if I do say so mylsef!

Ya know man I'm really not sure WHAT blueberry it is to be honest with you. And yea I'll LST my next batch. And did just a little on this one. Was gettin lazy takin care of my girls when I was dating my ex. She didn't smoke nor give a fuck about my plants. So they got neglected this grow. But she's no bother anymore. So the next batch will be primo. This one is still smelling and looking amazing in MY eyes tho.

the pr78 sounds like an original it would be cool if you got them, and i have seen the cindy 99 on a seed bank once when i was thinkin of buyin some. and right on about the pipes mabye throw up some pics of them when you have time, you seem to be pretty busy now, you used to be on here alot. and the plants are lookin great you should have a nice harvest, some of them look like the could use a dose of N. but other wise the look great. the plant in the last pic looks to have a 7-8 inch main cola

Hey guys I'm headed to work. Just finished doin a couple hours of work on the girls in veg. Here's some pix after transplanting/training. Also took 11 PermaFrost cutting and threw them in my bubble cloner. I'm pretty confident in a 100% success rate. I haven't lost a single cutting yet that I've put in that bubble cloner. It's treating me well, and I'm lovin it!

I know it's hard to tell what the hell is going on in there. It's pretty crammed. Just waiting on my girls in flower to finish so I can flip some of my girls in veg.

EDIT: Did more work. more transplanting, more watering. ect ect. anyways. more pix

Eh the pipes I got are nothing special. Just a chillum and a little baby sized pipe. HA. I'm workin on the N def you were talkin bout MC. I have been for a couple weeks actually. Just been giving her so many nutes I'm scared of toxic salt build up. Do you know if that is something that is common? I've always been afraid of that, so always stuck to the feed>water>feed>water schedual. But that plant that was lookin to need some N, has been fed for the past 4 weeks straight! And it's STILL yellowing like that. She's just hungry as fuck, and since all the feedings I'm scared of a toxic salt build up...

Also... I have absolutely NO expierence with adjusting my PH or checking/keeping an eye on my PPM... Since the start I have just been eyeballing it. Whenever a plant LOOKS to need something, i give her what she needs. But I got paid yesterday, so I went out and bought myself a PH test kit and a PPM meter. I figured it can only help right?... Anyways, I guess I need to do some more research on both the subjects now since I actually can find out the levels...

So if anybody at all knows what this means..... Let me know if you will... lol. But my TAP water (the water I ALWAYS use and have been usnig from day 1) Has a PH of about 8 to 8.5 and my PPM is 71..... I don't know what this means exactly... HAHAHA. Just been growing and 'eyeballing' everything. So I guess when I get some time I'll go do some research on the subjects. Anyways. I'll catch yous later. And thanks for any info from anybody on this shit.

if you feed water then feed water then salt build up should not be a prob. i use the ph meter cuz ph does matter i never used a ppm meter for soil but some people do i just think it is mainly for hydro. and that high of a ph could be why the plant is yellowing but the others seem fine im surprised theri has been no lock outs from the ph i let my tap water sit out with the cap off befor ei use so this way the chlorine evaporates. also you want to try to water with a ph of 6-7 is the best. and as for the ppms of the water well that is low im not ppm meter smart but from all ive read about ppms and what not 71 is low mabye try changing the ph of the water lower before using

nice perpetual! got one going myself.. lemme know what you think. i really dig your setup and your strains. what made you choose the strains you had? i was thinking of getting blueberry, would love to know how it turns out!

Damn, you got good water. My tap water registers 250 ppm! Anyways, I have been
following this/these journals since they started and I have to admit I am impressed with your dedication and commitment. You do good work with what you have available, I know your results will only keep getting better. Good vibes

Yeah that is nice and low ppm, mine is .22 EC which is 110 ppm on the .5 scale. For ppm there is 2 diff scales so u need to make sure u check your meter info and figure out if it's .5 or .7 so your speaking the same language. Here's a little conversion chart so u get the idea.



As for the ph like purple said u wanna ph it to 6 or 7 depending on where the runoff is coming out of your pots.

i never checked my ppm in the water or soil i feel that ppm measurements is more for hydro.

Where did you go man?
any new updates?

Hey guys sorry for the lack of updates. With this new job I spend a lot less time on my computer. And have had dead batteries. lol. But anyways here are some updates pix. I've harvested 4 plants so far. Already smoked one of the bagseed plants. lol. Still have some pineapple E left, blueberry is drying as well as another bagseed. Still have a bagseed, lacey and top 44 to harvest.

I've done my testing ect on the different ways to grow... And man, LST is most DEFINITELY for me! My yield is seriously at least double when I LST compared to if I don't. Anyways. Enjoy the pix. Lemme know what you think.

If anybody is following still... HAHAHA.

*First 4 pix are of the flower room now.
Strains are PermaFrost-Blueberry-Purple Nepal-DJ Shorts Purple Kush-Top44-Berry Skunk-Pineapple Express
And I just accuired some Hundu Skunk seeds a couple days ago also.

*Next 2 are a couple of the girls put into flower bout 2 weeks ago or so.

*Nest 2 are of the Blueberry the day it was put into flower. And a couple weeks before harvest.

*Next 3 are of my Lacy Girl. A pic of the day before flipping to flower, and then 3 weeks from harvest-ish.

*Next 2 are of my Top 44. No idea when this shit's gonna finish!.. lol

*The one after that is my Pineapple Express (first go at a Hempy Bucket) Harvest. Smelliest plant I have ever harvested before. EVER! Used the OC+ nutes on this aswell.

*And the last is of a bagseed and the blueberry drying.

My take on the OC+ nutes... If you want an easy as grow, put some in a hempy bucket and you will be very pleased! I was! But in soil. I'll never EVER use the OC+ nutes again. Just overall not super healty plants compared to my MG or Jack's classic. But OC+ for hempy is the shit! And great smoke! And super SUPER easy!

looking good hooked, i really like the way the lacy girl comes out very nice and looks to be heavy. glad you hempy was successful.
the top 44 looks like it will have some nice colas on her to.
do you save your trim or anything, or make hash with it?

Ladies look healthy man, fat!

Any official weights on the dried plants?

Looking good Hook'd. Glad to see you haven't left us

But here are a couple harvest pix of my all time favorite buds (Lacey) and some new pix of the flower room as of today. Enjoy.

If you wanna ask questions I'll try to get on and answer them and chat it up. Just had a hectic couple months. haha. I'll try to be on more tho

And all I have is a tiny ass scale. So I'll just be honest and tell you I know no definite weights... lol
