Awesome...feel free to post up a pic or two for comparison if you like...I'm curious to see other Casey plants. Also, is the plant from seed or clone, and do you know the breeder?

Well I spent a couple hours yesterday transplanting some of the smaller plants into larger containers, and finally got pics of everyone in the garden! So without further ado...

Chiesel. Very close to finishing flower. This is the last run with this strain, and I'm a little sad about that. In the fall/winter this plant turns some very amazing shades of purple...almost black by the end...and looks fantastic. Smoke is great, but it's time to move on.


One of the nice things about this plant is how short and squat it stays. And how nice and dense the buds are.


Jack the Ripper. I sprouted 3 seeds, 2 were male, this being the lone female. There is just no point in this plants life where it decides to stop stretching. Foxtailing would be an understatement.


The biggest drawback to this, aside from the obnoxious height and limited bud, is the amount of stem present within the limited bud. However, this situation is mitigated by only vaporizing this plant, in which you are just melting off the trichomes and not burning the stem anyway. VERY NICE TASTE, SMELL, and HIGH. Just shitty growth. I have 7 more seeds to crack sometime and get one of those nice phenotypes I know are in there...but for now, I have this.


A little side-by-side action for some scale. I'm pretty sure I flowered them at the same time, and they were identical in height (on the smaller side). The one limiting factor is always genetics...


Moving right along, we have Critical Jack. This plant just loves to grow fast and strong.


You can see I do a very basic form of LST...I use a piece of string and the slits already present in the side of the pot and just tie down the branch. Works like a champ and you don't have to TOP. I should point out the reason I am opposed to topping is you remove the strongest growing and potentially largest yielding part of the plant. Using LST, you create additional colas while still preserving the massiveness of the main one.


Next, Casey Jones. Already going nuts. She was tied down in the smaller pot, but I haven't tied her back down since transplanting. I'll do it later, because this plant needs it more than any other!


Another shot...looking healthy and happy.


Next, Pineapple Chunk. I have never had a plant stink so much in veg. This one took a bit longer to root than the first two, which is why she is still smaller. All clones were taken on the same day.


Next, Afghan Kush. This one was in a small plastic cup until I transplanted, so it has yet to be tied down. I put this one back in the veg room though so it can take as long as it needs to branch out (after I tie it down of course, because if I don't tie it there is no chance it will branch at all).


Next, LSD. This plant has been around my room for a while. I almost let it go after the last run, but at the last moment decided I wanted to keep it, so I took a bud 6 or 7 weeks into flower and cloned it. Took a long time for it go back to normal, but now she's chugging right along.


I have some pretty amazing pics of this and the Chiesel I grew over last winter. It was best grow effort to date. I'll try and throw them up sometime.


You can see where the plant has grown out from the budding branch...there are still smokeable trichomes on it!


This is an emergency OG Kush clone I took from a plant that I harvested and attempted to re-veg. The whole situation was very messed up, but eventually the plant started vegging again, and this was all I was able to salvage before it died altogether. There were a few more I planned to cloning after I returned from a 6 day trip, but by the time I got back she was just about dead. I have 3 more fem seeds, but this pheno was simply amazing, and I'm a fool for not cloning it sooner. So, we'll see if she comes through. I think it may have rooted though...


Finally, an in-situ shot of the big girls. The Casey Jones is finally beginning to look like it is flowering. It doesn't quite have buds yet, but is getting there slowly.



So, that is the extent of my current garden. I'm thinking about starting another seed or two just for fun...I have about 20 different strains. Maybe I'll throw up a list and let you guys choose for me

Good to see you haven't lost your touch lst'ing jer bear. I liked what you did in the last journal with your basket weaving techniques. I think it was the ghs trainwreck.

Lookin nice, im lovin lst more and more everytie i do it.. keep up the good work !

Here are those pics I mentioned earlier from a previous grow. Many of you have likely seen these before, but I can't re-post them enough. When the temperature finally begins to drop in my part of the world is when the fun begins!

Chiesel...I wasn't kidding it was almost black.




LSD. Note the wonderful autumnal colors in the second shot.

Looking good Jerry. Do all nutrients come from compost/soil in your grow? Are you adding organic nutrients as well? How many weeks are you harvesting, perpetually?

Now thats looking good.

im feelin the color'son the leaves, did it happen to ALL the clones or was it conditional?

My plants derive nutrients from both the medium and liquid organic additives. My soilless medium consists of BioBizz Light Mix (peat), Fox Farm Light Warrior, Worm Castings (up to 40% ish), 9-3-2 Mexican Bat Guano, Mycorrhizae and some Garden Lime to balance pH. The guano and castings provide most of the nutrients for the first 3 weeks or so after transplant, so I gradually transition from water to nutrient feedings throughout the grow, depending on plant response. For liquid nutes I used Blue Mountain Organics for a while (including for LSD and Chiesel from before) and have been using the General Organics line for the past 4 or so months.

Harvest time depends on a myriad of factors, and because I have so many strains at various stages of growth I just harvest when they need harvesting. I typically take clones from the plants just prior to or immediately after beginning flower. This way I can get away with not having mother plants but still always have something going. I like to try so many strains it just works out this way. I know it could be far more efficient, but for the time being it works pretty well.

Conditional...the temps in the winter with the lights off hover around the upper 50's/low 60's, so they go through dramatic color changes. But in the summer they just turn to yellow and die off.

hell yea,looking good J.

well it is looking good my friend...i also love growing multiple strains, just posted some images and a vid if you wanna come check it out. 13 strains goin.

il post a quiky pic of my casey jones at 3 weeks nearly cuz u asked to see it Jerry. Cheers

Hey jerry, looking good man. sad to see your JTR phenos stretched that much, but atleast u have 7 more beans to go through. I'm lovin your casey jones, prob my favorite in there. cant wait to see how they turn out. Sub'd. peace. - farmer

Here are some shots of the flowering plants at about week 6...

Casey Jones Bush. I thinned it out considerably, though you can't tell...


Here's a close up of one branch. Let me point out this is WEEK 6 OF FLOWER! If I didn't know any better I'd think this was hemp...


Pineapple Chunk. Very stinky. Not a huge yield on her just yet, but she smells nasty. In a good way.




Next, good old Afghan Kush. I think "spear" adequately describes it. Solid as a rock.


This is also 6 weeks flowering...


Finally some Critical Jack. This plant is still my early pick for favorite of the bunch. Just the sweetest smelling most perfect weed smell ever.


Not huge buds, but not small either. I think the next few weeks will do wonders to this girl.



Also, I harvested my last Chiesel plant...maybe ever. No pics but it looked more or less that same as the last one I posted.

Jack the Ripper is nearing harvest. Still growing stupid. Still awesome smoke.

I took 5 clones...3 Critical Jack, 1 Afghan Kush, 1 Pineapple Chunk.

Also, ordered a 4x4 grow tent! Gonna be doubling my plant output. Stoked.

nice update man! looking real good. what soil do you use? do the plants feed from the soil strictly or are you feeding with organic nutrients?i am planning on going organic next grow. i have a few ingredients and was wondering if you will look over them and let me know if this will be good to add to some fox farm ocean forest soil. i also have age old grow 6-6-12, supposed to be organic.

fox farm ocean forest
1oz botanicare zho rhizosphere root inoculant
2oz 100% earthworm castings
2.25oz bat guano high phos 0-13-0
1oz water soluble inoculant with beneficial bacteria
3 types of myco- age old grow, great white, humboldt nutrients
4oz of geohumus- a soil additive for water retention

im sure this is enough for a plant or two right? i think ill go out and get some dolomite lime and a few other additives as well...any suggestions on must have items for this soil?

That Afghan Kush looks wonderful

What kind of camera are you using? The colors on your plants are beautiful. +rep

casey jones dunt look right fore week six man, I got one at 4 weeks and its much fatter buds on it than urs? Everything else looks fab and groovey tho.

i agree with Westy, at 4 weeks it's a lil thin. wonder what it could be?
