Glad you be feelin her spicy curves, my favorite fellow collaborator!!!!!! Gonna start giving her the OT love .. Final fifty days starts now...

dude you guys need to see these pics of my crosses im goiong to be using this awesome scope I got that hooks up to my pc.

everything is full of beautiful forests of trich's its beautiful.

also will be showing you peeps my cross of my gorilla glue #4 with my whiteskunk. reason Im using white skunk is cause its a super yielder plus gives everything a ctrusy skunky smell with dense ass nuggs lmfao, and gorilla glue being high in thc and taste is amazing figured to give it a try lol

Good day my fellow herbalists,
Hope your enjoying the sun,
And your garden,
Just wanted to share a shot of the Black Forrest
As she rounds the 145 day mark aka just 44 days left..
Now the real action begins..that's a full size drill on the floor beside her if you can spot it.

She's loving her new deadly albeit supportive bamboo spears.

Ever since sourcing this new 5mil black and white poly its been project-one-panel-a-day.

Every stud along the floor got custom cut and gorilla taped, ..even the ducting is insulated and light proof now as is the poly-wrapped secondary foam ceiling we put in above the wooden one.

Now if screws go thru the wood ceiling there's a forgiving air gap with reflective durofoam suspended above, with black poly wrapping that, all sealed along the room's edges by double-wide gorilla tape. Heh heh heh so happy mon

The only tricky part was the magnetic door..had to leave a gap for the door's homemade DIY flaps out of gorilla tape to cover the slightly beaming seams so Just rolled up a piece blackout fabric, laid it down on the roof above the wood (but below the foam) and now its 100% fully light proof. Its so sealed the door flexes as you open it, even had to reinforce the door handle with wood, lol.I get an extra-satisfied feeling every time I open the door now or look at her exterior..haha.

Gonna be great for our DIY greenhouses too now @DonPetro !! It's ten feet wide, bro, we just need us some PVC now

Herbalists!
My Best goes around the world..
All is well in the Dons Camp here..we got a Little treat to share too..
She was topped once from seed
then minimally LSTd,
with water only for all 10 wks of flower,
minus just 1L in basic tea.
Natural Aloe foliar once for heat protection,
And one frass watering and one coco-watering too.
Real simple.. Lets scope her sugar out, shall we?

This Super LemonChernobyl in a DIY 2.5 gallon pot had next to no effort put into her- thańks to her living, organic soil

Note the leaf belly at 9 o'clock coated to her max

Thanks big guy, shit hey
I keep forgetting they're supposed to fade!!
I'll let the lower portion do her thing for a while more while I watch the trich show..
It's definitely some of the tastiest Chernobyl I've ever tasted.. And it's only day one of dry after a quick ~2.5 day cure

And the glass was dirty, at least 2 days without a wash

Hey PigTro!
You bet, OLS are boss especially when you can keep the microbes flourishing.... Bigger is better imo and we will be retiring these little pots as they harvest out..still pleased with them but they gotta be 18 US or 22 imperial gallons to be qualified for entrance into the flowering room from now on!! (Minus sea-bed technique!)

And yeah boi, that's Chun Li our Chinese panel working overtime after lights went out, We usually run her for the first 8 hours of a night then again for the last 15 mins or so.. Just to blast the canopy with far reds and allow for the sleepytime flowering hormone to switch faster and give us more potential production during lights out. Not to mention the DIY LeDs are immensely bright during photo time, they require shades and a hat, lol.

Ah right thats why the pics still have the purple look after the light upgrade i gets ya

Yer them cobs are seriously bright hey i sometimes look at them just to instantly regrett it. Flashing marks on eye lids for the next few mins lol. And thats only at 1amp i cant even imagine them running at 2 amps + must be super bright.

big pots sound good. I have to make do with smaller pots of living soil and teas for now but the results are great. Top dressing with ewc seems to do me wonders aswell.

Looking forward to seeing your progression into big pots and see how that plus the cobs leds affect your grow inspirational as always man keep up the good work safe

For sure buddy,

Blindingly bright.. be careful..lol
And thanks man,
Don't let our new style sway you one sec!! .. We rocked the one gallons real proudly! Tea can always re-inoc, and castings are true bioweapons! Just figured its time to work with the grain a bit, if we can. I'm really looking forward to them being on wheels too. Gonna be great for the ol back, lol
Til then, peace!

Wanna see an untopped, F1 Kosher cross from seed in a 2 gallon plastic pot who's loving her organic, simple life?
She's about four feet tall already, about two feet taller than her topped sis!


Smelling like a sweet diesely pheno, I've yet to smell Kosher with this twist


Scope her Frosty petioles, my fav!

More on deck,
Meanwhile,
Hope y'all feelin' gravy!
-DT

I really need to get this scope and camera so you guys can see my creations

Hey hey everyone,

Thought some SuperLemonChernobyl shots might be a good idea since they been cured and jarred for a few days now..

I don't even know what to say about the potency right now, other than its really, really fricken potent.



Smells like Apple diesel with sharp sambuca and sassafras undertones..





Leaving extra leaves on seems to have slowed the cure and metabolized it a bit more.. Note the nice, light green shade and well protected trichs.. Pretty crazy for unedited tablet pictures!!
It sure packs some flavour for Chernobyl, too!

Hope y'all having a good week,
Your friendly neighbourhood
DonTesla

sweedt im running Chernobyl rite now!!!! I got two more days and its flower, also I have found that if you trim all big leafs off and leacve the smaller ones on it increases the time to dry but it also gives it a better taste and is alott smoother

cool man nice might try that. Do you mean like just doing a rough trim ?? Leaving all the sugar leaves on ?? Do you then trim them once its all cured up. I normally like adding them to smoking mixes or cooking them into coconut oil bad kitty smiles style. Guess if i leave them on the bud they will get ground up and used anyway in the end. And if it improves flavour and smoke its a win win! Thanks for the heads up don tesla and radikal dank

You guys have fun on 420 ?? I made sure i was medicated most of the day. Luckily i had a day at home so good times. Medicated diy prob was on the 21st i just wanted to continue lol....

Yeah !! happy 4/20 guys!!!
..had to rent a hual but got extremely medicated all day too, lmao..it was cross joint after bowl after j after bowl..
Hope you guys had a good one!!

And yea Trotta, Def keep some leaves on, I wasn't aware if bigger leaves can affect taste..if this is true.. Then bun dem big leaves mon!! I leave all leaves on for 48 hours, or so, then rough trim for final day of cure, then i save my immaculate trim for right before I blaze so the remaining Claws can protect even more trichs.
A tinted jar with parchment lining cut to fit helps this preservation too. However, I now believe I get TOO high sometimes, lmao..

Meanwhile, here's a shot of our in house Gravy Train.. A little 3rd gen girl from clone in a one litre of diy OLS-S.. Just for fun since i missed the beer cup comp.
She's about two feet tall now and starting to flow.


Now on

Now on to much larger specimens..
Here be the BlackForr in her first day of her final month..




Only 30 days REMAIN... YES MON


PEEP HER MEAN LEAN!
More pics on deck!

So here's a little F1 Kosher update on our girl fs .. She is fading like no other in the garden.. She is under her own DIY LED plus there are two more harbouring near her that overlap, so she is metabolizing like crayyyyzy .. Hit her with two teas this last month too, I swear.
Must be the spot in the room(under cool air in), the extra light, and the 50% weaker soil I mixed with her Rasta blend SS to make up her pot.. Was tight at the time on supersoil..Wow, what a diff.. She is fading more daily. What a show .. I'm so mean I'm just watching her and watering her..amazing how she prospers despite the adversity
