Blackskulls and Such

Only filled 21 beer cups with cuttings, but some of the cuttings are 10 inchs tall with 3 or 4 possible cuttings on themselves. The table is down to 32 clones, almost the same size, 12 strains, but half of them are recovering in flush mode because of that nasty soil mix they just came out of. Also went to one plant per sq ft. which sounds better anyways for mothering purposes.


Heres my rant for the day
Im a carzy person because my mother beat me black and blue when I was a kid, and I have never been able to be real nice because of it and this is why I think they may lock me up for awhile, will find out soon enough. The problem is that there arent enough for fuckin real people out there in the world, just a bunch of pretend assholes, thats my opinion. Well, I know theres plenty of people who live good lives and may say get over it, but we all have our own path, this I know for truth.

So flower plants get nutes tommorrow, they look ok, probably another 4 weeks to go.
The veg plants are responding slowly in a positive manner, thats good.
Filled up a 28 gal container with more afgani power bud, it will be a nice bush eventually, I hope. Its outside in the veggie tent.
The hydro table is getting the 6 head manifold split to 12 stone, should work nice for the purposes of getting 02 displacement spread out.

Thanks for stopping and reading my rants, it helps.

Rant away vdog. I'm not much for most people either. lol

Soil cup clones, mostly bubble bud pheno 1 and Jack Herer cuts. Half the table is a 400 and the other half is cheap ceiling fan lites with flouros, again, cheap, but should go pick up another 400w from the electric guy. Flushing for about 3 or 4 days now and gonna start throwing in a lil feed in awhile. The veg plants continue to recover from that nasty 2 gal soil. If anything the high manure mix will serve as a great rootball during flower which would be good because I think the Jack is nute hungry and would explain alot of the yellowing of leaves flower. Whenever getting recently dosed they green up a bit, so I got the Dutch masters at full strength right now.
Looking forward to seeing these plants get healthy again and blasting out some more indoor hydro tables or buckets. Thinking about tearing thru one of the Jack Mothers for more cuts, I like having lots of cuts around no matter what Im doing healthy or not I always want to be repropergating and seeing more and more.

The dispencaries are opening in arizona per the governor, so Im done.
Good luck everyone, enjoy, I hope God takes my life soon
good bye

Wow, that is pretty drastic vdog. Stay with us now.

Im not completly gone... yet, as I like to take pics.
Here are pics from my current and last grow

ooooh pretty...is that the blackskull? Why last grow?

I am going to try other things in life, hopefully something Im good at.

Well, I hate to point out the obvious but....you are good at growing.

Well maybe if I can get dialed in indoors, however Im pretty frustrated at this point, I will see what happens indoors.

Good luck man. I'd hate to see you stop now. What you are doing there is wonderful. Keep it up vdog.

Im actually trying sobriety now, 3 days so far! However I think Im going to keep growing, just indoors with hydro for better quality vs the outdoor environment that I am in, and as a hobby.
Phoenix stays above freezing for the most part year round but other than pretty colors Im not currently seeing the density that I saw with the same strains (same mother) as I did this summer, and I think thats because of the 40 degree weather the root zone sees at night. However the current outside flowering plants seem to have more thc fuzz on them than the summer plants did. Lesson learned... pretty colors, and fuzzy thc coating but weak density is winter bud. Better density, typical green color, but less thc is indicative of the summer buds, and when I say summer I mean 115 degrees and 25% rh in the desert.
I am probably going to keep some of the current purple tops from the sensi skunk but use the jack herer and blackskull lavender bubble pheno as hash. I have about one pound left over from this summers run that I also have left, it was some of the first buds that I tried drying in a 30% humidity closet, they dried down to fast, and although they went into jars before being below 50 % rh they taste like hay. So lesson to anyone who is drying and has not done it before..... its not that you get them into jars before they are completly dry, its how fast they come down in drying, its a chemical process, so if the water leaves the bud to fast, it will taste like manure, no matter how long you cure. Do NOT dry in less than 50% to 60 % humidity, this way the chemical process of drying takes longer and doesnt screw up your flowers. That last comment is more for desert growers like myself. Just remeber low humidity growers that slows the pace that wins the race!
I love outdoor, but inorder to keep things moving along in a green house at night it would take a space heater and if Im going start palying with environmental factors outside I may as well be inside under lights. However, I am still planning on doing atleast one 100 gal grow pot with a april planting outdoors with one of my current 2 to 3 foot mothers that I will keep in veg with night light until the summer weather breaks this season, (around late septemberish) so that they can flower when its nicer out.
Im looking forward to running indoor hydro under hids with correct temps, humidity, and circulation. I even have the closet humidor that could easily accomadate a hid and co2. I have run co2 on a controller monitior before but I had a mental breakdown and tore everything apart and throw the plants in the dumpster, no shit I an be crazy, but Im hoping psycothearpy, psych meds, sobriety, better diet, exercise, and reliance on God will help me in the future. I used to look at growing as a ego thing and Im now going to look at it as a hobby and a outlet. So thank you for the support and patience I look forward to improving across the board.

Note: Im currently at 70 days of flower with sativa dominant genes since eliminating the night light, but the flower plants only get about 9 hours of viable sun a day outdoors, so Im thinking they are going to take another 14 days atleast. Even thou they are outdoors they arent performing like typical outdoor plants becuase the sun is short, its cold, and they didnt go thru a "normal" solstice pattern of light because they were grown with night light in veg.

I am glad to hear that vdog. It just seems like such a waste if you give up now. You seem to be so good at what you do, I can't imagine you stopping. Question though...why would you need to stop growing outdoors if AZ is allowing dispensaries to open? Wouldn't that make it easier to grow for you?

I think sobriety will do wonders for you. It's amazing how the fog clears and things improve when the alcohol is not present. Things just start to fall into place. Sobriety is a work in progress in my home. My man is an alcoholic. I am too, but I can go without. If it is not in the house. If it is there, Ima drinking it. I guess I am a co-dependent? Anyway, good luck with it. And it really is 'One day at a time.' Sounds cheezy, but it's true. Take care vdog. ttyl fumble

the law in az is that you can NOT cultivate if within 25 miles of a licensed dispencary, however the law passed nov. 2011 and alot of people have spent alot of money since then on genetics, equipment, power and the such, so with dispencaries opening over a year later the state is worried about class action suit by local growers so "supposedly" they are not going to enforce the 25 mile zone????

To be honest if they did, Im sure alot of people would keep growing regardless.
