    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Thanks man, it was like something straight out of the bible. With less sexism, judgement and sin, so really nothing like the bible but more like the miracles it describes without the politics. Why can't we just enjoy a good water to wine miracle without suppressing some minority?

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Couple shots of the glorious top palm-like double leaf on #5, I should be ashamed of the pic quality but I was rushing to finish prunning/cloning before my back gave out. I failed and it got stretched to three days; prunning on the first, cutting clones from the clippings the next day as...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    You can't have a grow without at least one runt/freak, which brings us to #5. Early on around the 3rd or 4th node it showed whorled phylotaxy and grew 4 leaves instead of 2. The apical meristem also got funky as the next leaves grew as one merged in the center growing straight up instead of a...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    #4 is the less common pheno that's not quite as bushy and a bit more stretched out. She's also the most sensitive, they all had a bit of a magnesium deficiency early on but #4 showed the most extreme signs and took the longest to bounce back. You can still see some of the older damaged leaves...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Rene #2 is fairly typical of the growth I've been seeing. Most are pretty bushy with close internodes, although I was about a week late transplanting them into the bigger pots so being root bound may have contributed to that. There's a couple shots before and one post prunning. I'm guessing...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Finally got around to finishing clipping clones, cleaning the girls up and tying them down getting ready for flowering. What can I say, things can get kinky in the Chibatorium but always consensual... Here's shot of the garden now that the canopy has been evened out, gonna have to fire up...

    How to breed?

    Do you want to make seeds or breed? The distinction I'd make between them is anyone can chuck some pollen & make new crosses to pheno hunt through. Breeders implies a level of professionalism/scale unachievable for home growers & rarely seen in the cannabis seed business. Luther Burbank would...

    Dr. greenthumb seed review!

    I grew his Chumaluma, Endless Sky & Niagara years ago. The right cut of Endless Sky is phenomenal, Chumaluma reminded me of F13 that I was also growing then with a nice hashy taste. There's always been a lot of haters but I had good luck with him & no complaints. I'll have to try some of his...

    Stress+Recovery time=Better yield & potency

    I assume you have controlled studies proving the points you claim above or is it just an opinion based an anecdotal experience that can't be backed up? That's the ongoing issue at this point, people making those claims but not being able to validate them other then by taking their word for it...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    I'll be building the Dopository (aka veg room) soon, just gotta build a wall to divide the room from the rest of the living space first. Which should only be a couple hours of work before cripplehood, in my post cripple days I'll take a couple days to do it so that I don't stress my still...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Not many plant pics yet as vegging plants aren't that thrilling to look at. There's some signs of nutrient stress visible from dialing in the ferts. More so in the Rene (bigger plants) as the Violeta have been chugging along nicely. I've got to take clones and LST the 6 Rene and lone...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    There's still some odd jobs to finish up; tidying up the wiring, testing and re-wiring the old lights (three 600w HPS, 1000w convertible and the first 400w I ever bought is around somewhere), hanging the second 600w, setting up the carbon filter and putting up the second curtain to make it light...

    Somatek's Chibatorium

    Welcome to Somatek's Chibatorium of funktastic fun. My first grow in almost a decade, first time being legal but not the first time around the block. Which has led to a more relaxed playful approach, it didn't take long for the veg & flower rooms to be renamed the Dopository & the Chibatorium...

    Stress+Recovery time=Better yield & potency

    I'm also ashamed & apologise for poor communication instead of revelling in it. I was also high, which is basically saying I'm awake. Which is even more reason to aim for clear, concise communication without letting ego get in the way when you're wrong. So much easier to just acknowledge ya...

    Stress+Recovery time=Better yield & potency

    Sorry, I was distracted talking to someone else while typing & phrased that poorly but I was actually referencing you. If I had completed the thought & sentence it would have read. But apparently forgot to type the essential point illustrating the arrogance displayed by the OP. Sorry for the...

    Stress+Recovery time=Better yield & potency

    Why are you ruining a perfectly good thread about bikes with unrelated gibberish that can't wrap your head around 80 pages later. One last time before I also ignore you for the rest of eternity... Scrog increases yields despite the stress it causes not because of it. Now quiet down so I can...

    Normal?

    It's a sign the leaves are over heating. Start by looking at all the enrivonmental factors Hotrodharley listed. If none of those are the issue the start looking at the growing medium/fertilisers to figure out what's wrong. At this point it's more a warning sign, good thing you noticed it...

    Any Garlic Growers?

    The creoles are already done. First pic is the Burgundy's which are pretty small with the largest being the same size as the seed garlic I bought last year. A bunch have corms growing on the bulbs which was new to me. I'll plant them next year & see how long it takes for them to grow full...

    Stress+Recovery time=Better yield & potency

    The fear of learning is strong in this noob, pictures of successful plants create too much cognitive dissonance because his don't lool like that regardless how much he stresses them.
