You guys crack me up man. Hey Prosperian, not only do you have great taste in coffee you have great taste in scotch too my friend. I have never been a drinker really cause of stomach issues, but I love a good single malt. I can only sip and enjoy, I can't get drunk or even buzzed really, but I do enjoy my little sips now and again. I was also reading a snapple cap, and do you know it's illegal to spray paint someone's cow in Texas? It's sad to know there had to be a court case to make that law. Oh well I'm in a frisky mood this morning if you can't tell. When I check a plant to make sure she's done I like to check multiple places under and on top of the flowers. I've learned recently the longer you veg a plant the faster the trichs seem to mature. That might just be empirical observation on these ladies or totally true, not sure yet. One thing I do know for sure is this Skunk#1 is looking more done every hour it seems. I'm almost 100% sure I won't be going more than 50-55 days with this girl. It's day 38 and she seems like she's done now. I have to get in there today and check over her trich's alot closer, but she is trying her best to finish as early as possible for me. I'm completely blown away by this plant. The Iced Grapefruit took getting topped in flower pretty well, she just kind of darkened in the spot as usual, and took right back off. The Blue O.G. and Sour Blueberry are coming along nice too. They both have quite a bit of stretch to them, and have started kicking out pistils like mad. The little top I took off of the I.G. is still not dry, the thing is so dense it wouldn't dry for me in the 2 1/2 days it's been cut. I had the thing above my hood where it's warm and pretty dry. It's just about there, but not yet. I'm not going to worry about getting it right, I just want to sample it and see where we are with the potency and all. By the look of the usb scope it should be amazing, but the trichs aren't the only things going on with that. When you put the flower up to your nose, it's lost alot of the sweet smell, but when you pull it apart some it's still there. Have a great day everyone. Peace out.

Man, I can go anytime. I've had a good life. Great kids and wife. No regrets. All I could do now is "f" that all up between now and when I do become plant food.

You're probably right about your observation. Longer veg times would allow the plant to be fully prepared to make the change over to flowering. Good roots and leaf development can provide the energy the plant needs to accelerate the trich growth during flowering. Makes sense, however I have not read any studies on it.

I notice the plants go through periods of high and low fragrance. Even in the jars, I can develop sweetness in smell and taste over a couple months. The 5-month cured Pineapple Exp taste like you dipped your tongue in sugar on the first hit. I think that's were a lot of growers get confused and think adding molasses or flavoring during flowering develops the flavors in the smoke. That's b.s. as you very well know. It's the strain and good environmental conditions that brings on the sweetness and a proper dry / cure that pushes those flavors to the max.

Have a great day myco, I have to go hire some more peeps, so I can keep spending my days above the ground in decent financial shape.

you guys are great, long time since I had this much fun on a forum

did`t notice the faster development on mature plant`s but sumthing I have to look in to

and I don't drink much either, been years since I was in to that, and never more then at weekends at party`s aso. two things I never will become is a alcoholic, don't even like the taste of beer, or a needle junky as I hate needles more then beer :D and never touch heroine (had a childhood friend who did in a early age`s so I had my wakeup call on that poison)

Ooh yea and I like your thinking prospering, I hate processed food to, never touch it, or fast food for that mater, not a vegi, tho grew up as one, as my mom is, so I had my first burger at the ages of 14 !!!!! do eat meat now, but really pork and only quality cow, I like fish more and do eat a lot of that, but Im also in a fishing nation, atleat it use to be

have a great day everybody :) tomorrow at non my 3 week`s vacation starts, so nothing can spoil my mood to day :)

I have to agree with this completely. I have a friend who is 2 years younger than me, but he drinks alot , and people always think he's the elder of us two. Makes me feel good, and I've been sick my whole life really, and will admit my features have gotten "Rough". Kind of funny to think of my res as the fountain of youth, LOL. Yeah, you guy's can be quite the crew. I have alot of fun when I come in here with you guys, thanks for that. Enjoy your VaCay Slip. Get some good employees Prosperian. Have a great day everyone. Peace out.

yea, I guess its not only the brain activity it slows down, but also the aging, and it also keep me fit, once stopped for a few years, was working in another part of the country, did gain 10kg and I did nothing different

so it keep me happy, keep me young, and fit, make me sleep well, make me use time on my plant`s and hobbies, instead of crap (and no I dont own a smart phone, hate em, I can easily wait until I get home to Etc. visit RIU and also see it on a 24" screen, the phone I have don't even have a camera, sucks, but I cant find a decent mobile with out it being a smartphone it seem`s :( last year I was at a newyear party, half the people used more then half the time looking in to there screens, boring party)

ps. only one thing I hate more then smart phones, reality TV

Like i said earlier my eyes have gone out on me some, and the last thing I want to do is stare at my dang phone and try to do crap on-line, are you kidding me. I know some people have to for work, and all that, but on my personal time I'm not going to be staring at my phone lost in it's glow. Reality T.V. can go where all the smartphones need to go and stay there as well. Never did get into all that stuff, my life is dramatic enough for me. All that aside I have some great news! I've been accepted as a tester for Gage Green!! I'll be testing new crosses for them, and letting them know how they turn out. I'll keep a grow log here as well so all you guys will have the dope on the strains before anybody else. M4K over at Gage Green is a really great guy, and for giving me this opportunity I'm gonna work my butt off, so this will be a great grow no matter what guys, so stick around. I'll of course be starting a new thread for the grow, but I'll post a link for sure so anyone who's interested can follow along. I'm so pumped about this, and i think you guys will get excited too, once you see these girls growing. Their genetics are really just out of this world I.M.O. The Grape Stomper, and Cindy Le Pew are just 2 of the myriad of possibilities of greatness. They have a small Grape Stomper series including one called Lemon Stomper that I think would be great for someone with a pain issue as the terpene lemonene has been shown to have significant results on pain and many other maladies. I've been doing some research on terpenes and what they have to offer for different ailments, and it almost seems like if you get good enough, and maybe with a little luck you can come up with a profile of what a plant can help with just by giving it a thorough sniff. Break a flower open and get all in there, and you can get an idea of what you're working with as far as what the strain has to offer in medicinal benefits. Each terpene or smell has different ailments it's more suited for, and therefore you can tell with some accuracy what the flower you're smelling will do for you. I'm not going to get all into it(as I'm not 100% sure of all the details and nuances of it yet), I really think it's a good subject for a patient to be looking into though. I just wanted to share really that I've been excepted as a tester of genetics for GGG. I can't tell everyone how happy I am. I was having a really good day before. It's gone into the extraordinary category now I think. When the wheels start turning on everything I'll let you guys know and get a link up to the thread I'm gonna start for the grows if I haven't already. Get ready for Dank everyone! Peace out.

my IG never really keeps the smell either after chop. smells great before but once it is dry it has lost a ton. super dense though and i second you on everything you have said about it. heres a small one.

That's a really nice plant Green S. My flowers haven't swelled that much yet, but I do have a pretty frosty pheno so far, happy with that. I'm sure after a good cure the smell will come back out quite nicely. Alot of people will freak out when that initial smell disappears, but I know if you have your cure game locked down you'll be just fine. After I had the whole cure mastered to a degree I've never had a hay or off smell, sure some strains definitely smell better than others, but for the most part any decent modern hybrid smells pretty good. There's just too much competition for any decent breeder to be releasing strains that smell like @$$, unless they're just knock you down in potency, and then it's just a matter of time until they successfully cross it with something that brings in some flavor, and doesn't weaken the strength. I'll be posting the new thread for the Gage really soon. I think I'm gonna start a discussion thread about the genetics and other people's experiences with them first, and then start a grow log when I get the seeds, as I'm not sure what I'm getting yet to grow. The possibilities are endless, and it has me excited to say the least. I think everyone will be amazed with the grow. I'll have my new, heavier than ever amended soil for them to enjoy, and the new hood I have spreading the light better than ever, should also make em happy. They have some land-race genetics that are really nice, but I don't think they're testing those right now. I think it's mostly crosses from more well known hybrids, but I'll know soon enough. I don't care what they send me to be honest, I know it will be dank if it's coming from Gage Green. I'm sure I'll be able finish what I have in veg, if not it'll get gifted out, I refuse to kill healthy plants just bad karma. I know for sure my faster strains will be staying with me for meds, the Cindy99 isn't going anywhere, and if she impresses me as much in flower and finished product as this one has in veg, I'm gonna keep her around for a while. The vigor of this plant so far is more impressive than the Skunk#1 I have and the leafs are humungous. Thanks for stopping in everybody, have a blessed day. Peace out.

Thanks, i aprreciate the positive feedback. I hear you on the curing situation, I'm all good there. My sweet black angel smells dreamy in comparison, so does my papaya. Must just be my pheno, i only got one bean as a freebie and kept it cause it yields some big dense buds. I can be pretty picky sometimes though now that I am able to be.

Congrats on the Gage tester status. You deserve it bro. :bigjoint:
I'm not ashamed to say I really owe this to you my friend. If it wasn't for you I would have never knew they were looking and submitted a resume of sorts. I think this will be a journey that will have quite the story to tell later. Thanks again bro, see you around in the password only testers area. :mrgreen:

I hear what you're sayin about being picky, I'm the same way and I don't have a dispensary to go to and pick up the latest strain or anything. I'm just kind of critical on strains, and my grows for the most part. I have no problem admitting when I mess up at all, but on the other hand if genetics are crap I'm pretty quick to be honest about it. I'm not mean, if the plant still has a nice potency, but doesn't yield or smell good, I'll at least point out the fact that it's strong. I'll still get around to saying it doesn't yield or smell good though, just politely I guess. Alot of people grow one strain from someone and either praise the breeder or curse em. I really try to be impartial and take each strain separately, and for what it is. A friend of mine came over yesterday and dropped off some of the fruitiest smoke I've had in a while. He wouldn't tell me what was in it as far as genetics, only saying I've never grown it. Really packs a punch, and my eyes haven't got red like this in years. I know I won't find a seed if he grew it, but maybe I can get a clone of his new lady If I'm nice:eyesmoke:. Peace and Love.

Puffin on the sample this morning from the Iced Grapefruit. I have to say the potency and taste are pretty nice. The taste actually has some of the fruitiness coming through on the exhale, and the potency is quite admirable. I have to say I'm pretty surprised at how this came out for just hanging and drying it. The taste isn't all that on the inhale, but the exhale has some fruity in it. Well it's day 39 and the Skunk#1 almost looks completely finished. Other than a couple of pistils still receding into the calyx's, but that's it for the most part. The Menage a Trois just keeps swelling up without much end in sight for that one. Her pistils are still nice and healthy not showing alot of signs of an imminent finish for her. The Iced Grapefruit is doing a little of both, with her swelling up, but she's also showing alot of signs of the finish coming up. The blue O.G. has put on at least 6 inches in stretch in the last 2 weeks, with the Sour Blueberry going a good 4- 4 1/2 inches. They're both doing their thing with a purpose in mind it seems. I really think the Skunk#1 will finish around day 45-50 with no problems. Again I could kick myself for not cloning that baby when I had a chance, what a nice plant to have for a mother. I need to get back my 4 site cloner from my friend before my Gage Green gear arrives as I know I'm gonna find a killer mother to keep, so the Skunk#1 thing doesn't seem so bad after keeping it all in perspective. Wow that sample is just yummy, I can't believe how nice it is with no cure on it. Half way through the 30 day cook on my new Super Soil recipe, I think it will be pretty killer if I keep the ratios right and don't burn one of my babies up with it. I'm definitely going a little over 30 days I think just to mellow it out that much more. I tried to create a complete buffet for my ladies with this mix, having almost every element needed in the mix in 2 different forms or more. I really put some thought and research into it, so I think it should be fine, and if it's as good as I hope I'll give it out to people to give it a try. Of course you'll see and read about the results so if it sucks everyone will know. On the other hand if it rocks you'll see first hand results, and the recipe will be a little more desirable. Well I guess I better get to the rounds this morning, and give everyone some time and attention. Peace and Love.

So I noticed it got dead in here when the pics slowed down. I thought i would breathe a little life into the place with some crappy photos from my phone.
7-12-13 All the ladies.jpgA quick glance of all my ladies flowering away! 7-8-13 Blue O.G..jpg7-12-13 Blue O.G..jpg This is the Blue O.G., the first one is from 4 days ago, and the other one is from this morning. That sucker can grow, but it's not lanky between the nodes it's staying tight as you can see. She'll fill in nicely;-)

7-12-13 Sour Blueberry satrting to flower.jpgHere's a crappy photo of the Sour Blueberry and how she's beginning to flower. She's alot like the Blue O.G. in ways or at least they're flowering at about the same rate.

7-12-13 Iced Grapefruit.jpg7-12-13 Menage a Trois.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1.jpg These last three are the Iced Grapefruit, Menage a Trois, and Skunk#1 in that order left to right. I'm going to get under the Blue O.G. and Sour Blueberry this weekend and give them a trim. I like to see what gonna stretch and get some light first as you never know in some cases. I've cut entire branches off before if they don't get where I like em in stretch. I know it sounds like a waste, but I think the waste would be in the energy being fed to a crap branch. Oh well, just my opinion. I hope this can satisfy some until I get the better cam this weekend. I promise I'll make it up to everyone with a sexy natural light photoshoot of the Skunk#1 and maybe the Menage a Trois. All depends on my time schedule this weekend. Well I guess it's time to go back to the glamorous life of a ganja farmer, and scrub my reservoirs, and mop out the veg closet and such. Have a great day everyone. Peace and love.

This is a great jam, give it a listen.[video=youtube;M79KsXmsvec]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M79KsXmsvec[/video]

Here's a report with pics that don't completely suck, besides the color. Ha Ha. Ok like I said before it's day 39 for the Skunk#1, Menage a Trois, and Iced Grapefruit. So here's some pictures of those girls. I have to say the Skunk#1 is just rock hard, and the Menage a Trois is swelling past expectations.
7-12-13 Iced Grapefruit ouch!.jpg7-12-13 Menage a Trois.jpg7-12-13 Menage a Trois 2.jpg7-12-13 Menage a Trois 3.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 2.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 3.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 4.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 5.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 6.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 7.jpg7-12-13 Skunk#1 8.jpg7-12-13 skunk#1.jpg The first pic being the top I had to take out of the Iced grapefruit. The others are a mix of the three. The other ones I would like to show you are the Blue O.G. and the Sour Blueberry. They're some pretty impressive girls, and are coming right along in flower.

7-12-13 Blue O.G. 2.jpg7-12-13 Blue O.G. 4.jpg7-12-13 Sour Blueberry 2.jpg7-12-13 Sour blueberry 4.jpg7-12-13 Sour Blueberry 5.jpg The Blue O.G. is a friggin bush and is waiting for me to get in there this weekend and trim her up some. The Sour Blueberry needs it pretty bad too. I like to give em some time and show me who's doing what before the 12/12 chop though. Alright everyone I hope you enjoy the better pictures than the ones I had this morning from my phone. Have a great weekend peoples. Peace and Love.

Yea, it does look like G.W.S. quite a bit now that I look at it again. I was thinking the last photo of the girls with flowers looks a little like Kosher Kush without enlarging it. These ladies are gonna be some nice meds. The Trichs on the Skunk#1 are pretty extreme, with some of the flowers looking totally encrusted, and quite beautiful. It's starting to acquire a nice regal look about her now that she's finishing up. The Menage a Trois which is the one you were saying looks like gws, is still packing on weight. I don't know when she'll finish.I have a wrenching headache I'm gonna get off this eye torture device for the night. Have a great evening everyone. Peace and Love.
