North bay clone check

First I wanna say What up RIU thanks for helping me on my journey, we can all grow together. So I want to find out which of the north bay clones are the best for all ascpects so I am growing out as many as I can. I started six months ago with the first six and now have many others I will list off as they gow..
So I started by buying a 1000W w/hortolux bulb, a sun master reflector and a magnetic ballast I was running 6 plants at a time for two consecutive grows with clones from the biggest dispensary I know of. One called Organicann in Santa Rosa, I grow for myself and my medicinal purposes only. I started growing in my closet using the one light for one month veg w/topping and 9 weeks flower.
Im staring this thread and then updating to date, This is the end of my second grow and I have just upgraded to a perpetual system now I will get to that soon.
This grow I had;
BUBBLEGUM - A very nice shapely plant. Grew with no trouble stayed to a very manageable height while creating about 12 equal sized 7-9 gram buds. Smell very sweet, bubblegumish... Nice uppity clear headed high, almost too clear headed, I didn't feel I could get high as I wanted on this herb. The nugs however had great grower advantage b/c the stayed extremely heavy and moist with resin. Pretty big producer about 90g
WHITE RHINO - One I was initially most excited about turned out a little grassy not a very strong or pungent odor. The trichs where there but grew in a very average fashion, no problems but definetaly not a top runner. High was also fairly average but made you want to smoke more. 85g
BLUE DREAM - A real winner, grew voraciously however stretched like a sunofabitch. Grew till be literally as tall as me when stood up and I am 6'6'. Wanted more and more water and nutes was an amazing plant with two huge nugget towers and a fair amount of smaller nugs. High is one of my favorites with a strongly sativa feel that makes one want to run a mile. I will definately choose this one again.90g
SWEET TOOTH - Another one of my favorites a very sweet smelling plant that finished a beautiful purple. It has a flavor that was extremely unique, sweet, floral, with a cotton candy hint. Grew into four monster colas very fast. I didn't have any problems with this one and would definately be willing to do again. Produced 95gs
CHEESE - Very problematic, gangly looking plant, low producer but extremely high quality buds. They smell pungent and tangy like aged cheeses, a good bubbly high with sticky dense buds. 55gs
Pineapple Thai - Solid plant all the way down the trail. Grew large but not unnecessarily tall. The buds have a nice sativa feel but was just a little weaker than the blue dream. However, the largest producer around with some very dank nuggs. 115gs

Here is the blue Dream on the left and sweet tooth on the right. These two where my favorite.
Also this is some of them a few weeks before I chopped

So unfortuneatly I don't have any pictures of my first grow but these were the strains. Also as this was my first harvest I had not really tuned in my grow techniques so all of these plant could have been better but I still got to see what they offered ;
Black Domina - Spindly plant that stretched like armstrong, definitely not ideal for my situation but could be a very vigorous plant. High was ok but fairly middle of the road
Scarlet fire - Mango cross, Awesome yield, huge nugs, chuncky trichomes. Pleasure to grow, a very strong plant great upbeat high
Bubba Kush - Low producer of very nice crystlly buds with a really up lifting energetic high. Everybody knows and loves Bubba
Lemon Kush - Also not my favorite or very lemony at all. I will not grow this again.
Purpl AK47- Did not turn purple, but actually a decent producer, A downer high with some couch lock.

awesome post!

i just visited organicann recently and they had like 50 varieties of clones, from $10+. not a bad deal.

So I just upgraded pretty big when the plant limit laws were ruled unconstitutional... Right now I have a closet about 7'x2'x9'ft tall. I built some tables to cut the room into two; one with 70inches of height and one with 40 for vegging. I am running a 1000W HPS hortilux on a a 4foot rail. It has a 4in inline vortex sucking air into the attic as well as two small 6in normal fans. The bottom vegging chamber is an 8bulb 4ft T5 that is vegging 8 plants and some clones. I grow in soil and use a combination of nutes like floranova, cal mag, root 66, bud candy... I currently have about 14 strains that I am trying out to pick some good mothers for the next couple of goes.
The strains I am running this time are;
Four that I got from a friend on the East coast the rest I purchased at Organicann again.
Chem Dawg
Double Underdog
Grape Ape
North Cali Cat Piss All of the one above are from the NE and flowering

Head Band
Blue Dream
Hash Plant
Green Crack
Mr. Nice
Sweet Island Romulan
Hog
Triple Kush
Rock Lock
Afghan Kush



Unfortuneately they also have root aphids(I think) and a little powder mildew from the club that kinda sucks they can't keep a clean house with as many clones as they are movin...

So like I said above I got a case of root aphids that spread to both chambers, luckily enough I had this problem before and I used the same three organic pesticides starting water at 1oz/gal and gradually increasing it to 2oz/gal. Azatrol, Master Nursery pest oil, and neem oil. It probably has been two weeks since I started seeing them and it has been about three days since I have seen any. It definitely doesn't mean that they are gone but I might have beat them. I am also treating mildly with serenade another, organic compound, for small amounts of powder mildew which I am not pumped about so early in the game.

thats pathetic they have infestation over there! you should let that clone lady know, she seems to enjoy the clone department and keeping it nice.

good luck on clearing all that up. Lots of strains, nice! should keep your medicine in full supply.

its nice that the limits were deemed unconstitutional but we will never really know how that works out until the first couple of arrests.

it was crazy last night I had a cop knock on my door looking for a neighbor who had a warrant. I was mid-joint, oh well!

crazy world man stay safe and stay high

have you heard of WOW. i am trying to find info on it. i have it now and will be running it soon. I am from your neck of the woods

No never heard of WOW what is it?

Just set up full cycle!!! I have two groups of plants in flowering seperated by 4.5weeks, I have a first set of clones already transplanted and vegging hard,I also ripped another set of the second group in flowering. I am 1 month from harvest and then I can just keep the cycle running. I have to say I am pumped and ready to see my investment start paying off. I will put pics up when I can. One thing I am doing well is using everyinch of room in that closet. I dont see how I could grow anymore from what I got

SO it has been a while and I am about 2 weeks from harvest from my first test crop in this new set up and they look pretty good but not great. I put too many plants in to begin with plus I am not sure how the light rail is affecting the actual amount of lumens being taken in... So the smallest plants are 2nd generation clones just having been transplanted, the slightly larger ones that are about one month a head of them but are starting to shoot up. The larger plants are either 49days or 14 days in. The ones that are farther along I had to LST pretty severley and was not too happy with the results. The plants were kinda convoluted and had a odd shapes without huge colas. I had to LST these b/c of height issues and the plants were already a little too big for effective LST I think.

Sorry that was just the bottom veg part here are the flowering pix

Beauutiful, do you got any lollipop tips? Im planen on do it on my next grow.

Lollipop any of the buds that are not goin to make it to at least a gram or two. I take off a ton of the budding sites at the bottom that would just make spindly, puffy, nugs. The plants just put the energy that would have gone to the small flowering sites and put them on the top for bigger, harder, frostier nugs.
