Reef's Perpetual TGA-THC Lovefest - Come All Ye Cannabis Lubbers Budporn Be Here

Haha new ID good idea :)

Getting ready to go check on the girls... flowering time starts sometime this week i'm just waiting for a couple to get a little bigger... the aces are all ready to flower nice big stems...

i'm moving a couple of LEDs into a closet and moving 3 girls in there so I have more space in the main cab... already running out and haven't even hit flower :)

i'll go clear my box
Links in the inbox. Hit me up when you check it out.
Didn't mean to send the message from "there" just had to find the link you sent me.
Stay up playa

It all gets going tomorrow... feel a lot better on space now... they have a little breathing room now that I moved 3 into the closet. Gonna have a nice hps vs hps+led vs led comparison coming up -- although it'd be better if they were all from the same clone. So far a/c seems to be handling the 600w no problemo.

HPS & LEDs, living together like friends! this HPS just went up tonight

Welcome to the family mamacita

All LED girls

Believe this is around 3 weeks in-ish... these girls are small and will probably only get 1-2z combined, but it'll be a nice little preview to tide me over until the big harvest is done :)

Ran out of space in the main cab and had to set up the closet for fun :) Lot more room in the main cab now

Looking good Reef are you doing a comparison with the Leds and the Hps just wondering why you didn't put the Hps in the middle surrounded by the Leds

LOL my bad was a little stoned when I wrote that last post cant wait to see the comparison LMFAO
 
Keep getting better man! Better and Better!

edit- This a better green for you?


Did an aspirin foliar and they LOVED it brother.
3x81mg aspirin in one gallon water. Crushed it up and let it dissolve about 20 minutes and sprayed on before lights off.
Next day with lights on it was a new day!
I recommend it.

Excited as hell about this Ace Of Spades. Got such a pretty purple on it

It's the salicylic acid in the aspirin that does it. You can also add aspirin to hydro ressies. Helps a ton with broad mite toxicity damage as well as other problems. It's been used for years in the horticulture industry.

does it have any benefit other than preventing mights? never heard of that
It does NOT prevent anything.

The very very basic version: The SA triggers the plants immune system to activate. This will often help a stressed plant. Broad mites inject a toxin into the plants as they feed. The SA helps the plant fight the effects of it and overcome it.

If your plants are strong and healthy you shouldn't need to add SA/aspirin.

(May you never need it. May your garden never get mites!)

It's that new ish brother. You know me. Always looking to improve.
But basically, the salycylic acid which is the active ingredient in aspirin tricks the plant into think its under attack pathogen wise, thus tricking it into prepping to heal itself.
Does the same thing in humans and I found enough scholarly info to deem it beneficial so I tried it and I'm glad I did.
You can see the difference I'm sure right?

The day before you we're telling me that they lacked that darker green, which they did...
Only thing I did between now and then that I did different was an aspirin foliar.
All that color setting in over one dark period and it's sticking nicely. The leaves even seem to be shimmering now.

It's not a pesticide tho, it's simple salycylic acid at work.

Better & Better is the new M.O

Nice! What's the recipe? And yeah I meant mites come on now I'm high ;)

a gentlemen of great repute may be sending me a girl scout cookies cut soon... we'll see if he does and it makes it and survives! That'd be pretty bad ass I've never even heard of anyone in texas having it but I don't have great connections either maybe it's all the range around and I just don't know :) if it ends up happening it'll be my first elite cut! I got sent a genius cut when I first started growing several years back but it didn't survive the trip.

Either 1x325mg(regular strength) tablet per gallon or 3x81mg(low dose) tablets per gallon.

I used the 3x81mg. Crushed them up like I was gonna rail em, and let them sit in a gallon jug for a good 20-30 minutes, shaking it up from time to time so they dissolved. Sprayed them just before lights out and the difference was like that when I looked at them the next day.

But thats damn good news getting that legit GSC cut. I'm already ready to see you make some TGA porn with whatever you choose.
Seems like logically that's the next step for you. A good connect it hard to comeby bcuz when ppl are good, they're usually good you know...
Only way to climb the ladder it seems is to become the man, start your own collective, and go from there.

But I'm trying to be the new hype lol. I'm PRAYING that I get a damn male via my Bay 11.
Growth wise up till this point it's a keeper, so if it's a male I'm gone let him get him some :)
But this I'd say around the winter time I should be growing something unique. "Strain Hunting" so to speak.

PS, I been spraying everything lol. Diatomaceous earth foliar I been using to make sort of a home made "Protekt" product.
When DE dries its supposed to form a protective coating. Last advice I got for mites was Azamax and Neem oil.

"Better & Better".

Oh shiiiiit I hadn't even thought about that... I don't really have a lot of interest in breeding or making seeds at all, BUT... with a GSC cut it definitely might be interesting to cross it with some tga males if I find any interesting ones.... GSC x mickey kush? :) and would be an interesting cross with ace due to it's fruitiness... Girl Scout Qushies? The mind boggles...

from my understanding it would be hard for you to get anything stable with a male tga, you will get lots of variation... be better off using an IBL male of your choice on a tga strain. i dont even know what the fuck i am talking about i just know you will get lots of variation :eyesmoke:

GSC X Mickey Kush = Disneyland lol. How you like that name lol? GSC x Qush might be a grand idea for girl scout qushies tho, given the possible taste matches:)

Seems to be all in the name! I know that name has been BIG on selling me! A was gonna do Ace of Spade with Darkstar and call it The Joker, but both came out female...
All the more reason to buy more of both. We'll see how they smoke after harvest and what kinda match they might make for sure tho.
I was just thinking that adding purple kush and mazar i shariff to the TGA genepool of Ace of Spades would be some bombness.
Surprised Sub isn't already working with Mazar...but who knows what the genius might be up to behind closed doors.

Variation is ok if you're looking for elite cuttings and not worried about selling seeds :) if i ever did cross it it would just be for shits and giggles so I wouldn't really care. not trying to get GSC in seed form I could order it from a breeder for that and could take cuttings for duplicates :) not even sure I ever would just a crazy thought -- my grow's got two main goals... finding elite genetics and maximizing yields is the goal :)
