The GreenSanta Grow

well I keep all the spacebomb to myself if that says something.

Not really going for anything atm, just growing seeds hehe... I have enough seeds to last me a little while so right now I am growing them out, then I ll know what to look for. I gotta say that it seems like every round, something happens that diminishes the yield, and being that they yield so small I often keep them on the side row.

Right now I like to always have one in the room because I dont like to runout I would never dedicate my whole room to it. I am still hoping for a good yielding spacebomb smelling pheno from any of my crosses.


EDIT Dont forget that I had only 2 spacebomb seeds to start with, 1 fem and 1 male. So Its nothing like professional breeding haha!! who knows maybe I crossed 2 tiny bomb pheno together and now I have my own tiny bomb line I dont know hehe

This plant that I am revegging is special, soooo special. I really hope she re-vegs, I have about 3 out 5 attempts that were succesful in the past.

I am almost certain that she is a Spacebomb x Dr. Grinspoon. I am thinking of calling her Space Grin

I thought I harvested her a tad early but she wasnt that far off. She inherited the quick flowering time of SpaceBomb, but kept all of her mother's attributes.

The other plant in the same container was from the other Dr.G pheno that I didnt like, and she was loaded with nanners ... another reason why I chopped her early (I wanted to make sure this baby wouldnt go to seeds, not sure I could reveg a plant that is trying to produce seeds!)

But this plant had no nanners whatsoever ! (yet!? lol)

So she is very promising, oh yeah I forget the most important thing, how's the smoke! Well, I am almost scared to smoke too much of her, and I can take it!

The smell when you crack the JAR is incredible, (see DR> G 's description, it's identical) very lemony. Taste very nice too but I smoked most of it in the vape and it's not as tasty as some other strain, good taste just not a lot of it.

Yesterday I made a water bong that would fit on my vapor daddy (by the way, do not buy a vaporizer with a water bong as the water takes MOST of the flavor, I will not vaporize with water again...) and I had been smoking for a bit, nothing unusual, but I loaded the chamber twice with the Space Grin and after those 2 massive bong hit I gotta say I was so high in my head I felt like I was on speed or something. If there is a thc profile responsible for paranoia, she has A LOT of it lol.

Not for everyone, not the kind of buds I would be smoking all the time either... I love Sativas but for daily smoke I prefer hybrids 50-50




That's it enjoy the pics and Happy Growing Everyone!

Nice man, you have been after a quick flowering grinspoon for ages if i remember right...

I am after dank.

The Quest for Dank... aren't we all?

The quality of my pics will not be great for the next few weeks. I apologize for that.

My woman took off with her camera again! (I guess I should have my own camera...) So I really can't get this one to take nice crisp pictures, it's always blurred. Anyway, I had not shown room1 for a while, and I will have the good camera in time for the best part

So in there I now have

1 Cheese in the corner ................................succesfully been cloned
1 SB X MED................................................succesfully been cloned and pollinated with (sbxmed quick pussy stink pheno)(she is going to be MASSIVE hehe)
1 SB X MED (quick pussy stink pheno).............succesfully been cloned (the youngest of the bunch, 10 gallons all to herself)
1 SB X GG .................................................
1 SB X NYCD .............................................pollinated with (sbxmed quick pussy stink pheno)

I had another Cheese#1, I moved it to the tent temporarily, only 5 plants in this room this time around.


I am debating whether to grow the second cheese#1, if anyone has grown cheese#1 I would love to have reviews, the seeds were given to me and no matter how nice it might be, it doesnt seem to be what I am looking for.

I am not sure about the SB X GG because I that's pretty much all I got to smoke right now and I am getting bored with it, I had one amazing pheno but again this is not what I am looking for.



SB X NYCD this bud is going to get huge


The tent, the SB X MED is so meaty down low it's not even funny, she will be a good smoke that's for sure. The other plant is the other Cheese#1, she is so purdy and healthy but I feel like it's the 11 weeks pheno and looking at the other one I have in room2 that is getting close to harvest, I am really not sure I want to wait 11 weeks for it!!


room2


Happy Growing everyone,
Green santa

I know I had said to myself that I wouldnt pollinate the SB X DR>G because I really wanted to make sure that it would reveg. Well I couldnt help myself. If the plant doesnt reveg, it's not a big deal I have many seeds to find her again and I am just seeing great genetic everywhere right now! So anyway I pollinated her with quick med pussy stink male last week before I scratched the male and today I am seeing seeds forming so if she doesnt reveg I ll have some great seeds anyway.

The goal is to get her to produce seeds and reveg all at once ... experimenting experimenting experimenting ... that's how we learn isnt?

On a different note, I have another male growing right now... REVOLUTION Reggae Seeds I had 4 seeds, 1 healthy seedling (I fuked up) and it was a male. So anyway, I am simply jumping on the CBD bandwagon, I want to create my own CBD rich strains. I figure within a couple years I ll probably get a testing kit and or get some of my stuff tested in a lab. I am just too curious and it's part of the hobby.

The regular Revolution by Reggae Seeds is the crossing of Kalijah and a female Dancehall #24, a strain that had been analyzed and found to have a 1:1 THC/CBD ratio. The plants are small and robust and don't need an awful lot of nutrients - cultivation is easy as pie. Revolution speeds through its flowering period within only 45-55 days and delivers weed with delicious aromas.

I wish I could have grown a female. Anyway, I am helping a couple people grow weed, they both have license to grow 1 outdoor plant and they each have a small greenhouse. I am growing Shark and Critical Mass for them. I set them up with some SS, the woman said <<last year I used miracle grow I was getting headaches everytime I smoked my weed<< lol. .. she is so stocked . Both were fem seeds and I will be cloning each strains for indoor in the Fall. I will try to use the REVOLUTION pollen on those as well...

I am def not going to go all out with the CBD in my small grow space, right now I have Dieseltonic and SkunkHaze in the budding room just showing pistils. I will wait and see if it does anything to me and my friends that are old and hurting!

GreenSanta

I wish I had cloned this one, the runt SB X CHEMO. She has been completely purple for about 2 weeks, I scoped her yesterday she looks like she has another few days to go at least. Nice plant, super frosty (too bad I dont have the good canon...)

SB X NYCD mini frosty blockhead pheno (clone cloned)

SkunkHaze 12/12 from seed


I dont know if you can see on the pics but I have 3 out of 4 switch turned on on each AF-600s and also 2 clusters have died on the 336x3 (have replacement parts...) My electricity bills have been significantly lower recently only from not using my lights at full power and have not noticed any adverse effects.



BTW, Another reason for my electric bill to be lower was that I had been running room1 with 11hours of light for 4-5 months, again with no adverse effects. However, everything in room 1 is well into budding now and I decided to bring the timer back to 12hours.

Another thing I have been doing too is one Kessil is on for only 5 hours of the day, the other KEssil and the 336x3 share the same timer and run 10 hours a day. enough lights in the room from the 2 AF-600s that I dont worry about anything really, 10 hours of intense light and 2 hours of risidual lights seem to produce very similar results.


Happy Cheap Growing everyone (BTW have not spent any money on my grow for a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time)
Green Santa

I lied people! I did spend money recently on my EZ strainer !

I posted this same post in French Cannoli thread.

Here is another way to go about making hash for the small operations, and for people that dont like to spend a lot of money

Since I posted earlier on this thread regarding the EZ strainer that I had ordered on ebay, I thought I would leave feedback on how it works for me.

I also have a 200microns nylon bag (from the same supplier, I wouldnt order the bag again but the EZ strainers are wicked) to take most of the green matter out. So I use 2 sizes, 200 and 75.

I got lazy and I didnt feel like doing this all day, all I wanted was some hash for now! I ll spend more time when I do it buds pretty soon.

Here is what I do half hour later, I go and break the hash into little crumbles as it dries out, I dry in very dry environment with lots of airflow (just how it is in my basement...) and it seems to work well and less pain than freezing ... I dont get the powdery texture (I have not done it often maybe I could) like Matt Rize technique but I can dry it fast enough to make a nice cannoli.

EDIT The tool I am using to break it apart works amazingly well, I just went and did it again and everything is almost in powder about an hour after scrapping it off the 75 microns! It's the utensil you use for Chinese fondue! I am guessing you want to have the hash on glass too.

That's ah spicy ah meatball!

Looks great my man!

Awesome stuff green..............are you ever gonna fix those led panels^^with the blown modules????

hehe Psuagro I probably will, I cleaned the dehumidifiers yesterday, I am on cleaning mode so when I get to cleaning the lights, I will take a look. . I don't mind it right now because it's cheaper on power lol.

I was really busy at the time when they died off and when I told Brent from fero he asked what the problem was and I really didnt have time to look and I was going away for a couple weeks and knowing that he was no longer in grow lights business I wanted to make sure I would get something lol. I simply said it was the driver because I figured it was the most expensive part and I just took a guess. So I do have a driver, if driver is the problem lol.


BTW, regarding the EZ strainer, I want to let you guys know that yes you do lose some if you dont have a 45 microns bag or screen, but from what I have read, you lose mostly immature trichomes, not a big deal to me. Next time I will keep the water containing all the 45s and do the gravity thing, remove most of the water and use the rest in a soup or something. I dont like to waste resin

@Beef: Spicy is right! I hate some you guys eat buds sometimes or am I the only one lol? Most time when I harvest a plant I like to know what it taste and I ll eat a couple popcorn buds. Most pot is really spicy in case you didnt know!

Well your shit must stink. .pun intended

I eat bud on the regular. Me and the Mrs make personal size brownies in a muffin tin, and put about a gram of finely chopped herb in them. Before you throw the tray in the oven, put a reese peanut butter cup sitting on top of the brownie batter, and lightly push down and push it into the brownie mix a bit. The brownie mix will actually cook up overtop the reese cup, so it looks mostly hidden! They are absolutely delicious.

I've just eaten cured buds too, when I was younger I habitually chewed on stems.

YUMMM hehe,. .. I shall make myself some brownies right now! But I am doing this thing I try not to spend a penny this month other than my usual bills. Its painful!! lol. I eat all kinds of food we ve had for a while and cleaning up the freezer and of course tons of fresh food from the garden! It's nice to save some $$ but brownies are better Ill resist for now...

Yeah I really dont like cured buds, I eat them while I harvest, nice and fresh!

You are hell of a grower!! keep the awesome job!!

My regards from southamerica!!

tOO BAD i dont have the T3i right now... she deserves better than the point and shoot!! anyway i stuck the camera on a tripod and got ok pictures this time...


SB X CHEMO #2 (so tempted to reveg her...BTW, dr.g is revegging successfully and the seeds are still maturing as well!! I can see new growth already!!!!!!!)


SB X Medicine





Happy growing everyone,
Green Santa

looking GOOD AS ALWAYS !

successfully revegged SB x Dr. Grinspoon AKA Dr. SpaceSpoon ... I can count at least 8 seeds that I am seeing in the buds ( I pollinated her a few days after being back to 24hours light schedule)

See the new growth right at the stem ,.. I have never had such an easy plant to reveg.

So far she is quite a success story, considering she was a volunteer in the garden ( yes she fell from a bud and decided to do her thing all by herself!!) the ultimate test will be to flower a couple clones to maturity and if still no nanners I think I have a champion.

My male Revolution from Reggae Seeds


Where is he!!! 12 hours a day


in the cabinet, most seedlings are spacebomb and spacebomb x Haoma...

will be posting pics of a pretty nice SB x Haoma pretty soon and also i decided to keep the cheeses#1 because i have one that has a VERY pleasant smell ( and its cloned x 2)

Happy Growing everyone,
GreenSanta

I'm waiting for a real life 'tomacco' type hybrid between sweet, sweet mary-jane and tomatoes.

If they could do it on The Simpsons I'm sure it's possible... lol
