Old man Prey has a noir strain… I think he back crossed it too. I was promised a cherry noir clone from Kap about 10 years ago… maybe 5. Okay 2 or 3 when I do the math but still! Right?? He’s Canadian tho so hes a little slower then us Americans. Can’t hold that against thier French ancestors and what not! Peut tu ?
Loco holds on pluckem! There’s a storm coming…and it’s coming for moi!

@LoCoRock, um no. i did not pay that for seeds. I paid $30 for 3 beans from Pacific Seed Bank. looks like it will pay off in spades…
here’s a quick shot from the door to the flower room. Ceiling height in there is right about 6’6". You can see why i love my vertical cool tube.
I’m trying to figure out Gimp photo editing software. My camera shoots pictures in RAW format. Gimp doesn’t process RAW. So i am debating on getting the new photoshop elements.

sampled the Berry Noir last night. She’s confusing - heavy indica couchlock with a racy sativa high. I think she needs a few more days. the taste was smooth and yummy though. she’s flushed enough.

the berry Noir turned out wonderfully well. She starts very heavy, slumped in a chair unable to get up to get another drink heavy, then matures into a wild mischievous high that makes me want to get into trouble. Fun stuff. At 10 weeks she’s ridiculous, but at 8.5 weeks she reasonable.
here’s some of the Blueberry Yum Yum due to come down this coming weekend

here’s the Blueberry Yum Yum at 9 1/2 weeks at harvest. I hope the potency improves. The flavor is straight blueberries.

Blueberry Yum Yum
Ludacris was right to make a song inspired by this strain. The taste is straight fresh blueberries. I harvested this round at 9 1/2 weeks and the last plant came down right at 10 weeks. The buzz is somewhat heavy starting out but then lifts you up a bit and gets really fun and weird. I smoked a tester with 3 friends last night. I didn’t finish the J. I giggled all the way home talking to myself. She’s so much fun and gives a little pain relief too. She’s made it into one of my top 5 favorites.

flower room shots
Tokyo Snow. she’s a big girl almost 5 feet tall. Put here in a flower a week ago and she’s getting her stretch on. You can make out where the wall stops and meets the ceiling, that’s the 6’6" mark
and a couple bud shots from the unknown strain. I found the beans in a baggie labeled Rez’s Chemdog F2 bx. If that is indeed what they are, I’m gonna seriously do my happy dance/ But I realize they might be something else.

sorry it’s been a minute since I’ve been here. the holidays kept me busy and I got to see my son in New Orleans
what a great time. First of all it was great to see my son. It’s been too long. Second, it felt so good to be back in New Orleans. The vibe is chill and wonderful and the food is fantastic. Dinner at Emeril’s was mind blowing and very very expensive, but worth every penny to be able to share that with my son. Billy Strings does not disappoint/ Great show. the NYE shopw was 3 sets. Did some very old bluegrass tunes (Doc Watson, Stanely Brothers) and covered some Pearl Jam. Great time.
then i wrecked my car on the way home. FML
it’ll take a while to edit all the pics. ill work on it

thank you, sir. me too
ok, I’m going to set up an experiment. My family is going on a cruise next month. i’m at a bit of a loss as to taking care of my garden while I am gone. Usually my brother does it but he and his wife will be on the boat too. So I am setting up an autowater/feed thing using Heavy 16 nutes. I have all the bottles except the roots and that’s on the way and I’m getting the Bud A&B in gallon size. Im not using the foliar. my hope is to get my veg plants to need feeding daily or every other day. So Ive also ordered some small water pumps and will set up a timer to run once per day for a time I have to yet figure out to get the pots fed with a 20% runoff. I’ll have to figure out a gutter system for drainage and collections system too.
stay tuned

Look into blumats if you still have time…its basically a valve that is triggered by soil moisture…you still run your pump or gravity feed. The blumat depending on which you buy as a constant drip rate or variable flow.

sorry it’s been a minute since I’ve posted. lots going on in the struggle here at the Freakshow.
well, things are moving along slowly. The plants that finished early have been flushed to zero ppm coing out of the pot, harvested the top buds and the rest will be burned. I have NO FUCKING IDEA why Heavy 16 ,akes a 9 week plant finish at 6 weeks. but the trichs were cloudy going amber at 6 weeks before the buds had finished growing. WTF?!?!?!?
anyway, to make matters worse, I was cleaning the 4 foot cool tube and replacing bulbs and broke the damn thing. Called the local hydro store to see if they could locate a replacement. The called back and said no. LOL. SO I got online and after rewording search terms a few terme\s found some on Ebay. Ironically, I think i paid 300 for the first one i bought. I picked up 2 (I want to have a replacement for when i break the next one) for about 75 eahc noiw that they aren’t being made any longer. I don’t have the means to completely rework the lighting system in the flower room at this time. I’m looking at getting 2 8 bar mint white lights from Mammoth but tht’s $2K away…
so I am back to AN: feed, water, feed, water. In my misadventure with feeding amounts, at 15 ml’s, AN produces delicious buds with lower potency and very fluffy. At 20 potency increases. at 25 things are damn near great. So I’m gonna run with that/ .Other things I’ve learned: the afghan based genetics are somewhat light feeders for me. I noticed if i overfeed in veg, the plants becomes stunted, stays small, produces popcorn and are very nute sensitive. So with this in mind, I’m popping some beans and marching onward…

Hey thanks for your support, my friend. I need to get a decent crop going so I won’t be using the Heavy 16 anytime real soon, but I am planning on trying again with lesser amounts.
I dropped a couple beans last night: Casey Jones, Sour Diesel and another LA Confidential. LA Confidential is the perfect strain for aftyer work. i cn literally take 4 hits off a j and feel my sore body start to NOT HURT. I picked up some from a friend who got it from Cali and realized I never want to be without this strain.
CAsey Jones is among the first strains I ever grew, that and Blue Mystic. And everyone around here loves Sour Diesel. Fingers crossed.
also took a few clones of the Hippy Slayer and White Tahoe Cookies.
I’m having trouble keeping mother plants for longer than a couple months. It seems they thrive for a minute then yellow and die. I’m going to pick up some Purple Cow organic Indicanja. and try that.

Tested the Berry Noir grown with Heavy 16 last night. It was actually really good. Smoke was smooth, ash was a bit dark but the taste wasn’t chemmy. The buzz was very fun. Followed that J with some LA Confidential and just got stupid, but totally pain free. It woul dbe nice to be able to use the Heavy 16 but the yield sucked since most of the plant was under-mature fluff - the the trichs were matrure.
anyway, the new cool tubes arrived today. It’ll be nice having a spare.
I picked up some Indicanja soil by Purple Cow - organic, just water kinda stuff. I’d love to the the KIS stuff, but shipping for a single bag is $80 to here. I’m having trouble keeping my mom’s alive for long so Im hoping the Purple Cow helps.
onward and upward

ok folks. update time. I’ve spoken with reps from Heavy 16 and AN.
current grow is with AN - keeping it very simple. Feeding every day with 25% runoff.
30 ml’s base, half that of additives.
Sensi Coco Bloom A&B, B52,. Big Bud, with a touch of Molasses and epsom salts. - nice and simple
Blueberry Yum Yum
White Trufflez
for some reason this site doesn’t like this picture
this BBYY is a freak, which I love She’s showing how blueberry plants can mutate and get weird.
I will say this, the rep from Heavy 16 was wonderful. Emailed me and gave me his private cell number if I needed any further help or have questions. He listened. Gave me thoughtful solutions and explained why.
the AN rep was a nice guy, very enthusiastic about AN, but needs to learn how to listen. it literally took me 15 minutes of being interrupted and the conversation going off on tangeants before my questions were answered. He did explain things nicely and was not condecending like AN reps have been in the past.
current grow is AN Next round will be Heavy 16 and i will make a decent comparison with the final buds.
