The James Gang

[H.A.F.]

I'll be having enough Chemdog to do cannagars, edibles, whatever - I have the mom which may or may not be harvested on 5/2 when it hits 60 days. I'll at least snag a sample. She's the middle shrub on the right. The two clones that had cover crops in the 2g pots went to 7g to flower out.

One I thought about keeping as a mom because it already has clonable limbs. it was left a tree,

This one was topped

This one was also topped but it was just in a 1/2g pot so I went to a 5g.

I stuck it in the closet to see how one does in lower light start to finish.

Full moon is coming up and this tent may empty. What I thought was deficiency on the Bombthreat may just be the color it fades to.
The JD Skunk already decided it is a girl, waiting on the other three.

 

[H.A.F.]

So this is now veg. I still need to clone the Taxi but I noticed I hadn't pruned the lower limbs yet. I took the seed leaves and 3-blade leaves and any associated suckers.

the new Chemdog mom got a 2g pot. Her only job is to provide a clone at some point. I'll let her get big as slow as I can. The top is offset and showing maturity. I want to clone the top, but also several lowers and none are anywhere close.

The Hollyweed crosses and 2 Greenway fems.

Maybe a little pinch or twist on the top node of the Chemdog to let her know what daddy wants lol

 

[H.A.F.]

So I did this yesterday, just because of some reason...

Might be because I have to wait on these to root
before I can flip these. And there's only 6 limbs each. I really don't care how many I have left to flip as long as I have a clone to make more. But 4 limbs would be great if the tops don't take. And the remaining 4 would be getting bigger while I waited.

The CLHP crosses are interesting but niether has that CLHP aroma.

The Bomb and the Potion will harvest Tuesday. They could go tonight but - full moon... The two Catpiss Kush popped nanners on the 18th at just over nine weeks. They could have gone earlier but I tried to wait. The 3 Chemdog Clones will call this home.

And at least 2 of the 4 flipped ones are girls. I lost a Frosty MacFish but got one girl hooked and the JDS is female. waiting on the T-star. I may move the Chemdog mom into the other tent with the three babies after I harvest those two. I could rearrange stuff now but it'd just be make work.

 

[H.A.F.]

All three of those in the last pic are girls so I'll have more variety. 2 days and they still aren't thirsty in the one gallons so up-potting will probably be tomorrow. The Frosty MacFish has good enough lower branches to take a flower clone so I may do that. The other two are beanstalks and I'm not topping something already in flower.

 

[H.A.F.]

Been a while - gardening takes it out of you. Quick and dirty here's veg now. I added two Frosty MacFish clones to the Dirty Daxi tops. It was right as she showed sex so maybe not a hard reveg.

The Chemog mom is th one by the outlet.

I moved the Trinity cross in with the two CLHP crosses.

This is now the Chemdog tent. The mom hits 60 days on Thursday and that is supposedly peak harvest even though she doesn't look done. I am amazed she hasn't shown the least bit of deficiency like all the others. If it has the high this might be a special plant.

In the macro the original pistils are dead brown, and there's an amber here and there. But since this is the seed mom we'll assume that the 60 day thing applies to clones. I'll hang a couple of lower branches but I'll wait on the three clones to experiment. Maybe do 60, 70 and 80 days or something. She has chunky trichs

And the rest. Muttzarella is back right.

 

[H.A.F.]

Having shit for germ rate on my older seeds, and the oldest are about 3 years asie from the free test gear I got from County Line. A few of those are 5 years old.

I dropped some 4/20 beans and of the 8 Dominion G only 4 popped, one grew root up and I flipped it and it survived, one grew about a half inch tail then stopped.

Now that I have reliable headstash and it's mostly fems if I need to hunt for more, I am looking at bulk drops so I don't lose the old stuff completely. The large/deep cells I have only fit 36 (six 6's) to a 1020 tray and are 3" deep. They hold almost as much as the 9oz solos and forr root development they'll be the same but with corners to prevent curling.

New moon will be old CLG and some @Opie1 gave me. The Grapefruit from him is a cloner, so that will veg longer than the rest of the drop. The 4th Gear from CLG is a *meh* cross in name being Big Bud and Motor Breath, but it is a worked line so that makes a difference. I have a few Hippie Crippler crosses that were fire the first time, and this was all back when I sucked really bad at this - but I've always known what a good high is

I have two unopened packs of the CLHP fems that have been 0% so far in the first 3 packs. Those won't hurt to wait a few more months if they're already dead. I have 6 packs of the Homecoming Queen I need to check. Theres Vietnamese Silver Leaf, Oil Spill, and a lot of random crosses.

I am thinking that I'll divide the seeds in each strain by 6 and see where that takes me on all the randoms. But I think Homecoming Queen, Grapefruit and 4th Gear will be the 18 for the new moon. 18 knowing that 6 will be vegged until I get clones rooted.

Hopefully you get something to pop on the CLHP, if not I got one I can send out vato.

 

[H.A.F.]

Hopefully you get something to pop on the CLHP, if not I got one I can send out vato.

Now that I have found other strains with that same - whatever - it's not as big of a deal. I'd say I have found about half a dozen WOW! strains that I'll keep around if I find them again. It's like each harvest I get a variety of effects but more often lately I have found the 'keepers' I didn't keep.

The Dirty Taxi is one, the Flashback is another I have both going now and it'll be just waiting to see if any are like what I got the first time or better.

The Headline is another and I saw that on your list - I have had one out of four so far that was the pheno I like. The two in flower are not smelling like the money plant. The astringent version is still a great high but I can take it or leave it. The meaty smelling one has that warm blanet, clean sheets feel to it - comfortable all over.

 

[H.A.F.]

I also have the two CLHP x Chemdog Special Reserve crosses in the closet and a decent amount of them left to hunt through if they pan out.

I definitely got two drastically different versions - neither have that sour hashplant smell though but it's the high that matters.

The Dirty Taxi taught me not to base everything on the smell. The one I am almost out of has a very mild chemical smell, something you'd pass over for something louder - which would be almost anything. But a pinch in a one-hitter and you're fucked upper than a football bat. I heard on one of the youtube shows that other people have the same opinion on the high so I don't think I missed a unicorn or anything.

 

[H.A.F.]

Veg is doing well, but still no roots on the Dirty Taxi tops. They each have 6 limbs so I could take two each and still have a plant to flip as is. I'll decide that tomorrow - I can do veg things in the morning. I did a major fan leaf removal. Before

and after

The Chemdogs lost their fans too, except the top few on the tree version.

I didn't get a pic of the closet but it's the same. In here the 3 new ones are taking off.

My tomatoes all got little pots a few days ago and have been acclimatizing outside in the shade. Today may be the day they get grounded.

And the peppers go out soon

with my wife around ,over the last three weeks we've had to cover plants 4 times for frost ,but we have a good start,this year at least!maters @2' squash and cucumbers are starting to climb the fence .

 

[H.A.F.]

I finally got off my ass and cloned the Dirty Taxi. The tops are still alive but still no roots. They are all now 4-tops and I'll flip them. I am not wasting that much time on possible males. If no clones have rooted by the time they show I can either take a flower clone or just re-veg the whole plant. Pretty sure something will root though.

And since I was cloning I snagged the lowest 2 off the Chemdog. I think starting a regular clone cycle might be good. Just take a few every time I clone something else. If none root - no biggie. Mom is still making more.

The 2x2 mini tent is perfect for 2 of the domes so I have this round of snips all in the same dome.

Next round will be the TKM10 crosses and the two Greenway fems.

 

[H.A.F.]

I flipped the 3 Taxi's, and I took the two lower limbs off the Chemdog for my 60-day experimet. 38g wet total so I should get a good taste next week. One limb had a top cluster and two lower sets of nugs, the other only had one lower set. So 2 chunky tops and some larf - bout a quarter-bag. Shitty pic. The three '91 clones are set for which limbs are staying, but thee inner stuff on each limbs will still get pruned as the pistils starrt showing.

So this is veg and the next project will be getting them larger homes. Only one of the Dominion G looks normal. One has wings and the other is a rescue pup.

 

[H.A.F.]

The first set of clones is looking harsh but the stems are swollen so roots eventually. The second batch had more sturdy stems.

I am going with smaller up-pots on stuff I want to clone so it doesn't get out of control. I only have one super hot pepper so it is stying in as a project.

 

[H.A.F.]

I just freaked out some dude running or city council or something.

knock knock
... peeks out window sees clipboard

I open the door and ask "are you a politician?"

"uh, yes?"

"I just wanted to make sure you weren't just here to bug me about Jesus or something...Go away! I don't trust any of you!"

Door closes abruptly

 

[H.A.F.]

If you break the last nug into pieces for different sessions with a few one-hitters (while you have sacks of other stuff available) - that's the weed.

 

[H.A.F.]

OK - so I am back on my page posting shit about me growing - why was that confusing for me?

No pistils but the little prefflower nubs on the Taxi's all look female. Never considered that option but I like it!

I get to see if there is a lot of diffference plant to plant on the high which is nice. but that's three moms I'll need to keep until I decide. It's also lots of clones to flower out eventually unless there's some shit pheno's.

 

[H.A.F.]

I feel pretty good about the second round of clones so I am gonna bust open the older cubes and see whats up. I'll stick them in a cup of fine soil heavy with castings and see what happens. If I see roots at any time picking away at the cube I stop and pick at a different area. as long as I have exposed roots. If not they can dry out in a cube that is put in soil too soon.

I hate leaving stuff exposed for long but I'll get pics of what I find.

 

[H.A.F.]

From the bottom. These look ready to explode with roots, but none had them.

I think all three will survive, and the two Frosty MacFish clones are just in cases. I don't know if I like the smoke and I have a pack but if didn't have limbs until flip then I was snipping lower stuff anyway. So it's 50/50 if they'll re-veg. But I have lost a few that I wish I still had so I am trying to do better.

If those take then these are 2 extra from each Dirty Taxi, plus the next two Chem91 clones and future mom if it one roots.

My main issue has been soil volume. I love the 7g pots for known goodness, but if I want to see more girls I need to get back to 5g or smaller.
From now on anything I want to keep will stay in the cup until I get clones. FFfrom there it has plenty of room to flower out.
The little 6-cell thing worked like a charm for up-potting, and the 19oz solo cup was the best fit for the next size.
The epiphany with the little cells was to just cut 6 apart and stuff them in a whole one. Then each one is easier to mess with or pull duds or whatever

I am going to be selective on what I plan to keep. If I have a few that work that I don't get tired of then everything else is just a tolerance break during the day. If I am keeping moms I won't be running low on those strains. Whole new mindset. I think the three Dirty Taxi all likely being girls - with more left in the pack to drop - changed a LOT in my head.

Anyway, Chemdog and Dirty Taxi - the tent of moms. I still have half a dozen '91 fems to drop as well. But this girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and there's zero yellowing from her eating the leaves. Either its a shit off-pheno and the high will be midsy, or I found gold and the rrest off the pack will just be to verify that.

The CLHP x CSR crosses and the Trinity x OG are all just cruising - I need to mow the lawn and have taco's or a salad with dinner

Here's the randoms. The Muttzarella in the back corner, and the two identical Headline that are not the droids I am looking for on the right.
T-star in the back, Frosty MacFish that I flower cloned in the middle and the second JD Skunk up front. She's a beautiful little tree, great shape.
I have a fat sack of the Headline fems to work through, like 20. So that will be a mom hunt project of it's own, but one where I will know before harvest if I want to keep the clone. Like, these two I'll harvest and smoke but if I had cloned them I'd compost them now before I got attached.
Pretty sure I am hitting the Headband part over and over and it''s the TX Shoreline I need. I'll find it.
