New Grower PTSD medicine. Total newbie.

[Super Mario]

I completely agree about the se Asia stuff getting a little freaky deaky... I have a flo cross pheno that I call "PTSD" she is the trippy racy paranoid evil stepsister of "silver flo" who is trippy and kind.


Anyway- I think there is a lot too affy genetics that is overlooked , I never saw an "indica" plant over there- all I saw were lanky long narrow finger leaved plants...


The affy/ Mexican is interesting... The Mexican satis are so upbeat, and euphoric- not too racy if they get harvested cloudy. As for the satis potentially making pain worse- Ill go with that, it does matchu experience as well to an extent- I think alot of that has to do with the overall "heightened" senses that accompany them. Too easy to become keenly aware of your body not doing things or feeling right. I'm all about the idea that if you get your head right- the body will follow. I really like alot of what the affy provides- but in most of the "Dutch" stuff the nl/sk/haze stuff it's all generic, and murky...

That's what makes some o these crosses that are pretty far removed from the "major seedbank" genetics and aren't just reshuffling them all again, so interesting. Not to say that there isn't still a ton if good in the Dutch stuff.

Yeah but if the crazy paranoid plants are there, the pure bliss electrifying phenos are not far..iggy Hug:. Vietnamese,Laotian,Cambodian and to a lesser degree Thai because of hermaphrodites are just beautiful plants to grow and smoke.

You were over there? Nice. Agreed, Afghanistan was sativa country in the early beginnings of their hash culture, it was only later that the ruderal indicas were employed. Afghanistan went through a lot of change. The thing that pisses me off is that maple leafed webbed indicas are near extinct since the russians came. Sensis Maple Leaf Indicas suck, and the only available kind are tainted ( though very nice! ) hawaiian webs. I know exactly what you mean. Plants around Mazar-i-sharif get huge for indicas :drool:.

Word on the Mexighanis, also on my list of things to do :thumbs:.

Well yeah, the dutch genepool is quite bottlenecked..But I also like the dutch classics..But maybe more because of nostalgia..That's just the stuff you grow up with in western europe. But I think the future of the american seedmarket is much much darker. Heavy commercialization will def. lead to a massive drop in overall quality. Now that the risks slowly decline, all the outsiders and amateurs jump in and try to get rich off weed

The medical scene in the USA is a blessing and a curse. It had for Ed everyone to elevate there game to an extent- but we also have this - what might be called "typiclly American" approach- heavy handed- I you will. It seems the majority if the focus in the USA has been on heavier and heavier strains. "One hitter quitter" knock out bud- consider that in alot of places you can't buy weed that isn't called "kush" regardless of the breed- kush sells because of the perceived potency. But so much nuance and subtlety is gone from the high... Just as it all used to be "skunk" regardless it's heritage. To me sensi is little better than Barney's or do. Mr nice still has some interesting quality stuff- as far as the haze skunk nl crosses go.


I'm with you though- if it's spine tingling and terrifying- keep popping beans- because spine tingling and fun aren't far off....

I have to be careful to avoid alot I that super introspective stuff though... Some Colombian And carribean etc, that gets me thinking a little too much...

I guess I did see some "classicly indica" plants- or plots rather in afg- but I saw way more wild sati leaning plants. I was NEVER around any of it when blooming- and never asked for seeds- like a fool...

Well, about 8 days from seed bank harvest date. All trichomes are still clear on the fruit and CJ. I am going to start flushing with just ro water on the fruit now. Sorry the pics lighting sucks a bit. The buds are getting fatter but Calyx have not swollen too much yet. Have a good day all.

Your grow looks great. I like my girls young, indica or sativa, so I take them at about the seed bank recomendation. The last two grows I have been going a week or two longer and have had my best yeilds. I have been flushing less (1 week) and giving an extra feed of big bloom and Advance sensi cal/mag bloom. I didn't taste any chems, I think the drying and curing has more to do with taste than flushing. If you dry outside your grow space harvest the top buds when the trics are just cloudy and the rest when they are milky/amber. Every strain seems to have their own sweet spot, good luck.

As a first timer I am not really sure when these will be ready. I have them last feeding of tiger bloom last night. The critical jack buds are solid while fruit buds are a little more airy. I think I will start to flush time meow. In this reply are the dinafem fruit auto, next reply are CJ. I have used microscope and mostly clear with some cloudy, although I am not the best at using it. Any advice would be appreciated. Hope to get an Oz out of the two of these. Mite bottle in pic for scale. Peace y'all.

Critical jack

Looking good, you are almost there. Try trimimg the fan leaves as soon as they yellow to let more light into the interior buds. Don't give any nitro just bloom nutes and give one more feeding to the CJ of 20ml/gal big bloom, let dry, than plain 6.5ph water until the the bud leaves yellow. Some people don't ph the water during flush, I do. Also I don't flush for 2 weeks, just one, I think it's the nitrogen that some people taste. You did well and will do even better if you remember what you did right and correct what was wrong. Ph control and enough light are important to getting better yeilds. Just think in short while you will be smoking CJ grown by you, it's a great feeling. Good luck.

Well, I am going down the home stretch. Went to my hydro store and got a 400W Hortilux super to replace my home depot special. Not sure if it will make any difference at all. I also added some GH Kool Bloom at a rate of 1/4 tsp per gallon to see if I can get fruit buds to harden up a bit. I will probably give each another feeding before a flush. I was stupid this morning and cut the cola of the fruit due to amber trichomes. I did not want it to go to far for my meds. I have it drying in a cabinet with an intake and carbon filter. it only weighed 40 grams wet after trimming leaves. I know it was probably premature, I will let the CJ, Bio and other fruit go longer. I started Love Potion Photo plant germinating today along with a sweet cheese to fill in during the veg time. crossing my fingers.
