Marcus has an Irritable Owl Diary-rhoea

Post by Marcus »

Well, howdy folks.

Been a while.

I've recently discovered that I NEED a diary to keep track of what's what. I think it's a necessity to keep a log of a grow for me.
I've just come to the end of my current grow and I think somehow I lost 2 weeks in April. Did the clocks go forwards by that much?

So. This is my next diary.

I'll be in the closet, 55cm at it's widest and 1m80 long. 8inches of filter up the corner running at 40% and alas, no CMH this run unless summer turns out to be shite.
I'm going to use my old LED.

PLants growing will be a cross between a Mexican and a Hawaiian. Mountain Gold by Green Mountain Seeds.
Highland Oaxaca Gold x Hawaiian Sativa (some offspring from Kona Gold apparently).

Only cracking 4 beans, no room for more and hoping for 2 females and 2 males and a bit of a swingers party in early flower for a dozen beans off each. I'll do this run in coir as I want to have a looky at how much these can take feedwise. I ran some Oaxaca crosses recently and they were overferted to buggery in the soil. So I wnt to see if me and my turkey baster can cope with coir and runoff every morning.

But I may change my mind and put them in soil when they're up and about for a few days.

25*c in there and 80% hoomidity

Ello dude, long time..what's this no update for a fortnight crap?! That's my thing man, wtf!!

Hope you're good, your Violetta/Sandstorm cross went down pretty damned well at Casa del Fiend, made my brother-in-law almost collapse..! Padron pepper beans you sent went right up my flagpole too, brilliant on rolls or in pasta, cheers for that, I wouldn't have thought to try something so mild otherwise!

Have a good one, dude - day, and grow, if I forget to check in..ATB.

Farting hell Fiendy! How are you man? Life good???

We're all cool here, living in sunny Wales now right at the edge of the flat earth. I'll go to the shore and wave later, you may see me.

Yeah erm no updates as young beans have had to go into the 11/13 cubby where I got a couple of the Malawi Gold on week 10. Just put them on water as I'm sick of the sight of them. 1 of them keeps having a little lie down on the floor most nights. (they're only in 1L pots and 1m60tall.😂

I'll update when something looks like it's worth looking at. :rolf:

I'm glad you liked that sandstorm x violeta, I've run it a couple of times and used a male here and there. Nep Jam x (violeta x sandstorm) is a nice one I found. I'm just tooting on some of Dubi's Purple Pakistani Haze only been in the jar a week or two but very clear headed.

Those padron peppers are cracking fried up in a bit of sea salt too. Dripping in olive oil. Oooh, my t shirt hated me when I grew them.

What have yuo got growing now? Still doing the NLD types, long flowering? I;m deep in an Oaxaca/Mexican hole at the moment. Something special in some of the dope from that part of the world. Just done a BigSurHW x Oaxaca, from zero to idiot in 2 lungfuls. It's good fun man!

Good to hear from you dude.

Oh, fuck you! Making me jealous with those Malawi gold, man! Looking cracking dude, you're making me want to pop my own after all the time they've spent in my fridge, wondering what the hell happened to them! no

Looks like a couple of pollen sacs popping up on the last pic, on the lower half of the head - but nothing problematic if you pick them off it, looks pretty damned tasty from here! How's the waft off them, out of pure curiosity?

That funky git definitely looks funky, eh?! Hopefully it figures out it's purpose in life and gives you some decent dope or pollen, but you win some, lose some, hmm?

Good to hear Wales is treating you well, Ireland is as shite as ever! The things you do for love..! Anyways, I've literally got the square root of feck all but spiders growing in my spaces at the moment, soon to be filled to the brim with a variety of weird and wonderful things if I can be bothered doing it... 'tis all LED powered now though, so at least it's cheap and cool!

Damned right that they'll be proper old school ganja though, I'm thinking Kerala x WiFi F2's in the 120x120 space, maybe some
Ace Ethiopian in the 90x90 and a few homebrew Sandstorm x Lebanese in the 120x90. Dunno if you heard Cannabiogen shut shop as far as seeds go, they only do nutes now...Shame, their beans were some of the best in the business.

11/13, they'll live man, unhappy maybe, but they'll get over it! TBH, I've never had anything Mexican actually 'be' happy, et alone have one of them seem to be 'quite' acclimated to indoors..grumpy gits all round IMO Hopefully they do you a decent yield, but you sound like you've had decent results from other Oaxacan/Mexican types before?

Can't say I blame your tshirt with those peppers mate, they liven up basically anything! Bit of salt, fry them in olive oil 'till the skin blisters off them, fling them into anything after that..beautiful!

I pollinated the early pistils on these Malawi by leaving the male in there.
The male Malwi also hit the Purple Paki Haze too and a Kali China for a dozen beans off them. Oh and it hit my Haze19 x nl5 tester I ran also.

Here's the PPHaze and the boss eyed Dude...

Image

Kali China (done in 7/8 weeks)

I've still got a couple of them Ethiopian in the fridge, I'm addicted to the Bangi Haze though. Such good meds for me, 1 toot and I'm a functioning adult. 2 toots and it's let's start the party time... no ceiling on that one so it helps with sleep too. Fermented when cured and it's really out of this world.
I've most of Ace's catalogue in the fridge, been finding some great meds for me.

That's one thing I've found delving into narrow leaf "purer" types... I can get a full nights sleep on them, modern polypolyhybrids x polypolypolyhybrids well... awake in a couple of hours. Even the fattest of fat leaved ones. Half hour high and then back for more, the NLDs tend to keep me up for 3/4 hours with a nice smooth ride into the bed. Was chatting about this the other day, they've bred dope to be like crack now, keep the kids coming back and buying more. Long live 1980s brickweed! :rolf:

The daft looking one will pull around, I'm down to growing in a little 50cm x 180cm cubby now. Fits the cmh nice, but only 2 or 3 plants for the forseeable future. SO fingers crossed for 2 chicks n a freaky dude on them Mountain Gold.
Keeno managed to snag me the last 2 packs of ace's Thai Chi (only single packs) from the wholesalers, I may squeeze one of those in there too. But yeah, I'll raise them light times to 14/10 when the Malawi are down and then drop it back to 11/13 when big enough.

The Malawi are FULL of bananas. They do not like the 1L pots or the indoor lighting, but I've nothing else around to pollinate and I've already stripped 24 beans off them both for safekeeping. Very carroty and orangey smelling. I likey.

Just hola if you want any crosses, you know the drill. Plenty in the fridge round here. :cowby:

Take it easy dude!

Ooh, nearly forgot, I got a couple of Auto Zamaldelicas just starting to show pistils and at 3foot high already. (4 foot if you count the pot)...

Image

I think they may need a bigger crappy polytunnel to grow in. :bang head: Mon the stretch! :lol:

Edit - Yeah, cannbiogen have gone. Was it Charlie the dude who ran it? What I can see, he'd just had enough of the whole seed/breeding game. I can see why, these seedbanks, calling themselves breeders that are popping up are just buying bulk beans in for pennies and making fancy packaging for them and charging daft prices, then they'll go above and beyond to try and fuck proper breeders over. It's all bullshit dude.
The whole game is run by people with no love for the plant or the culture, just after the fucking money.
Ripping real breeder's hard work off and calling them Fairys while they're at it.
Then there's the fuckers ripping off and selling dead folks lifetimes of work for £150 a dozen. Fucken bullshit man.

Rant over.😂

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

Cheers Herb. Alas, my runny bottom is no fun anymore. Been waiting for a scan since before xmas, recently found out that because a cancer test came back negative in December, that they have refused a scan to see what's going on.
Basically if you ain't got cancer, go fuck yourself... say the NHS. And even if you do have cancer and keep telling them, they miss it and you end up dead in 2 months, just like what happened to my buddy on Sunday.
So I'm not paying anymore taxes. They can get fucked. Cash in handy worky for me from now on and I'm declaring fuck all of it.
:morning:

I was looking at my seedlings yesterday and noticed 1 is showing his balls.. 2 and a half ish weeks on 11/13 and they're showing sex already. I;ve upped that light to 14/10 now and I'll try to get them vegging along nicely without throwing daft reveg leaves. I hope.

ImageImage

This daft one is now a three pronger...

ImageImage

Anyway, all fine n dandy.

Image

My LED runs hotter than my CMH it looks like, so I had a bit of a think and what I reckon is that heatsink on the back of my LED, although it only runs at 40-45*C, it's a HUGE surface area. It's like having an oversized radiator and running it at low temps in a room off one of them airsource things. It's warming the room loads compared to the small surface area of the CMH bulb, even though tat runs hotter.
Soldering iron vs huge radiator in a cupboard basically.

But I don't know dick about shit when it comes to growing, so I'll keep my thoughts to myself. :rolf: :rain:
