Sara
At the end of the day this plant was finally uncurling a little bit, but I'm not convinced things are getting better yet. I'm hoping by 9 tonight when the lights turn on that she'll be noticeably better. With the fresh soil and fertilizer I hope she'll be happy. Sara was always hard to please, but once
She was a sexy feral cat that you didn't wanna tame. She was wild and free, but there was a dangerous glint in her eye. Her spirit danced like a wild fire that you wanted to touch even though it was dangerous. Maybe if I keep that in mind I can figure out how to make her happy and give her what she needs to stop curling. Cause love isn't enough.






Edmonda
This plant has the potential to be something really special. She is growing so fast that she could be done weeks before the others. I thought she was a runt but it might just be a really indica leaning expression. I hear variation is really high with SSH, so it's possible to get a lot of different phenos. I think I might have gotten this 'SOG cut' I've been hearing about. If it grows out to only 1.5-2ft it would be perfect for that octagon or flooded tube setup I've been looking at. She has the most trich development, the tightest internodes, and long sexy stigmas. She's bursting with stigmas. I really hope it grows into a 2ft cola so I can have the option to SOG, which tbh, I've been seriously looking at.











Kev's Bitch
Finally my favorite. Kev's Bitch. She really is a stunner that one. Big green leafs that show no signs of defs or other problems. She's resilient and resistant to bugs. She keeps growing even though I don't have her in the best soil possible. She gives me no problems and all she wants to do is give. I can't wait to clone this one. I'm hoping this one is the perfect marriage of Haze/Indica qualities.












Tea Bucket

I've been having trouble getting enough cash to buy quality nutrients so I had to resort to making my own tea. I used some 'specially composted' OMRI approve chicken manure and steer manure in the 'tea bag' (sock). I couldn't find EWC at Homedepot or Lowes. In the water was b-1, algen extract, roots excellurator, brown sugar syrup and about a half a cup of urine. I used tap water that came out at 650 ppm and after 24 hours, the ppm were 1600. I dilluted it by half, and tested it on my males.
I made the brewer out of a sports cooler, a water pump and a piece of tubing. Aerated by falling back into the cooler.




Atmosphere control
After I moved the grow into the corner of the bathroom, the dynamics of the atmosphere changed. The temp went up and the humidity went down. Being sativas, I need a bit of humidity, so I had to figure this out. After some different tests, checking what the temps were with the CFL's off, and the door open, and exhaust off, or on....etc. I ended up turning the blower back around so that it was sucking hot air out of the room instead of blowing cool air into it. Then I extended the vent to the shower where it could be more effective. THEN I cleaned and fixed up the little fan cause I couldn't afford the new one. Turns out it just needed more grease on the motor, but I didn't have any grease so I used olive oil. Runs like a swiss clock now lol. Gotta love ghetto cures. I put the fan under the HPS again instead of blowing over the garden. There was a cover on the air conditioner that I took of that was blocking air more than it was directing it. I also took out the CFL's because the didn't really seem to help at all. If anything growth has slowed a little since I added them. The combination of all these things dropped the temperature by 6 degrees from 88F to 82F and raised the humidity from 27% to 32%

I have some seeds coming in soon so I thought I throw some pictures up of what's up to come.

Neville's Haze
Nevil's Haze is one of the plants that's on my bucket list. I have to grow this before I die. I've heard crazy stories about NH smoke and the trappy qualities of it. I have to experience this for myself. I heard the high from some good NH is like getting cracked with an electric whip. I'm down...













Plushberry
I hear the plushberry has a smell like no other, and that the high is out of this world. Plus with the possibility of a purple pheno, this has some serious cash crop potential, which I need. I've been wanting to grow a TGA strain for the longest time but haven't gotten around to it. I'm glad and grateful to be getting the chance soon.










Dreamtime
If you've been meaning to pick up some MNS strains, get over to MNS Auctions. Shanti opened it up to clear stock and hes auctioning off seeds away pretty cheap. I got these Dreamtime for 7 euros. 15 seeds for $10. Can't beat that. I've been interested in Dreamtime since I followed this guy's grow. It's a mix of Afghani, Haze, Northern Lights and Skunk varieties, landraces, side and unfinished projects, plus possibly, seeds from their normal list. Check out these 4 phenos out of a pack of Dreamtime. #10 is the best IMO.
Pheno 1






Pheno 3





Pheno 4






Pheno 10

Man those SSH look sweet, I'm planning on giving them a go in the future once I get a few more grows under my belt with a few quicker finishing indicas for cash and experience purposes. I'll be following your progress with great interest.

That Plushberry looks amazing also, are you planning on growing that next?

Hey man, I'm glad you stopped in. Are you growing now or are you still planning it? Throw up some shots.
I love SSH smoke but I've never been lucky enough to grow it. If it hadn't been given to me I probably would still be wishing I was growing it.
The Plushberry got into town yesterday and I'm expecting either today or tomorrow for sure. I am going to be growing the Plushberrys next along side the SSH. I need a nice short plant to run along side the long flowering hazes. But usually I make the mistake of rushing into things and ruining them somehow. This time I'm going to wait until I can a T5 fluorescent light so I can properly start this plant before throwing it in with the SSH to flower. I'm gonna veg Plushberry for 4-6 weeks or until they show pre-flowers, whatever comes first, then they'll go in with the Super Silvers.
I also have to SSH males that I'm gonna collect pollen from to make my own SSH crosses. I want to tailor a strain that's perfect for me and my medical issues and SSH is a great place to start. The first will probably be SSH x Plushberry and Plushberry x SSH.

I'm currently just hitting the start of week 3 of flowering of my first grow. I've got 3x Psychosis and 1x Livers under a 600w HID, both clone only strains as far as I'm aware. A good friend who posts on here sorted them out for me along with a loan of a few bits of equipment. He's also the reason I found this site, I've been lurking around soaking up the knowledge for quite a while now but only recently started to post. I lost count on how many weeks I vegged for as I had several new grower problems I had to work through that slowed their growth down a bit and I wanted to make sure my first lot was a decent yield, but the girls are looking great now! I keep meaning to start a grow journal but my camera on my phone isnt great, I need to have a bit mess about with the settings to see whats best for taking pictures in that light.

SSH was my favourite smoke from the Dam but that was like 10 years ago now and I havent had any since!!!!!!!! I think on maybe my 4th or 5th grow I'll give it a try as I plan on doing a couple of lots of top, top strains for my own personal use and collection ;) Maybe SSH, OG Kush, another haze or Mental Floss, and something purple like those Plushberry shots you've got :D, although I'm going to have to find a place to keep a mother of the Livers and Psychosis in a slow growing state as I dont want to lose those genetics.

I cant wait to see how the Plushberry and also your crosses come along. I'm subing this thread if you don't mind mate.

Cheers fella!

Not at all, please do.
I hear you about a camera and starting a thread. I had to take picture of my plants with a mounted laptop camera. I was basically tacking picture with a laptop sized camera and they were fuzzy looking. Waste of time, I let the thread die.
There's a technique for keeping mothers small called bonzai. heck out this thread when you get a chance.

Thanks for that mate. Just had a read through and it looks like being exactly what I need, I'll keep that article saved for when the time comes.

Oh and yeah I get that fuzzy look on my photos from my phone.

Once again I'm getting gifts I probably don't deserve. I'm lucky to know someone like Kev Murphy that gives just for the hell of it, man...
Anything that has something bad to say about the guy really doesn't know him I'll just say that.
Today I got my Plushberry and Neville's Haze in the mail, and as soon as I can get a decent veg light, I'm going to start them.
