DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

DST said:

Well I think Don talks funny, me, my accents totally normal, hahahaha.

Not sure what collards are, will check them out. What sort of parsley are you growing? I done flat leaf parsley last year and it was about a meter tall, but seeded and then just died on me, trying again with some more this time....there were spatterings of it returning, but no luck. I had an oregano (non edible variety) and that just seemed to spread everywhere!! All my plants seemed to have a bloody non-edible oregano seedling growing in their pot, pain in the arse, especially when you can't use it!!! So I now have an edible oregano (looks exactly like the non-edible variety) and that is also growing like wildfire. Mr outdoor Rosemary has pretty little purpley flowers on it at the moment as well. Interesting. Ah well, enough Percy Thrower'ing from me. Thanks for stopping by Hayduke.

Peace, DST

EDIT: Artichokes eh! Now that is an interesting veg. Never quite got my head around the fact that you only use the heart...tasty though.

Collard greens are in the cabbage family...After the Civil War (USA vs CSA) the union troops burned the fields leaving the South to suffer a harsh winter...They did not recognize the Collards as food and left them alone...Collard greens and re-captured released hogs helped Southerners survive the winter and have been a staple in Southern "Soul Food" cooking since. They are often cooked with a ham hock and black eyed peas (also called cow peas) which are supposed to be good luck on New Years...Anyway they are a late season crop (winter crop here)...they are a bit bitter and tough, but if you know what you are doing...wonderful and nutritious.

Flat leaf parsley only!!!! Mine is a meter tall too, but really not much of it is usable now that it is gone to flower...makes sense that it dies back.

My rosemary has been flowering like that for probably 6 months...looks cool.

So here's the final bounty, the last has just gone into the jars for curing (Thelma Headband- which came in at 61 grams) This brings the total for my harvest to just over 22 zips The jars are labelled so if you know my grow you know the jars. Plus there is a delicious bottle of Pomerol 98' for size reference.


This is in a 1.1mx1.24mx2.67m high (3.6'x4'x9') cabinet, vertically grown, with a combo of lights. Started with a 400mh and 600 hps, then switched week 3 of flower to both hps's 600 and 400 respectively. For w to gram ratio we are looking at 0.6g to the watt.

God knows how I am going to smoke all this before my next lock come out, but I am gonna have a might good try

Peace,

Just came looking at your selection!!! I'll be back.

Cheers for the visits guys. What a great problem it is having to decide which flavour you are going to try next. I'd have those problems forever....

Love the story about the Collards, Hayduke those types of stories are the best. We use the old Ham Hocks for cooking Scottish broth with!!! I could live off my Grans Scotch Broth!! Just a shame she don't really do cooking too much now her eyesights gone...which reminds me she has been meaning to give me a couple of recipes.

Have a sweet one lads.

Peace, DST

Thats a hell of a sweet collection of herb DST. Im jelous.

Loving this, mashin it up this morning with the new girls.

So the new clones are settling in I guess. The Thelma clone that was mullered and frazzling up at the edges (honest guv, I didn't do nuffink!!) is getting it's mean green back, slowly but surely. My 3 littel cheese experiements courtesy of the cheese fairy they are either gonna be the end of me (who knows what happens when you piss the cheese fairy off!!!) or they are gonna be the toughest littel critters around. I have sprayed them more times for these crawley mites than I care to remember, but the little fuckers seem to love the kaas!!! Anyway, they are struggling through, if anything the roots are going for it, already out the bottom of the pots....even with their apparrent dinkyness. The NY47 clone of a clone that was growing single blade leaf's has kicked off and is now kicking out skin divers like naebodies busyness (the NY47 is a sturdy girl for sue, probably got Scottish heritage of some sort, hohohaha) Both the OGK's are looking good, got some TUFCM (tied up female clothed male) action going on with them and they seem to enjoy it. Will be cloning them along with a selection from the others for the future....in a bit. Will be continuing with the veg cycle for a while yet, have reduced number of plants by 50%, increased pot sizes in most case by at least a factor of two (20litre pots on the main for the girls.)

The first NY47 clone is still getting it's time in motion photos taken every day...still a while to go. I will blast up a pic of her along with barbagseed as well in the next update. So here's a couple to get you in the mood for the coming zoo-ness.

NY47


OG Kush


Thelma Headband clone


Overview:


You got 2 Caseys in each corner at the back, a couple of headbands in between (behind the light), a Blackjack down on the basement.
Then in the middle row there's a Thelma HB, a NY47, then 2 HB's,
Then in the fron we got Thelma rejuv stump, a HB, then another Thelm and an OG, the little chavettes at the front are the cheeses...i keep expecting tom come in and them to be drinking Diamond White and wearing hoodies (haha)

Made a nice load of bubblehash yesterday, got around 20 gram from the run from my leaf trimmage. (well the last 2 grams had some leaf matter due to sloppy arse hands here letting the bag slip haha....still bonging it though.)

Will be collecting a water holder today for my terrace garden I think, as well as a few other bits and bobs.

Have a nice Saturday people. Further updates will follow.


Peace, DST

ahahahaha, eyes steamin with tears of laughter (or is that the bong smoke!!!) You could be right there Dr, those are the crazy Cheese babies from the UK Cheese Fairy.

looks like a purple light saber, maybe the bigger chceeselet is trying to clense the litteler cheeselet of bugs using laser power.

Perserverence gets you there. Looks like I have managed to get one of these dam Headband-Cali Orange seeds to germ (the little fekker) The other 3 are the DP-Querkles

crazy indeed! LOL looking good DST.
