Goldilocks Grow

Thanks UKgirl, I was just looking out the window at the older females outside. I'm hoping the cooler temps kill the heck out of the spider mites that have inundated them. I have three kinds of spray and the little ones have been sprayed (to the point of almost death on two) a lot and dont seem to be putting on any more of those yellow dots that cover the older girls.

Also...
Found a "Volunteer" out in one of my pots from last year. I made seeds on one plant early in the season. I can hardly believe that seed stayed there since then and is now comming up. It is almost three inches tall! I dont know if it is gonna make the cut and go all the way to flower. My grow is limited this year to six plants, due to the county going back to "State Guidelines". I have heard many will grow over the amount allowed due to lack of law enforcement and the controversy over "Recomended Amounts". I see the Doc today so I will mention this to him and see if he will write down "Recomended 12 Plants". Dont think he will, but I can try. I will stay within guidelines even if he writes twelve probably.

Looking real nice tcbud:aok:

Just came up from watering and visiting the plants under the stairs. I inspected each one with a jewelers loop, and I found...................
1 male
1 female
both blueberry.
The rest still undetermined.
Whoop!

Congrats on the female blueberry :yay:

:ciao: tcbud...sorry been a while..plants looking good even with the mites..thats a battle we all face..Hope you get them under control..andits best to stay with in your laws..I havent:giggle: But this is first and last time i OVERGROW my limits. Where did the bluebarry come from..and with a male and female..are you makeing any F2? Take care and be safe:bolt::watchplant::bong:

I guess I am making F2, crossing between the same strain. Got the seeds over on the coast at a "resource center". Said they were DJ short seeds, I cant know that for sure tho. Said they were "hand delivered" by him to the owner of the center. They are nice plants, all seeds popped and I am pleased with them. Results will tell I guess. Thanks for stopping in....and Happy Easter to All.

Yesterday before heading out to the Valley to get some soil and braving the High winds projected down there....

I found that I have 3 male Blueberry now, from little nanna's I found, and three female Blueberry, they had hair. Also, of the three Flo...Two are showing hair. I am very satisfied with the 50/50 turn out of these seeds.

And as for yesterday....
We headed out and down the Mountain, going to a place south of Chico, CA. Durham Worm Farm in the small farming community of Durham. Says it is on Lasalle Lane on it's website, but no, I did have to ask directions from a kindly store keeper ( I missed the small sign as I was looking for Lasalle Lane). The wind was blowing so hard (40 mph the news said), I had to hold my hat on my head. If I lived in the Midwest, I would have been looking for a tornado. There were actual "anvil" shaped clouds all around. I was in the valley ten years or so ago, bout this same time of year, and a tornado did touch down near the town of Red Bluff.....
anyway..back to the worm farm.

We picked up a yard of compost with 20% worm castings for about $65, they offered a yard of just worm castings for $200 a yard. They even took an ATM card! It is beautiful black soil with some wood in it. We covered it and headed to Feather Falls Casino where I won enough to cover the gas, lunch/dinner and the soil with some left over for the SF trip. I just love Glenda the Good Which of the North.
This soil looks freaking great! WOW is it gonna be rich in nitrogen. I figured out what a yard of Fox Farm Ocean Forest would cost (bout $120 estimating 3 square feet in a bag, I wasnt sure of this amount in each bag) and this soil looks every bit as good as FF OF. The two bags of Ocean Forest I have I am gonna use for potting baby plants and clones.
Then I wake up this morning to some heavy frost outside, I think it is still 30 degrees and it is almost 9am. Today we clean up the garden area and put in some peas.

The girls outside have been very brave staying out in the cold. They are bundled up with cardboard and plastic. Poor girls. I want to put out one of my new blueberry girls now......but dayum, it was so cold last night. May be next week.

Hello tcbud...thanks for the update. and good for you to battle the elemants and head out..sounds as tho it paid off.:clap:.I too grew with OF last season..I thought it more expensive then some good local organic mix that I use now...the thing is that its seasonal here in washington..esp...the worm casts..so come the middle of aug..i buy a trailer load and fill Plastic garbage cans ( GREEN ones) for the Fall grow...Cant wait to see how the Ladies like that new stuff..I bet they expload and kick yer ars:rofl: That worm poo is great stuff..and was you keeping any of the Males ? and have you any of your crosses going? Wow..I need some more of your PURPLE porn:lama: and Im heading outside to do some tilling me self..Ill check back in Later..enjoy your day:ciao::bolt::bong:

yep, making seeds between female blueberry and male blueberry. Seems like I cant go wrong if I stay within the same strain.....right?
I belive I misdiognosed the one male Flo, I believe now she is female, three for three, whoop!

:yay: on the females and the one lucky guy

Unloaded the truck yesterday. The soil is so beautiful, we got all this out of one cubic yard! I remember gold mining and always being so amazed how much a cubic yard really is. Also pictured is the long and lanky Caboose. She is currently under plastic, as it froze again last night. Last years soil is also pictured, that will be spread over the bulbs and trees around the house. Husband said there were hundreds of worms in our old soil in the contianers and in the new soil, new soil had "baby" worms.

`That's some pretty soil tcbud and not a bad cost either.
I'm germinating seeds today, White Russian and Chemo. Then under a 6700k. cfl until about May 12, our last frost day. Getting hard frosts now also. Proud of my pretty perrenials, all sticking up out of the snow. Put down grass seed, under straw, and now yard is full of birds and chipmunks EATTING MY SEED!!!!!!!!!!The little darlins.
Sure hope I'm not the only lady who goes silly with the spring and new growth etc....I lOVE SPRINGTIME

Looks like you are going to be busy for a little while:farm:

Congrats on the misdiagnosis and the girl :yay:

hey tcbud hows the weather up there?

Update on a confusing time telling male from female.

As of now....

2 Flo
and
2 blueberry
Females.

3 dead male blueberry
1 live male blueberry for seeds I hope.
1 he/she Flo, probably heading to the compost heap soon. Super male, lol.

It never used to be this hard. The flo are putting out more hairs than I have ever seen come out of a preflower yet. The Blueberry have such small preflowers I can barely see them with a loop. From ten seeds, four females, not as good as a few posts ago. I did not run a fan on these plants, this may be the reason for the low female ratio.

Now there are 2 flo and 2 blueberry. We have one Goo on the way, and the volunteer in the garden. I dont see much hope for the volunteer, no way am I gonna have one from my hermi from last year come up to flower. The side branches are not comming out very fast, so I have done a little super cropping on two of them on the down low...shhhhh dont tell anyone.

And the weather is beautiful today, a bit under seventy. Lovely.

Hi Tc :ciao: I don't think the fan would influence your ratio unless it was causing a severe temperature drop. I have been trying to stay on the same course that Mutt described in his sticky on Here Is How To Produce Mostly Females From Standard Seeds it works pretty well for me.

More Drama down under the stairs.

Found a girl going over to the dark side yesterday. She is over and so far beyond the edge she is gonna be dead by this afternoon. I had such hopes for this grow. One more Flo went hermi. All the way to alternating nodes she displays some beautiful hairy preflowers. Her "brother/sister" plant is discussed in this thread,

For seeds suposedly from DJShort, these seeds are hermi hermi hermi. I dont have much hope now for the third and final Flo. With the two blueberry that are left I am watching them very closely.
Looks like I am gonna be clone shopping in a couple weeks. Maybe I have jinked the Grow by thinking it will be like Goldilocks and the third bowel of poridge.

Oh, I harvested both of the Pot of Gold that were outside. I am smoking some I took and like it real well. So nice to be smoking green pot again.

For seeds suposedly from DJShort, these seeds are hermi hermi hermi.
