The Dank Den

Howdy all…

Just thought I would start my first grow journal here…

Since having a viroid and virus’ attack my entire mother room, I’ve had to murder everything and start from scratch…

I have carefully selected some new genetics geared towards extraction.

I am also in the middle of finishing my last room at my current shop, I am moving my work to a new place.

I will be updating this page as I grow…

If you have any questions, ideas, advice, I am 100% open to any and all of it. Just fire away…

Regards,

-Islander.

My first selection that I have just recently cracked…

It’s called Gelato Sours, by Alien Genetics….

More on the strain :

Sour info:

ECSD x Rez Sour D IBL F1 = Sour F1
Sour F1 x Sour F1 = Sour F2
Sour F2 x Sour F2 = Sour F3
Sour F3 x Sour F3 = Sour F4
Legend OG x Sour F4 = OG Sour F1
OG Sour F1 x OG Sour F1 = OG Sour F2
OG Sour F2 x OG Sour F2 = OG Sour F3

Gelato 33… Could not find Aliens info for this cross… But seedfinder has the info on it :

I cracked 11 regular seeds, and plan on keeping all the males alive, to harvest the pollen this summer…

So far they are loving life (knock on wood)…

I will be posting the remaining strains as I crack them…

Thanks for checking my journal out…

Stay Lifted,

-Islander.

Welcome! Looking forward to watching your grow!

 

[boo]

how do you plan on proceeding with those leggy gals...

 

[SubmarineGirl]

They look like they have a good start. I’d transplant them now up to their neck and get them closer to the light. Looking forward to seeing them grow

They just started stretching in the last day… I will be hardening them off and dropping the lites down a bit. I will also be transplanting them when I see more roots start to show through the pucks.

When I soak the pucks, I add B-1, Grozyme, powdered (water soluble) mycorrhiza, and a bit of EM, and Lab. I also spray a water and lab mix on the seedlings, to put beneficial bacteria on them. Just in case any powder mildew thinks it might want to attack them.

I always have great roots when I do this…

Thanks for popping in

I will be stopping by your place to check your journal out as well.. I need more time to check out what others have rockin… Unfortunately, time is very limited for the next couple days..

The new flavours :

Picked for extraction qualities.

 

[IslandGrown77]

Cute, fuzzy little gaffers…

 

[IslandGrown77]

So far only three out of 72 did not crack (fingers crossed). Most stubborn of last ten are slowly getting there…

 

[IslandGrown77]

The future looks good

 

[IslandGrown77]

No-Till, three weeks to go…. I think this is a Mowie Wowie cross. Smells like juicy fruit gum.

 

[IslandGrown77]

Vanilla Frosting 3 weeks left.

that is an excellent rate of germination

Lol. Thanks big guy. The picture is last years harvest White widow. I'm still patiently waiting for my seeds from msnl. They take forever. Think there in Netherland.. but this season I have girl scout cookie, gorilla glue, Durban poison, and Gelato. Very excited. Hope Michigan weather is great this year. Very hard battle it is with weather. Especially the first couple frosts we have. They arrive just before harvest.

Hey David,

Have you thought about making a cheap greenhouse to help you reach the finish line? This one here is a good and cheap design :How To Build A 300 Square Foot Windproof Hoop House For Under $500

Also, have you thought about using Seedbank’s n the US? I just had great results doing so… I used to order from Europe too, but the month long shipping is a *****. But, due to slow shipping times, I also got orders doubled up for free when they did not show up on time (Seedsman).

Those are all nice looking strains you got there…

I ran Widow a bunch back in the day…She is a beut…

I look forward to seeing your grow….

Kudos to the breeders/banks for the good beans… I usually soak them in water (6-1 water to peroxide) for 18 or so hours, then put them in folded wet paper towels. Finally, into ziplock sandwich bags until the tail is good to plant.

Time to transplant some cuts for the first room at my new place…
