IGF's Grow Journal....Nirvana mixed seed II

Imperialgodfly · 05-05-2005, 08:15 AM

Hey Lucian!!

Um, that's not my plant :( I nicked that pic from Overgrow!! My papaya is still a tiny wee wee seedling!!

But, I am going to be watching Alice VERY closely from now until the end of things. hopefully she/it won't want to sprout more girlballs, no way am I going through 3 months of drought for nothing!

ive just had the same thing happen to me.All fucking 6 donkey dicks have got a male pre flower.Im risking it and taking them through.....

Fucking freaks of nature those hermies i tell ya.

Imperialgodfly · 05-05-2005, 11:41 AM

Hey SAF, erm, that's bad news dude (or possibly dudette?) but I'm the same as you.....I've only got the 2 females (or is that now 1 1/2) so I am going to persevere with it for now, unless it goes psycho and sprouts balls left, right & centre.....I've grown hermies b4 (fem seeds, dont bother with 'em ever if you can avoid it) but they were really bad....heck, there were balls growing from pistills growing from balls, what a mess, I was going to have a cracking yield until that happened, so, hermie-watch from now till whenever......

Sorry to hear about the shemale,if you get good genitic seeds its cuts out the chance of the ladies turning hermie

Imperialgodfly · 05-05-2005, 12:00 PM

Sticky fingers: I am putting this one down to bad genes, I mean, I remember when we switched Muff to 12/12 she put on that really weird stretch & had odd singular pistils on the main stem at the join of each internode, she didn't really spread out in the same way as the other plants, and I think it is a relatively recent cross (Jock Horror x some Oaxcan strain)

But, to be on the safe side in the future, I've nailed another sleeping bag across the window and tried my best to stop light leaking in here, I've heard in the past that even matchlight can be enough to turn 'em hermie, tho I never had any problems like this during the last grow in here, so I'm really thinking it's just bad luck.

Imperialgodfly · 05-06-2005, 12:48 PM

lol, dont tempt me on that one Eez!!

Erm, I've had to repot one of the Afghans, it's stretched so much that it pretty much keeled over, so that's looking good now.......and one of my clones finally has a root!! But I don't know which clone is from which plant anymore, so I hope that's not the clone from the hermie! I'm pretty sure it's not, I guess I'll grow it and see...........will post some pics in a few days once the babies are a bit bigger.

As for the big girls, the buds are coming along nicely!!

Lucian · 05-06-2005, 10:54 PM

wooHOO~~~ Congrats on the clone Fly! And they all scoffed and ridiculed haha, who's laughin now eh? haha...that is besides me.

Nice find Esrgud...Disco Nanna!

Imperialgodfly · 05-07-2005, 05:15 AM

Eez: That is one funky banana, it's at dancing than me! Makes a very cool av SAF!!

Yeah, Lucian, we managed to work out that the rooting clone is NOT from the hermie. So, hermie clone goes in bin, this clone gets fussed over with all the ooohs and ahhhs!!

Some pics of everyone, including the newest sprout (sort of like a where's Wally pic that one!)

Great job on the clone, Fly! *applause* and a nice closeup of the papaya sprout ... *stands back up and brushes stray perlite off of face* You have some good size buds growing there, they look almost golf ball size? Do you know when you harvest date is yet? Since our grows are 5 days apart, my target date is June 2nd, tho that may change due to the week of no light.

Imperialgodfly · 05-11-2005, 01:19 PM

Still not sure on the harvest yet Lucian, around about 12th June-ish......

Hmm, sad news, ever hear the lyrics 'Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice!!' Well, I'm wondering the same thing myself. Found another girlball today, remember, I said if I found another 1 she was getting the chop?

Well, it happened, and only just caught this little sucker in time, so, the good news is I now have some grass (of sorts). The bad news is, I'm running 400w for just 1 plant now...so, wave goodbye to all the good people Alice, your dead.............I mean it, Nirvana Special is not a good strain.

Imperialgodfly · 05-11-2005, 02:06 PM

Well, she's been chopped up, found another 4 balls, so that's a total of 6............fortunately none of then had become 'armed and ready for pollen launch'

stoned as fuck · 05-11-2005, 04:44 PM

shame bout that...i see that your plants are fed to the max...

Imperialgodfly · 05-12-2005, 08:26 AM

SAF: Yeah, I have a chart thing that came with my nutes, been following what it says on that since they started flowering........the healthiest plants ever and this had to happen!

As for the smoke...oven-dried at 70c (I believe you can dry it fine as long as you keep it below 80c, something to do with higher temps destroting the thc content) got about 5g from her/it.........VERY cerebral, sativa, incredibly trippy, but rather short-lived (under and hour) Would have been really good at full-term.................hmmmmmm............I'm annoyed but the alternative would be to let Alice keep going, miss a ball, it pollinate the crap outta Janeway, and there would be one very pissed-off fly!

I only found the one, and to be honest, I've had my suspicions about that particular flower for the past 2 weeks, but it is a boygirl.

It has been chopped, and I've taken pic of the offending article, you can clearly see the male anthers (the shiny green banana-shaped structures) inside the female flower. So, what now?

There was only the 1, so I suppose it could be just that, but these hermies!! Argh, if I had more than 2 plants flowering, I would just butcher her/it right now, but I don't know if it's possible to have just the one hermie flower, or will this become more of a problem.........feck............just plain feck!

I think I'll have to write something up about Nirvana Spesh for the strain guides at Overgrow, seeing as there is little to no information about this strain & the 2 I have grown have both been very genetically unstable, to be honest, don't bother with it. It bloody-well better not get any ideas about shagging my other girl!

holy shit these are great pics !

Imperialgodfly · 05-13-2005, 07:40 AM

Hey Jude, Eez!

It breaks my heart to have to butcher such a healthy plant, but that's the way this game is played.......got some more pics......Janeway is starting to pack on the bulk now, she'll be 1/2 way there on Sunday (then about 4 weeks to go) got a mini-cola formed, I'm just relieved that Alice didn't have mad passionate hermie-sex with her or this would be a repeat of the Northern Brights disaster from last spring!

The kiddies are doing good........um, the plants in the terracotta pots are both the Afghans, the little ones in the centre are Papaya, and the clone at the bottom left is Kush (taken from Janeway.) My house is indicalicious!!!

K

And what I got from Alice..........not the prettiest-looking stuff, but it does the job, just a bit on the short-lived side (like Alice herself).....yeah, just did a strainguide on NS for Overgorw.....hmmm, wonder if it's any good?

Lucian · 05-13-2005, 10:24 PM

Atleast your drought is over, no? And nice buddage comming along *nod* So as you are into the indica's....ever do any research on Black Domina? It is called percocet in a bud. I was thinking of trying a grow of some for my GF's fibromyalgia. Nice bud shot again, of you and Janeway. They should be huge by harvest if they are only halfway now

Imperialgodfly · 05-18-2005, 03:21 PM

Heh, that Black Domina sounds a bit strong for me! Heh, I'm a bit of a lightweight lately!! Just a quick piccie post, day 31 of 12/12 today, by christ her Janewayship is packing on the trichomes, she is incredibly frosty at this stage, and we're only 1/2 way there!!!

Smells terrific, very sweet, lemony with a very faint skunk undertone......much more crystals than the last kush :)

those plants look awesome, keep the pics coming.

phezzie · 05-18-2005, 06:12 PM

hi godfly....those plants look absolutely amazing.....my mouth is actually watering when i look at those pics.....

Imperialgodfly · 05-19-2005, 05:15 AM

Thanks guys!!! And it's so cool to see you again Phessie!!!! :nana: Hehe, well, barring the opium plants at the front, it's 'she' singular for now...grrr....nearly at 5 weeks of flowering, so, she could go to 9 weeks, but I think 8 is more likely as she's an early bulker, and was pretty keen on getting started flowering in the first place.
Been able to keep her very dark green, which of course does not show up too well under the sodium, but trust me, she's a sdark as the hermie was when she got the chop, and has only lost 6 leaves (including cotelydons) since she sprouted!! That's a total record for us!!

Anyway, will try get pics of Janeway's main cola...have I said yet she is another Kush? Must've done by now......ah the braincells are tired, had my final exam yesterday so I'm still wiped from that :)

Right, baby pics. It's day 17 of 18/6 in the other room, all are doing well though we already have our suspicions that A1 is a boy. P2 is a rather 'peelie-wallie' shade of green, but seems healthy despite this, and the clone is doing smashingly now. After we planted her in soil it was a bit touch and go, but she's fine now, growing away happily, and I'm rather chuffed now we cloned that kush :)
