AlienAthena's Astronomical Grow Journal

[AlienAthena]

I saw you use some of these strains for stomach issues, and the Wife actually has the same issues and generally uses Skywalker for a lot of them. Have you ever grown that one before ? This year we had to sort of pick and choose what we were going to pop, as I'm not used to having more strains than we can legally have (We're both medical card holders too) and so we generally try to make sure the ones that give us the best medical use get popped, and go from there exploring what other strains might help with. The Skywalker I have (It's just bag seed, nothing I ordered or properly got LOL) but it's leaning REALLY heavy on the Blueberry side, and smells like Blueberry Jam which is, actually pretty nice, though normally I'm not into super fruity stuff, but that does seem to help with the Wife's IBS symptoms. Course if I'm the one on her nerves we go for Blue Cheese cause that cures the Irritating Bastard Shit LOL. Are there any particular strains that help with your stomach though ? I'm always open to find something that might help the Wife with her stomach as we are almost out of Skywalker. Gelato #33 did seem to help too

Hey bro you ever heard of pouring Beer on the CD to make music ? Apparently some years back, and I'm guessing this was one of those accidental finds, discovered that if you poured Beer on the CD, it would eventually make a mold that covered some of the notches that make up the Binary language used on CDs to be read by a processor, and it would totally distort and warp the music on the CD so when you played it back it was nothing like the original. Not sure how well that works, and they may have just used it for sampling, as I've used a Hex Editor to open an MP3 and change around a bunch of the data in it, and save it, but mainly all I got was weird as noises like *BLOOP* *SCREECH* and so on. Technically you could write a song out in a Hex editor though and save it as a media file and play it, though.... I can't say I'd recommend this haha.

I’ve never grown skywalker before but I did smoke some before and enjoyed it if my memory is correct. Dosidos and Cookie crosses and offspring like the Gelato and Sherbet are the best for my stomach issues. One of my favorite strains i’ve grown was Single Scoop (Gelato 33 x Birthday Cake) from Cannarado and also every Dosidos bagseeds i’ve grown lol. Malt Milkshake (Dosidos x Creamsicle #4) was another good one for the stomach. Really if it’s fruity ish or smells like kush then there’s a good chance it’ll help.

hahah no I have never heard of that. However, when i was in the single digit grades, we figured out how to wedge the cd player latch open, so could play it with the lid up, and then use markers to draw on it like spin art or whatever.

@AlienAthena

Thank you! I appreciate the list. Wife did quite enjoy the Gelato #33, and last year she tested positive for Covid and so we had that on her Birthday, which wasn't fun and on her Birthday she was grinding up the last of that Gelato and a single brown spotted bean popped out. I don't care it's bagseed personally that stuff was good, and helped her a lot so it's currently outside with our plants I do have two Fiona's Chem Cake Females out there too, and she has had good success with some Cake strains too so that makes a bit more sense now. Thank you for the list! Appreciate that


@Dino Party

Haha! That's pretty awesome, I imagine the look it would have from spinning and that's sweet!

Hey @AlienAthena it’s been a bit. How have you been doing? Has life been treating you well lately? I got some catching up to do in here…

Wassssuuuuupppp ? I’ve been doing alright same ole same ole, trying to actually chop a plant that doesn’t look like crap but the heat has been winning so far. Granny recently passed but besides that can’t complain about anything! I’ll be updating my journal soon thanks for stopping in ?

 

[Dino Party]

sorry to hear about your granny

I’m so sorry to hear that. My condolences. Hoping you’re doing good health wise. Looking very forward to seeing your journal update! You always have beautiful plants and run some good variety. I love coming through here and seeing what you got going on.

 

[BH]

love the journal & glad your doing good, I’m also a huge dosidos whore. It’s one of those strains even if old it keeps it’s shelf life hardcore. Smoke that stuff everyday <3

 

[Psychobilly]

Sorry about Grandma. Hope you're alright.

Yeah I need to keep some in rotation I keep distracted by other things when I open the seed drawer but no more… Also need to pick a couple more Dosidos crosses before the year ends. I’ve been smoking on some Purple Runtz, Apples & Bananas, and an Obama cross and i’ve been enjoying all of them a lot which was expected so I need to refocus my energy or strains like those

Archive has Expedition packs for pretty cheap. He reversed his Dosi #18 and hit a bunch of elites

Yeah, we'll now turn it over to 'rok for Generation X Nostalgia Hour.

I recall the original cassette Walkman and what a game changer that was. Until then your options for music were house stereo, car stereo, or a boom box that weighed 300 pounds and took $2000 worth of batteries (that were drained after a couple hours).

Having a "personal stereo" was absolutely amazing. I could never afford an actual Walkman, but had numerous cheap knock-offs. Being able to not only hear my music clearly, anywhere, and also to be able to shut out the world, was awesome.

I thought we'd reached the pinnacle of tech, but no, the worlds greatest scientists took it even further with the invention of auto-reverse.

That was the peak, and since then mankind has begun our slow descent back into the muck.

Kids will never know the pain of having to fast forward rewind to get to their favourite track. Buying cassette albums haha.
I tell my kids I'll pull out the commodore 64 and you'll know all about the load times if you think something isn't loading or starting g quick enough. I didn't have the coin for CD discmans. Parents didn't see the point in me having that when my cassette walk man worked perfectly fine. The tight arse bred into me haha.

Sorry to hear about your grandma AA, i hope you got to spend time with her before she passed.

If you can catch a Clearwater sale Malt Milkshake (Dosi 18 x Creamsicle 4) can be snagged for like $50. Haven't had any Dosi yet but I hear good things.

 

[AlienAthena]

HMMMMMM so I've been having some problem in the flower tent... Im thinking I need to back off on the Megacrop but still confused as the plants look great until around the 4th-5th week of flower and then we have some hot messes on our hands. I also need to use my PH meter way more than I do, need to get more rigid.

Alright so here's how looked end of July (ignore the reeeall bad plants thats from the HPS)



And currently






So what y'all thinking? Left side is mostly testers so not trying to mess em up

Lol I have a pack and i’ve ran a seed that survived when I tried doing a big Clearwater run. I enjoyed it, it’s one i’ll run when I have some pollen to spread around

 

[Psychobilly]

Are you thinking the nutes are too much after week 5 ? I don't know much about HPS at all to be honest as I'm mainly outdoor (except for 2 LED lights I use for getting seedlings and clones going) so I'm not aware of what that would do.

this is what my plants look like when I let them get too dry in between feeding/watering.. Or if my temps are too high.

Here’s my questions:
Are you letting your pots dry out some but not too much between feedings? Is it on an auto watering system? I found sometimes plants don’t eat as much as other and when auto watering multiple strains at ones it can be difficult to dial thay in.

Ph could play a huge part in it. So why did you quit checking it? That’s the one thing I always check. I won’t check my ppm all the time but I always check my ph.

And my last question is have you set up thermometers in separate parts of your tent? I didn’t realize it but rents can have hit and cold pockets. Like one spot where the air misses circulation and causes a pocket of just swirling hot air. I had this in the corner of my closet beciae of the odd shape so I had to add multiple fans to keep all the air moving and the heat down.

I really hope you figure it out! ?

 

[Frimpong]

Heat or overwatering has done that to me a few times . Hope u get it figured out ?
