BBHP @HydroRed
I'm gonna take a half dozen of those tops? of the 3 this one in the middle has always been numeral ono but that growth after the abuse I gave 'em is amazing so she'll produce part of my Oct harvest AND my Dec harvest AND a mom. Dude, serious ❤ here for ya. I don't wanna take long showers or nothin but luv ya man? I'll get you some of those GDP beans. @Meatman KILLED it as you saw. It ain't the strongest out there but those grapes and berries makes it all worth it.

Around those BBHP's I've got some Mother's Milk, Gorilla Hammer, Black Abyss and Captain's Candy

getting their grove on again and making a bunch of tops for me. These will get thrown in the lg greenhouse once I've raped them of tops.

Unfortunately the GDP and Gopher (just smoked some fine frickin Gopher yesterday) seed runs are on hold and looks to be my winter grow. I'm gonna give it my all to get as many seeds as possible of this GDP into your hands. Promise. I love my winter grows and the cold really brings out the color of this plant. Look what Meanman did

That's a pretty bud that even tastes purple, no lie. Ask Meanman. I really wanna get these and those Gophers out there for everyone.

This frickin hemp

Is amazing. I've taken 4 clones so far but will take many more in the next month. 18% CBD is worth growing.

While I'm still getting a few strawberries
20220722_081106.jpg
Here's 8 new plants. There's dozens more, I just have to set up the pots of coco for 'em.

Glad your diggin the BBHP. Being an indoor guy, I really didnt have much outdoor info on them when they were given out but I've come to realize that both the original cut and the S1's do very well outdoors. Out of curiosity, what kind of yield do you get from your strawberries?

This is my first year of coco hydro berries and I concentrated on runners and not fruit. Maybe 4-5lbs all toll but again I wanted more plants this first year so I can fill a 2' x 4' spot for next year and really produce some berries. In the ground with the bugs I've been lucky to get 4-5lbs with many more plants. Between the bugs, birds and rats I needed to more the berries into a greenhouse to make it worthwhile.

I've been a Blueberry strain fan since my first taste 20+ yrs ago. Mixing it with Hash Plant was brilliant. I hope to cross it with the GDP, Purpleberry Hash Plant?

The cloner/seed popper
20220730_081535.jpg
20220730_081824.jpg
is killing it
20220730_081915.jpg 20220730_081919.jpg
9 of 10 GDP are rooted well and will be planted this evening. The two I took the cuttings from are beginning to stretch
20220730_074526.jpg
as days are getting shorter and they're in the lg greenhouse w/o supplemental lighting. I have it wired with fixtures but they make the damn thing glow and stick out badly.

After cleaning all the drip heads I've found another issue, fittings. One half of a tee connector
20220730_101302.jpg
was clogged and the small hemp plant on the left
20220730_101318.jpg
wasn't being fertigated (I'm checking pretty much everything since the pumps went out). I noticed all these little tips were wilting
20220730_102742.jpg
By the time they start wilting the coco is pretty dry and ideally you never want the coco to dry out. When it does happen I have to rehydrate the coco completely so the process works?

While I'd love to take more GDP's I've got BBHP, Gorilla Hammer, Mother's Milk, Black Abyss and Capt's Candy to clip. All keepers will be given 10-12 weeks in the sm greenhouse w/ supplemental lighting at 15hrs. Gonna be a packed house until I can harvest the lg greenhouse. Fun times?

Another trees roots growing around a toilet kinda day?
20220801_150205.jpg
Just a few blocks away there's several blocks of homes built on cement slab and some idiot thought pepper trees would create some nice shade and failed to research these bastards which are known to grow roots in search of water, breaking drain pipes and in some cases main water lines. About 6 years ago I saw an entire bedroom dug up trying to find a leak that was saturating it. 3-4" diameter pepper tree roots had been cut and removed. I found the leak under the driveway, opposite side of the house from the tree and repaired it in like an hour and they had been working on it for weeks. The leak was running from the drive to under the house and the pepper tree on the other side was sending roots under the house after the water. Bad news when they're growing next to a house on a slab or over a sewer pipe.

It's been a long time since my main tray in the sm greenhouse was this empty
20220801_183528.jpg
Realistically I have room for 18 plants in 1 gal fiber pots on this tray, 9 in another shower pan and 8 in the laundry pan so 35 plants all toll but only for the first 6-7 weeks of age then things start to get crowded.

I moved the strawberries from the top shelf east side to the floor level on the west side of the lg greenhouse
20220801_181629.jpg
This is a 2×4' section and
20220801_182150.jpg
another 2×2'. The greenhouse is 16' long so my goal until March is growing as many runners and then filling the entire length. I can fit 9 plants in each 2×2 section so that would be (takes shoes off to count) 72 strawberry plants to fill it. The plants seem to like the new lo cal with all those flowers?

When ya get home after a long day and see this
20220801_180956.jpg
You know there are one or more of these
20220801_181053.jpg
Little bastard is now a stain on the bottom of my shoe. There's more. These moths usually lay several dozen eggs on a leaf. I've got at least 6 weeks before harvest so Captain Jack's should take care of the problem.

I've had a couple of these guys this summer
20220730_152411.jpg
Several weeks ago I saw some stems stripped and knew what to look for but as I approached I saw a weird dance
View attachment 20220711_110525.mp4
I watched this for about 5 minutes. The fly is one of the good guys trying to lay her eggs on the back of the catipiler. The eggs hatch and the babies eat the cat alive. Pretty fucking gruesome. They're real good at getting Monarch cats which sucks
20220722_080552.jpg
I love our Monarchs?

So camped out in the lg greenhouse
20220802_154645.jpg
Sitting on a plastic crate taking a break from readying cutting landing spots
20220802_154147.jpg
I've got this killer Captain's Candy
20220802_150803.jpg
in a frickin' solo cup waiting for me to start clipping. Love this plant and will transplant into a 2 gal pot of coco.

3 Mother's Milks 20220802_153933.jpg
have claimed a 2x2' section. They really smell different. Cuttings will join the party today.

More cuttings of this #1 BBHP too
20220802_151115.jpg
Only got 7, need more?

BBHP #2
20220802_151356.jpg
I should get a few bt's off of that?

GDP's still stretching
20220802_153940.jpg
I've got 10 of 10 clones, 7 in 1 gal pots of coco and at least 2 will go into 2+ gal pots. "I'll name them george and love them and squeeze them..." (Bugs Bunny reference, I'm OLD!).

Still hot in here
20220802_144148.jpg

Cherry tomatoes have taken off
20220802_154206.jpg
since the new pump. These pear shaped yellow cherries are very sweet.

I've got to put down the damn joint and get to work, mixing another drink and then taking cuts?

Cuts cuts
20220803_171610.jpg
and more cuts
20220803_143416.jpg
These 5 are from the large hemp. The 2+ dozen above are: Basil, Gorilla Hammer, Mother's Milk, Black Abys, Captain's Candy and BBHP.

3 moms
20220803_161946.jpg
Black Abys left, Captain's Candy right and Gorilla Hammer up front. Amazed any look this good after the pump burnout.

BBHP #1
20220803_165711.jpg I can only imagine just how large this one could have been. The 3 BBHP's faired better as they were in 3 gal pots which took longer to dry out.

This one was infested with moth larva
20220803_165721.jpg

This one was so bad I left it outside
20220803_171352.jpg
I didn't seen any more evidence of worms today.

Mother's Milk.
20220803_165603.jpg

Moth larva love my basil too
20220803_140346.jpg

First cuts taken 2 weeks ago
20220803_160513.jpg
GDP in the gallon and 1.5 gallon pots. 1 GDP in solo cup, other 4 are hemp.

Harvest in about 2 months and should be decent. Purple Pounder, 2 GDP's, 3 Mother's Milk and 3 BBHP's. Dec harvest should be much larger with all the clones. As soon as room allows I'll get GDP seeds going for my winter grow/preservation run.

Got home and torched a GDP then rolled up a Gherry
ddc1f794bb3c777970afe39c228cc463--front-teeth-baby-beaver.jpg
All that's left of the Gherry. Been jarred for 5-6 months and is knock down good
20220804_164411.jpg
I bagged those five nugs for later, bday or Thanksgiving or...stoopid high.

Grabbed some jarred MF'er auto for the next couple days
20220804_173013.jpg
I left sugar leaves on this one and a couple other of my spring harvest because I was burnt with manicuring. I've heard pro and con on when to manicure. This worked well, I'll start leaving them on while jarred. I can always manicure as needed.

Those hemp cuts I took yesterday
20220804_161157.jpg
Lookin good. The large cloner is full
20220803_171610.jpg
All but 2 look good and they may come around.

I moved most of the herbs
20220804_181405.jpg
bottom east side and they seem to like it.

Decisions were made
20220804_181124.jpg
Part of the game but always hate clipping plants.

Getting full again
20220804_181326.jpg
I plan on keeping tomatoes year round in here as well as the herbs and strawberries.

This sink has been a back saver
20220804_181444.jpg
I can mix water without having to bend over and I'm still mixing several gallons a day.

I can think of 5 subdivision in Rancho Bernardo that should be Ready for you also by Now
This year

I don't wanna do many more of these?

Have you seen your greenhouse heater turn into a seed popper and now a cloner?
20220806_090814.jpg
I've got 2 100 watt heaters not in use currently but come November they'll get used again. Works great and cheaper than anything else at about $10 each a month to run.

These were all clipped 4 days ago 20220806_090805.jpg
20220806_090756.jpg
20220806_090809.jpg
All kinds of good stuff and some Capt's Candy above and below
20220806_090727.jpg
One on the right. Smells sweet. Hope it keeps that sweetness.
