The Dark Alley Club - Sad, seedy loners welcome.

Best idea I've stolen from a user on another forum in a while ... essential oil bottles and case for seed storage



The bottles are air tight and water proof, blue for fems and amber for regs. Top tray has room for all my freebies and sealed packs, as well as all the extra tubes and plastic seed packs for when i want to trade.

Only problem is I smoked some Cindy 99 before I started this project ... at the end I found three unlabeled tubes with with one seed stuck in each haha... so now i have 3 mystery seeds. Eventually ill figure out which strains are missing a seed but ill never know which is which lol.

The dangers of being a stoner.

That Cindy 99 is potent shit btw... maybe the strongest plant I've ever grown. Reminds me of the first time I smoked Jack Herer in Amsterdam. Super head and body high. None of my friends or family will smoke it haha. Ive gotten feed back of panic attacks and near hallucinogenic highs from it.

I enjoy it, but even I need to go easy on it. And it makes me do things like not notice seeds left in the vial apparently.

The pregnant ladies, all thoroughly pollinated. Seeing seeds popping out all over, especially on the SxB. I forgot I changed my mind at the last second and didn't pollinate the Rom because I wanst happy with the the growth and lil Romy hadn't shown sex yet ... which is fine because im going to keep lil Romy as a mom for a bit and see what she brings. The other three ladies in there are actually the Dope Beard Durban, Sin City Juice and Aluna.

Debating on moving them back into the big tent. I know the extra light and attention would help them develop better but im super paranoid of stray pillen getting to the other girls. Anyone ever done a seed run under limited light? I don't care about getting huge buds off these as long as the seeds develop fully. Considering just running them in this tent all the way through but theres only a HLG v65 in there.

@Amos Otis will you get a load of this? Took my son for a good long canoe trip when its was just shy of triple digit temps ... snuck a quick cone in then headed to Mac ds for some parfaits .... none of our local "restaurants" are currently carrying them due to coronavirus! Sundaes either! Horseshit. Now I have neither a new clone cup nor a cold, delicious and refreshing treat.

Black Cherry Pebbles ... giving her another weekish

(WIAT) — It’s National Ice Cream Day! How do you plan on celebrating the sweet foodie holiday?
Its origins are believed to have taken place thousands of years ago when Persians put snow in a bowl with juice. Fast forward, from Neapolitan to chocolate chip cookie dough, there’s no shortage of flavors.
And that’s not all. Ice cream has truly evolved.

You can also get it nitrogen-blasted, hand-rolled, or charcoal-infused.
Share you’re favorite flavors on social media with the hashtag #NationalIceCreamDay.

Forgot to snap any pics but Eso's Big N Tasty got up-potted today. She was needing water twice a day in the little pot! Despite being the last planted of the fem trio, she's by far the biggest. Gonna give her a few days to settle into her new home then she goes into the flower tent.

Black Cherry Pebbles is getting chopped tomorrow.

PS. I HATE FUNGUS GNATS. The diatomaceous earth didn't help at all. I probably didn't use it right or something ... but I'm still frustrated.

I'm slacking on this journal apparently... forgot to mention I dropped a Grape Pupil, courtesy of @GCG, as well as a G13 Peach Puree CBD... I don't have much experience with CBD strains, not something that appeals to me personally .. . but I have some friends and family inquiring about them so I'm starting to mess around with them a bit more....

Both are up after about 3 days if I recall correctly.

Also trying my hand at cloning again. Grabbed one off the Chem D x Chocolate diesel about a week ago thats not rooted ... but also not dead ... so thats progress... and I took one off Lil Romy today as well

Speaking of Lil Romy, the smell off that girl is amazing, and pure nostalgia, so after my initial disappointment with AKs version of the strain I'm getting kind of excited. The other female smells super sweet and fruity ... lil romy has that but also this deep, earthy funk. Its super familiar but im having trouble placing it. Really hope I can get some clones going off her.

Almost forgot ... got some mail yesterday from @SCJedi ... super excited to grow these out

Got a little weekend canoe getaway coming up first weekend in August so I'm trying to simplify things so my old man only has so many instructions to follow caring for the girls ... but when I get back ... shits going down ... and by shit I mean more beans

 

[Bruno8437]

@SCJedi has some great gear, just ask @Uncle Rom.
Looks like there's going to be a whole bunch of Nigerian Sunshine bud for New Years.

Ya, Uncle's pictures are directly responsible for me reaching out for these beans ... I really can't wait to get one of these NS#2 crosses going ... i vacillate between trying the Granny Skunk or Goji OG first hourly haha... and its taking all of my willpower to not drop em before I have space

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Black cherry pebbles came down tonight .... smells like bubble gum and fruity pebbles, super sweet. Almost forgot to take some pictures...



Those pictures don't do it justice, its one of the prettiest plants I've ever grown. The buds themselves are DARK purple at the core, near black, and get lighter as you move towards the outer edges. The sugar leaves range from pale pink to that same near black purple. The hairs are a super pale orange. The range of colors is unbelievable.

Can't wait to smoke a little.

Meanwhile ... check out this interesting mutation...


This was the main stem. Early on the BCP struggled a bit and the center cola shriveled when she was still tiny ... after a while two colas branched out of that spot creating this crazy bud donut. You can still see the little shriveled first leaves in there.

All in all pretty happy with the results so far

The 4 coco ladies are looking healthy ... short, but healthy.

Behind them on the left is the peach puree CBD. The super tiny gal is the Grape Pupil. She struggled a bit getting out of her shell (a problem Im running into more and more frequently for some reason) but seems fully recovered now. Excited for this lineup.



Creme de la Chem auto and a couple cloning attempts... one useful Chem D x CD and one AKBB Romulan.


One of the titular seedy loners...

Eso's Big N Tasty entered the flowering chamber yesterday.... shes got some crazy leaf twist going on

But its hard to pinpoint the issue because my veg tent has somehow wound up all out of whack ... super low humidity for a while, super high temps for a while,, gnat infestation (think the DE is finally working), too many fans trying to combat the gnats ... etc .... and she had a tough start as well... had to manually remove her seed shell and she definitely had N toxicity for a while ... its a testament to @thenotsoesoteric breeding that she's hung in there so well and grew vigorously enough to be first into flower from that round... one day on 12/12 and she seems to be perking right up

Dynoberry Bites and Blackened Oranges are waiting patiently for their turn to shine now

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Half the BCP got jarred last night ... messed up my back at work so I couldn't handle leaning over the tray long enough to get through the whole thing ... did the biggest nugs first, 38g so far ... snuck a sample nug ... smells like bubblegum, taste like fruity pebbles.... friend stopped by for a few socially distant beers so I cant speak to the high too much yet but it seems like a good daytime weed... didnt get super stoned, did wonders for the aforementioned back pain though... buds are little on the fluffy side for my personal preference but are still pretty solid, great bag appeal despite my usual hack job trim

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Looking good in the flower room ... thinking the Monkey Juice is close... it feels good that the tent is getting crowded again ... feels right


Probably should've uppotted Dynoberry Bites and Blackened Oranges a little sooner haha... they needed water twice a day the last few days


Blackened Oranges is a bushy monster ... with a REALLY unique odor ... almost vomitish, but not awful? Hard to even explain ... never smelled a plant even remotely like it before, especially not in veg still


Took a couple clones off the Dynoberry Bites and did a little LST ... shes gonna be in the veg tent for a while waiting for some room so she's gonna get more training than I usually do ... I'll grab a couple more clones off her after my trip ...

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

All the plants in coco got uppotted today

Cob's Candy wins the award for best looking roots... shes cranking... forgot how fast plants grow in coco


Eso's Welchie


Back to front: Detroit Lemonade, Cob's Candy, Chem D x Banana OG

And believe it or not that scraggly, tortured looking thing on the right is a Chem D x Chocolate Diesel clone I took in early flower just to see what happened... and it is actually rooted... no idea if she'll make it

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Lil Romy is doing way better, she's also going to get cloned again when I get back.. as soon as I get a clone to take Im gonna flower it and see if she's a keeper like I'm hoping

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Just watered and fed everything for the last time before I head out tomorrow... Gentlemancorpse Sr will be taking care of my plants in my absence... Im a little concerned... made it as simple as possible but he's not the best at following instructions no matter how explicit...

Wish one of you was my neighbor lol

I thought about trying out some automated irrigation but then I spent 2 hours last Sunday morning vacuuming water out of my growmies basement when I went to check on his place and his irritated had failed and that idea suddenly seemed even less appealing

Oh well, everything will be well enough I suppose!

Haven't been fresh water fishing in ages ... excites to give it another shot
