However, letting it sit just makes sure the pH and NPK levels are in

Hey folks...I just wanted to let you know that the Mowie wowie that i got
from
the breeder from hawiia is an AWESOME plant..it is faster and stronger
than anything i have right now...the smell is like LEMONS..just like
them....and they are very uniformed......they are waste high and very very
nice stuff..they are out doing the flo and the super skunk...and the huron
and niagra....i will be able to compare them to cinderella99 soon....
keep in mind that taste tests have not been done..despite the fact that
i was
told by a reliable source that it was way way way potent we will have to
wait..just right now it is more vigorous and smells better than the rest....
It does not clone as easily as flo though..nothing does so far....this
strain i
speak of is nopt available by anyone of the seedbanks..if it is as good
as i
think it will be i will send some samples to the proper folks that can
judge
it......but if the buds smell as nice as the plants..jesus crist it will

think of that recipe as one of the best....
when you have done this with just regular dirt you will know that those

Well here in the southern United States I know a couploe of growers that
have done this for thirty years and never been busted...I only know a couple
indoor growers..the only bust i know of was a guy growing indoors then
trasnsplanting outdoors...they busted him from a tipo that his truck was
always parked in the certain same spot in the woods...he didnt go to
jail....and they conciderd him an EXPERT and genius because he had
crossed a satavia and an indica and was using a HPS light indoors to
grow.....they busted him with $10 and $5 bags ready to go and like 100
seedlings in his home and 40 patch that had no camofladge whatso
ever....he was an ignorant grower...but he didnt go to jail...narcotics
units
here know so little about the ins and outs about this that you rewally
dont
hear about busts....when they fly they fly for two days..6 hours each day..to
cover the whole county. 99% of the time they just pull the plants and go
home...
You can not find primo buds for sale ANYWHERE around here..the demand
is so high because there arent any suppliers...you can find home grown
but
the growers are R$EALLY lacking the genetic material to really crack your

Treleway - thanks for bringing your hermie problems to our attention. I
take
this seriously as should all growers. Budm, I'm still using the same mother
and father for romberry so the old and new should be the same except the
old will be smaller and may no longer be 100% germination. They may
have dropped to 95% :)
I don't baby my plants so that I can purposely expose any hermie
tendancies. I have literally grown out hundreds of romberries and I seem
to
recall I full blown hermie and three or four partial ones. The partial
ones
were on my first batch and I suspect the result of some sort of stress
like
early flowering. They produces a few male flowers at the base of the lower
buds. Clones from these did not hermie.
I've gotten to know romberry's parents quite well and feel comfortable
saying that any hermie tendancies would come from the blueberry line
rather than the romulan line. The fact that your blueberries are still
doing
well makes your post even more interesting. It is easier to induce blueberry
to reverse sex through stress than romberry. Blueberry also stresses
easier than romberry.
Trelaway - I feel quite certain that there was a screw-up someplace or
somewhere. I'm certain that if you can verify your order with RC that he
would send a replacement. That is if you would be willing to waste more
space on them :) Or you can deal with me direct if you have an anon addy.

Hi all, just a observation from a newbie, afoaf is doing his 1st controlled

few diffrent strains, just to see what results from it. He had to leave
a
branch on his wwxcob to mature the seeds, allthough the rest of the
unpollinated branches were harvested last week. And he has noticed that
the seed bracts are covered in stalked tricomes, so much so that it looks
like a carpet of white fuzz, I suppose that its mother natures way of "coating"
the seeds to protect them against the elements till the spring time. Ingmars
ww x cob X peak19, maybe the cross will be a good one. Its easy to see
haow the seed bracts provide a good jacket against the winter hasrshness

others i have 2 in 10" pots that are about 18" tall and they look like
a

of learning the art of Bonsi.
anyhow...
i had mine under floros at first and this worked out great for the size

Hi All,
Vic, Do you use a "Set" of parents to produce the Romberry seeds? Be
cause the question I have is, can two sets of seeds, from the same parents
just produced by diffrent clones in diffrent times, have one batch more
predisposed do going hermi, or taken a step further, If the beans that
my
friend recieved from RC in Oct, had been the same ones that Trelaway
recieved would they under the same conditions maybe not hermi up on
him, I hope I explained it clearly. Because seed banks/ breeders etc, seem
to allways point the finger at "enviromental stress", Im just wondering
if
there is a great amount a varience in the possiablity of hermis,
from batch to batch, like in the exact closet and conditions, that my friends
Roms did well in with no hermis, would other Rom seeds go hermi, due to
there on variables, can stress be a factor when the Mom is making the
seeds?

TOPIC - Why keep mothers?
DATE - 10:44:09 3/28/99
FROM - Rover
Trelaway do you find it easier to keep mothers and clone from them? I find
that it's easier to take whatever clones you need and then grow them out
and start again from cuttings. This seems to take up less space and your
always assured a fresh crop. Assuming that you dont loose potency with
successive cycles.
I always felt that my mothers were getting older and less efficient with
time
(several years). Most people seem to say that the age of a plant doenst
effect its potency but I dont necessarily agree. I always feel that "old"
is bad
because of how it can be related to any living organism. Not that the strain
is old but the actual plant is old as with genetics older means better
as
long as selection is at play. Obviously this is more important when
breeding is concerned but genetics may still be an issue with a single
strain that is just being cloned to preserve that plants traits.
Any opinions?

Justice, my sympthy goes out to you bro. I just had my first infestion(thanks
to my beloved dog who brought them in) after 13 years of indoor gardens.
Pyrethrin in aerosol is what I found to be most effective for mature larger
plants, spray every third day up to 2-3 weeks before harvest.(I prefer
the
bomb to do the space rather than spraying the leaves) The life cycle is
4-6
weeks dependant on temp and they go thru 4 juvenile stages before they
grow wings and you can see them and then they start laying eggs. Until
you
can empty your grow for a few weeks to deny them food they will be
practically impossible to completly eleminate. I kept my space clear for
three weeks but that wasnt long enough. For smaller plants the safer soap
solution works well but in a larger grow its very diffult to wash all the
leaves.
Luck man.

maturing AF#1, that had been left unculled to long. Any how the resulting
seeds germed great, he now he has 2, 6 week old girls, but for sure there
mom was much more vigerous, that F1 vigor is no BS, they are about 4"
shorter than she was at the same age, and they are in the same
enviroment,light, medium ferts yada yada yada. They did keep moms smell
for sure, I cant belive how just a few grow tips, on a vegging
young(6week)girl can produce so much smell!! Vic you must have that
Ozone cranked all the way up!! If any ones intrested Ingmars cross of WW
with CalOrange, is absolutly fantastic,in every respect, white tricomes
so
frosty that it resembles fuzz, and only about a 45-50 day flower, the only
down side is the yield, not a great one, however it was only one female,
bad
ratio from germed seeds, but thats all luck of the draw.This cross overcame
the "sour" widow tang, that "Ingmars Punch"(wwxskunk)had, and really
taste is a big consideration, Ings "Magic Crystal" is a definite repeet,

curious to know if this is the same genetics? Im sure you probably have

Really wicked looking plants. The kept the big symmetric thick stemmed

TOPIC - polm and cold water extraction
DATE - 13:29:53 3/22/99
FROM - pi
we had a group of people look at this technique about a year back and the
idea was dropped because although it works well, the resulting polm is
of
a lesser quality than can be attained via the screen method. imho, the
extraction method is for one who plans on selling the polm and is not
concerned with quality.
when using the screen method, one can collect 1st rub, 2nd rub etc with
each successive rub being of of less quality than the previous rub. so
for
my stash i like the idea of using a screen or a shaker method. that way
i
can segregate the 1st rub for my presonal stash and the remaining rubs
can be used as you see fit.

i was wondering if mr. high could give a few specs on what to look for
if you
are trying to tell some strains apart from his romulan/ romberry suprises...
they all have huge solar fan leaves, some have red racers up the stalks
(blueberry?), but i wanted to know about branching, stockiness, aroma,
etc.

Hi All
pi- That description of Rom's taste, is exactally how I described it, the
berry
kindof lemoney,with a strong hashy undertone. And it holds well so far
in
the fridge, in glass jar since Jan, with no noticeable loss of anything.
Well the F2 generation is indeed variable,Ak47 sat/doms looked identicle
untill 5th week 12/12, the two girls were very uniform all along, now one
is
really filling out and fatting up, while the other is not.The combonations
that
can occur in the f2 generation are great, if you have the space to grow
out a
large amount of beans to find what your after. I suppose to a degree thats
required with some F1s too, because they are not stabilized. Did any one
read the new HT where Greenhouses head breeder said that he releases
F1s to the public, when a sample of like 100beans sent to a lab to get
DNA
mapped,showes 80% stability, that 8 out of 10 beans will look identicle
on
there individule DNA map.Look for Arjan on the cover, the worlds most
famous dealer, and media hound..lol;-) Serioulsy its a good issue this
timw
, the centerfold is really 3 centerfolds, of 25 close-ups of buds entered
in
the cup. A good article was penned by "Patty Collins". And shes right how
can one really tell quality when your rolling "bombers", enen schwag will
stone ya if you smoke enough. i really like the Idea of the dutch counterparts
cup, Highlife magazine, blind samples only submitted by number, no strain
name, or seedbank name, and the judges have three weeks not 3 days-
1week to smoke the entries. And no huge 'Smokers Balls and parties" to
politically lobbie for a seed company/coffeshop, thats like the political
process in the US buy the votes why the HL winner this year"Sensi star"
from paradise, Is a "wish list" for sure. High life mag has a cool site,
Ill put
the URL/link below, check out the "Weed Cam" in a Dutch grow room, and
the "Bush Dr" is a good resource.Click on "English" unless your Dutch id
fluent.
To any one using cold-water extraction/blender to make hash, afoaf, got
a
much bigger funnel for the silk-screen, and yielded a much higher amount,
than before with a small funnel, makes sense more surface area to utilize,
more tricomes/gland-heads passing through. So far the Rom leaves made
the best quality hash, and tastiest. Yall be safe..

ph & powerhouse - not quite sure what you are talking about. I respect
the

romulan but me and the bros have always kept our distance. Maybe I've

All five

Rover - hey what was your romulan source? I've been wanting to grow out
Emery's version but have been having trouble hooking up. Pure romulan
(pine bud) is an incedible plant, I was hoping Emery's breeder was able
to
closely duplicate it.
Say, the new names are welcome, but where is all the new traffic coming
from? This page hasn't been listed on any search engines has it?
trelaway - eating cannabis would be my preferred method of getting stoned
except I never have the time to process the stuff. I wish I knew someone

As for your question, Stark's Marijuana Chemistry book goes into this in
the
most detail of all my readings. It showed tremendous variation but yes
I
believe vegged plants were also high in THC. Brain's a little fuzzy on

Budm- Thanks for that link. I was stickin my nose around in there but
could'nt find any specs on their strains. Oh well, I guess i'll just have
to
make my own.
Romberry sounds like a nice strain, i've heard nothing but good things
about it. Im regretting not getting shiskaberry on my last order with SoL.
Went with romulan instead and my healthiest plants got really sticky and
skinky but alot a variation between plants. It seemed the best ones were
only topped once for two huge kolas. Good strains indeed my friend!
Vic- Thanks for the insight into the BWidow. Im hoping that my luck is
at
least 50/50 on ladies so I can be more selective. I just hope she's
cloneable. Have you any luck in that department? Im not anticipating a
heavy return as you had mentioned. I am curious to see how sticky they
get
and if fans do also like WW. Well good luck with your duration. Ill keep

what's the good word peoples? just cruisin through the neighborhood and
found something of interest in a post from vic not too long ago. something
about the domes of his cloning trays effectively holding oxygen (as a p/s
byproduct) to retard fungus or rot infection with his clones. this made
me
wonder if there was a direct ratio of 1:1 co2 and oxygen between p/s and
respiration. what i'm getting at is if you had a self contained garden
with an
airseal and no ventilation on a flowering cycle, could the co2 produced
during respiration be sufficient enough to sustain the room during the
light
hours? hhhhhmmmmmmm.......
any thoughts?

Hi all
Munty, best of luck to your friend;-)
Rover, I know Munty listed NCGA's European site, but he recently set up
a
new site, that he(NCGA) promises to be updated(Even though all thats
done so far is to mirror the content of the Europe site, stay tuned to
it
once-in-a-while,I guess for up-dates) The link is below.
Well let me tell ya the most impressive strain since afoafs first strain
which
was Romberry, has really come along nicely, its Peak19, and in both of
its
phenos its a real sight, it comes in a Stonehedge and Mat Tundra
expression, they both start frosting with tricomes early(2weeks), the
MatTundra would work great when you need a really short plant, the spec
at
Sag says they are a/b .5-.75meter, the one MT/P19 girl that afoaf has is
18",after 4weeks 12/12,they streach so little, it was forced at 13", and
basically all of its branches are starting to form one whole plant connected
cola, It would be great in "Arena" style grows for the rows that need short
style plants, or any grow where hight is a factor.
Also "Magic Crystal" (WWxCalO) from Ingmar is a great strain also, the
odor
is unmistakeably "Orange"at 4weeks12/12, and the flowers are twice as fat
in diameter as any of the 5 strains in the grow, Ingmar must select against
skinny colas, because the "Ingmars Punch"(WWxSkunk) was the same
really fat colas, I guess 17years can lead to really fine atributes in
strains,
thats alot of time to grow out lots of generations, and do lots of selecting
and backcrossing.
Well thats it folks, yall be safe, and take care, Vic I was at the main
page
yesterday it keeps getting better and better, how do you find the time?
I
would venture to say your somewhat of a efficency expert with you free
time,
more power to ya Bro ;-)

I've been toying with fungas knats recently and have found diligence
regarding free standing water in the grow helped lots; particularly wiping
the drip trays dry after watering. It means going around a half hour
afterward and towel drying the drip trays but it seems to work.
Also, I have a small one lite grow so this only takes me ten minutes, could
be a pain for bigger grows with big pots.

Munty - I wasn't intending to recommend any particular procedures. I was
just giving my perspective of the unique situation you mentioned. However,
my experience with tree and shrub clones isn't much different than
herbaceous cuts such as MJ except that sometimes the woody cuts have a
longer time frame. My hunch that monitoring health would be a bigger
concern still holds though :)
OT - We actually call Hypoaspis miles a fungas gnat preventor. In soil
applications, this is the best biological control I've ever seen. It doesn't
die
off when the the fungas gnats are gone. It simply sustains itself on other
dead organics in the soil. It also helps prevent thrips populations from
becoming established, amongst other pests. It had no effect on mites
though, :)
Rover - I planted 5? BW seeds and ended up with 2 girls. One girls was
tall
(~4') and the other short (~3'). They both naturally bushed out somewhat
when grown in 2 gal pots. I expect to harvest at month end, and at this
point,
they are not the heaviest yielders. From what I've read, this plant is
grown
for qualities other than yield (potency and flavour :). My observations
may be
just random chance though with such a small sample size. I feel lucky to
be
growing them and can't wait to see the outcome.

Hey Rover
Ncga usuallyis in and out of these boards..someone here im sure has his
email addy..he would be the best person to ask about his stuff...but your
lights look ok...as for keeping it short and bushy just pinch it back...pinch
the new growth and put it on a plate until it drys..keep doing this with
all the
new groth that grows from the nodes and eventually you will be able to
roll a
joint form the stuff..this will cause your plant to grow two branches where
there were only one....If you need more details just ask...

Thanks Vic,
would you recommend these techniques for cloning small trees and
shrubs?
Munty
TOPIC -
DATE - 07:40:50 3/17/99
FROM - Vic High
Munty - my hunch is that your friend will have far greater problems
monitoring the health of teh plants than worrying about the physical
activities such as planting and watering.
Even transplanting should be a snap no matter the medium with the right
techniques. simply let the roots develope and then let the medium dry
somewhat. push bottom of cell and voila! up pops the little clone, rootball
and all.
I think monitoring for pests, assessing nutrient and pH problems would
be
a far bigger concern. How can you feel that the pH is off? Or feel a nutrient
deficiency? Or feel the grey mold attack on a flat of seedlings? Thrips?
Mites wouldn't be too bad, they feel gritty on the leaf undersides when
their
populations increase.
My experience is that rockwool root cubes are very unstable pH wise.
Sometimes they need to be adjusted and sometimes not. Because I don't
offer my clones alot of attention, cloning in rockwool has been a hit and
miss technique.
I like to set my clones, water well enough that the bottom of the tray
is
holding 1/4" water, spray with nodamp, cover with a dome, and then ignore
for two weeks. They never need water as long as the dome remains in
place. Dome also seems to prevent root rot by trapping the oxygen given
off
by the clones and keeping the medium oxygen saturated. Now if your buddy
really wants to hedge his bets, he could remove the dome after the two
weeks, feed, and then let go another week to really get the roots developed.
Sure it takes 3 weeks, but this only means planning ahead. For a small
time hobby setup, what else will he be doing with teh cloning chamber,
haha?
I guess I'm just saying that I could probably set, water, and even transplant
clones blind folded, regardless of media. Sure I would be sloppy at first,
but
with practice? I for the life of me can't figure how your buddy will be
able to
monitor the health of the plants though.

Hi all
Budm- Thanks for your thoughts,you understand my friends problem well
I agree the 4 inch cubes would probably be the best bet for my friends
situation
Vic- The problem is when you see nothing at all life becomes
"snapshots" as my friend says and you see things in your mind as they
were last time you checked,it is easy to forget the little jobs when you
have
to rely on your memory alot more than sighted folks
Also I didn't really make it clear but he really needs a medium than doesn't
require removing delicate seedlings from their pots or wherever they
started life as this is very difficult when you can't see what your doing
he
tells me he frequently breaks tap roots etc..
Looks like Rockwool will be the go as they can be transplanted without
uprooting

Hi all, Munty, I myself have impared vision, my left eye is about 20/300,
and
my right eye is about 20/80, and its only made worse by my diabeties and
the swings in bloodsugar. However with glasses that correct my right eye
to
allmost 20/20 im ok, my left eye even through a real thick lens still is
bad
maybe a/b 20/200. My vission makes pre flower ID real hard untill the 7-8
week,so af helps me out, and looking for hermis is difficult to. So ive
been
giving your friends situation some thought, and IMO 4" RW cubes would be
good, they are easy to work with, and dont require pouring mixtures into
cups or measuring, they are easy to identify by touch when the cutting
has
out grown them, and they are uniform in size.Thinking a/b my own sight
and
if it got worse, and I needed to decide which way to continue with cloning,
with just the faculity of "touch & feel" I think 4" cubes would be
my choice,
especially because the water retention is good, and is easy to determine
when its getting dry. I hope this is of some help to your friend.
