Blowmonkeys backyard bushes '06

^Apples and oranges, my friend. You can't discuss sources here.

Also, Blowmonkey lives in the Netherlands, so those plants aren't illegal. Not that you can't post pictures of illegal drugs (check the gallery), but it isn't a good idea to admit to having them.

 

[Blowmonkey]

LOL. I closed your thread because it's just not allowed to ask the people here how or where to get weed. You'd just have to find out for yourself, it depends pretty much on who you get to know there anyways, as with most places. I moved that other thread you created over to your regional forum, NADD.

Btw, my plants are illegal! :D

We're "allowed" to have 5 plants in the garden for personal use, but this varies depending on local customs. Police can just take away everything you have if they see fit, for example when neighbours complain or if they get an anonymous tip. Especially the number of plants I'm currently growing is pretty illegal, I can expect a relatively small fine if I get caught (couple hundred euro's) and say goodbye to my plants and my indoor set-up.

If people want to post some pictures of their plants on this site, that's completely fine. Noone's going to bother with us small time growers, would cost more money than it's worth.. People shouldn't be afraid to admitting they're growing a couple of plants. But alas, as we all know, potheads are paranoid as shit.

i understand completely, i just didnt see the harm when a few posts down was someone asking for advice on how to smuggle shit into the us from the canadian border lol, im sorry though and in the future i won't post anything like that. peace and love

 

[TheMadcapLaughs]

[Hatious]

Awesome work Blowmonkey... glad that I ran across this thread. I am quite excited to see the finished product.

 

[bm1]

wow superman is no longer my hero

 

[hedgewitch]

screw bushed, those be trees

blowmonkey, how many plants is that now?

you are a horticultural god.

 

[Blowmonkey]

LOL. Uhm, good question, I don't know exactly. I'd have to count them.

I've got 11 plants in my garden and 6 in the growbox, make that 5 btw, I've put the PP clone outside as well, it was stretching like hell and almost touched the lamp.

Yesterday was horrible again, lot's of fucking rain together with high winds. One branch of the big girl couldn't cope anymore and snapped, tried to fix it but wasn't helping.. The 2 topped plants were both blown to one side. Hammered 2 more broom sticks in the ground and tied the plants to them.

Almost all of the plants are flowering now, except for the plant that was topped twice and the plant in the big container, those are starting though, in probably a week they'll form little clusters of hairs. Here's a couple of pics taken from above, I was standing on the shed here, could take some good pics of the big girl that way. You can see how far along she is, a small week of budding or something.

And an update from the plants inside, those are coming along nicely. They've only been flowering for over a little more than 2 weeks, but the bud development is yet again extremely fast on these OB's. This pheno produces enormous fat buds, last year the OB kept falling over to one side because of the weight of the buds, will probably happen again this year. As I already said, the PP has been taken outside, she was just becoming too tall.

those plants (buds moreso) are divine

Hope the weather is fair from now on, it'd be a shame to see mold take the buds before you get to harvest. It's happened to me before, extremely frustrating.

Lekker

How's the smell? I love that part about growing weed..
Knowing that the THC is finally being produced, lovely.

2 weeks later and things are progressing nicely, outside and inside. The plan was to meet up with a friend today, he has a better camera, but he didn't show up.. So I had to resort to making some pics with my own camera. Unfortunately we've got such a crapload of wind around here that it's virtually impossible to get a clear pic with this camera, everything keeps moving around. Couldn't make pics of the developing buds anyways because I can't zoom in without things going hazy, I only managed to make 3 good pics outside. 2 of the big PP and 1 of the small PP clone I previously had standing inside.

Here's that PP clone, is making nice purple buds now, she's been flowering for over 4 and a half weeks.

And the big PP. Only been flowering for over 3 weeks, but the buds are already quite large. It'll be fun seeing her bud over the coming few weeks. Probably won't turn purple, but I couldn't really give a shit, frankly I care more about the insane amount of bud it's producing, buds are fucking everywhere on this plant.

And here's the plants from inside. They're in the fitfth week of flowering now or something, some are yellowing already, but that was to be expected with the light mix & regular potting soil. Buds are really thick and dense, nice and white and a pungent sweet citrus smell. Plants are tipping over already, so I had to tie them up. They've got another 2-3 weeks, the larger ones will be ready a bit sooner, the smaller ones definitely need at least 3 more weeks.

I pollinated the plant on the front right btw, with the pollen of the other OB pheno, #1. Hopefully the offspring will have a bit of both worlds, preferably with a little more of the OB #1, she was extremely mould resistent and had a better flavour & high.

Today the man with the camera showed up, took some pics, more to come, but those are being downloaded from another pc as we speak and it's taking quite long.

PP clone in the toilet:

Side view from the PP that was topped once, you can clearly see she's been growing towards the sunniest spot under the tree:

And here's the biggest PP.

 

[Blowmonkey]

And some better pics from the plants inside.

 

[Hatious]

Very nice! I am glad to see the progress.

 

[Blowmonkey]

Me too, everything is finally starting to flower nicely. Here's another pic I found of an OB from inside, higher resolution, far better view on the bud development.

 

[Sprinklervibes]

Whoa, looks like you'll have quite the stash :D

Funny how in one country growing weed is considered normal and in other, also Western countries, it could land a person in jail.. Not fair

 

[Blowmonkey]

Here's some additional pictures from the plants outside.

First up the PP that was topped twice, the only plant that's coloured purple all the way, except for the pistils ofcourse. I think I've mentioned this before, but now I've got a pic of it, one of the top shoots is pretty weird, instead of forming one bud & leaf per internode, she's growing multiple, sometimes 2, up to even 4. It looks pretty fucked, not exactly clear on the picture, but you get the idea a bit.

And another picture of the big PP.

Also 3 pics of the trunks of the biggest plants in the garden. First up is from the plant in the container, the second one is from the plant that's a bit fucked up, the third one is from the biggest plant.

 

[Idi0tequ3]

wow, very very nice looking plants. wish i could grow successfully.

 

[Blowmonkey]

I made a couple of night shots with my own camera of the buds. Bud development is really going at a fast rate now, we've got some great weather for a full week or something, ~25 degrees and lot's of sun, only the nights are a bit cold, but they've really caught a bit of a growthspurt. Even the big girl that I thought was completely doomed is making nice buds now, really didn't see that one coming, but it's a real nice surprise.

Gotta realize that this isn't the best camera and that the pics aren't really focused, but it still looks kinda nice.

First up is from the plant in the container. Has got nice, slender leaves compared to the other plants, developing white/green buds, has been flowering for over 2 and a half weeks now.

Next one is from the other big girl, the fucked up one. Has been flowering for over a small 4 weeks now, chock full of buds, still slightly airy, but she never has recoverd all that great from being in flower early on and her other problems on top of that as well. Still, the buds are already covered in sugar and are coloured light purple.

This is the topped PP. Been flowering for over 2 and a half weeks now, nice bud development, they seem to colour a bit grayish, light purple.

This is the PP that has been topped twice. Been flowering for over 2 and a half weeks as well. This plant reminds me the most of the purple the seeds came out of, extremely dark purple coloured buds, this one will probably form the nicest looking buds. From my point of view at least, I like my purples really dark purple, it's a bonus that the internodes are stacked so close between each other as well.
