Lemnesia North by Chucky Seeds

Hello. This is the first week of LemAm Lights. I wrote the plant description last week, if you want to see. Everything is going good this week. Not much to report. One of the seedlings is a inch taller than the rest. Must be a male. Se ya next week. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of veg. I'm happy to have my own strain going at last. And I'm glad to be improving it with some new blood. The Kosher Haze males will be looked at for pollination with these female plants. And the males of this strain will be looked at for pollination with the Kosher Haze females. And if I find a good male I'll cross it with everything I'm growing. The plants look great and are growing well. The 3 to 5 females will be going in the same tent as the 1 Umme plant that I have got started in another diary. I'm harvesting the Nova OG this week and these seedlings will go into that tent. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of veg. These plant looked unhappy when I looked in yesterday. They all got a big meal and they look happier today. I've been busy and they just got water for the last 5 or 6 watering's. Life's like that. You sit around for awhile then you don't seem to have enough time in the day to get it done. So some things get over looked. After harvesting the Nova OG I was rushing to get the soil mixed and get these females repotted and into the tent. I stopped dead and said to myself It's been so long that I've been working with fem seeds that I forgot I needed to sex my regular seedlings. So I moved all the seedlings in 1 tent so I can keep a better eye on them. It's about week 8 that cannabis plants show their sex. So we still have a few week to go. If a plant won't show it sex it's probably a male trying to hide so you won't pull it up. These plants are smarter than you think they are. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of veg. The plant are looking happier this week. I gave a lot of food this week after not giving anything but water for awhile. They are looking greener and have put another set of leaves out. I still have to wait a couple of weeks to sex these plant. I'm hoping for 4 females out of 8 plants but you just never know. I started 10 - NL#5 reg seeds once upon a time and got 9 males.😞 Spring is coming and I'm getting friends calling to see if I have any clones they can have. 😋 I have some good stuff. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of veg. WooHoo! I had a female show herself. I thought I would see if anyone is early in showing their sex to me and I also found a male flower of another strain that was just about to pop. They were 2 little tear drops with 2 white hairs sticking out of each flower top. I know it's only nature, but I feel good that a strain I crossed is going to have a flowering female. Kind of a teary moment.😌 Have fun. See ya later. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of veg. What a different a week makes. I was hoping to put the Kosher Haze in this greenhouse but I'm getting a lot of males from those seeds. When the count of males goes up to 9 out of 11 seeds I had to think of something else to do, so I'm putting this strain out in the greenhouse. I have 4 females to play with out here. And with the males I hope to collect the pollen and make some seeds out here. Just a couple of branches from each plant with a sort of breathable sox to hold the pollen on the branch and not just floating free in the room. Got some clones for friends too you can see on the floor. And got some veg seeds going too. Busy boy. A bit about me now. I had a P.E.T. scan last month and saw my doctor last week for the results. Last year in April I had a swollen tonsil removed and it was sent away for testing. It was tested cancerous from a STD virus I picked somewhere 😞 and they wanted to give me more surgery and radiation and chemo. I said no and wanted to try Rick Simpson Oil for cancer. I passed the next 3 tests I had last year. But this time I have some inflammation where my other tonsil is and my vocal cords showed up hot on the last PET scan. The doctor put a camera through my nose and looked all the way down to my vocal cords and said everything looked normal. Then asked about lumps on my neck and said if I find any hurry in and he will see me. I found a friend of a friend of a friend and they were making the oil and had some old stock that they gave as a gift. They use to make it and sell it on the internet before it was legal in Canada. The company got busted and got off really light because they were helping people and getting real results without making a profit. They gave me old stock which is why I think I got a bad result. So I'm going to make my own oil again and I have another PET scan in 6 months. If the results are better I know I'm doing the right thing. If they are not better I guess I'll be getting radiation and chemo and the cannabis will help with that. Sorry for the bad news for those who didn't know. But I feel fine and I'll continue to grow until I can't. Best Wishes. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. Just looking back a few weeks and I'm a bit surprised that these little plants showed their sex so fast. When I was growing alot with regular seeds (that was all we had) I would always start them 2 weeks before I took clones because it took sometimes 8 or 9 weeks to show their sex. Things are going good in here. It's a cold spring though. I think I'll re top today. As you can see they jumped up after repotting and are now too tall to get the SCRoG going well. I want to go into flowering on June 1st. I set my alarm and have the tent open just after 8 a.m. and it's closed up again by 8:30 p.m. When the plant are bigger I'll set up the hydroponics to get the plant some food each day. The pump turns on for 15 minutes each day to give some food. The rest of the time I hand water when they are getting dry. I vacuumed this past week. Then I cut the grass. Then it rained. Now I'm looking at the grass I tracked in and wondered why I vacuumed last week?😏 Oh Well! Thanks for looking in. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. I had to top again because the plants grew. I wanted to get the plants down under the top rungs to spread out. Plants 1 and 2 are a little faster growing and will fill their side before plants 3 and 4. That's Umme in the middle with the pinkish pot. There's a place if I need to pee by the wood shed that has a current bush and there is some powdery mildew on some of the leaves already. And that is about 10 feet from the greenhouse. I know the Amnesia Lemon female was very mold resistant when I crossed her with the NL#5. It has been a cold and wet spring here so far. I have been pushing the longer branches down under the table rungs to spread them out. I'll prune and trim them in a few weeks. Just letting them grow for now. I still want to switch to flower on June 1 about 3 weeks away. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of veg. This week went smooth enough. Earlier this week I saw a adult male from the rental house behind me trying to look through the fence to see how I was doing on my grow. They don't say Hi they just want to see, so I took a security camera from somewhere else on the property and put it up viewing this area and I haven't seen him since. I hope he or they get the message. I have been concerned that I would get ripped off from them or their buddy's because they usually have a couple of big party's each summer and anyone who was there and was talking about it could come back and break in and help themselves. So far I haven't been ripped off: knock on wood. The plants are stretching out nice. I gave a big watering earlier this week and I'm getting some big fan leaves out now, the roots must have found the compost I mixed in the soil. I would like to flower in a couple of weeks around June 1st so I'm going to try to stretch these girls out as much as possible before then. Just got the garden finished this week. I've planted, chard, lettuce, carrots, beets, beans, tomato's, cilantro, peas, potato's, basil, early squash, zucchini and pumpkins. I think the racoon ate my little broccoli plants when it was scrounging around for worms. 😒 Oh well. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Stuff is growing good in the greenhouse this week. I was in there yesterday putting the longer branches under the rack or tying them down. I'll go back in there today and finish clipping under the racks of leaves that don't get enough light, prime powder mildew places and small sucker branches that take energy away from the growing tips. I added some of the cactus pictures I have growing in the smaller greenhouse. It's 6 foot by 10 feet. They all get good food even though some of their pots are starting to fall apart. I watered the cactuses yesterday and a paper wasp lands on my cheek, they normally leave me alone and just fly around me. But a large queen wasp has been coming to get pull their young from the paper nest so the paper wasps are on edge anyway. I sort of panicked and swatted it away and knocked off my hat too.😧 I bent down to get my hat and the little bugger stung my little finger of my left hand. I guess it's poison didn't go in very far because my finger is barely swollen today. Stupid wasps. I let them stay because they help so much in the garden. I often see them fully loaded with some greenish pulp they have in their front legs that they can hardly land on their nest which is often upside down. This is the last week of veg. It's been a cold spring this year and the plants haven't grown as much as on a hot spring year. Oh Well. Keep Grown Straight. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of 10 weeks of veg and the 1st week of flowering. Just turned the plants over to flowering last night. I can't turn off the sun so I'll close up the tent each night before 8:30 p.m. It's been a cold spring here, so it will probably be stinking hot through the summer. I ordered some Spinosad on line this week. For those who live in Canada try: you-buy.ca Captain Jack's Deadbug with Spinosad. Good for 18 months after it's made. I saw some red and black ants out front in the garden this year, and now I see some in the house. I need to get rid of them and I hope this isn't going to be a big battle coming up. My wife got some ant traps yesterday with peanut butter and poison and I put it out by the nest. Kill the queen kill the colony but I hope they haven't brought a young queen inside to make a new nest. More next week. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of flowering. Man have these plant shot up. It's at this point that I could put in a net but I haven't figured out how to tie it in and still open the tent form the inside too. I'll just tie up the branches to the top roof poles when the branches start to fall over like last year. I already have the clips and twine I used last year. I gave the plants their first mixed flowering plant food last week, which is why they shot up so much. I'll let the plants just grow this week and then do my final trimming/pruning next week. Although these plant will be finished around 9 weeks of flowering I like to grow them 10 weeks. When I first started growing inside I wanted stuff that finished fast. 45 to 55 days is what I grew back then. But then I thought about growing 9 weeks and a whole group of plant that I wasn't growing opened up to me. Now I like to grow all the plants to 10 weeks. And now that I have more space I'm think about growing sativa's up to 14 weeks and collecting some pollen for crosses. I like Ace Seeds for sativa's. On to book 4 of the Fat Freddie's Cat series. One of my favorite artist of that era. Thanks for lookin in. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. It's a late spring here. Some torrential rains and strong winds this week with lots of clouds. I get the greenhouse all open for the sun shine and 1/2 hour later I'm shutting the door closing the windows and turning down the fans. 2 hours later I back out there opening up and turning the fans up again. I hope it stables down for July and August, but they will probably be stinking hot.😏 I think I've picked out the best male for seeds. It's sticky with the rub test and the smell lasts on the fingers for about 10 minutes or so. It's bushy rather than tall and stretchy. I need to make up some pollen socks that won't hold the pollen so I can shake it to get the pollen on the stigma's but will let some air transfer so the branch lives and starts to make seeds. I have a extra Pink Kush and a Nova OG clones that I'll start to flower and put them in a different greenhouse for starting and making seeds and pollen capture with the socks. I tested the Pink Kush for Powdery Mildew last year but I don't know about the Nova OG. I'll do some final pruning and trimming this week. And tie up some more branches. Keep grown straight. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. I meant to get in here last week and do some more trimming and tying up of the branches but I attended a cannabis conference last week and lost some time. Things are going good in here. Lots of resin forming now. I don't see any bug damage. And they are growing big. The VooDoo Plant Flower Has bloomed and has withered now. It's a 3 day flower and by the end of the 3rd day the flower was hanging down. But it did get pollenated I thing, because I recognized the Carrion Beatle and it looked sticky like it was covered in nectar. Man this plant is smelly. I've smelled dead and rotting animals before and it smelled similar. Thanks for looking in. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week5 of flowering. Things are going good here in the greenhouse. Giving a little heavier P and K from now to flush. 3 of the 4 plants have a sweet citrus/hash smell to them. Delicious. I've made up some paper bags to catch some of the Kosher Haze pollen from the preflowers.to put on a couple of the Lemnesia branches for seeds. I've read that the bags they use at the grocery store for the french bread that has that cellophane strip so you can see in, works very well. I also chose some clones that I'll put in the smaller greenhouse for seed making. I chose a Pink Kush and a Nova OG to receive some male Kosher Haze pollen. I'll make some room in the smaller greenhouse where I've got the cactus now. I'll try to have the male higher than the females so the pollen drops and I don't have to have the fan up too high because I don't want any pollen to escape to pollenate other people's plants. But a little will escape out the roof vents with a big wind gust.😏 Speaking of the little greenhouse, I was putting up shade cloth and the paper wasps, that I allow to live in there because they are so helpful in the garden, were very courious about it and landing on it and then circling around. I was on the 3rd rung of the step ladder and 1 landed on my left temple and I swatted at the area while stepping back off the ladder. The aluminum door frame was just under my arm and it raked it as I stepped back and away. I looked at my arm and was very surprised to see a big piece of skin not there and blood coming out. About 1 1/2 inches long and about 1/2inch wide. I felt the top of the door and it was sharp enough to do that. I went and put a big bandage on and finished up with the shade cloth and then went to the hospital and got 6 stiches. I was in and out in 2 1/2 hours which I think was really good for 10 pm on a Saturday night. Ouch!!! We are still on book 4 of the Fat Freddie's Cat series of books and I'll go on to show the FFFB books after that. (Fabulously Furry Freak Brothers.) Harvest in the middle of Aug. just so you know. Have Fun. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. The Kosher Haze male preflowers are popping now even though I have them under 18 hours of light. I was picking them off for the first few weeks but the Lemnesia females are at the right stage to put on the pollen. I've put pollen on 3 different branches so far. I get the pollen in some French Bread sized paper bags that I've made, you know long and thin, well big enough to slide a flowering branch into. Then I put a clothes pin on the bottom of the bag to close it up before I shake it. Careful not to hurt the branch when you close it up. After 12 to 18 hours I take off the bag. Most of the pollen is spent/dead after 18 hours anyway. I showed some of the pollenated branches with the brown stigma tips in the pictures. The plant are doing great. I'm getting some sweet, citrus, hashy smells out of these buds, wonderful. A Pink Kush and a Nova OG will go into the cactus greenhouse with the Lemnesia male to make some seeds. I'm just turning the females over to flowering now by putting them in the flowering tent. In a few weeks I'll put the 3 of them in the greenhouse together. I'll be finished with the Kosher Males by then and they will be cut down then. Last week it took 4 try's to download a video last week so I didn't include one this week. OK. That's where I'm at. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. Things are growing great in here. Not too many yellowing leaves for 6 weeks of flowering so far. I got some pollenating done with 2 different Kosher Haze males. The males were a little taller than I was hoping for but both had a great smell and were very resinous to the touch. All the Kosher Haze males have been cut down and have been put in the compost. You can see the difference in the pollenated buds by the brown stigmas. In the wide angle shots you can see the white tags marking the lines holding the pollenated buds up. At harvest time I can let these marked branches grow a little longer if the seeds aren't mature yet. We shall see then. I still have 1 Lemnesia male left that I like and It will be put in the smaller greenhouse with a Pink Kush and a Nova OG to make seeds in a week or 2. The Pink Kush and the Nova OG are in their 3 week of flowering in the greenhouse now. Ok can't think of anything else. Have Fun. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Things are going good in here this week. I'm starting to see some yellowing of some of the older leaves as the plants are pulling back nutrients to keep the buds going. It's the last week of food for the girls. I'll be starting flushing next week. I've got a few branches of seeds going so I won't flush too hard the first week. It smells wonderful in here. Smells like sweet hard chalky lemon/citrus candy with some skunky undertones. Delicious. I volunteer at the local observatory and when I drove up the hill this week I thought what are those trees with the silvery leaves. So no one was behind me so I slowed to see what trees they were. All the maple trees had bad white powdery mildew on their leaves. It's been a long cold wet spring this year but it's supposed to get hot this weekend, enough to stop the WPM? or all the maples will lose their leaves early. I don't see any on my zucchini plant yet. It's usually the first to get it. OK. Have fun. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. I'm a flusher. I gave their last food yesterday and will use nothing but water till the end. I've marked the branches that I've pollenated and will give food again after harvest if the seeds aren't finished. Easy as that. I found some bud rot on plant #3 and had to cut it out quick. Too bad it was one that I had pollenated. It was only the top bud so I hope the other buds on that branch will still be good for seeds. Everything else is going well in here. I didn't know what I would get when I made the cross 2 years ago but I'm very pleased with the way the plant have preformed so far. There's some big, heavy, dense buds in here. Can't wait to smoke them. It's 30*c here today and will be for the next 4 days. It's 35*c in the greenhouse right now, I just stuck my head in while I'm waiting for the video to upload. That will kill any fungus spores that bother my plants. Good Luck. Chuck.

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of flowering. Things are going well in here. I've got powdery mildew in the garden on the squash plant leaves but not in here yet. I was hoping when I crossed these strains that they would be pm resistant. When I made these seeds 2 years ago the Amnesia Lemon didn't have any pm even when other plants had it in the same room. And the Northern Lights has been pest resistant in the past. Thought these strain would go good together. Has a very nice sweet, citrus, hard candy, smell to them. I've cut down the male Lemnesia that I was crossing with the Pink Kush and Nova OG and put it in the compost. I hoping these seeds will be pm resistant too. The pm is in this part of the world and I have to deal with it so why not make seeds that are pm resistant. Makes sense to me. OK, Have Fun. Chuck.

Hello. This is the last of Lemnesia North by Chucky Seeds (sort of a dream of mine but I have a cautious wife). This is the last look at the growing buds before harvest. I was able to get in 4 good flushes in before harvest. I'm happy to get this crop in. There is powder mildew on my zucchini plants just outside the door of the greenhouse but none in here.😁 In the pictures, the string with the white tags are the pollenated branches. I have lots to do today. Have fun. Chuck.

Hello. This is the test harvest for Lemnesia Northern. I'm happy with my first cross. It's not really strong but it strong enough for the first cross. Something I can build on to make better and stronger with future crosses. These plants were mold and pest resistant. I had mold and pest in the garden 20 feet away but none in here.😃 Plant #1 Wet Weight - 2062 g Dry Weight - 339 g Seeded buds - 26 g crossed with male Kosher Haze #3 Seeds - 10.5 g Plant #2 Wet Weight - 2364 g Dry Weight - 342 g Seeded buds - 14 g Seeds - 5 g Plant #3 Wet Weight - 2153 g Dry Weight - 305 g Seeded buds - 23.5 g Seeds - 5 g Plant #4 Wet Weight - 2531 g Dry Weight - 374 g Seeded buds - 24 g Seeds - 2 g I'm guessing the THC at about 16% to 20%, it can get me pretty stoned. The taste and smell is lemon/citrus with some hashy notes. Plant #3 has a sort of tuna smell to it. Umme, the plant that grew in the middle, also did well, and had her own diary. Next year I have Buford OG, 12 regular seeds by Rare Dankness to make more seeds with. I'm thinking of crossing this with my Dos Si Dos #33 and Sweet Zenzation and of course with the new Lemnesia Kosher. Oh Boy- Building a seed bank. 😁 Yes I'm happy everything went well and I got the harvest in and I got seeds to play with. OK time to catch up with my smoking. Thanks. Chuck.
