Hi Growmies, She has now completely stiffened and the buds start stretching along the colas. It’s still very hot here at times and temperatures climb towards 30 Celsius, hopefully that will fix itself with autumn around the corner, other than that I ordered a secret jardin temp controlled vent in order to get a bit more control of my tents temp. She already starts smelling very strong like oranges with some citrus subnotes. Will also add another fan next week to get some circulation under the screen. Until next week and thanks for stopping by.

Galway through flower period rn.

It grew a bit in the 3 weeks from last pics. I'm sure indoor growers with 18hr+ light can do better. She could care less about 2 weeks of around 110f weather. I hope one is a female. Stem rub is oily and pungent already. Did a good trim job too.

Still getting denser and fatter each day, will be coming in to the last couple week towards end of this week so will be holding back on the nutes soon and be giving a good flush at end of this week. Not far to go now conditions are good little bit on the hot side but plants seem to still be thriving and the humidity is exactly where I want it so fingers crossed will be a good strong harvest, let’s see how these last few week pan out so far so good

Week 22 of our painful result on the mothers. Reveg. Is full on and the plants are all trying desperately to figure out how to flower again. A couple days ago I was resolved to the fact that this cycle of mothers was not going to be anywhere near our acceptable standards for a high quality bud harvest. We lamented and cried a little…. Then we got ridiculously high to numb the pain…. And then I had a brilliant thought! The whole purpose has been to pollinate clones this whole time. Now that our stable of clones are well into rooting and reveg. We can simply use the mothers for breeding instead and salvage a harvest of high quality buds with the clones! It’s not an ideal situation and will result in less smokable buds but that said (and as per the outdoor photos), quantity won’t be a problem this year as usual😉. I figure a week or two to see what happens with em and we’ll commence the sperm spray😎. We’ve also taken some additional steps and commenced with impregnating the Spliff strawberry on a couple of select branches. This plant is proving a beauty as expected - even despite a little fasciation she’s a monster🤩🤩. Method - we placed some pollen into a brown paper bag (both some SOG in one and some 707 in another. - we marked 2 branches with zip ties to keep track of which pollen is where. - we wrapped the branches in each bag and twisty tied it closed to the stem base for about 12 hours. - after remove the bags and to prevent further pollination on the rest of the plant we sprayed down the pollinated branches and then the entire plant with a light mist of water. When ur outdoors this isn’t perfect science and there will be some additional seed that pops out elsewhere. Regardless, it’s a guarantee the 707 is viable but I’m none too sure about the Skywalker stuff. It may have been subjected to moisture while in storage and could be inert at this point. No telln for a few weeks🤞. The dutchy system, despite significant time to set up has been better than expected - all the plants are happy, added a Skywalker clone to the mix for flowering as well. They seem to be taking to the Druid nutes just fine. Great system and she’s pretty much on cruise control right now👌. All told - the pollen chuck is not yet a complete failure. We’re definitely gonna have some cross beans - they only question that remains is how many different strains. Thanks again for hanging with the longest grow ever👍👊. Background/Repetitive Nonsense These plants will be the two mothers this growing season that will be utilized for stage 2 of the pollen chucking project. We’ll be taking clones and stressing the genetics for some fem. pollen using colloidal silver. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with landrace genetics, we’re effectively skipping initial hybrid crossing and stabilization, going straight to the polyhybrid mix. I call it the shotgun approach to selective, unvetted and amateur breeding on a micro scale😉. These 2 parent strains will form the basis for 8-10 different F1 polyhybrid combinations and a further S1 back cross of each of the mothers. Not only should we be able to preserve the genetics for both mothers in feminized form but we’ll also be running an entire family of new hybrids after seeding out clones from each on the initial lineup of this summers photoperiods. Method is pretty simple here; once we’ve got our pollen off the two mothers we’ll be clipp’n clones on 4 select strains that have proven results from various respected breeders. We’ll be using those for pollination purposes in what is expected to be a 10 plant recirculating Dutch bucket hydro system. ***Update*** The feminization process didn’t take at all with the strawberry or the Skywalker so it’ll be reg. Seed crosses with only Skywalker and some other 707 Headband that we have in the vault. ********* Strain details: Parent strains for self pollination - Skywalker Kush by Reserva Privada Classic kush effects and earthy aroma. The strong kush element of this cultivar will compliment any cross. - Spliffs Strawberry by Spliff Seeds Incredible mix of flavourful terpenes and hard hitting high THC. She’s got some Herer as well as some Diesel in ‘er so an obvious choice for any cross as well. ***UPDATE*** The strawberry had to come out of this breeding run to wait for a better mother that hasn’t been attacked by aphids. It’s been a tough battle this season and we’ve had to make a couple of heartbreaking sacrifices already. Parent Strains for cross pollination ***UPDATE*** We added another 2 strains to the mix just in case we need to spot swap for some more variety. - Ghost Train by AMS Seeds A cross of Alien OG x Ghost Train Haze. Never tried the strain but I’ve heard only good things. This one might be worth mixing with the Strawberry so we’ll see how it goes. ***UPDATE*** Sadly - the ghost train turned out to be an auto so cloning her out as part of the breeding project is a no-go. Really disappointed about this but at least we still have a ready backup strain on the lost coast og to take her place. - Boogie Nights by AMS Seeds A cross of Kalijah, aka afghani/skunk/diesel/blue heaven X Juanita, aka NYC Diesel/Reina Madre). No idea here so naturally I’m interested😉. ************** - Lost Coast OG by Emerald Triangle Pakistani Kush x Lemon Thai x Chemdawg #4. Essentially a classic, west coast combo of landrace kush genetics that Cali is famous for, mixed with hard hitting Chemdawg #4. ***UPDATE*** The Lost Coast is a winner of a plant. Still outdoors and in veg. Looks like it’s recovered from the aphid attack. Might consider trying to take another cut of this and just rooting it in a pot for pollination. At this point, what the hell and if we could salvage anything it would be a positive. ***** - Spliffs Blueberry by Spliff Seeds (Chocolate Thai x Afghani #1 x Highland Oaxaca) x Northern Lighhts Special. Only 1 bean of this left and the whole purpose is to blend the best of Spliffs Berry strains as a tribute. Awesome breeder and they’ve been very kind to us over the years. - Northern Light by Royal Queen Seeds NL means nuff said. A combo of 11 unknown strains believed to originate from the west coast of North America. This cultivar is a great take on these classic genetics and a perfect compliment to just about any cross. A biased fave of ours.👍 - White Widow by Seedsman Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica. This classic strain has been unluckily elusive for us the last couple years. We know the quality of seedsmans version of this cultivar having grown it in the past. Sadly, a very strong performer that never made it to harvest due to an uncontrollable aphid infestation. And we’re only at step 1.... still gonna need an assist with pheno hunting all of the crosses so if anyone’s interested in running the testers (when we finally get to that point) just let me know👍😎. Gonna be a Dope ass summer project and can’t wait to see it in full swing🤟. Thanks for stopp’n in y’all👊

Good week on to the next

Everything going along smoothly. No issues so far. Just tap water for the girls so far

4° sett.di fioritura. Tutto va benissimo.. con fast buds non si sbaglia mai 🤣😂. Forza fast buds,💪✌️👍.. anche la papaia cookie profuma che è una delizia,🤤🤤🤤

Everything was going well in the first week, but unfortunately, a mistake caused stress in the plant. The distance between the lamp and the plant was too short. This week, I gave the plants a small amount of root growth stimulant

Last week of flowering. I would have to use a scrog to spread her further. I decided against that option becuase i like to keep the plant available at all times. Scrogging hinders this. So im keeping her down with some lines. Look at the stem. If it looks like this in veg, you know this lady is going to be huge!

Roots have absolutely exploded. Number #1 is doing very well and is growing like a weed;) #2 seems very stunted, root growth is happening but not as rapid as #1? Idk this is the furthest I’ve gotten before. Dropped humidity down to 65° and raised vpd to 1 instead of .8 now that roots can up take the nutes.

Hello guys! This week was amazing for my girls & Me! :D 4 of them are showing a great sign of flowering! After I defoliated all and tried main Lining for the first time! I didn’t expect such a great results! They are already healing and I should say: I’m falling in love with growing!! It’s like my thing! After hours and hours reading and searching! When i see them happy like this, feels like all of my efforts are paying off. I just wish they weren’t autos! A newbe grower totally can handle an original femmenized seed! I don’t know why everyone said go for autos for tour firat grow!! I’m practicing most of the trainings suitable for autos till i get real stuff!! Soon! I also got that powerful AC, i was hesitating to buy!! it’s pretty amazing! Now I can grow my pineapple Express at thr best temp 25 degrees with 2200w! I just hope i dont get too suprise when i see the Bill😅

Getting frostier every day. Smells like over ripe fruit and bubblegum. Sweet terp profile. Starting to fade a little early but I do not want to add any nitrogen at day 35 in flower. I will let her ride it out. Hoping for some purple colors but we'll see.

Veg: She got a long 5 months 1 weeks of growing and growing so big. Kept the feeds up and she drunk everything she got given to her, kept drinking and drinking them foods. I gave her the growth technology grow for the first 4 months of veg and the last month I gave her both growth technology grow/bloom, hydro Coco grow for the last month of veg stage. Gave her so much HST in month 3-4, just kept topping wherever I could, bending her over wherever I could. Really trying the stress her out to make her stretch and stretch. Started to see some real growth in her in the last month of veg stage, just seeing her doubling in size every week till we got in to some true flowering. Flowering: so we got about 8 1/2 weeks of flowering which was amazing. At the beginning of week one we saw some little flowers and by the end of that week we had some beautiful flowers starting to appear. I start pumping as much bloom feed in as I could I was still giving her the grow feed, but slowly bring them down by the end of week 2. We got some amazing weather other these weeks of flowering were we saw these bud truly start to go bigger and bigger, maybe the weather was a bit to hot for the plant at some points in the early flowering as we got some leafs burn from intends sunlight in the greenhouse. In week 3 we had a weekend of extreme heatwave over the country hitting highs of 34c witch in the greenhouse was getting up to 45-50c too hot!!! The water system failed on this weekend as well, what really hit her hard. I did think we was going to loose her that day when I went to see her. From that day I think we all realized that we have to keep a good check on the watering if the days were going to be so hot. I took all the small stems off the plant and really open up the bottom so we could get some more airflow over these really hot weeks we had, it was amazing to get this weather in the UK. Week 4 we did really start to see them buds coming everywhere, the middle of the plant was stretching. By the end of week 4 I think she did stop stretching and started to fatten up. I cut the growth feed out in the end of week 2 but I think I should of kept it up with the bloom feed till we got in to week 4. We was loosing a lot of leaves all over the plant when we got to the end of the stretch, so I pumped her some growth feed with all the same feeds she was on at the beginning of week 5. We did see a lot of leaf improvement all over the plant, with new growth on all the main clones. This played a big part in getting them buds fatter and fatter. Getting to the end of week 5 I stop the growth feed and just gave her more bloom and pk boost double. We really did see some buds popping up everywhere which was amazing and we had no real popcorn corn buds cause of opening her up. Week 6 she was drinking and drinking up everything we would give her no problem, got to get so much food in to her. She must of drunk over 30l of feed mixture doubled in this week. Started to look a lot bushy all over. When we hit week 7 them buds were fat and starting to lean around everywhere so had to give a bit more support, I tide the main clone to the four main canes and then tide all the side clones to wherever I could. She still drunk 25l of double mixture over this week and the temperature in the nights was getting so low this week it would of been getting to 8-14c, then greenhouse did still get nice and hot during the day up to 18-26c

I grew 3 plants 2 grew well but stalled due to water and lighting at back of a cold tent once this was sorted all grew within there height range which is small and compact with my 6.5 liter pot range 8n biobizz all mix with mycorrhizal added. This is my first ever grow and the genetics wowed me i took a lot of info in about autoflowering plants and the 2 main things that run true are pot size and reduce feed as autoFlowering plants need less due to restricted height although I saw amazing growth in 3rd -6 weeks this if you dial in could increase your yields. The plants had a mild floral berry smell during early stages and kept this smell allways through. Once in bloom they grew vigours and buds oozed resin . There colour are truly amazing I have 2 dark plants that changed colours! And 1 tall lilac plant that too on its amazing colour during late Flowering planted in cold weather these came through sweet looking. Final weight on last plant #2 dry buds in sugar leaf I leave on is 12.6 grams there still 2 lower branches I've tried to seed with her hermI pollen

Day 9: they are all looking super healthy and ready to explode! I’ll just veg these fast. Let them grow a node or two more then top them all and wait some days then switch to 12/12. I’m having 9 plants in the same tent.

My leaf is yellow it will be allright

Let’s Go day 29!! This week went real nice ! Girls are staying very healthy and building up nicely and even started showing signs of female sex which is super great ! We started doing a little bit of leaf tuck training method on em , nothing to big as like I said I want these girls just to do there thang an grow more on naturally side! My Air temp and Humidity have been on point all week, staying from 70-75 degrees throughout the day and humidity staying around 58-61% humidity , my girls are loving that summer an 75 feeling !! Can’t wait to see what we do this week ! Hopefully you all enjoy, and are ready for another great productive week ! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻Happy Grows✌️🏻Week 4 let’s get it !
