Spicy Bitch! ExoticSeed Testers

First week of VEG!!! 😀 Spicy B is taking off! She's about 2 inches tall and her leaves are starting to get size. 💪 She has little bit of leaf curl... I don't think I over watered, it could be from going back and forth from room to room, trying to get her ready for the new sun! Clone/Veg Room: (1) 75w LED for seed/clone starting (1) 1800w (400w) Holland Star 6x Cob for Vegging Veg/Flower Room (1) Bloom Plus BP4000 (800w) LED for Vegging unless flowering is going on S. Bitch has been drinking nicely... only giving small amounts so far... not soaking the soil... so there is no runoff from the solo cup. I use just tap (well) water which is pH 7 (neutral). The organic 'living' soil corrects the pH so the roots gets what they need all the time. Humidity is in the 40's but I would like it higher... still trying to tune in the environment!😎 So happy the new light came for the Veg/Flower room. Guess we'll call it a week! 😄 Happy Growing! 👉😁👈

What a Bitch!😂 Great week Spicy B. had. Sprouting like crazy, really showing the sativa leaf structure!😍 She's taller then her cousins, standing in at 4 inches!!! Her roots are looking white and healthy... with a little bit of cup circling. Once I transplanted Spicy B. I gave her about 250ml of water, that should help the root ball to mix in. The 3 gallon fabric pots have about 1/3 Krptonite soil and 2/3 Promix (organic vegetable and herb mix). I find this works quite well since I just add water. Water is still pH 7... letting the soil balance the pH. In the last set of pics, I did water her from the bottom up... draws the roots down faster... that's where all the good nutrients are! 😁 She's showing the 3rd node and working on the forth... I'll top when I see the 5th... I plan doing the eight arm mainline... I think it's starting to become a specialty! 😂 Until next week... Happy Vaping! 👉😜👈

Ba-BAM! The bitch is on the loose! She recovered so nice last week from the transplant, that she decided to take right off... so I decided to take her top off... 👉😵👈... and strip her right up to her 3rd node! 😂 Being a sativa, I know she's going to try and stretch after each topping/recovery... gonna try and be proactive and keep her at bay so she doesn't try and outgrow her room. I started using sharp blades more then using the snip snips... I find it does a better job on the cut and not so much a pinch/crush. Don't forget to have a nice clean blade too!!😀 I have the room atmosphere dialed in at around 24C... with a humidity hovering around the 68%-70%... Also have the lights running 24/7... gonna do that for a few weeks... Besides the girls in there, the other plant life like the wetness and the brightness!😁 Watering is around 1L every 2 days... she is drinking a lot even though the high humidity. Water is still going in at pH 7 and letting the soil regulate it. I have a feeling the next update, there is going to be more tops coming off... that's right... weed porn!!!😂 Happy Vaping! 👉😁👈

Fantastic week! 😁 Spicy Bitch is growing like a bad weed...😳 After the topping last week, her recovery was really quick... not only did she recovery fast, her four tops took off! Spicy is taking all the training really really great! I even cracked one of her main arms in all the bondage... she didn't care... 😝 Looks like I'll be topping again in a day or two... the Sativa characteristics are really shining through. She's trying to stretch fast and without all the training, I would probably be getting ready to switch... I bet she would be near 24 inches if I hadn't popped her top!😲 Her fan leaves are huge but they don't have the real skinny fingers like other Sativas... I have seen that before... still not sure why??? 👍 She drinks 1 Litre every 2 days... I do expect that to change very soon. I mix up the watering by watering from the top one day and the next time from the bottom... I find bottom watering really good for drawing roots down and top watering helps bring more nutrients down. Let's see what next week brings! Happy Growing! 👉😁👈 Grow Environment: -Area: 3x5 room -Light :1800w Cob light = (400w HID) -Temp: 24C on average -Humidity: 68% -3 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -1L / 2days pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants (Dill & Basil)

The week of Growth!😎 When last week was over, I knew probably the next day or two, that I would be topping to get my final eight arms... and BAM!!... next day the tops came off! 😲 Haven't really grew a true Sativa since my very first grow. Kinda forgot actually how fast some recover and stretch out fast... truthfully, I thought I would be around the eight week mark from seed before switch to flower... seems Spicy Bitch just wants to go! Down to it... Topped first of the week to get the new shoots growing fast... topped a little high up so the stem has some protection against the weight (I hope). 😁 Transplanted on day 35 from 3 gallon pots to 10 gallon... all pots are cloth. Training and retraining of arms so each one has room to grow fat...👍 Moved to flower room (getting ready) Bitch drank 2L mid-week and finished off the transplant with 1.5L... Sequence of topping... First topping at 3rd node (result = 2 arms) Second topping was at the 1st node of the two new arms (result = 4 arms) Third and final topping was at first node of the four new arms ( result = 8 arms) 😃 Final thought... What I have learned when growing in organic super soil... to feed the girls for at least 8 weeks and probably more into flower... always pot up to a much larger pot on week of switch... then just add water to the finish line! 😵 Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 24C on average -Humidity: 42% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants (Aloe Vera & Spearmint) Happy Growing! 👉😁👈

Week of recovery! 👊 After last week of getting transplanted and topped... the bitch wanted a few days to bounce back and get ready for flowering... and that's what she got!😀 Spicy bitch is starting to get a really nice and solid stock... but she is certainly stretching like a proper sativa would. Her fan leaves aren't as sharp as I thought they would be... maybe flowering will change that. 😳 Did a little clean up on the first set of nodes (gonna clone)... but left the big fan leaves... I tried this technique on my last grow and wanted to test it again on a different strain... it's all about the testing. 😁 Also added a tomato ring for the buds when they are nice and heavy. She drank 4L of water the day after transplant, followed up by another 2L before the weekend...💪 I think she's gonna start drinking alot more... I mean on the table, two drinks in hand, more... she spicy like that!😂 On that note, next week will be first week of pre-flower!!! Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 25.2C on average -Humidity: 58% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants (Aloe Vera, Lettuce & Bell Peppers) Happy Growing! 👉😜👈

BAM!!!😁 Just like that.... 1st week of Flower! Started the week off in complete 24hr darkness... I found this is a good kick-in-the-ass to promote flowering... in the past, I have done 36hr's but my humidity is a little higher than I want, so 24hrs is enough.👊 Spicy B. is really stretching alot... I had to pull some of the arms down to try and keep the canopy level across the top. Her stalk fatten up as well as her arms.💪 Her satellite arms are unbelievably long... they will be removed early next week... don't want them stealing energy from the main arms.😲 Gave 3L of water mid-week, and also at the end of the week. Gonna bump her up to 4L for each watering... damn bitch!😂 Overall, great first week of flower... lots of stretching, big beautiful fan leaves... might have an issue with height if she keeps flourishing like this... like that would be a problem.😁 Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 26.2C on average -Humidity: 54% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants (Aloe Vera, lettuce & Bell Peppers) Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Alright, let's get at it...😎 Started the week off giving Spicy Bitch a little trim. Usually, I wait until the 3rd week before doing a defoli, but she's growing so fast... and I wanted some clones!😁 Her leaves are looking amazing!😍 By mid-week, you can see how long her satellite arms are... I always struggle on keeping them or removing on the 3rd week...😐 Done both ways before and not really sure which way works best... removing them directs more energy towards the bud, which means fatter buds... leaving them does steal energy from the main cola... but how much really???👈 End of the week you can see some really nice white hats forming and stacking... removed a couple of leafs that were blocking them from the light. She's stretching really tall, gained about 6 inches this week... and her stalk... yeah... I know!😂😅 She had 3.5L of water mid-week and another 3.5L at the end of the week. When I water, 1L goes bottom tray and the rest from the top... really love these cloth pots.😍 Increased the outtake fan to max speed due to the temps being a little high, added a 2nd fan, and through in a cam for fun! These are the weeks us happy growers thrive for... least I do!!!😜 BAM!!! Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 25C on average -Humidity: 58% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... none, just peppers Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Defoliation week! 😀 I find this to be one of the toughest weeks while growing. To remove or not to remove... that is the question...😵 When your big fan leaves are looking fantastic, doesn't make much since to remove them... For my grows, I like when the bud sites are visible, that means they are getting full light!😎 To my understanding, is that the root system is connected to every part of the plant... and when a leaf, node or top is removed (at the right time), it has all that root energy to disperse to rest of the plant... results should be big and fat buds!💪 Also, it helps with keeping a good air circulation so white powdery mildew(wpm) doesn't form in case of higher humidity. Spicy Bitch is really impressive! She drank about 9L of water this week... most in a single week so far. The satellite nodes that I usually remove, are quite big for only 3 weeks into flower, so I decided to keep them.👊 They should produce nice size nuggets. For being a sativa, her nodes are stacking really nice on the main colas... usually tall sativas have a lot of space in between the nodes. I thought I seen some purple on the white hats but I now realize I was a little high... 😂 Overall it has been an fantastic week... drinking lots, less clothes (dirty bitch), and a watchful eye on the humidity.😲 Great job @exotic_seed for these genetics... so far, you have me wowed!!!😍 C'yas! Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 25C on average -Humidity: 58% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... Sweet basil, spearmint, dill, Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Week # Four! The week of bounce back... Spicy bitch likes to be defoliated!😂 She started growing back her leaves a few days later and by the end of the week... BAM!!! Lots of bush!😍 I did remove a leaf here and there throughout the week... the ones that were covering the bud sites. In the pics, there are a few satellites arms that I'm still not sure if I will remove or not... they could end up being tight little nugs.👊 I'll decide soon since they're taking energy to grow. SB didn't drink as much this week, but I expected that since there is some shock... She had about 6L of water, which 3L had blackstrap molasses in it for the 2nd feeding... I like to give the soil a boost of sugar... apparently, the microbes like it.😁 The reason for using blackstrap and not regular table molasses... blackstrap has a higher nutrient count, I believe. It also helps the plant grow bigger buds by enriching the soil and improving the grow environment. The soil breaks the sugar down to carbs which feed beneficial microbes in the soil. The microbes then produce CO2, that is used by your plants to grow larger. 💪 I'm really impressed with the size of her stalk... quite thick compared to her cousins sex buds... and we're only 4 weeks in! The breeder package says 9-10 weeks, so if this is what it's like after 4.... Yeah Baby!!!😍 Her white hats are really forming nicely. At first I thought her stacking stretch might have been to far apart, but now I think they are going to be nice solid colas... at least six will... 2 seems to be undersized.😲 Spicy also started producing trichomes... in return, her dankness kicked it up a knotch... can't really identify it yet, but it's strong! 😀 Hope the carbon filter doesn't fail. 😅 Guess that's it... blackstrap molasses and dank smell! Great week! 👍 Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 26C on average -Humidity: 58% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... spearmint -Blackstrap molasses... 2 Tbsp (30ml) / Gallon (3.8L) of water Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Week #5 Is it half-way week? I hope so because I'm getting quite excited to try this girl...😜 Her bud structure, her smell... I just wanna reach in and smoke her!!! This week, spicy did increase her water intake, 3L for her first watering, then on her second, 4L of water. She certainly has a bunch of new growth and her buds are getting fatter... the increase in water is welcome. 😁 Next week I'll add the Blackstrap molasses again. She's producing nice trichomes, not as abundant as her cousins sex bud, but they're coming along nicely... and quite sticky too!😝 Spicy Bitch has eight arms, which six are really nice and two I can't complain about.😀 I did keep her satellite arms for now... have to make the final decision by next week since I won't be removing any more plant material until harvest day! BAM!!! 😎 There has been an increase in temps this week... and humidity too. So far no problems... there is no heat stress, but I might dim the light if it does get to hot. There are two oscillating fans in there, but if I have to add a 3rd, I will.... try me... 😂 I do have aphids...😳 there, I said it... Those little fuckers.... Grrrrrr.... and of course, I'm into the part of flowering where the buds can get damage from trying to spray them.👺 Last time I had this issue (think I would learn prevention), I made a mixture of 3% peroxide and water, and gave the under part of the leaves a good soaking. That seemed to get me to harvest day without any damage. I did have to wash the buds after just to make sure I got rid of any aphid 💩 and carcasses.... Grrrrrrr... So, mix 1 Tbsp(15ml) of 3% peroxide with 1 cup(250ml) of water... add to misting bottle and spray the fuck outta them... protect the buds as best as ya can.🙏 I have paper plates with dry dill and sweet basil on them to help with the jerks... I guess the aphuks don't like the smell...😵 Hopefully, all this will get me through to happy days!😎 With the aphuks taking the spot light, let's ended there... Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 28C on average -Humidity: 64% -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... spearmint -Mixture for aphuk control... 1 Tbsp 3% peroxide/1 cup water Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Week #6 of many...👈 Here we are... six weeks in and my girl is starting to fatten up her colas.😍 Out of her eight main colas, there are a couple that are a little smaller and a couple little bigger... but in the end... they will all be vaped!😂😅 She stopped her growing at 33.5 inches... which I think she shrunk from last week (34in)... hope that's from the weight of the buds!😁 I bet out in the wild SB would be a very tall tree untrained... Might have to find out! 👌 Spicy Bitch also has a lot of nice and firm bud sites on the lower level... some of those satellite buds usually get removed but decided to keep them and they are turning out nicely... but I still believe that they steal energy and size from the main cola.💪 The temps this week has been nuts.... in the grow room, hitting temps about 32 C 😲 and yet Spicy Bitch is taking it like a champ... Great genetics @exotic_seed 👊👍👌 Better temps are in the forcast so we'll chalk the heat wave up as a training technique...😂 Watering this week consisted of 4L around day 3 and another 4L with Blackstrap on day 6... Going to try and keep the schedule with every other watering to add the good ol' molasses...👊 Blackstrap Molasses feeds the soil, not the plant...😀 Finally getting some nice sugar showing. Spicy B. was getting jealous of her cousins SexBud and all their glory...😂😅 I might have to get an air conditioner and see if I can get the night time temps down to 16 C ... that would bring the sugar on! Now for the Aphuks... removed most of the damaged leafs and after that spray, the aphuks certainly seemed to be under control... haven't seen any around but don't you worry aphuks... we know... we all know....👺 In other diaries, I mention doing the 6th week defoliation technique on the girls... I'm going to push it another week as I believe they are going the distance of 10... but if I find any more crutch crickets... I'll stripper naked!!!😝 Until the future... Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 26C (Heatwave 2days@32C) -Humidity: 60% -3 fans (all oscillating) -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... spearmint -Blackstrap Molasses... 2Tbsp/1 Gallon Water Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Ba-BAM!!! Week Number Seven 😲 Spicy Bitch is fantastic!!! This week, she decided to show a little more sugar and have a little purple peeking through. I know the purple isn't from low temps as it has been holy hot balls here... 😈 Whatever is causing it... love it!!! Down to business... This week she drank a little more water... 5L again on day 2 and 5L with Blackstrap Molasses on day 6... but I should have watered her on day 5 cause of all the heat... she was quite light when I picked her up.😅 Had a couple of days of decent temps, then right back up... Sits around 30 C... but, I still don't see any sort of heat stress, still getting size, no fox tailing... Once again... Strong genetics @exotic_seed! Her leaves are looking fantastic for week 7... there are a couple that have a little damage... could be from aphuks, wind damage, or I really don't know...😂😅😳 There was a round of defoliation... not too bad, just the real big ones covering the buds down under. Spicy B. has some orange hair going on... I haven't used the scope yet to check on the trichomes, but that will come next week... with pics! 😀 Her cousins, Sex Bud are looking like they're on the final leg of the journey... fun weeks ahead! 👊 I still don't have an update on the smell yet... just can't identify it... 😵 Overall, still chugging ahead, drinking lots and looking Spicy! Guess we'll call it a week... Grow Environment: -Area: 4x5 room -Light : Bloom Plus BP4000 -Temp: 30C -Humidity: 60% -3 fans (all oscillating) -10 gallon Smart pot -Kryptonite soil = (Living soil) -pH7 (soil regulates) -Companion plants.... spearmint -Blackstrap Molasses... 2Tbsp/1 Gallon Water Happy Growing!👉😁👈

Holy shit... week 8... where to begin??? Was not expecting this... Spicy Bitch 'hermed' on me...😢 Not her fault by any means... tried building a diy co2 canister but whether it helped or not, I believe it was too late... just too much heat! I know when there are 'nanners' there is a couple of different ways of handling it... some believe you still have about 2 weeks from first sighting... unless there are a boat load of 'nanners'... some try and carefully remove them before they pop open with pollen... once I seen her trichomes, I cut her down before there is any chance of seed... I do think I lost some size from it being early harvest... but it will be seedless!😁 Spicy B. is a 9-10 week girl... but to my surprise,😲 her trichomes definitely seem more then ready! The Pics show a decent amount of amber-cloudy-clear... and that's only 51 days... Now of course the lower bud sites have more clear/cloudy ratio... just adds to the head high... 😂 I was quite happy to see her stalk be solid in the middle...😀 last couple of grows, I had hollow stalks, and some say it's a Iron/boron deficiency, some say it's genetics, and some say it's hollow for the uptake of the nutrients, some even say that if there is not enough wind on the plant, that will cause the empty centres... 😵 I won't honestly know until I grow her again, but I made sure she had everything this time excluding the memo on the heat wave.😂 I struggled with cloning her...😐 didn't have any success until I removed some clones from her when she was past her first week of pre-flower! Threw them in a cloner, all five of them rooted really quick... 5 days, put them in soil, watch them go from almost 2 week pre-flower, re-veg, and they are weirdly thriving as outdoor... (will add pics soon) 👉😁👈 Germination: Tried for two, but only got one... good news is... I have a seed left... thank you @exotic_seeds! Going to try and do a long dry... if I can. It's nice and humid right now, so that's keep the drying room at 66% Humidity but temps are a little high at 25C ... Did a little test vape, grabbed a lower dry larf... Vaped at 190 C ... Still fresh and green, but had a nice sweet taste to it... will update on the taste, dryness, curing, and weight in the next few days... and add anything else I missed...😀 She's on the grow again list!!!😁 Germination = 😐 Seedling + Transplanting = 😁 Cloning = 😬 Training = 😍 Smell = Sweet Flowery with Pepper =😍 Bud Hardness (Growing+Dry) = 😁 Feminized Seed = 😐 Vaping = 😍 Overall = 😁👍 Update: I wanted to do a nice long dry... Temps were a little high between 21C to 24C but the humidity was around 65% most of the time, then dropped down to 50% around the 6-7 day... after 9 days total, Spicy Bitch was ready to go in the jars for the cure!💪 The taste certainly did change a lot just from drying... has more of a sweet, woody taste with some sort of herb undertone... it might be pepper yet... we'll wait for the cure...👉😀👈 Update Aug 6th: Spicy B. has been curing for a few weeks now, and I have to say, curing certainly brought out the pepper taste to it... Smell is still the same... sweet, woody with a strong spicy smell! Great Job @exotic_seed 😁
