Trying out some boutique genetics from the west coast.. Gnostic seeds/farms in Oregon got some killer genetics/crosses. I got a few strains from them to try out. This one is ASTAPHANOS Parental lineage is : ((Chem ‘91 x Green Ribbon bx) x Gorilla Wreck) These are regular/non-feminized seeds Did 48hrs in light peroxide/water mixture then 48 in wet paper towel Into root riot plugs. I had to cut them open on one side to fit the tails in there without breaking them or causing damage Excited about these babies!

2 are a bit ahead of the other 2 2 have opened up and showing first leaves, where as the other two are still not opened but they have sprouted. Will be transferring to medium of choice within the next few days and going outside for veg. Likely 70/30 coco/perlite from Mother Earth Might as well use the sun in the summertime instead of paying extra on the electric bill. Plus the growth is phenomenal

Welp! Unfortunately only one of these really made it.. the others may have survived if I waited them out like I did with this one. She’s shaping up quite nicely tho this one that I kept. Had some like tobacco mosaic virus looking stuff on growth but seems to have grown out of it at this point. Likely will transplant to 1 gallon until I know it’s sex. In fact, since it’s just this one, I’ll likely transplant then allow for recovery and then put in flower room.. If it ends up male I’ll know within a week or two.. And because it started out with issues it probably isn’t worth cloning

Well she starting getting some vigor finally but got some deficiencies going on here. First time I’ve used Promix HP and I think some feeding stuff is off. I’ve got so many damn plants going right now it’s hard to keep track of feeds as well

Yo everybody, Well this girl is taking off. And I can definitively call her a girl because I spotted stigmas this week. Even though we saw some mutation type issues early on, I’m quite happy where she is right now. Looking really healthy.. Going to transplant tonight into probably 3 gallon or so, let her get used to that, take a cut or two, and throw her in flower!

Took cuts, topped and left 3 nodes/6 branches.. Confirmed as Female Growing real healthy now, put in 12/12 last night to initiate flower - August 10 She’s been transplanted into 3 gallon container also for about a week. 20% FFOF and 60% promix HP And 20% of Mother Earth coco perlite (just made it up on the spot to try something different)

She’s looking really good for the first week of flour here. We are seven days in exactly. Minimal stretch so far. She’s been topped and left three knows She’s looking really good for the first week of flower here. We are seven days in exactly. Minimal stretch so far. She’s been topped and left three nodes, then topped again before flower on the upper two nodes, bottom node left as is to hopefully grow up to the main canopy. Very happy with how she is maintaining even canopy with a little work. Glad I kept her around, because she was struggling the first few weeks of life.. a lot of times those end up producing the best buds! UPDATE day 10 of flower Stretching has become more significant but she’s keeping a nice upper canopy all in order and level. Stigmas/Pistils grouping and forming at the top of each “top” Still looking remarkably healthy for the issues she had the first weeks after germination Thanks for stopping by folks!

Day 14 of flower Looking great so far, amazed at how quickly it’s formed flowers for only being 14 days into 12/12 cycle. I think she’s going to end up a real good producer, I’m super excited to run some custom genetics like these. Keeping a real even canopy, there’s like two tiers to it. You’ve got about six or eight colas up in the middle center area, and 8-10 down low on an outer tier like 6-8 inches below. I think honestly were through most of the stretch, I could be totally wrong. Just going off of intuition and what I’ve seen in the past with stretches and how they happen in accordance with flower formation.. who knows tho. It’s probably just wishful thinking because I think if it stretches more than a couple more inches it might not have the branch strength for super heavy buds. And I’m wishing for that too! so I’m real excited about this now that I’ve seen the last 10 days of flower - it’s amazed me and intrigued me as to what the end result will be! Thanks for stopping by folks!

Day 21 of flower.. will add more soon but not much to say. Going to do some lower defoliation/ bud removal today and that should be it for the duration of the grow.. aside from minor plucking of leaves if needed. Looks amazing for day 21. Great size and structure of buds. Found two pollen sacks a few days back on lowest nodes.. none found since then.

Killing it, loving this growth and bud production Day 28 I’m predicting right here and now these are gonna be gorgeous, voluptuous, frosty buds in 3 weeks time latest. So glad I kept this one around and kept my patience with it. Great genetics. Day 31 UPDATE Fattening up. Fed some PK in GH koolbloom liquid which is 0-10-10 It’s hard to get a good pic of it but it’s getting some blue or purps coming in.. very subtle right now but I’d bet it’s gonna have some niccce color when all is said and done..

Just crazy that this is Day 35 of flower. The buds aren’t massive but they are dense like end of cycle dense somehow. One branch/top/cola whatever is distinctly purpled/blued it’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m sure with colder temps at night - it will really be showing in a few weeks time. Most the other buds are jusssst showing signs of some purps if you look close enough. All around amazed with these guys genetics. Terps are harder for me to nail down than usual.. little piney with citrus as well. Whole room smells pungent when you walk in. DAY 41 update Two days back on day 38 I was suspicious of salt build up and flushed the shit outta the medium. Ran some florakleen and let them a gallon regular water - 1.2 EC ok not big deal but keep going to be safe Another gallon - 1.8 EC Another 2 gallons 2.8 EC! Shit so sure enough we got some build up but I flushed it and hopefully that’s the end of that - there’s burnt tips on leaves but buds are looking freaking phenomenal. It’s day 41 and this looks damn near done. Keeper pheno for sure I’m just praying the smoke is as good as the bud looks. This medium was mainly promix HP M - which I’ve never flowered anything in. I used it cuz I wasn’t expecting much from this since the other ones died off. Trichs are on their way to being full cloudy.. dense trichomes forest for sure. Thanks for tuning in!

Oh my goodness this plant is such a treat. One of my favs to grow so far this year. Insanely quick onset of flower. Probably gonna be done well before day 56 or 8 weeks. Currently at Day 42 of flower. Colors are setting in.. some deep blues and wine reds in some areas. Just stacked trichome growth. They’re are getting cloudy. Bummed I let some salts build up and caused some issues as you can see the leaves are a bit burned and unhappy but I leached / flushed completely a few days back.. feeding light before I go into a pre harvest flush. Man - so impressed with this - and glad I have a policy to always take cuts from everything now! Cant wait to see what she looks like in a week

Day 49 of flower. Holy moley this thing is gorgeous and such a fast flowerer. I’m gonna start flushing and chop within the next 7-10 probably. Colors coming out.. it’s something to behold. Plucked a bud to show the color underneath. Freaking magical Gnostic seeds, check em out. Smaller breeders out of Oregon.

Day 56 flower Day 4 or so of flushing Should likely be taking it down when the fade starts in the next couple days hopefully. Trichs are almost all cloudy and a few ambers. Smells gassy as hell with some other scents I can’t describe fully. Nice purplish/blue flowers showing out now. —-Day 59 of flower update —- Fade is hitting now - so that’s good to see. Like for trichs to be a littttttle further along but it is what it is . —-Day 60 of flower—- Fading hard now.. noticed significant difference even from yesterday. So so close Took a tester branch off to dry early Maturity is weird at this point. Judging by pistils/stigmas, I should chop. Trichs tell a diff story. They’re about 70% cloudy, 10% amber and 20% clear. I’d really like to see that clear fade to cloudy but I could have screwed up during early/mid flower with that salt build up causing nute burn. It happened around the most vital week or two of flower IMO. Oh well, at least I caught it and corrected decently. This has been one of my fav grows and flowerers in a long time. CHOPPED OCT 10 - 61 days total Shout out to Gnostic seeds - check em out
