Buds are starting to fill out now, and some hairs are turning brown. Really impressed with the "soil for life" soil mix by indoor organics. Not a discoloured leaf in sight. Such a pity I had male flowers on my two biscotti, I'm still finding it hard seeing a half empty tent. But the sunset sherbert are looking great, even if one is a bit small
@junglistbandelero, lets hope your worms are less fussy than mine. Mine bed in coco coir and refuse to eat it, as well as cane mulch and grass clippings (green or brown). Last time i used worms (10+ years ago), by the time harvest came i had no worms left if the pot. Now I'll just use castings and leave the worms in the farm. Currently making a casting mix for a future grow :)
@Mr_Death_himself, from my understanding the worms have plenty of food with the amendments within the soil, they also can eat the cocofibre and the mulch layer on the surface. I also believe worm population will echo the resources available over time. I have a couple of worm farms and I can tell you they definitely don't eat half their body weight each day despite what the internet says. I really don't think I'm heading for root rot as I'm not piling food scraps on the mulch just trimmed leaves, which dry out fairly quickly under the light
@junglistbandelero, cool, i get it with the ground cover. Just be prepared, your 1kg of worms eat 500g of food a day. They'll also breed as well. That's alot of food that needs to breakdown properly or it'll cause root rot amongst other things
The blue sunset looks like a good producer, is there much of a aroma?
Pity about the biscotti but I find almost one hemi out of every pack of runtz muffin. And that’s after about 4 packs of 5 seeds. Problem is a lot of these American genetics just seem extra sensitive/hemi prone even in perfect conditions
@junglistbandelero, no the market moves forward so quickly I don’t think there is the time to work these new fashionable lines especially once released. The older genetics I think were worked more, new stuff seems to have crazy variation in phenotypes and much more hemi prone.
On the flip side even with the runtz muffin I ran being hemi prone and massive variation of phenos I still found a couple of phenos which was the best I have ever grown over the last 20 odd years. So it’s not all bad at all just need to keep a eye out for those hems lol
@Esoteric_growing, do you think they still work on them after they start to sell seeds. Just wondering if in time they will breed out the Hermes? Or you think they just look to the next strain.
@junglistbandelero, bro most companies aren’t even testing the strains. They let us do that task lol. Barneys do test and grow their own it’s just every release is almost a race because it’s not long until the next must have hype strain is here and whoever releases it first gets the money.
Ich hatte das selbe mit meiner biscotti, die Kreuzung scheint nicht sehr stabil zu sein..
ich habe bei mir im unteren Bereich der Pflanze ein paar Pollen gefunden, habe sie aber einfach entfernt und sie sind nicht nachgewachsen 👍🏻 Sie sind auch eher intersexuell und nicht hermaphroditen 🤔 bei mir waren beide Geschlechter getrennt voneinander
Viel Glück mit der sherbert😁
@Scampi, thanks for your comment, I have always had good luck with Barney's farm, but I won't be growing the biscotti again. I did think of removing the pollen sacks but there were alot of them at the lower part of the plant. Sorry to hear you had a similar experience.
Great diary! I was looking to see if anyone else's experience was similar with this strain. I only popped one seed, but I ended up with the "grassy" pheno. Great producer, but not the best flavor or quality.
