Here we grow again... since strawberry 🍓 is hanging by her toes it's time to fill the 4x4 back up.
I dropped 3 each Ripper Seeds "Washing Machine" and Seedsman "C99 x Blueberry" in a 24 hour bath of peroxide and water. Soaking 6 rapid rooters wet some solo cups of Happy Frog soil... I still have a little time left to cook my used soil amended with Earth Dust dry organics in 7 gallon tall fabric pots. I switched from 5 to 7 gallon because last grow with the big sativas I was concerned that 5 gallons of living soil was going to struggle to feed the big ladies, that was not the case. The Green Sunshine Co knows what they're doing over there the Earth Dust fed them all the way to harvest.
Hopefully all 6 will come up so they can grow together unlike the last grow I still have 2 Thunderfuck in there finishing up...
Please do that click 👇 thing on your way out, thanks and see you soon 🤞🤞🌲🌲

Update = 10/30
Just wanted to add a couple pictures all the seeds are in rooters and I wiped out the 4x4 with peroxide and moved the pots in. I obviously still have two plants finishing up in there they're both Alaskan Thunderfuck that are almost done.

Here we grow again, I got 6 of 6 to pop but either one washing machine was to wet or I broke the tap root burying the rapid rooter but it looked good in the evening and was laying on her side in the morning. I propped it up with a tie wire and the leaves still look alive so I have a tiny bit of hope she'll pull through 🤞🤞 but I dropped another c99 x Blueberry to replace it if not. I only bought a three pac of washing machine or I would have dropped another WM. They're all in my 4x4 with the Spider Farmer sf7000 I have it set at 48" inches and at 150w I don't believe in babying my plants so I will be increasing the wattage quickly but keeping a good distance, I feel this get them used to the brightness of the light and as they grow they are increasing their own light intensity by growing closer to the light...
I was having some problems with the washing machine in here I had the original one just die I blamed myself and overwatering now there's a second one that hasn't grown at all this week, there's got to be a point I have to stop taking the blame on all these I've been doing this for a long while.... the final wm is closest to you on the right it seems to be okay so far. The replacement is already larger than the little wm I've potted up a few that had roots coming from the bottoms already and hopefully I can get the rest in this week.

Hi, These are growing along kinda slowly but they are healthy I believe it's the cold I bought a sheet of insulation foam to put under each tent it's a little late to help much now that I have turned the lights up and is getting warmer but will help in the future.
I topped all four of the larger plants and stripped them so I can start the manifolds I left two nodes on the front middle one to try a quad on it (my first) since I have four of the c99 x Blueberry I would experiment on one.
That small washing machine is the same age as all the big ones not sure why it is being difficult but it always seems like one plant in every grow has to be difficult 😆 the other little one is the c99 that replaced the other washing machine that decided not to grow. My plan with the two little ones is to just allow them to grow much naturally I'm sure I'll top them and do a little pushing and pulling on them but this I'm hoping will allow the two to catch the others in height keeping things level 😬🤣😂 yeah right even I had to laugh at that.
I think that is it for the week we'll see you later
Cyrus
Hello again, I'm just playing around in here with a couple different variations of a manifold and the two little ones I haven't decided on what I'll do with them possibly just allow them to grow and top them so maybe they'll catch up?? We'll see 👀
See ya
Cyrus
Hello again, I'm pretty much just playing around in here with different training trimming and defoliation to see what happens in the end. I've done this before but I had smaller lights and obviously couldn't get the amount of penitration as I can with the spider farmer sf7000. Plus I like trying different things all the time it keeps things fun. They are getting close to needing some food so I can switch them over to flower but I think I can go another week but they are growing good well except the obvious one in the corner and the washing machine closest to you far right it's doing fine but staying shorter it will be fine it's not sick like the little one above it.
Not sure what happened with this one it was looking a little ruff for a while I don't even mess with them trying to figure it out just keep it wet with everyone else allowing mother nature to work her magic underground. That's why I love growing in living soil the plant communicates with the soil the soil adjusts it's ph to the plants needs and fixes itself. No testing or flushing necessary just water until it's time to top dress with Earth Dust Boost in order to go into flower.
Till next time, grow on fellow growmies

Hello everyone, I when ahead and switched the light over to a 12/12 schedule to start them into the stretch and then flower. I cranked the sf7000 up to 600w leaving it all the way at the top of the tent and I'll allow the plants to grow up to the light and once they finish the stretch I'll do whatever light adjustments I need to. I did switch one of the washing machines over to the 2x4 and brought the badazz og cheese over here because the canopy was a better match and the washing machine needed a little more veg time we'll see what happens with them. Just out of curiosity I stuck my phone in there to see what it said for ppfd and dli I included some pictures. I've been seeing some pubic hairs on a few of the c99xbb so they might not stretch as much as I'm thinking they will but I'd rather have more room than not enough.
Next stop flowers 😁🍻
Cyrus
Hi again, this tent filled up nicely I'm seeing some pubic hairs (pistils) so we should have some hedgehogs (flowers) next week 😀 I did have to supercrop the two in the back because they are showing their sativa side the other c99 in the front might need some adjustment later in the week then there's the 4th c99 in the middle that is showing a whole other side of the family gene and staying small. The washing machines are looking good the one I moved to the other tent is staying a little short so I'll probably leave it over there and the one front n center is starting to stretch a little but of course not going to keep up with the c99. I have the sf7000 full blast and dropped it down to 25 inches from them and because I've been running it up pretty high the plants didn't even flinch. I'll back it off a little once they stop stretching and start making some trichomes.
Happy holidays hope everyone is doing well in this crazy world
Cyrus
Here we grow again I have moved one of the washing machines to another tent and under another light so I made a separate diary for this one too...
These c99 x Blueberry are moving along very fast 😋 Seedsman was not kidding when they said this was a fast strain... I have always been impressed with Seedsman's genetics though.
I'm doing the same thing with the minimal defoliation on these plus I switched from 5 gallon pots to 7g adding more soil should add more food available to them. Growing in living soil is very rewarding but has it's limitations compared to other styles of growing, that said the quality is what I'm after and Earth Dust definitely delivers that
Happy new years everyone
Cyrus
Week two of flower over here too, but I'm getting enough stretch from the back three c99xbb to make up for the no stretching in the other tent 😆 I've supercropped them two times each except the one all the way to the right it's been done three times 😆 got to love the sativas thank you Seedsman for this great sativa the one different pheno front right did some stretching this week and I love how it's looking. Front left is the washing machine and it too is doing good, it's got a great indica look and is loaded with buds. These will get their final feeding later on in the week and while I have them out of the tent I'll do a good defoliation and clean up their bottoms so they'll get better light penitration and airflow but still leave as many leaves as possible
See you all soon
Cyrus
Ps. I apologize for the lighting on my pictures I'm not a photographer and my tablet doesn't have a flash... the plants are green I promise 😆
Hello again, I spent 4 hours in here today they all got their final feeding and trimming and I peroxide cleaned out the tent. I had to put some milk crates under the front two on the left to get them up to the light. Now it's just water and time till they are ready to come down
We are starting week 4 and I couldn't be happier with these Seedsman c99xbb look at the long spiraled colas and fast 😍 and the Ripper WM is a more indica leaning pheno that is more than pretty 👍 thank you for stopping in, grow on my friends 😀
Hello all, these beauties are growing right along, not much to report on them the pictures say it all. A big thanks goes out to Seedsman for the great genetics on the c99xbb and another to Ripper for theirs. I did reduce the light intensity just a tiny bit but other than that it's just water and time
Hello, there goes another week now we're at the start of the 6th week of flower so I'll start lowering the light intensity later this week to let them start to ripen up the c99xbb are a fast strain and should finish up in the next 2-3 weeks and by the looks of the pistils they are on schedule, only time will tell. Thank you Seedsman 🍻 for the great genetics
Hey everybody, another week in the books 😎 the c99xbb have become smelly monsters I'm thinking they've fattened up about as much as I want them to so I've backed off on the light intensity so they'll finish up and get a little more frosty 🤞🤞 I've got to get in there and do some trimming and get rid of all the consumed leaves
Hello everyone, well today was a cleaning day in the 4x4 so I've got lots of pictures for you 😁 I wanted to take a look at some trichomes on a couple of them and needed to get rid of some leaves so they all came out to visit us. Today is 62 days from light change so looks like everyone is on schedule to finish up like Seedsman said 8 weeks for a sativa that is a wow in my book. Thank you Seedsman 🍻
#1 has had her arms broken (which is why she looks odd) three times and is still as tall as the others she could have been over 5' if I had room 😜 I'm thinking about a week or so and I can start cutting
Hello again, I have pulled out #2 c99xbb and trimmed her up for the chop, I'll be cutting her later today or tomorrow morning. The other three are not far behind even the washing machine is really close. Thank you Seedsman I am very happy with these ladies
Great strain I ran this one as a manifold with 8 tops it took training well grew out without a problem and finished up with nice fat buds. My only issue was a lot of leaves in the buds themselves.
I'm a fan of a good sativa and this one didn't disappoint they grew with ease and with real nice buds. The plants were a little different in appearance but the buds were all solid and definitely a handful with branches strong enough to hold them up all the way to harvest
