So after 2 failed attempts at growing a blue monkey, 1 my own fault, the other, the seed never came up. Now I will grow a critical mass from ILGM. I will attempt the blue monkey this coming summer. This will be grown the same as my OG Kush. Will use Dyna Gro brand products for nutrient as well as Recharge and TPS Canopy boost.
12/10/21 started a critical mass from ILGM. Put directly in rockwool cube.
12/12/21 I can see the root.
12/14/21 the helmet is approaching the opening. 1-2 days and should have a seedling.
12/15/21 the seedling has emerged.
Light set at 28 inches at 50% power.

Nitrogen toxicity, leave/shoot grew in cover of others and you just pulled him out from dark, direct wind blowing constantly into that part.
I have 3 versions ...
All the Best !

Plant is dry after 3 days. Forgot to set humidity back up in house. Still, buds turned out great. Perfect for jarring. Final weight outcome was more than expected. Got 8.25 ounces of bud and 30 grams trim. Very spicy with lemon flavor. Very heavy hitter. Very couchlock after a couple hits. Buds were very resinous and very dense. The bud size was not overly huge but definitely ok in size.
Very resinous plant. Very dense buds. Will be back for a dry weight. Did take a small lower bud several days ago, dried it to try. Made me feel dizzy. I think I might like this strain.
Forgot to raise home humidity level so dried a little faster then wanted. Still ok. Very happy with harvest. Overall a fun grow with no real problems. The plant didn't over eat, she liked it around 900 ppm. Was surprised by the short bud cycle.
2 week cure update:
So during dry I accidentally left my humidity down around 37%. The reason was this plant needed very dry conditions to grow without mold. So during dry I forgot to change and dried @ 68f / 37%RH. Dried quick. Jarred up with 62% Bovida packs. The buds are very dense. The flavor is of sweet skunk and earthiness. The exhale is of citrus, coffee, and spice. The buzz is serious lazy day sit on my butt and do nothing thinking it's fun. Will be great for insomnia. I have only been getting up 1-2x night, usually 5-6.. This is more of a night time strain. I recommend this strain.
@Go4Gav, my last grow was an HPS and LED combined for a total of 650 watts out of the wall. My new grow light is 400w but supposed to be 2.5 g/w? I'm hoping!!
@Hempy_the_kid, I'm sure you will mate , easy done when ya done it before .. I reckon you can do more .. I'm pushing for plants to be 2 pound each this time 💪
