Simily - Chimera 3 x Purple Milk 1*
Rice - Chimera 3 x Black Milk BC**
Collab between Right Hemisphere Genetics and BeLeaf Cannabis
July 15 - seed soaked for 10hrs in water and some zeus juice (fulvic). Moved to paper towel for 24hrs.
July 17 - Simily popped first. Into peat pellets sprinkled with mycos and into coco, lightly watered with seaweed and more mycos. Put under 240w led dimmed to lowest, 6” away.
July 20 - I’m a stupid dumbass. I put too much seaweed extract and didn’t bother checking ph, it was probably in the low 5/high 4. And I turned the led to 15% cuz simily was stretching. First set of leaves (after cotyledons) on Simily is burnt. Back under T5 led. Water at 6.5
July 25 - things are better….now I know to make sure ph is in range and to germinate under T5.
Trying out coco this run instead of Promix. Rehydrated bricks with filtered tap water + Demeters (calcium), MagAmped and ph down to 6.5. Amended same as peat, added some perlite and let it cook for a few months. I started tomatoes and cantaloupe seeds with this mix, they didn’t die so I’m curious to see what happens in the next few weeks/months….if everything fails I’ll go back to peat.

What a difference a week makes. Up potted July 27 and plants are taking off, growth is so much more vigorous (at 2 weeks and 2 days) compared to my previous runs, I think I will amend and grow in coco from now on….bonus cuz bricks are easier to carry and I don’t look like a heat score when I’m lugging around bags of promix.
No more laziness and dumb fuckery anymore, oxygenating water for a few hours and keeping ph in range at 6.1-6.3 (minimal nutrients and additives, not all at once, I spread it out).
Still under 24hrs T5 LEDs x3 for now until my tent frees up in ~two weeks :)
Gonna top and trim off side shoots in a few days, will flux/manifold both plants and aim for 12 colas each.
Let the good times roll 🌱🌱

Wow. They’re growing really fast. Topped after third node and removed lower side shoots…Simily august 1 and Rice on august 4…like nothing happened, starting to train them for total of 24 main colas.
Still under 3 T5 led 24hr. Watering 500ml every few days now, not all products at once, between 6.1-6.3ph. I think they’re getting root bound.

Chop and reload. Previous grow finally dried after a week. Cleared out the tent and gave a good cleaning. Plants don’t look so good cuz they were rootbound big time.
Up-potted to 10 gallon pots on Aug 17. I didn’t loosen the root ball even tho I should have, lots of OneShot, mycos and worm castings into the potting hole, I prolly added too much. Top dressed with GreenGro Defense (cinnamon, garlic, cloves, peppermint) to help repel pests. They’re getting adjusted slowly to their forever homes and under one SP3000 for now…. 70% and ~6” away.
Simily is a beast. Rice is not as vigorous, I was debating whether to toss her but figured I’ll keep her and grow her out.
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome back to another weekly update.
Recovering nicely from last week’s transplant. Flux is done and will start training out 16 colas on each plant.
Turned on both SP3000s at 60% and 7” away from canopy. Will be dialing them up
It’s gonna be packed, I’m making up for previously wasted space….small tent, big dreams.

Seed soaked July 15.
Added a few more pics on sept 5 after training. Removed side shoots sept 4 pretty much all the way to the tip. Top dressed with Bokashi Pro Gro 60ml each pot. Gonna let her recover a few days and then flip.
Sept 2 - Training pretty much done. 16 colas per plant. Will flip some time next week. Gave a few full strength feeds the past week, I think it was a lil bit too strong, noticing a bit of leaf curl.
That greengro defense ain’t repelling shit and it’s growing mold, like that grey/green fuzzy stuff, I removed as much as I could….seems like it’s more hassle than it’s worth. Back to brewing bti. And maybe throw in some nematodes.
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

And the stretch has begun…
Top dressed with approx 70ml (per pot) of OneShot followed by some worm castings. Decided to flip on Sept 5, gradually moving to bloom feed regimen…upping aminos and calcium, Circes and Herc (pig and cow bone) and introduced a bit of Bloom Khaos. Also gave them a boost of K (Flower Finisher and CytoPlus) in my latest tea. Gonna try feed x3 then tea (instead of feed x2) during this run.
Rice is tall and stretchy
Simily is short and squat
Lights are at 95% and 8” away from canopy. Been like this since veg, will move them up to 12-16” once the top buds start forming
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by and happy gardening.

All pics taken day 21. Stretch is done and tent is full, buds are set and starting to stack.
Mid bloom feed. Full strength teas. Yes this is a crazy amount of feed, I don’t use everything at once.
Introduced a shit ton of nematodes a few days ago…I think they’re actually working, I don’t see as many larvae crawling around and the adults have reduced a bit but I emptied 1/3 of a bottle in each pot, way over the recommended dosage.
Can’t wait for winter….I love beneficial insects and all that but the rest can go to hell. At least I’ve never had to deal with detrimental pest so far.
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by and for the support. Happy gardening.

All plant pics taken day 41. They both smell fantastic and the trichs are so beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye. One last tea then ripening feed starting next week.
Lights are like 80% power and ~18” away.
Fungus gnats have reduced thanks to a recent soak with CannControl and no thanks to nemaknights (two thumbs down), I dumped half a bottle per plant in a week (a few weeks ago), at first it seemed like it was working but they doubled after two weeks. Now I know to go straight for CannControl. Hopefully no more gnats during winter cuz the pests are in insect hell.
Few more weeks to go.
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by and for the support.

All pics taken day 50.
Couple more weeks I’m guessing. One last late bloom feed then ripening feeds till finish…in the meantime I seed soaked a couple of beans while I wait for this run to hurry up and get done.
Simily smells like honeydew and cantaloupe. Rice smells like ivory soap and tea tree.
Watering 1.5 gallons per plant every 3 days between 6.5-6.8ph and lowering to 6.4 next week. I really should do a slurry test to see where I’m at…
Lights are running at 75% power, ~16” away from canopy.
That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by and happy gardening.

All pics taken day 54.
They’re almost done. Some amber trichs on sugar leaves.
Simily smells like fresh cut cantaloupe and honeydew.
Rice smells like tea tree and a fruit stall.
Will give them a week or so…will defol here and there before chop.
Let the good times roll 🚀🚀🚀
Got bud rot….been raining and foggy past few days and I’ve been keeping my windows open. Two top colas gone and into garbage, 30 colas left. Checked both plants as best as I could…tossed a dehumidifier in the tent, gonna start flushing and chop next week.
Eat. Sleep. Grow 🔥🔥
Got bud rot. It was foggy and raining second last week before chop….and not gonna lie, prolly cuz it was sitting under the carbon filter. I haven’t changed or washed the pre-filter in a year, just a light tap and I can see dust flying everywhere.
Prolly tossed 1/3lb into garbage. Harvested prolly 1/2lb of tops and mids. And threw all the larf into the freezer for bubble hash.
Will update in a few weeks after cure.
This was a fun run. Mars Hydro for the win!
