I am very excited to present this beautiful genetic by Exotic seeds,
They have been really knocking it out of the park lately . Then pairing that with Diablo nutrients, it's sure to be a impressive grow.
Germination method as follows:
1. Open the packs up, get them into a 60 mil water container.
2. I use unbalanced tap water because it seems to produce the best results. In the past I have tried pH balancing and using that water at like a 6.2ph , I have the best luck with just straight tap water + less that a .5 ml per liter.
- tap water temp is @ 22.4°c w/225 ppm
3. After 2 hours in water I was able to get them to sink to the bottom .
4.Leave in a dark area , in this case I use a drawer .
5. Leave them in the water for 12-24 hours.
6. They were in the water for 12.5 hours before being transfered to paper towel.
7. Place seeds carefully into a Ziploc bag , then place them in a dark area .
8. The dark area had a min / max 22.° c min - 25.7°c , 48-54% humidity .
9. Check paper towel every 12 hours to see the progress.
I had no doubt that these beans would got 100% germ rate .
Ps. Used bounty brand paper towel & Ziploc " medium" bags .
This week has been just a pleasure to have these girls up and going . They started off at the beginning of week one barely poking out of the dirt . Within the first 48 hours of being in the soil they had what they wanted and started to shoot right up !!
Very impressive that even at a young age they are all growing homogeneous.
After 96 hours I said "ok girls it's time to stop stretching!!" So I used a low watt ufo COB + led grow light , put it as close to the girls as I could withought letting them burn. I used the old , out your hand over the canopy, hold it there for a minute , and if it burns you it's too close and if it doesn't , your safe to have the lights position that close .
The stretching seems to have stopped , and for me I don't mind a few extra inches below the canopy, later on it will help me create sufficient air flow to the soil / roots area .
Using Diablo nutrients with exotic's genetics just seem to work symbiotically so I'm confident this is gonna be an " impressive" process !!!
It is the start of week 2 , I have started to get the stretching under control to the way I like it . We begin using MONSTER ROOTZ to start getting these girls a massive advantage under the soil . They will be going into a full solo cup within the next coupleof days.
They are still a little young for me to decipher if there are more than one phenotype, so far they have been nothing short of impressive.
I am starting to see a slight difference in the length/width of the fan leaves . As these go further , I will be marking these alot better but for now they are very close in size .
Begining of week 3
So it seems as if we do have two different pheno's , I have ran Herz og before and that one has the longer sharper fan leaves , the one with the broad and short fans seems to have enharited traits of the cookie family .
#3 is showing tighter internodal spacing.
All of them are looking wicked increasing daily , loving life !!!
So for sure see two different phenotypes one that is following the broadleaf cookie family due to the animal cookies and the other more a what I like to call Sharp leaf and I think that's due to the herz OG. That being said I'm positive on both of them because I have herz OG growing right beside these ones in my other garden.
As they go to flower I will have them better marked as well be doing just a little bit more and extensive note to see if the internal spacing is the same if the morphology between one and three and two and four stay similar and then just kind of go from there but so all in all they're on Pace to be some of the most healthy girls I've seen in a long time.
And look at those roots ?!?!
Use MONSTER ROOTZ by Diablo nutrients to get these types of results, stuff is amazing .
They got a transplant into the 1/2 gallon pot , at time of transplant they received 750 ml @673 ppm water . They small support ring was added to give them some relief , mostly just for fan support . Just blown away by how well these girls are growing !!!
Little slight differences in pheno types are starting to show , #4 has some waving leaves , I think she is trying to pray she just doesn't know how lol .
Green and gorgeous!!!
Stay tuned
At the end of this week they are starting to pray really nice !!!
Nothing to say negative about these ones , again an impressive show for exotic seeds !!
**** sorry for the background on my pictures guys , I was moving all week , no excuses just letting people know I will have this new pixel pro phone dialed in within the next couple weeks
Start of the week , I am now noticing for sure 2 seperate pheno's ,
#2 has some of the longest fans I have ever seen ,
#1 I think will end up being S1 .
#4 is similar to #2 but the leaves aren't quite as long , never know might have a third pheno .
#3 aswell is ready to take clones
#2 has shoots off the main stem that are already able to take clones off as the are 2" long .
*** I should note that my numbering system is #1 was the first planted , the #2,#3,#4.
Healthy happy and doing great !!!
Stay tuned
Before anyone says it , yes I know this is not fIMing, started to run out of room , so this is a fairly well known technique, I don't do it on every grow, but this time it made sense to open up airflow and get some light into this girl ***
*** As I did this on all my plants , I'm gonna call this '''Tipping''' maybe the term will catch on .
I will be taking the bottom parts for clon soon as we aren't far from flower!!
Clones have been cut and things are ready to move to the flower set up , increase CO2 + increase my DLI to around 60 moles .
Just had time to get the pictures up I shall write my update asap !
Thanks for waiting on me 😊
So I think it is safe to say there are two different phenotypes on this grow.
The last set of pictures I put up , that was pre water , so they look a bit angry , all in all some mean green machines !
They are telling me they need to be transplanted, and a defoli before flower .
These have been such a blast to grow , if you haven't tried running Exotic seeds , I highly suggest you do . Low maintenance, extremely resistant , and at the end of the day , some of the best smoke I have ever had .
#2 is showing some serious OG traits long sharp fans that if I'm being honest give me goosebumps! She is my front runner right now .
*As you can now see cutting the previous leaves tips off had done absolutely no damage .
** Another note would be these pictures were taken as the surrounding environment has been dipping a but cold , so some of them show leave movement/ temporary morphology due to a dip in temperature 🌡️🤒.
Also I am pulling back the feeding just so they aren't getting burnt 🔥 once they are in their propper pot they are gonna have more than enough to get them pretty .
I am very confident when exotic says " if you are looking for the best strain in our catalog you've found it " they mean it .
Remember these are all getting trained, so the goal is to keep them green and happy for the time being !!!
This week we are turning it up !!!
In the past a mistake I made was over feeding , so with this run I pulled back a bit on the nutrients.
So this week everything will get slowly increased getting up from the 7-800ppm range to the 9-1100 ppm . What I watching for is excessive run off , meaning I want the run off to be clear/ slight darkness. They are just sooooooo happy , they will be going into 15L Auto pots on Monday ( so this week) then it is on to flower time .
I promised a really beautiful show here so I am gonna live up to the expectations, hopefully surpassing the norm.
These have been begging for a new pot wow , some are starting to get angry with me !!! They will be transplanted within the next 96 hours , they are really gonna have fun on their new room .

Do yourself a favor check them out !!!
So start of week 7 :
Definitely still with the two different phenotypes one more leaning towards the hers OG side of things with the thinner longer leaves and the second being the one that is closer to the animal cookies with the fatter broader leaves, and so far they've had very minimal stretching and very tight internodal spacing .
1&2 got transplanted into the 15 L pot , but unfortunately the hydro store was out of stock , so I have #3&4 going into the 15L pots asap .
My first goal for this week is to get them into their proper pots and then as I'll show in some videos I take the larger fan leaves away from the canopy in order to remove and make room for the shoots and the flower spots.
I know with working with the herz g previous ; actually I do have Herzog going in my room right next to these girls that I'm doing , just to give me a good optic on what the beginning was of the cross between animal cookies .
I haven't done animal cookies myself but I have done a lot of cookie strains.
That being said they are going to look pretty angry with me taking those leaves but given time I know that it's the best way to get those nice stinky fat spudz, so as a master grower these are the times where you do what noat people are to scared to do .
I know sometimes I even doubt myself but you come back a couple weeks later or even a couple days later things have recovered and then you see at the third fourth week of flower that the decisions you made to open it up was a good choice .
Anyways we got a family birthday party today so I will make sure that I get those videos edited and ASAP thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
These girls have all finally got into their 15L Auto pots, right now I am just waiting to get the roots accustom to the pots before I rig up the system, really excited to try them out .
Goal for this week :
1) make sure I expose as many flower sites as possible.
2) get the canopy opened up for maximum airflow , I will do this through Low stress training. As you can start to see I'm using zip ties to put anything above the first ring on my tomato cage. Anything that is unable to connect to the first ring of the tomato cage will be left until flower and then when it stretches I will put them on the second ring of the tomato cage.

So this week is the start of flower !! Woooohooo finally get to show what I'm made of !
Step one ) take all the big fan leaves
Step two ) establish a "light line" and take all small shoots that are unable to get the proper amount of light due to their distance from the top of the canopy. * These are the places we all wish would grow ! These are also the places that are at risk of
- hermaphroditism
- mold
- waste of energy for the plant.
** These are also some of the best places to take clones **
Continue to tie and secure everything in preparation of massize buds !
I hope some people looked at this like
" This took way too much off "
I took ALOT. Yes I push , I push hard to know how much they can take . Yes I would say 60% of plants DO NOT like a massive defoliating.
But, the ones who do , you will unlock a yeild like never seen .
It's the risk we take .
One thing I have noticed is when I'm gonna defoli , I don't combone high stress or toping + a bunch of other techniques .
Should have some pretty huge plants by two months !
Thanks for stopping by more notes and pictures to follow .
First week of flower was a great success!!! Unfortunately I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly where I would want them .
For these genetics, it's crazy , they haven't been topped or LST'd and yet they are growing flat at the top !
*** I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly up to par.
So I'll do my.best to make it up with notes ,
- this week very little flower stretch that is definitely a plus for people who want medium sized bushy plants . Not saying that this one won't stretch but so far there has been very little stretching .
- there are ALOT of nice shoots throughout the canopy, plenty of places to take clones *** this genetic clones very well so that is another thing to note ! So great clonability .
The end of week one I have seen very little stretching , in my opinion these could all be considered S1 . It interesting, even with no topping or training these plants NATURALLY grow FLAT! so for all you Screeners out there this is a primal genetic for that !!!
In to week two !!! Here
We
Go !!!

Absolutely a life-changing nutrient company for me really brought my game to the next level.
Oooooo baby !!!
This is starting to come together very nicely .
So everything is looking green and mean !!
I would say that they are gonna need to have a boost in feeding . The leaves are looking just a little bit lime . Nothing to be too worried about .
I'll be sitting on my hands to keep them from plucking these ones crazy I'm definitely going to leave it till week 3 just to see how it works out usually I would definitely pretty much every week but let's just see what happens on this one.
So more notes as the week go on , stay tuned .
If anyone has any ideas of how to get a better S.o.g picture please hit me up.
So I finally said " Let's do this" took the girls out of the room to get some good shots of them !!!
So at the end of this week we are start to get a bit of stretch going on, still staying bushy plants, I am so excited to pluck these motherfudgers!

If you want to know more about the nutrients that fuel this grow
Very happy ladies.
WEEKLY GOALS :
---------------------------
- pluck the whole room !!!
- stake all large spudz that need may need support for down the road .
- run a cleaner through my lines ( which switching over to auto pots , I want these ladies to have a clean line of path for ALOT of drinking 🚰)
- take any shoots that are too far barried in the canopy to flower correctly.
I really had to sit on my hands and let these girls grow
My pictures seem to have re organized themselves, just give me a few here and I'll get the full rundown .
So this week ( day 21-23) was MAJOR defoliating.
What my first step is to start taking the largest fan leaves . My next step is about halfway through the canopy I'll stop and then I'll start working on the very bottom of the plant now at this stage in the game anything that doesn't even have a nice Bud site so a nice white hair sticking bud at the very bottom like shoots I'll just cut them right off.
This is the first steps of a main line but I don't complete the actual full main line I probably will try it sometime soon just not this time.
So you take off anything that is a small shoot coming off the main stems and then your next step is .
STOP. It might be a minute it might be 10 minutes, 20 min , it might be an hour or more ( my tip is don't wait a full day I try and do it within the first 12 hours of starting it) but I always stop just to look at what I've done sometimes if you get going too quickly you can end up doing way too much.
Stand to talk to canopy and look what sites are getting hit by light what places are these families beneficial to use for photosynthesis. Anything that is not doing as much good will be taken off and at that point I'll probably do another you know 5-10 minutes of defoliation maybe take one or two more shoots at the bottom to ensure what's left there is a huge fat cola that's going to give you those huge buds .
After this you're going to want to do your best to support those stems that are going to hold a lot more weight as if the plant would have been with all the shoots so you're going to want to just make sure that you have staking in place or some sort of support system to keep them from flopping over a breaking them in the future because that's one thing yeah it's great but then it'll get to a point where oh no stuff falling over and then it's just more hassle than it is helpful.
I got alot more pictures to follow this week so stay tuned !!!
Well now is the week where all the work starts to show !
The girls are focusing all there energy into those foxtails aka colas lol
Really impressed with this whole grow with exotic seeds , I highly recommend anyone who is looking for the best of the best , give them a try !!!
Start of the week so many more notes to come !
On a 2 of the girls I believe they should have had a little bit more taken off the bottom portion of the plant . Extremely excited to see these girls finish off .
They didn't get too tall , they all are like a bush !!! So if you are growing this one, use low stress training to get these girls a little bit more open .

Wow , I don't even know what to say , this is all coming full circle , like the frost is just starting and the weight is piling on . Wow. I'll come back with more notes just a little bit down the road !!
So here is an update for this week .
We found out that one of our sensors was not working , this area was receiving way too much humidity, as a result : WPM- white powdery mold .
This is something I have never had before ! But the whole group has came together and I beleive that we have it under control !!!
I will have some extensive videos and notes to help anyone with this issue !!!
Luckily I caught it at THE VERY START! I will have next week's updates asap . Also exotic seeds is the best for fungal defense built into their strains! So I know if I had anything other than their genetics I would have for sure lost control.

As you can see by some of the pictures the WPM on this week was starting up , as the weeks go on you will see it slowly lose its battle withmy elements !!!
As you can see the white powdery mold is starting to lose my thoughts were getting a HEPA filter into the room .
2) because this mold mostly lives on leaves what I did is I locked out the soil. This was a technique passed on by a legacy grower in my area.The way it was explained is by making the pH higher than seven the plant would no longer be able to receive nutrients through the soil and it would have to eat whatever nutrients are left in the leaves. This woukd change the pH of the leaves aswell to help kill the mold .
Lastly I greatly increased my wind movement so that air would be continuously moving no matter what it was a little bit hard on the leave tips that burnt a little bit but at this point windburn on leaves is pretty irrelevant when you're looking at the whole picture.
I don't think this would have worked with any other genetics but exotic seeds mostly because from what I've seen with them is a very high resistance to mold and I think that played a huge part of the process.
Also having diablo nutrients monster wash, without that I do not think I would have won this battle
Notes to follow shortly, just trying to get all the pictures up and organized !!!
So on this week , the buds are fully recovered, just about ready to be chopped down !
There are some brown tips and discoloration in the leaves but that was all on purpose . I overly increased the air movement, as a result some of the leaves got some wind burn . Not an issue it will just add to the magic of the smoke .
*****************************************
My White Powdery Mold solution:
1) spray Diablo nutrients Monster Wash.
2) Add a certified HEPA filter to your grow area.
3) Increase airflow, even if the plant is getting alot of wind , at this point, the positive greatly outweighs the negative.
4) PRAY 🙏 lol even if your not religious!
5) Cut off all nutrients, do this just in case you do have to do a cut down quickly that at least at the very least what is good will be white burning and flush properly.
6) Raise the PH of your soil ( via water that is above 7.0ph)
I believe I got very lucky on this one just due to my ability to recognize and diagnose problems. I was not done alone it was done with the advice of mentors the years of listening the amazing nutrients I use. Last but very not least the incredible genetics of exotic seeds.
Without:
Diablo nutrients
+
Exotic seeds
I would have been in a way worse situation.
If you ever struggle with white powdery mold or if you need someone who has some experience in this feel free to hit me up via message anytime.
Will be adding a whole lot of notes to the last couple weeks just trying to get all my harvest pictures up :)
This one was a pure treat to grow . I am confident using exotic seeds that they can produce some if the world's best cannabis , hands down .
They all were bushes , not too much stretch in flower at all .
Usually in the first run with a strain I'm just figuring it all out.
