Dropped 3 seeds; Each one in a shot glass sitting on a 80F heated seedling mat. Each shot glass contains tap water with a few drops of peroxide. Once the seeds sit for 12 hour - I will carefully transfer the seeds to a paper towel, and fold it so that the seed is oriented with the pointed end down. I maintain this position when I place the coiled and folded towel, back into the same shot glasses to soak up the liquid and sit in the heated mat with a cover on them to block out the light and hold the heat in. A tap root normally appears within 48hr.
Starting to feed with their water. At the end of the week, transferred to to 7 gal pots because I will be out of town for a week and need to be able to feed all of my plants remotely from the same reservoir via a pump. Having the same size pots is important.
Was not able to tend them personally for a week, so I set them up with a pump/reservoir autofeeder. They were all under the same light, got the exact same amount of water/nutes. Came back to find 3 distinctly different plants. They did very well without me. #1 appears to be indica, its staying squat #4 is clearly a Sativa. It’s structure and narrow leaflets are the first clues. One of them has a lovely skunky odor already 💪🏽. I’ll have to move them apart to their individual individual lights VS the shared long light they are under now to determine which one is skunky. I sure hope the skunk stays.
This is the last week before the lights are flipped. I am removing the larger fans that block the budsites. #3 and #4 have shown themselves to be autos. #4 is a sativa and it is growing so fast and its really large for an auto of its age. #1 is the opposite of #4, small, compact, wide bladed leaves. #3 is middle ground.
#1 is not showing any sign of flowers or preflowers, it is showing some bleaching leaf tips and frankly I am not certain it isn’t a potassium deficiency, otherwise its a pH issue. It’s definitely not nute burn because it’s not had much in the way of nutes. I am moving the light up to 30” above the foliage in hopes it causes her to stretch out those nodes a little more
#3 is an autoflower, it’s got a smaller stature and gorgeous little pom-pom buds starting.
#4 is an autoflower that appears to be sativa dominant in its structure and bud formation. I’m impressed with how quickly it’s grown. It is nearly as large as a photoperiod I started 2 weeks prior to it.
#1 still isn’t showing flowers. I flipped the lights on 10/12 and it’s been 12 days. #3 is a gorgeous little indica auto that is just loaded with buds. Reminds me of Black Sugar. #4 is little taller and looked like it was going to be a sativa dominant hybrid. She’s loading up with budsites too.
#1 still not flowering it’s been almost 3 weeks since the flip to 13/11. #3 is loaded with buds!! #4 is also loaded. #3 and #4 aren’t stretching a ton, and I love that they seem to be putting all of their energy into making buds. I’ve defoliated some to keep the budsites in the light.
#1 had her own diary now. I needed to split them because she was still not in flower when these gals were 4 wks in.
Starting to see some purple tones on the buds, more purple tones on #4 than #3 right now. #3 has more trichomes than #4 at this time and #3 has fatter buds.
#3 is Loaded with trichomes and smells like candy!! Such a beauty, very compact form, easy to grow. I’m 😍 in love!
Under the microscope, a sample showed A few amber, but mostly milky and clear trichomes.
#4 seems a maybe to be a little longer flowering than #3. It’s not quite as far along in cola development. It’s a nice mid-size, super easy to train. It’s a nice mid-size plant, super easy to train. Absolutely beautiful colors, the smell is more of spices, exotic wood, and something else - I can’t tell if it is leaning sweet or chem because the spicy, almost peppery exotic notes tend to obscure it.
I’ve been stuffy headed for a few weeks, perhaps now that my head is clearing up I’ll be able to ID the terp profile better soon.
These girls have come through (intentional) varying temps, humidity and pH variability randomly thrown in during all of the weeks, that caused other plants to stress, and even herm. But these girls have made it to the end beautifully. They were easy to grow despite a lot of variability, they were not drama queens. The worst thing to happen was a little tip burning and curling. Not bad girls, not bad. #4 smells more chem than anything else while #3 smells sweet and candy-like.
Gorilla Candy - Vaped some flower right after trimming. There WAS a strong cilantro scent on my hands. The first note of the vape was rotting fruit, but that quickly faded leaving strong herbal notes. A Cilantro flavor dominated the vape. I could discern some linalool, but the other herbal terps blended so well into the cilantro taste/scent that it was difficult to pick them apart. The effect is not really any head high, but wonderful body relaxation, muscle relaxation, and it even feels like it may have an anti-inflammatory effect similar to a NSAID. I don’t mind the taste of cilantro, so to me that taste from the 1st vape was not off-putting. It was more curious than captivating taste-wise on that initial vape right after trimming.
Edit to add: I’ve vaped it again while it’s curing. And the cilantro smell is just gone. Totally gone. What’s left is ripe plum and berry notes with a little fruit blossom, perhaps with a few mint leaves.
Edit to add again: A few days later and the fruit is taking on more of the over-ripe notes. Such an interesting evolution getting to sample vape this fresh and while curing.
Medicinally the effect is very nice. All of the physical comforts without feeling very impaired is quite nice for medicinal users! I’ll be growing out this one again!
Easy grow, tons of budsites. I just gave it basic grow and bloom nutrients, basic soil, didn’t push them for performance and still managed to pull 120gm dried & trimmed buds off of this one.
Seedsman Juicy Zkittlez, Tester #3 is a strong indica, flavors are reminiscent of Sweet Zombie. It’s got a pleasant sweetness over light floral notes with a topnote of a lingering balsam like airyness. Not really minty or camphorous, much more pleasant and smooth but still very apparent. It was such a pleasant flavor. Normally, I’d vape 2 dynavap bowls of indica at bedtime. After my 1st bowl I knew it was stronger than most, but the taste was so nice, and I was feeling great, I went ahead with the 2nd bowl. A couple of hits into the 2nd bowl I knew it was definitely a strong one, but dang it was good, so I finished that bowl too. 8 hours later I am still feeling relaxed and a little in the haze of it. Not high, but definitely that great xanax feeling. I will certainly grow this again!! I tried a single bowl right when trimmed the buds and it was not remarkable (yet). Put it aside to cure a couple of weeks, and now, one month after the chop, and a 14-day, 60 degrees F, 60%rh, tightly-controlled, dry down and she has totally come into her own. I will most certainly grow this one again and pamper her a little to see what I can get. For people who think that autos can’t be a strong as photos - you are wrong. This is an amazingly strong auto. Thanks Seedsman for the honor of letting me test this one. Just call it Sweet Sweet Connie ;) “doin' her act She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.”
Such an easy strain to grow and large, tight, conical, nugs on a compact plant. Yield was 70gm. I didn’t fuss over it at all except defoliation. I did remove all of of the inner and lower popcorn producing buds. Otherwise, I just kept the res full. Using Earth Juice Seablast is just a matter of adding 1/2teasp of dry grow or bloom nutes per gallon of water. I freehanded a touch of molasses and added 2ml of silicablast to each gallon as well. Ph’d it down into range, and that’s it.
The smell is sweet but not easily defined. I’d call it a silky-smooth, sweet floral with a wispy, balsam-herbal, lingering top note. It’s the kind of thing that has you say, “that’s nice, I think I‘ll hit that again.”
@DaenerysT, I’m totally blind as to what they are. #2, 5 & 6 are here waiting for another grow.
I only had room for 3 this run, if I run them on a quick veg. I let the spouse choose which ones to run this time. I’ll do that with one seed of each tester. That will tell me what I’ve got for general structure, and then I can go back and run them again and train appropriately to maximize their yield etc…
