Grumpy Grow #3 Solfire "Creature Panic"

10-29-2022 day 5 Girls are well, they are all pretty much the same size as far as I can tell. It's a little hard to judge since they are sill in solocup and planted at somewhat different heights evening up date watered plants 10-30-2022 day 6 So far no issues, all 3 plants look great. #10 might just be a hair smaller then #9 & #11 10-31-2022 Day 7 Seedlings are coming along nicely, one can see the daily growth of the plants. Thanks to me using clear solocups I noticed that the roots had already grown out to the perimeter of the cups so I transplanted them . This will be the first time I use fabric pots let's see if there is a real difference. 11-1-2022 day 8 Girls did not mind the move at all. They have already taken and have grown since the replanting. # 10 seems to be lagging behind just a little , maybe I will switch the pot # to see if the #kidCatapult makes a difference and the girl catches up. Turned light to 50% 11-2-2022 day 9 I switched pot #'s and now #11 is the smallest of the 3 plants. Should be interesting to see if the Kid Catapult helps it catch up. The girls are doing great looking healthy and strong. Watered them around 1/2 cup . 11-3-2022 day 10 It is becoming clear that #11 is the slow grower out of the bunch. While all 3 are developing nodes at same time #11 is smaller compared to the other 2 plants The leave colors are slightly different #11 is the darkest next #9 lastly #10 . Not sure if it makes a difference in the end but noted 11-04-2022 day 11 Restarted the count to the day seed broke ground. Plants are looking healthy Without a doubt #10 is the tallest and #11 the smallest out of the bunch. Watered the plants 1 cup

11-05-2022 Day 11 So beginning of week 2 and the plans are starting to separate from each other . All plants are at node 3 but the spacing is completely different. #11 is the smallest with tightest next #9 and #11 has the furthest spacing 11-06-2022 day 12 Same assessment as yesterday. They all grew but #9 are pulling away in size. Watered plants 11-07-2022 day 13 All plants are growing at a steady pace. Should be able to start training this weekend but no later then middle of next week. 11-08-2022 Day 14 Two weeks above ground. As far as I can tell they are all doing great. Watered the plants with1/2 cup of water 11-09-2022. Day 15 Going to start LST this weekend. Girls are looking healthy and strong. 1/2 cup water 11-10-2022 Day 16 Plants are growing at a steady pace. All 3 have 3 nodes . The spacing is different on all 3 . # 10 is running away when it comes to growth, it is already showing offshoots. #11 is the smallest and #10 falls inbetween. 11-11-2022. Day 17 Girls needed water this morning, but jumped right back. They are ready for LST so that is on the agenda for the weekend

11-12-2022 day 17 Started training the plants today. I laid them over at approximately the height of the pot. Worked stem before LST felt skin break on all 3. Started feeding plants atb75% of recommended. Lights are at 50 % I will raise the lights some more fir plants to stretch. 11-13-2022. Day 18 the girls seem they have recovered from the training yesterday. I did break the stem on at least 1 of them but given the fact that I broke skin on all but should be good. #10 has already nice size branching should start training them when I readjust the first tie downs. # 10mis also showing a little leaf discoloration but it does not seem to bad at moment but will keep eye on it. #9 is almost as big as # 10 while #11 is the smallest by far. Went in and started training the branching with the hoops 11-14-2022 Day 19 continued the training. #11 is smaller then the other 2 by far. the offshoots are no longer then .5" while #10 & #11 have shoots that are 2-3" .# 10 stem got hurt when I bend it you can clearly see the wound. I have the lights on 50% and lifted them to 24" I hope that will encourage the plants to stretch some 11-15-2022 Day 20 I hope I did not stress the plats to much or to early. not sure if I should have waited another week , but the stems were so woody already..... #9 #10 are doing much better or are much bigger then #11. I tucked the Fan leaves and looped them away from the branching , I hope this will enhance the light intake of the branches and they grow , I also lifted the light maybe 2-3 " 11-16-2022. Day 21 I have to remind myself that I only stated LST 4 days ago..... #11 is struggling compared to the other two plants 11-17-2022. Day 22 the plants are growing strong , there was visible growth on all 3 plants I restocked all plants and spend them up again. # 9 & # 10 should have branches reach the edge of pot in the next couple of days I will top # 9 & #10 this weekend not sure about #11 she is just slow and small compared to the other two plants. Next time I Train plants for potential Scroog I will bend them higher then I did this time so that the branching is not as close to the ground as this grow. Feed plants and turned light to 75% 11-18-2022 Day 23 Plants seem to be liking the additional light intensity , all 3 showed some nice growth since yesterday. I had to adjust all loops . I will top Plants tomorrow and in a few days I should be able to replace the loops with wire from the edge of the plant. You can see in todays pictures how much they have opened up and spread . Watered

11-19-2022 Day 24 I opened all 3 plants , moves the hoops and topped #9 . The nodes on # 11 are so tight I could not top it yet #9 are growing at a nice pace and I should be able to start tying them down at some point next week 11-20-2022 Day 25 did not do much today 11-21-2022 Day 26 Moved the hoops on #10 & #11 but tried to tie down #9 which I still find somewhat difficult. the plants are doing well the tops of all 3 stretches now way past the top of the plants and on 9& 10 the branches are almost reaching the rear of the pot and will hopefully in the next couple of days grow above it. 11-22-2022 Day 27 I again adjusted the hoops and ties. The #9 are branching strong offsprings while #11 is having a hard time keeping up. As you can see in the pics not one branch is close to the edge of the pot. The node spacing on. this plant is extremely tight. wondering if I should raise the LED some to have gils stretch some more. 11-23-2022 Day 28 I removed pretty much all hoops and tied the branches with pipe cleaner. I did leave some hoops around the fan leaves. I think I broke a branch yesterday it looked as if it was dying this morning . If it does not recover I will remove it tomorrow or the day after. #11 is starting to branch of but is growing so much slower then the other 2 . I will not take a clone off of # 11 but will clone #9 & #10 right before it flip into flower or possibly a little earlier so I have a chance to take additional clones if needed

11-26-2022 Day 29 #10's tops have reached the net & #9 is not far behind and should reach trellis by tomorrow. The branch on these plants is so woody that our of the branches snapped overnight due to me bending the brach without working the branch.. I need the side branching to start growing. They are sill 4" away from the trellis 11-27-2022 Day 30 First branches of #10 have reached the trellis the too other plants are not far behind. Fed plants 11-28-2022 Day 31 Bend the 4 top branches on #9 & #10 as they reached the trellis and I am trying to train them into the direction I need them to go. I am very conflicted about # 11 I do not know if I should top it or not. guess I am going to go and ask for some advise. well screw advise, I did what I taught was the right thing to do and topped #11. I hope this encourages more lateral growth because she I really not showing much of it. 11-29-2022. Day 32 not so sure about this scroog idea I had. I know it is real early in the grow but this is making me a little nervous . Once all the branches reach the net I will feel much better and I think that is were my nerves come into play. I am Just not used to the plant barley growing above the rim of the pot 30+ days in. This in turn makes me think that I possibly trained the plants too early or tied it off too low. 11-30-2022 Day 33 It is funny to me how my opinion changes by the day. The plants are rally staring to grow and #9 has also reached the trellis . I am considering topping the plants again but i am not sure if it will be overkill if i do so. I can see the screen fill in no time once all branches have reached the trellis. # 11 is standing out as such a different pheno to #9 & #10 The leaves are so much darker and the plant is growing much slower than the other 2 . the node spacing also seems to be much tighter. 12-01-2022 Day 34 More branches are reaching or are just about to touch the trellis. as the plants are growing out I can see how the small side branches are growing upwards due to the training of main branches. I am really laughing about myself. I go from worrying about the Scroog to this is the greatest thing ever within hours. But I do have to admit , as the plants grow it seems to make more and more! sense. Fed 12-02-2022 Day 35 Now i am staring to worry about how fast the plants are growing. To be honest, if they continue to grow at the rate they are currently growing I have to flip them by the end of next week, considering how much they will stretch. looking at the plants from on top there are bud-sites everywhere.

12-03-2022 Day 36 I cleaned out some of the growth in the center of the plant, I do not know why this grow is stressing me so much. on a normal grow I would feel so much better when defoliating. I am just not sure what to trim and what to leave, wish all branching would be at trellis.I am almost considering just growing the plants as i know and use the net as a trellis as i always do!! To make things even more interesting, I am going to try and take some clones of the plant.not sure how this is going to work out! FED 12-04-2022 Day 37 Took 2 clone cuttings off plant # 9 & #10 . I know it might be a little early but i did want to make sure that they root. The 3 plants are looking healthy. # 11 in particular has really deep green leaves . The leaves have been looking different from the start, I wish she would show the same growth as the other two . I am laying some of the branches but others are still not close to the trellis. 12-05-2022 Day 38 The girls are doing great, I removed all the tie downs that i was able to see. hope this will let the branches reach the net sooner.A good majority of them are very close . Good Chance that i will flip the light schedule this upcoming weekend. The Clones are looking good hope they will eventually root. 12-06-2022 Day 39 Looking at the girls i don't know if i have the time to wait for the weekend before flipping the lights. The net is filling up at a crazy rate and i am worried that the stretch will bring the plants to the overkill level.when i look at he plants .Ii sure wish # 11 would have grown faster and taller but # 9 seems to have a-lot of the traits # 11 has but is taller. #10 has much lighter leafs then the other 2 12-07-2022. Day 40 Clones Day 3/1 I absolutely hurt the plant some today during training them. I tried to bend each one of the branches without breaking the skin. Pretty sure I was more of less successful doing so. I did halfway break a branch of #11 so i Kept it as a clone. I am not sure if it will take however, it is fairly small comparative to the other 4 clones. The plants are filling up the trellis and I am going to flip the light this weekend even if it might late and I have to add an additional net for the vertical grow once the trellis is filled. Clones: as far as i can tell they are all alive, will check them by the weekend and see if any roots are visible. 12-08-2022 Day 41 Clones Day 4/2 Most of the branches have recovered but there are a few that still need a day or two. The leaf color difference of # 10 is really dramatic. The leafs are so much lighter then the other 2 plants. # 11 is catching up to the other two plants and in the end might be the keeper. I do think this could for the moment be the first and last time i try the scroog. LOL here I go again. Not sure how many times I have gone from "this is the best ever" to " what am I doing here?" Clones: no roots showing yet. 12-08-2022 Day 42 Clones Day 5/3(11-5)/1(9-5) I went in and defoliated pretty heavy below the trellis before initiating Flower tomorrow. Cleaning under the trellis was no fun and at first I has hesitant to remove anything , but then I went back into full Doug mode and got a good majority of the undergrowth. I did leave a few branches that did not reach the trellis yet but are just about there. I tried to alternating twist the shorter branches. I did find a 2-3 branches that had not recovered from the HST , Those i arranged so the leafs are exposed to the light. I noticed a few of the branches that i have been tucking to grow side growth that should end as bud. Those branches show what a real scroog should look like. Clones: As far as i can tell none of the clones are showing any signs of rooting. I hope the lights in the tent are not too intense. I accidentally broke a branch off # 9 I cloned it and put it outside next to the auto. should be interesting to see if it likes the light better.

12-10-2022 Day 43/0 I have to pay attention to the watering. The fabric pots dry out much faster than the plastic pots. When i opened the tent this morning the leafs where drooping badly and the pots were dry as a bone.I switched the feed to flower adding bloom eliminating boost and lowering the dosage of the grow. I watered the plants until I had some real runoff. The girls all look great and as if they recovered from the defoliation yesterday and the training the other day. gone have to continue tucking for the next few weeks until the stretch is over. Still not convinced the scroog is for me. 12-11-2022 Day 44/1 I was stunned to see how much growth there was since yesterday. The stretch has begun and it is real. I had to tuck quite a few heads. Looking at the screen, I am going to have to add a second trellis. I will 100% run out of room. Should I scroog again i will not use more then 2 plants. I turned the full spectrum down to 50 % and turned the IR to 25% As I increase the IR intensity I will Turn the full spectrum back up. 12-12-2022 Day 45/2 The bottom Trellis is full.I cant really keep the canopy level on this trellis so I am going to let it go for a day or two and then start on the second trellis. I noticed that the humidity in the tent rises to 80+%RH once the lights turn off. I ordered a small de-humidifier . Hope that it will take care of the issue. The soil was still moist so I delayed the watering to later in the day. Today is Feeding Day. 12-13-2022 Day 46/3 Not much to say today. The trellis is slammed gone have to let it grow and start in the next day or two filling up the next level Trellis Clones: none are showing roots yet but i am almost sure that they are just about to break trough the rock wool 12-14-2022 Day 47/4 I am trying to figure out at what height i should hang the second trellis. Currently it is at 4" and the tops are reaching it. I will wait until tomorrow and then set it at final hight and start tucking again. Now that everything is growing out I can see how a Scroog works.I have future bud sites that normally would only hold larf buds. Fed girls. 12-15-2022 Day 48/5 I have the trellis at the moment around 4" and I I wonder if I should lift the trellis and once I have all tops at around 4" drop it and start tucking again. I pinched the majority of the branches and tried to level out the canopy.I can see a bunch of future bud sites.back to being excited about the scroog! LOL Clones: not sure if the will root or not. I moved all of the clones out of the tent and moved them under the 80w. The conditions are probably not ideal but I don't think the clones could handle the higher light intensity. 12-16-2022 Day 49/6 Settled for 4" above old trellis. I started tucking again and the second Scroog net will be slammed full by tomorrow. # plants are way too much for a scroog in a 2x4 .

12-17-2022 Day 50/7 The scroog is full and I don't know what to do. Should I tuck or should I lift it left the branches grow and use it as a regular trellis. I also broke off a branch that may have been the main cola. I taped it and am hoping for the best. The grow itself is awesome you can see the different phenos in the bird view pics. Clones day 9 The clones are not showing any sign of roots. I hope the cold weather is not hindering the growth.as I said before might have to invest into a heating mat. 12-18-2022 Day 51/8 had to cut off the branch I broke yesterday. as much as it sucked it did make some room for other tops to take its place. I really did not do much tucking today. will let everything grow and see what it looks like in the morning and decide from there what to do. 12-19-2022 Day 52/9 The trellis is so full that I am just trying to keep the canopy level. I am again going from this is the best thing ever ,too , what did I do? I am still not sure about this Scroog growing technique. Clones Day 11 pretty sure none of the clones are showing any roots yet. it is possible that the environment is not very conductive for the growth 12-20-2022 Day 53/10 scroog net is full. I am just going to try to keep the canopy level.and I am not even so sure how I will be able to do so!! FED Clones Day 12 The base of the cups felt a little chilly last night. Since I do not have a heating mat to keep the root system warm I decided to stuff the cups into cozies. I am not sure but I think they should help keeping them warm 12-21-2022 day 54/11 Today is again one of those what did I do day. The branches are towering above the trellis and I am knot sure what to do. Today I say I probably wont scroog again.But wait until tomorrow and I will change my mind again.😂 12-22-2022 Day 55/12 everything is towering over the trellis, The one good thing is that I have a fairly even canopy. I hope that the stretch is coming to an end soon. I might have to lift the trellis just a little more to accommodate the high branches .I guess will find out tomorrow. FED 12-23-2022 Day56/13 The trellis is packed and I am lost. I am not sure how to proceed. All I can hope for is that the stretch is over . In that case ill be alright. I guess I can raise the trellis if I really have too.

12-24-22 DAY 57/14 I very much underestimated the stretch on these plants. the branches are towering over the trellis and I keep moving it upward. this really has nothing to do with a scroog anymore . LOL 12-25-2022 Day 58/15 This was been the second night in a row that the temps have dipped below freezing. The tent where in the upper 50's this morning . Little too cool for my liking. the girls certainly looked stressed first ting in the morning ,however they have recovered. The tent is overflowing and I can not wait to give the plants a nice big defoliation this upcoming weekend. It seems way over due. 12-26-2022 Day 59/16 Another cold night , but the Plants seem as if they handled last night better. They did not seem as stressed as yesterday. When observing the canopy one can clearly see the different Phenos . They all do differentiate them selfs clearly in vigor and color. Wonder how different the flowers will look from plant to plant 12-27-2022 Day 60/17 The girls are looking great and are starting to emanate some stank. the canopy is within 2" if it stays so i should be alright. it seems as if the stretch is coming to an end. This Saturday I will do a big defoliation and then we are off to the finish line. I only fed plants one cup this morning , the soil was still wet from yesterday. 12-28-2022 Day 61/18 The flowers are looking beautiful, I can't wait for them to start growing and show their real beauty. I am noticing the stems to the leaves are very purple and the main stalk is starting to display purple stripes. I am not sure if this is a genetic trade or if it is caused by the cold weather stress. Then again the temps are in the low 60's to high 50's and that would be my target in late flower. 12-30-2022 Day 63/20 tomorrow can not get here quick enough . these girls need a super heavy defoliation. These girls are overgrown and out of control. you can see that I have done minimum triming until now. Pheno #9 is showing beautiful purple/Balck colors I am expecting that particular plant to be stunning.

12-31-2022 Day 64/21 Today was the big day. The Girls got a super heavy defoliation. now they are able to breath and the light get down to the lower bud sites. I really tore into those girls. and I know for sure that scroog is not my thing . I feel as if I grew a bunch of super thin branches with tiny buds. As I said in prior comments it is possible that the 3 plants were just way too much for the 2x4. Fed 01-01-2023. Day 65/22 The Ladies seem as if they are doing just fine after yesterdays defoliation. Pretty sure they are enjoying the light and airflow. I turned the IR up to 100% FED 01-02-2023 Day 66/23 Looking happy and healthy 01-03-2023 Day 67/24 The girls seem to have recovered from the big defoliation and the buds are starting to fill in. The different Phenos are showing more and more daily . #9 is showing some real dark colors.

01-16-2023 day 80/37 The girls are looking absolutely amazing. The different Phenos are showing and the girls are absolutely. They have a heavy fruit smell, the leave colors range from light green to a deep red and everything in-between. I cleaned the plants up just a bit today . I am super happy that I was able to pull a clone of plant # 9 . Very excited about this. # 9 did have the deepest color in the leaves and is now by far the most colorful pheno I have of the 3. 01-17-2023 day 81/38 Wow is all I can say about the beauty of this grow. Each one off the Phenos is showing its distinctive features #9 has more of a deep purple fade while #11 is displaying every fall color and lastly # 10 is showing lighter green leves with a slight red hue. The grow itself is super fragrant 01-18-2023 Really not much to report today Fed 01-19-2023 Day 83/40 The pictures just do not do this grow justice. the colors in mt tent are just beautiful and the grow is so fragrant!! The Buds are starting to fill in and are feeling nice and tight . 01-20-2023 Day 84/41 this grow is nearing its end. I have about 2-3 weeks left prior to harvest and I could not be happier how these plants turned out. I sure hope they smoke as well as the smell and look!

01-21-2023 Day 42 Today I did the day 42 cleanup and once it was completed my arms and hands were one sticky mess. while cleaning I found some small buds I had forgot about. The Scroog seems a if it worked out so much better than I anticipated. From now on that is the only way I will grow. I still think I could have gotten away with 2 plants but I do like the fact that I have 3 different phenos. I wonder if they will smoke differently. I lowered the light intensity to 75% in the full spectrum & IR and hours to11/13 01-22-2023 day 43 The plants seem to be filling in now . they appear as If they got fatter since yesterday but that could also be my imagination. I am real interested to see how the plants adopt to the new light schedule. Really hope I am not making a mistake 01-23-2023 Day 44 The girls are starting to show the Creature side of its genes. The Buds are starting to display the Foxtailing the Creature is known for. The Plants are also starting to Ice out. Exciting!! 01-24-2023 Day 45 It is interesting that the only thing that is identical is the vigorous growth and the leaf shapes, The bud structure and colors are completely different, # 9 leaves are green grayish and are turning slightly pinkish and the buds have a cone shape with just the slightest foxtailing, , # 11 Has the most red color of them all , the leaves are deep Burgundy red and the buds are Foxtailing , these buds are showing its Creature side, #10 has light green leaves with a faint red around the edges and the buds are fat and cone shaped with no signs of Foxtailing. 01-25-2023 Day 46 I can't wait for these girls to be done 01-26-2023 Day 47 the girls are now starting to fatten up

01-28-2023 Day 49 Cut the nutes out today. Going into the last 14 days. It is really interesting to see the 3 different phenos . All 3 plants look completely different. They are starting to fatten up. They are very Fragrant 01-29-2023 Day 50 Ice Ice Baby! these girls are shining like diamonds in the sun!! 01-30-2023 Day 51 The end is in site. most trichrome are already milky. I am very excited to try this strain. 1-31-2023 Day 52 The tent looks stunning . All 3 plants are expressing completely different Phenos. I Turned the LED's down 25% for the last couple of days. Let's hope Sharkmouse is right, 02-01-2023 Day 53 The Buds are showing milky Trichomes but I can barely make out any Amber ones yet. I Wana say I have about 7-10 days left 02-02-2023 Day 54 Can't wait

02-04-2023 Day 56 I am potentially entering the last week of Flower. The buds have mostly milky trichomes and are not showing to many Amber yet. They do look as if they are done filling in and are just ripening. 02-09-2023 Day 61

It was a pleasure growing these Creature Panic. I really enjoyed the different pheno expression. All 3 plants ended up different.
