V.S.O.P (The Spice #19 x Sour Snow) This is an A-Team R&D grow. I’m proud to be a member of the Twenty 20 team. Our focus is to bring you amazing genetics. Before strains are released they must go through many trials and grows to determine if are worthy for home growers. This is one of those test grows. I hope you enjoy! Update: on day 5 the germinated seeds were put into soil. On day 6 they were already emerged from the soil. They were watered in using a microbe tea and put under the main light at 10% power for the time being.

I really don’t like to think of this as Week 1 of Veg but there isn’t a seedling stage for the diary. It’s all good tho. The girls were looking a little leggy so I increased the power and dropped the light closer. So far everything looks to be off to a good start.

Start of week 2 Veg. I transplanted all the ladies and watered in with a nice microbe tea. This will help with the transplant shock. The supplies needed for my irrigation system should be here today, so I might be able to set it up today or next week at the latest. The girls seem to be doing good. Last week I was ashamed to see thrip damage on my leaves. I’ve been growing for almost 10 years and this is the first time I’ve encountered thrips. So even seasoned growers have things to learn. I’ve watered with nematodes as well as Mercenary and foliar spraying daily. I’ve been looking closely at each plant every day and I think I stopped them before their population got out of hand. I won’t stop spraying until flower so it should keep them away.

Week 3 Veg. I was still seeing a couple of thrip larvae wiggling around, so I went with a friends suggestion and upgraded to Dr Zymes Eliminator. Today was the first treatment spray. The thrip population has severely dropped and I’m seeing lots of new healthy growth. To make up for what they have suffered I may have to give the photos an extra week of Veg growth. All of the girls have stayed very small and squat after the leggy seedling stage. This is a direct result of the proper lighting as well as the Bloom Khaos/Optic Transport foliar spray that I am applying this round. The nodes are stacked literally on top of each other. They are all right around 5 nodes high, which means all the photos will be topped as soon as I can pinch the tops safely. Week 3 Veg update. The girls were topped at the fifth node and stripped. The girls that were given a scrog screen were left with only the top 2 nodes and the rest were removed. The ones that are being trained with clips have 3. I like using two or 3 nodes when scrogging. It’s makes it easier for training as well as more uniform yields.

Week 4 Veg. The girls barely noticed the defoliation and topping. Already there’s new and strong growth. By the end of the week we should be able to start LST and scrog training. Some of the girls are showing slight signs of calcium deficiency, which just means I need to bump up their feedings a wee bit. Shouldn’t be a whole lot else to do this week but watch them grow!

Week 5 Veg I gave the girls another haircut. It will be the last one before flipping to flower. I’ll do my usual last defoliation at the end of week 3 in flower. I might do one more week of Veg, or I might flip at the end of this week. I will decide for sure on that day. I know they look thin and small, but they will 100% fill those scrogs during the stretch. It’s going to be awesome!

Week 2 Flower The side branching of VSOP is amazing. If we compare the topped clip-trained plants with the untopped one, we can’t see much difference. Instead of the classic Xmas tree style, we have a plant that bushes out with very strong lateral branches all on its own. I like that very very much!

Week 3 Flower We had one of our VSOP girls turn herm and had to be culled. It was disappointing given the most excellent structure that this plant is showing. It was the least stressed plant given it was the one that was left untopped and untrained in any way. Other stressors that could have triggered this change were possible light leaks and accidental temperature drops during lights off. These have both been corrected and the rest of the grow room are not showing any signs of male flowers. The rest of the girls were given a final defoliation. I will avoid any more defoliation unless I think it’s necessary. We’ve exposed so many more flower sights to light and now we will watch them grow.

Week 5 Flower This week has been good. I think I finally have the proper VPD dialed in for the flower room. The girls look healthy and are getting bigger and frostier every day.

Week 7 Girls are looking good. Due to the schedule of moving to our new home, I will be starting the Nectar Flush for the next two weeks before harvest. I really hope they put on some more weight. They are sooooo frosty which is great. Hopefully they gain some more weight in the next 2 weeks.

Week 8. This is the last week. Due to time constraints with the move to our new home, I needed to cut the grow shorter than what I would have liked. There is just enough amber in the trichomes to let me feel confident about the chop.

Scrogs - she is a great candidate for scrog. All 3 mini scrog screens did great! Beautiful tops throughout. Even the smaller nugs are very chunky. 7.26 oz-8.48 oz - 6.76 oz. Topped #1- multi topping and lollipopping resulted in some amazing uniform spears. It was so easy to harvest this one and oh so frosty. 9.27 oz Topped #2 - more amazing long stacked spears with chunky lower flowers. This plant showed much more inter-nodal spacing than the others. Another easy plant to harvest. The contrasting purple stems make for a beautiful bouquet. 7.97 oz
