Orange apricot gelato x Medellin

Kevin_grows_hard Last year I grew in soil, This year I'm going Coco because it is closer to natural hydroponic growth. I can already tell they have taken off quite well compared to last year.

Kevin_grows_hard What can I say other than holy s*** compound genetics and cookies / lemonade hit it out of the park with this one. This is the fastest growing plant I've ever had. I will be sacrificing two of these so that I can have seeds for the next year.

Kevin_grows_hard Materials are on the way to make silver thiosulfate, that way I can pollinate one of the female plants and create an s1 seedline. Or an f2 seedline depending on how you look at it, because I'm just crossing it with other phenotypes of itself.

Kevin_grows_hard Getting ready to separate a couple of them off to pollinate with the silver thiosulfate.

Kevin_grows_hard Started with amino acids, and added kelp and humic acid. If you haven't tried these three things you should. Mind you these first four that are moved out into the other room three of them are sprayed with STS to stop the production of ethylene so that they will produce pollen and then self-pollinate, I also added a fourth plant that wasn't sprayed to be a mother plant. It collects the pollen and will be fully seeded out.

Kevin_grows_hard Second week of flower some other plants are starting to develop pollen sacks in a separate room the other plants are just flowering. Interesting to see that the STS were delayed but I'd only say by a day or two.

Kevin_grows_hard Some of these are STS and some of them are it's hard to differentiate but next week you will be able to see the difference.

Kevin_grows_hard These are the non STS I don't have pictures of the STS for this week.

Kevin_grows_hard Turns out I mixed up the STS wrong you can't add part a and part B together incorrectly or it will precipitate and you will see brown in your mix it should be totally clear when you mix up STS or you have to do it again. Also don't use metal to stir it. Mixed up fresh worked amazing. I think it took three sprays total and I didn't have to spray right as I flipped it, you can spray it later. I think mine work 2 weeks in when they actually got the real stuff, The bottom half of those plants are still normal buds and they are pollinated by the top of the plant dropping feminized pollen to create feminized seeds.

Kevin_grows_hard Half and half, regular flowering and STS sprayed plants, search picture is labeled to tell you which is which, also to show the lower "regular bud" sites on the STS plants

Kevin_grows_hard So the pictures from before were my STS males and a friend's that had switched to flower the same time as my STS plants. From here forward will be the ones that I had cloned that will actually be my keepers for bud.

Kevin_grows_hard Clones all 2nd and 3rd week flowering. Also the results of STS female to males, they all turned purple smell like fresh squeezed lemonade. Also my friends re-vegged plant that grew 4 more kola buds off each kola. It was a mistake but maybe something to be learned here about bigger harvests lol

Kevin_grows_hard Some of these are "Glazed Apricot Gelato" crossed with Lemonnade's "Medellin". Also goto earlier weeks to see me reversing the above plants with Silver Thiosulfate. Some are "Total Eclipse" from compound genetics. VPD is the secret to everything. Plants breathe, stomata open, then the roots suck up water. Maintain a 1.5 VPD and they will drink the pot dry every day. But be very careful do not nutrient burn. Lower ppms like 400-600ppm. 6.3ph. Then plain water ph'd the same. Checking runoff for ec/ppm and ph. In the coco ph goes on at 6.3 and comes out about 7.0 so it covers the whole spectrum for macro and micro nutrients. A huge thank you to AC Infinity!
