All seeds germinated within 48 hours of soaking in a wet paper towel. Very excited for these strains. First Humboldt grow, second photoperiod indoor grow for me.

Both pheno's are doing great, will be repotting to 70% coco 30% perlite this week, and then topping deep once they've grown about 6-7 nodes for a nice and evenly spread out canopy.

Repotted the girls this week and they are looking healthy! Didn't fill up the pots completely as I didn't have enough coco, but this should be enough pot space to fill up the tent nicely.

Finally deep topped the girls about a week after repotting. All looking healthy, the growth structure on the plants has been a bit weird, with a lot of internode space. Looking good though, I’m excited to fill up the space and start the flowering phase! 🙏🏻

The girls are doing great! I’ll start using the scrog net soon to spread out the canopy and fill the tent completely and flip to 12/12! Did a little defoliation this week, and both VF pheno’s expressed very narrow and tall growth, so I decided to super crop the main branches to spread out the branches a bit. That should make scrogging a lot easier 👌🏻

I did a medium defoliation at the start of this week, to prepare for the flip. Also, as can be seen on the pictures, I've installed the scrog net to help spread out the canopy. I already topped them a while ago which helped create about 6-9 main branches on each plant. The scrogging should maximise the yield as every square inch of the tent will be filled with big, medium, and smaller branches. On day 21 of flower I'll defoliate very aggressively, but for now, I'll keep staking/bending down the branches too until the real pre-flower stretch starts. Growth is insane at this point.

I had an amazing time scrogging the ladies the past 2 weeks. I flipped on the first day of week 7 and the whole tent was filled with branches evenly a few days later. I did some minor bending and defoliation/lolipop, and but I’ll leave them grow and stretch through the scrog net from now on, and of course do a big defoliation/lolipop on day 21 of 12/12! All plants are growing evenly and both pheno’s of both strains look very, very, similar so far!

The growth this week has been insane, both strains/plants are showing preflowering sings and stretching hard! The plants are probablh 2-2,5 times bigger compared to day 1 of 12/12. The Blueberry Cupcakes are starting to show buds a bit sooner, but the Vanilla Frosting is getting there as well. Big defoliation coming up on day 21 of 12/12 💪🏻

The stretch this week has been insane.. as you can tell by the sticker’s height, the plant have been racing upwards! I supercropped some of the tallest branches, and lollipopped and defoliated a bit here and there. The big defoliation is coming up on day 22! The light was way too close, as these plants stretched way more than I anticipated, but I managed to hang the light way higher (just about 5 cm from the top of the tent 😅) I’m stoked as I can see trichomes allready on all plants 🤩

I defoliated all plants on the last day of week 3, and the growth has been insane since. The buds are growing fast and getting frostier everyday. Also both pheno’s look very similar and both smell of gelato/vanilla already 🔥

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I doses down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm! The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots) both pheno’s smell like a nice and strong gelato (vanilla/gas) 💪🏻

Both are doing amazing, we’re cruising right now as I’ve slowly started dosing down the nutrients. The plants are looking well fed, all leaves are beautiful dark green, more towards a burn than any deficiencies! A little fade is starting to kick in as well. I’ll be leaving on holiday upcoming week, and all the plants should be ready to harvest once I return! Both pheno’s smell like vanilla and gas, very nice strong sweet gelato terps on both. Super dense and sturdy buds, should be a decent yield 👌🏻

Big chunky buds, and both pheno’s smells exactly what I was hoping for: sweet creamy vanilla with some gas. This is deffo my favorite terp profile, I do love to mix it up with some fruity/candy gas, that why I got the blueberries too. Both plants are in top shape with beautiful dark green leaves, and super dense and thicc buds. they’re starting to show a nice purple fade too despite the summer temps. I’ve been lowering the ppm from 1100 at the high point to 850 now. This is the last update for two weeks as I’m going on holiday, all girls should be ready to harvest once I’m back 🤩 My roommate will take care of the flush, I filled a 30 liter tank with feeding water, after that he’ll refill it with just water and some ph-min!
