JellyBreath GaryPoppins AppleCups '23

I'll edit when I have more info but I wouldn't know how to weigh this shit wet. The smaller buds are dense as baseballs all the way down. Really excited to see what kind of quality I have here but looks👌

Honestly the Jelly Breath were not as crazy-potent as I hoped. I got my hopes up way too high this grow because all of my variables felt pretty-well locked in. But I do think I made big mistakes: Only topping the JB once, because I thought space would be a problem for 5 in an 3x4 but I ended up with SO MUCH larf because I only had 4 giant 4 ft high stalks with buds too damn close to the light and smaller buds too far away. That happened with GP1 as well: Looked crazy good, super-frosty and ready to chop in week 8 but they both turned out the LEAST amount of quality smoke. I also may be letting the humidity stay too high, and I might let the temps stay too high late in flower. Again, I'm thinking it was a mistake to let them grow 4ft high to begin with. Wider, more tops, veg less or veg into a bush then flip, and probably let plants go beyond 63 days if I want grow couch-locking, mind-erasing indicas. I'll get a lab test next week just to have a number, but this is strong, super delicious skunky-diesel funk that just doesn't have as much kick as the GP. I've got another JB growing now in week 3 of flower, shorter, wider, topped more (at least 8 tops this time, looks like). We shall see. Good luck out there and thanks for visiting this emotional rollercoaster of a grow diary. ✊ Many months later: Inexperience is a killer. Finally letting plants fully mature has been the last, but one of most critical steps for my growing. Example: I have a Week 7 (flower) Inhouse strain that is legitimately only a week away from being chopped. Hairs completely pulled in, tight formation and what I just call "bulging" after that or bulking sounds much better and less wang-related. Meanwhile, 2 cali connection strains are 3-4 weeks away and 1 Spaceman Seed Co. strain is 2-3 weeks away. So one of my MOST repeated mistakes was the mistake that cost me the MOST in terms of potency. I have no interest in anything anyone would call "day smoke" so lucky for me a couple of strains did finish faster (Mamiko Chem Cookies, Inhouse Slurriking) but that probably just confused me. Now that I know what I'm looking for, and now that I stopped chopping when plants are still 3 weeks away and covered in hairs, I can continue this growing journey. For me, most of my grows need 80 days but I wonder if it has anything to do with running a 480w light instead of 800-1000w lights? Probably not if my Slurriking is under a 300w light in a 2x3 and my 3 slower-growing strains are under a 480w light in a 3x4. Good luck out there!
