Hello and welcome to the start of something hopefully wonderful....I know I've said this before lol but I have a good feeling about this run... I decided to pop a couple GBOF from Ethos genetics and to clip a few clones from my cross to run together side by side in a 3x3 raised garden bed! What do you think about that! I started the seedlings in plain promix with a little Stonington on the bottom for when they get a bit more established. I've used this method before on my Grape Drink seedling with amazing results so I'm hoping to replicate that here with these two little girls. The clones are in promix as well with rooting hormone and have just begun to root and show signs of growth. I'm trying to keep everything on the same growth cycle so when I transfer them to the 3x3 bed we can flip right over to bloom within a week or 2. The garden bed is filled with coots mix and castings for compost.

Alright ladies and Gents, here we go! My little ladies have made it through the first week of life and everything is looking great. Nice and healthy looking leaves, not too lanky and she seems to be liking her light pretty well although it's a little difficult getting the settings right for them... Regardless we're gonna let them veg in these bags for about 2-3 more weeks then we'll put them into the 3x3 garden bed which we now have full of coots mix from BAS! One of the clones is doing very well and the other, not so well but thats life. Might have to cut another if she doesn't turn around in this next week. Well thats all for now, thanks for stopping by.

Here we are, at the end of the 2nd week of our veg for these new beautiful seedlings and these clones...well at least one clone is rooted and veging and the other is close behind, so we're right on track. Everything is looking great besides a little turning of the leaves but thats just the humidity most likely because its not drastic enough to be light intensity imo...plus it's at 50% and hung pretty high. I believe we're gonna be alright with these ladies! They look amazing for seedlings and the stocks are getting nice and thick this week so we should definitely see a lot of growth in the next 2 weeks. Exciting stuff. The clover has germinated and I added another 2 gallons of BAS castings to the 3x3 so its ready for when they're ready. Thats about it for this week. Thanks for checking in.

So its another week down and another week started for these youngens! And they are looking great. Nice and thick stocks coming in and lush colored leaves meaning good photosynthesis and chlorophyll production 👌. I'm stoked for these girls. I ended up making some more lactic acid bacteria for them and gave them a nice foliar spray to bud up those immunities and help break down that organic matter. Good stuff, I suggest you look into it if you haven't. I also water on and off with quillaja to make sure we have good moisture in the soil and to get those saponins in the soil/plant. Also really recommend if you grow in living soils with peat moss. Game changer for real! So yeah, all in all the babies are set and veging away, and when the time is right we'll transplant to the big bed! Thanks for stopping by.

Week 4 down and out. The girls are in full vegetative mode and looking super healthy and happy...so am I. Everything is on track at this point in the tent as far as growth so we're moving along nicely and should be able to go into bloom here pretty soon! I'm going to put these ladies in the 3x3 this week so thats exciting news! Next time you see these girls they'll be much bigger and in their forever homes. Thanks for stopping by.

Alright! Look at these ladies go! Its the end of week 5 and we're done veging! Finally we get to fill this tent up with some flowers! As you can see I transplanted them into the 3x3 and everything seems to be great. Top dressed the bed with the rest of my castings from BAS (about 2 lbs) and some more bokashi to help break it down into to top layer of soil. We've been watering her on and off with LABS as well to help awaken those microbes so she's ready! I'll be top dressing her with build a flower at the end of the week to ensure she's got enough nutrients but I think we're set. Thanks for stopping by.

Here we are at the end of our first week of flower and everything is looking lovely! The girls got a good top dress of build a flower, bokashi and homemade gnarly Barley! That should be a good start for them for bloom...shit I might not have to feed them at all after this seeing that everything is fresh in this bed but we'll see. We have a good stretch going on which I love. One pheno is a bit squat and bushy while the other is a bean pole lol. I'm diggin it 😎. The clone is doing its thing, awesome structure and good stocky branches to hold up those buds to come! I'm stoked to see what these girls will provide! Thanks for stopping by.

Okay, okay 👌 looking beautiful at the end of week 2 of flower. I made up a nice batch of JADAM microbial solution to replenish the soil(highly recommended), and also mixed up some Growing organic bokashi with Gaia green insect frass to top dress the ladies with for the chitin and micronutrients 😉....not to mention a whole bunch more microbes! I'm really loving this living soil/KNF style growing and so do the plants from the looks and smells of it. So yeah, everything is on track for a good bloom cycle...we'll go on and off with the microbes every other week to keep them nice and stocked up in the soil and maybe throw down some more castings if need be, but I doubt we'll be needing any more compost for this run. Well thanks for checking on us and we'll see you next week, God willing.

Here we are wrapping up another week and things are going great from the looks of things. I gave her a nice top dressing of Gaia Green insect frass and watered her with some homemade watermelon FPE and seabird guano for a nice bloom booster. We'll be adding that every week. I also gave her some LABS as usual going with my routine of JADAM solution on other week then LABS on the other inoculation week. I don't water with microbes every week because that would just be unnecessary, its every other week switching between the 2 teks. So yeah, just basically trying to stay on top of watering is the main thing right now....she's drinking over a gallon a day about so its a handful at the moment to say the least but as long as I keep the soil moist I'm in the clear. Thanks for stopping by.

Here we are wrapping up week 4 of flower and the end of the big stretch/transition. We are now in full bloom ladies and gentlemen and I couldn't be happier with what I'm seeing in this raised bed. These girls are just astonishing. Really stacking on the flower, it's so hard to believe it's only day 28. My cross is just putting out like a true cultivar. The terpines coming out of this tent are the most unique. Grape soda mixed with chemy citrus! It's nuts. I gave the bed a top dress of pride lands bloom feed and bokashi and I also set up a blumat watering system so I'm just getting that dialed in this week but we're looking great. I'm happy and the plants are happy. That's all that matters growmies! We'll see ya next week when these girls are even heavier!!!

Welcome back to week 5 of flower for the No-till 3x3. Boy are things starting to bulk up in this tent! She's definitely starting to smell too! Amazing Grape soda pheno and Grape Gas, mixed with Heavy chem and citrus from my cross....damn these girls are really showing out this grow. Raised bed with living soil is definitely the way to go if you have the space and time to set it up. Highly recommend. Anyways I gave the ladies their last top dress of pride lands bloom feed and watered them some JADAM microbial solution last week. That's going to be as far as nutrients for this run and all I'll have to do is just replenish her microbes until harvest 😉. Then I'll re amend the bed with Craft blend before my next run and some more Bokashi. All in all at this point in the grow we're just going to watch and see if all my hard work paid off basically. Not much else to do but water and watch the spectacular flowers bloom! Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya next week with some heavier flowers!

Week 6 in the can ladies and gentlemen. The girls are fattening up real nice and the terpines are flowing out the tent and all through the house...it's a beautiful thing when your hard work pays off. The buds are starting to swell up in these two weeks so we gave her another half cup of Pride Lands to stay on top everything and a root drench of lactic acid bacteria for the microbes. I've also been giving her homemade ferments that have been really adding to the terpines. Highly recommend KNF. I go back and forth between a AFF apple FPJ and a watermelon FPE which the ladies love. Between that and the LABS and JMS, you can't go wrong with a good strong rhizosphere. Just look at the results and tell me I'm wrong? We're not even seeing a lick of senescence yet! Well thanks for stopping by and we'll see in week 7 with some heavier flowers, dripping in terpines!

Wow...that's basically what's on my mind every day I see these ladies. They just keep getting better and better as the days go by. I'm so impressed with all of them. I love the phenos from the grape balls of fire. One is straight grape soda and the other, the squatty one, is super caky and gassy. Also, my cross is starting to really swell up up too and get kinda top heavy. She's popping bracts like crazy. She's also starting to turn purple, at least her flowers up top are so I'm assuming the rest of her buds will in these coming weeks! She's going to look so bad ass. All of them will I'm sure. For this week I'll probably put down some Gaia Green insect Frass and that's it for these girls. They did very well. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya next week.

So here we are ladies and gentlemen...at the end of another week. Week 8 that is. We're winding down to the end of another successful indoor grow! This one was definitely one for the books in my opinion (not over yet!). These girls are so beautiful and stacked with flowers. The terpines coming from these ladies is off the charts! Grape soda, gas and skunky citrus! It's insane and I love it 😂. Can't wait for next week when these girls get the chop. The clone will most likely get chopped down in the next day or so as well as the shorter Pheno of the grape balls. They are both almost perfect as far as how I prefer my smoke(30% amber). The taller Pheno of grape balls will most likely need the full 9 weeks if not longer. Idk though, she's also right there on the cusp so to speak. Last week I threw down some Gaia insect Frass and some more Bokashi as well as gave them a good helping of LAB, but that's it for this run. These girls are good. No fade what do ever! That's incredible with these raised beds isn't it? So yeah, thanks for watching these girls grow with me and we'll see ya next week with some harvest and what not 😉.

What a ride! It was great getting to grow out my new cross and a couple of her clones to see what she was worth so to speak....and damn is she worth it. I'm very impressed with this lady right here and am continuing her lineage with a new cross and some s1's I was successful with creating. This grow was great from start to finish and as soon as they hit the big living bed, they just flourished! The terpines are incredible, the yield is great.. I'm a happy grower. Thanks for watching these girls grow with me!

GBOF kicked ass man! Not the heaviest strain but it's all about the terps for this cultivar 😉. Watching them each grow and express different characteristics was just awesome! The raised bed really made these girl shine, that's for sure. Plants just age in a completely different manner than in the smaller containers. The organic nutrients and vermicompost, added with the KNF inputs is what I believe gave these girls this unbelievable terpine profiles I'm smelling. I can't wait to smoke these girls and I also can't wait to plant in this bed again! Thanks everyone who watched these beauties grow with me.
