We have created a new seedsman promo code for you all that is super easy to use. All you gotta do is type it in when you do your order and boom 10% off ANY order. The ladies are recovering from their root bound state & should be bounced back soon. The Lamb Chops are growing uninterrupted and turning into little monsters. Lets cross all our fingers they both end up being female! Next up will be some seedsman strains to replace the weaker performers from this round. End of this month will be the first new episode in the series. We are currently under production as we speak, Trying to put forward a much more professional end product for our web series. Subscribe now to our you tube to make sure to not miss it! New photos coming up shortly! JANUARY 9TH 2024 - Well the plant's finally have begun to grow again and come out of root boundness. This update is going to be covering the mistakes and lessons learned so far for anybody else looking to raise moms. So the original 6 plant's got moved out of their cups too late. The ragekiller was least affected by this, But right from the first transplant they where rootbound & I completely forgot to break up the rootzone during transplant. Secondly, Having little time with this MARS HYDRO LIGHT, I am used to the SPECTRUM KING's and having to use them from the roof of the tent due to their penetration. When we raised up the MARS HYDRO light, The plant's where seeing such a low amount of PAR & the plant top temp's where not at the place they needed to be. I really had to get the light a lot lower down on the plant's & the growth rate through some of the earlier to mid weeks have been much slower than they should have been. When I transplanted them out of the 1 gallons, They should have gone into a 3 gallon before all the way up to a 7 gallon bag and again, I forgot to break up the root zone. So once they got into these 7 gal's they really just kind of shut down growth. I made the choice instead of throwing them out and starting again, I was going to learn from my mistakes and correct this or at least try. So I removed each plant from their 7 gallon bag & meticulously broke apart the root zone of each plant then put them back into their bag, Gave them a watering with hydrogen peroxide to get rid of the dead roots and raised the light down closer to encourage more rapid growth and root development. Now we are at a point that they are finally breaking out of it and recovering and beginning to grow again. So for our clones, We are going to rely on the F.I.M technique to produce only tops for our clones. That way the uniformity will be much higher in our crops & the top's of plants are always the best clones. To this end, We are stripping away all lower growth and focusing on making the plant direct its energy into making us more top's. Right now each plant is working on making their set of 8, Then 16, and so on. This will require more time so in the mean time we are making multiple's of the rage killer tuna and if need be, We will run a large percentage of rage killer clones this crop. This strain is known to struggle to create a bushy plant so turning them into mom's will be a little more of a challenge but the genetics will be well worth it. This weekend, We will be taking clones from both lamb chops and sexxing them, Hopefully they both turn out to be female's they really look like they could be. They represent the perfect transplant timing 0 issues. They will be going into 3 gallon's next, Not 7's. As we embark on this journey of production these learning curves are all part of the process having never made mom's before, Or had to size up plant's into different pots. I hope sharing this with you all in a candid way helps anybody else having these issues ! Next week, We should see the ladies looking much better :) They are kind of naked now that we have stripped away all lower growth to begin production on the top's for cloning. JANUARY 11TH 2024 - Today the ladies look AMAZING. Their recovery strategy has worked and they are back now to growing vigorously. Utilizing the hydrogen peroxide first to clear away dead / infected roots, After taking the girls out of the planters and breaking up the root zones carefully and fully. Putting them back in, Letting them dry right out then beginning the recovery feed's listed above to help specifically with their needs. Utilizing REZIN for its molybdenum which is great at helping the plants intake nitrogen, It helps to utilize the nitrogen content from the amino acid's and improves the plants uptake when it needs it most. Everything in these feeds was used for a specific purpose & the results are now on display. This is what is possible, When you understand your feed and what your nutrients are all capable of, What role they can fill and when & how to mingle them for best results. UPDATE - JANUARY 13TH 2024 : @OriginalSensible So the plants are vegging along lovely, But one thing I have noticed is out of all of the plant's, The Stinkin Bishop is throwing pistils and staggering nodes. These plants have been on an uninterrupted light cycle, The VPD in the room has never been at a point where the plant's would stress SO much that they would kick into flower and NONE of the other plants are doing it, Not even the GORILLA SHERBERT FF from fastbuds or the STRAWBERRY COOKIES FF from Super Sativa Seedclub & those are 2 Fast flower strains that actually have autoflower genetics in them and they are vegging along just fine. I am curious could you have perhaps sent me the wrong seeds ? Otherwise there must be some unstable ruderelis genetics that have gotten into your photoperiod version of STINKIN BISHOP. Even if it reverts back to full on veg, Once we do this crop of it, It is unfortunately going to be the first of the original 6 mom's to get pulled out of the race and replaced with a @seedsman strain. A warning to anybody else looking into this strain. Unless we get a response on this & I got sent the wrong seeds somehow. I am also growing out your jungle lava for a mother & it is also vegging along just fine and not beginning to show flowering signs. Only the STINKIN BISHOP. Which sucks, I was hyped about this strain @OriginalSensible UPDATE - JANUARY 14TH 2024 : We have germinated a couple seeds to replace the Stinkin Bishop mother @ the end of this cycle. We have popped @Seedsman some Purple Ghost Candy from SEEDSMAN & A limited edition version of Rude Boi OG from SEEDSMAN aswell. So the plan is, If the Stinkin Bishop reverts and continues vegging, We will rip 1 cycle of clones off of it then it will be replaced. If it continues to flower out even though it is under 18/6, It will obviously be removed right away. @Seedsman Could we get some phenotype information on PURPLE GHOST CANDY & RUDEBOI OG ? How many different pheno types, Which ones are the best to look out for, That kind of thing. Thank you @Seedsman !
