Good afternoon, Mr. G The Keeper here. Great start so far. All but one poppped after 48hrs. Started with paper towels soaked in spring water, left in sandwich bags. I'm using dampened Light Warrior seed starter in solo cups for the first 2 weeks then I'll transplant them into 5 gallon cloth pots. 24hr light for now, Metrop starting next week. Check back in a couple of weeks to see how these ladies are vibing. Until then, stay solid.

Overall great week, all the ladies have done great they'll be transplanted into their final homes in a few days. Still on with the root+, aminoxtreme, and calgreen. They're getting taller wider and greener...Let's go!

Transplant done! Tiniest bit of shock for them all as I added fertilizer too quick. One did get burned a bit after watering/feeding so I opted out of using any fertilizer until end of week 2 start of 3 for any of them. They'll recover in a week, give or take. Let's get it!

Sept 19- added more Calgreen and Amino Extreme to water mixture. Watering today 13oz each, may need more. New leaves and nodes are starting to come in Sept 20- stretching, still a bit of downward drooping on fan leaves, *need more water per watering trying13oz to 20oz on the 24th. Soil drains quickly and ladies are more thirsty. More leaves otw Sept 21- leaves filling out, some blue and red color on VZ stems and leaves. Green getting deepe, I hope that's the pheno and not an issue.

So, after watering last week til pots were heavy, this happened on the third day following. I did get the marshydro TSL2000 so i think I messed up on the dimmer setting rather than setting it at 25% I set it the same as the Marshydro TS1000, for veg, at 50% they are tired from that exposure and new heat. Same food regiment that's listed above, water ph is 6.8 before nutes, 6.3 after. Soil's at 6.25-6.35. Looks like magnesium and or zinc to me. Soil is still saturated 3inches below top, clip fans died jjjeeeezzzz (new ones today). Looks like the purple stems are phenotypic, though, I'll be increasing my metrop calgreen supplement by 2.5ml when things dry just to be safe and see. So it looks like a number of factors that changed over the last week and a half have cause some issue. Any suggestions folks? I need to troubleshoot with yall. ***irrigation issue and mag deficiency*** thank you experts!!!

I couldn't be happier but this stretch is going to push through my light lol. Scrog set up and weaved a few cola sites and tucked leaves like hell. Time for a bigger tent. It's really starting to smell like sweet/musty vanilla down here and they're hungrier and thirstier than ever. 50 more days give or take!!! Stay solid folks and thank yall for vibing with me 🙏🏼

Ok so I know they stretch during flower but these V. ZOAP's have been reeeeaaaacccchhhhiiiinnnngggggg. I mean I get it ladies but geez. Tent frfr smells like dirty laundry and cheese. They are filling out. Second scrog went up to mitigate those colas hitting the light. 5 more weeks to go. Will be adding Metrop's greenxtreme and Golden Gun Grease, a sulfur amendment, next week as it took longer to ship than anticipated. Stay solid folks, I'll catch yall next week 🙏🏼✊🏼

Suuuuper stinky and damn the bulk is popping rn. The color is beginning to change in the flower. Zoom in! I can’t wait for the end of this week they’re doing phenomenally. Last week I defol. Things got real iffy last week with how thick they all were and even though my rh is at 35 when their leaves touch they still catch and hold moisture. Bad news for bud-sites so snippity snip snip. All clear and ready for the final 4-5 week stretch. Will be adding 3.5ml of GreenXtreme by Metrop for the next few feeds before flush and Golden Gun by GREASE. Let’s get it folks and stay solid 🙏🏼✊🏼

Seriously the most deliciously stinky gas I’ve had the pleasure of growing. I’m getting Grape, Rose, gas, candy, cheese surrounded by musk…I must be dreaming. These ladies are getting serious and I can’t wait for the coming month!!!! Sorry for the under-light photos this go.

Pound cake flavor and vanilla frosting exhale! Decadence. Dumb heady with very full lung hits on the smallest pulls. They’re seriously bonkers and were super hardy cultivars the entire grow. Stretched like crazy flower week 2-4 and bulked like nobodies business. Until the end of week 7 flower. Will def be growing these again!

It’s been a great week. Cutting nutes in half to get ready for christmas. All of them need 2 liters every other day! It’s crazy how much they guzzle. Colors are showing thru nice hues of pink and medium tone purples. Pistols are starting to change and trichs are getting amber on sugar leaves and lower parts of bud sites. The aroma is phenomenal more intense of the same profiles from last week. 3 more weeks til chop! Let’s go!!! Stay solid folks.
