S07: Non-collab strains

Okay guys, so here the deal. A few things happened over the last week. First, I was using the Connoisseur line of Advanced Nutrients and something felt not right (not stating that it's the nutrients fault). Second, it turned out that my air stones in the hydro setup gave up on me and made my plants drown over the whole period. I didn't know what was up with them, but the moment I bought and placed new quality air stones into the reservoirs, all the deficiencies went away in a matter of 24h which was ridiculous because I've never seen this kind of jump in vigor. I was using the BoomBoom spray from Bio Tabs over the whole period multiple times a day and i strongly believe that this made my plants survive. I'm also using my trusted Co2 bags because they made some huuuuuge leaves before. I topped all plants in hydro and we're off to a new chapter in their life. I'm going to wait a week or two with the idea of topping them several times because I love to top plants, regulars or automatic ones, I don't care and it never was problem for the folks out there that don't top their automatic plants :) Everything is working great! I've exchanged the whole reservoir with the whole Xpert Nutrients line of products because they just came in. So thanks again Xpert Nutrients for this whooping package of bad ass products! I'll use them wisely ;) Now, let's cross our fingers for a quick recovery (which normally lasts 24-48h in hydro instead of a week) so I can top'em again. See ya! PS: I don't know what I'm about to do with the Wedding Cheesecake that just sprouted because it's so small and it supposed to go into the hydro setup as soon as I transplant the regulars into the flowering room in a week, but then again, the only automatic plant, namely the Purple Lemonade which is also fricking vigorous in the hydro setup is so big already, I'll need to change nutrients to bloom, but damn, I'd love to use the hydro space for at least one more plant... well, let's see what happens.

Sup guys! What a great weeeeeeek we have behind us :D I made some great adjustments to the flowering room before firing it up (just check out the first few photos from the crowdy before and after). I've sterilized the whole room and got me some great new fans, a CO2 bag, I got rid of the old ass filter because I figured that I don't need one anyway, I added a new pump to power great new water stones that will bubble up the water in both reservoirs like a motherfucker (after the old ones almost failed me and made my plants drown) and I adjusted power cords so they're easier accessable. I also connected the veg room to the flowering room with a pipe and a special fan that extracts the air from one room into the other which from there is pumped out by the heavy duty turbine. It all works perfectly and I'm very happy how much better everything is set up now :D So, I've also transplanted the photoperiodic plants and topped them again, defoliated where defoliation was needed and have put these bendy clips on'em branches (they are so bad and often cut into the branches, I might design a product by myself to make my work with plants a lot easier). I also rolled, bent and pinched the main stem on all plants to make them work harder since they're in hydro :D I spray'em with the Boom Boom spray daily and finally switched to the whole flowering product range from Xpert Nutrients. Can't wait to see how good these nutrients are! So here it is. I'm super happy to be able to work with plants in a perfectly cut environment to my liking :) Aaah, btw. I'll buy new scrog nets for the veg and flowering room because the old one gave up on me and it's time for new ones. So that's gonna be a neccesary upgrade for this coming week. Have a great one and see you next time! XOXO Cremo

Okay guys, check this out! I've transplanted all the photoperiodic plants in hydro into the flowering room last week and left the Purple Lemonade in hydro in the veg room alone. And this thing exploded! It's doubled in size in comparison to all the other plants with whooping 56cm tall after several toppings! What the heck? crazy vigorous genetics with great fertilizers from Xpert Nutrients! Great job guys! I've also used a lot of wire to mainline most of the plants because I ran out of my LST benders. Need to produce more because they work great and I'm not a fan of wiring branches because the swell up so fast. Let's see what brings us next week. If everything goes by plan, than I'll have a shitload of work to do next week when I'll perform last heavy defoliation between the second and third week of flowering. BTW still no preflower at the end of second week (the autoflower purple lemonade excluded). See you guys next time! XOXO Cremo

Alright guys, here's a small update on all the non collaborative strains this season. I've selected a bunch of frickin great genetics and they all start to finally preflower! I did a heavy defoliation on all of them and manipulated branches with wires over the last week so they would be prepared for the scrog net next week. All seems great, no deficiencies nor stress. All the plants are vigorous and bounced back just after 24h after heavy lifting (aka LST and HST training). I've removed all wires from these plants and they seem to stay vertical. I'll start shooting photographs of these beauties in the coming weeks when flowering is in full motion! See you next time! XOXO Cremo

Hi guys and welcome to the photoperiodic non collabs of this season! The whole flowering room is doing great after last weeks heavy defoliation. It was needed and seeing my plants happy and bud (un)covered, I know that was the right decision to make. And another smaller defoliation a few days ago. I think that from this point I'll only need to defoliate to uncover buds and try to leave the leaf ratio on this level. Most plants have fluffy bud sites, but I can see plants that will be on the longer flowering side already. But it's all good by my book, I'll happily wait for a stunning plant while others will finish the heavy lifting a bit earlier. I've also put over a scrog net to keep the branches separated. Some of the plants already started producing trichomes which is great to see. Hopefully all the others will start producing them because I want my flowering room to fill out with great terpene profiles asap! :D Okay, that's it for now. See you guys next time! XOXO Cremo

Hi guys! I love to update the rest of the pack because it's a very unique selection of genetics I ran this season. Buttercream Gelato, god damn I love the leaf structure! They almost look mutated, and people that know me, know that I love me some mutants ;) I'm also finally seeing which plants are longer flowering and which are shorter and it seems that I it would be beneficial to switch places in the right reservoir because Tropical Tangie is probably gonna be the first one that I'll chop down from that bunch. But there are still a few weeks left and the majority of my work here is done anyways so I also might leave them as they are (for now). I'd love to be able to take 'em out of the grow room for a shoot but they'll need to wait until the final day :P So see you next week! XOXO Cremo

Hi guys, So here's a small update on the rest of the strains. I love it how these strains show no signs of any deficiencies nor stress. They just grow at a constant speed. Buds are starting to fatten up, but the stretch is done already. From now on, it's just a waiting time with a slight defoliation here and there. I just defoliate to uncover budsites, nowhere else. I had great success with this technique on other plants even buds that supposed to be of popcorn size, are getting enough light to grow into bigger buds. See you next time! XOXO Cremo

This is it! Welcome to the harvest report of the Buttercream Gelato. Soo, this grow season has been a breeze! Everything went pretty smooth. Buttercream Gelato was the first photoperiodic plant in the flowering room that started to develop actual buds. But it also looked like it needed more flowering time so I harvested her a few days later. The training sessions went smooth and it resulted in a quite nice yield of 75g of dry goodness. She;s also very photogenic and I was fortunate enough to capture her beauty :) Just sit back, relax, spark up a joint or your favorite bowl and take a look at this beauty! See ya!

Hi guys and welcome to the harvest report of the Strawberry Cookies. If I was to give an award for the most photogenic plant this season, I'd give this award to Strawberry Cookies looking at these photographs! God damn, she's stunning! Super Sativa Seed Club has made a true gem of genetics and it definitely has my seal of approval! The whole grow went like a breeze, I strongly believe, due to the fantastic range of products from Xpert Nutrients, but also fine genetics from SSSC. I had no issues with her at all, I loved training her and she made it to the finish line like a true champ! Or even Champ-Champ as CMcG would say :P I;m in the curing process right now and she starts to smell like strawberries with hints of cookies. Please enjoy the photographs of this fine plant :) XOXO Cremo

Hi guys and welcome to the smelliest harvest review of this season! Holy smokes, this is a smelly one! It's the first time that I've grown a "cheese strain" and this is a heavy one! The smell after 2 weeks of curing is absolutely something new for me and my nostrils! The whole grow went without a hiccup and despite the fact that she was in the middle of a crowdy reservoir, the plant delivered 83g of solid nugs :) It's also this kind of strain that will make you work out with ease. Please enjoy these photographs of a truly special strain! Also a big shout out to Xpert Nutrients for hooking me up with their great line of nutrients! They delivered like crazy! XOXO Cremo
