Germination
a year ago
Hello WORLD! This is our Scientific Winter Grow 2023 - Environmental conditions still being tested before we germinate next week! Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer. After Germination from cup of water and into ez-cloner for first stages of superior growth and total control - Will include the following: Gavita Plasma 270 LEP/SUP x 2 - (600 watts; more blue than the LEP/Grow model ;-)~ Migro UVB 310 NM - T5 Fluro 22Watt x 2 - (44 watts of UVB 75%; UVA 25% - is my IPM protocol ;-)) So total plasma power 600 watts of pure BLUE! In addition I'll have total dosing control of 5 total Migro UVB lamps @ 22 watts a piece for 0ver 100 watts of UVB & UVA. ****** STATUS UPDATE 10/04/2023 ********** Seeds are in VOSS Sparkling Water - with a natural PH 6 ;-)~ ------- now we just wait for the tails to show their pretty selves!! Then we will place them into the EZ-Cloner with propagating collars ;-) this is for rapid root development and hardiness for later transplant into 3 gal rain science fine mesh commercial grow bags with zipper covers- white for thermal load. ***************************************************************************************************************************** UPDATE 10/06/2023 @ 10:00pm ***************************************************************************************************************************** All seeds have germinated and have been placed into the EZ Cloner with the following amendments: 1.) VOSS Sparkling Water ( 13 bottles ) PH 6.0 2.) Mycos WP 3.) Azos 4.) Fish Sh!t 5.) Roots Excelurator Gold 6.) Clear Rez 7.) Terpinator 8.) Liquid Karma 9.) Mammoth P All the above were in fractional amounts just to give it the most optimum environmental conditions possible. Water Temp 70 degrees approximately. PH is perfect ;-) 5.8 Updated pictures above enjoy and stay tuned everybody! Stay High n Dry! ;-) ***************************************************************************************************************************** UPDATE 10/13/2023 @ 5:30pm CST ***************************************************************************************************************************** STATUS UPDATE Last Week of Germination~ Tomorrow will be the first day of VEG! The ELEV8 Gorilla Cookies were all culled due to slow growth ; DJ Shorts Blueberry's - otherwise we should have 3 of 5 Blueberry's that made it - the loss of the Gorilla Cookies and Blueberries was my own fault due to not being fully prepared with environmental conditions - we're back on track now obviously! ;-) Our idea is to keep them in the ez-cloner for another 2 weeks to establish a solid root mass and then transplant into 3 gal rain science bags! Stay Tuned!

10/16/23 - Day 1 of VEG and the babies are doing very well now that they have sprouted and started mapping out their environment ;-) The DJ Short Original Blueberry F5 is very healthy and shows to be extremely vigorous thus far with heavy rooting. Friday (10/20/23) during their feedstock/tea change-out I'll snap pictures of the root mass so you can see how explosive and bright white they are ;-) Grab a seat the movie is just getting started - enjoy the show - it's about to get LOUD!! ;-)~ UPDATE --------->10/18/23---------10:41 P.M. CST------------------------------------------------------------- Reference the new pic for 2nd day of VEG WK1 - look at the leaf surface - this is unreal and exactly what I was looking for! GEMS ;-) DJ Shorts Original Blueberry F5 (circa 1978) - this is gonna be off the charts!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE----------->10/19/23---------10:58 P.M.

End of Week 2 (14 days from seed) - I took the 3 DJ Shorts Original Blueberry out of the EZ-CLONER and transplanted them into 3 gallon rain science grow bags with the following substrate: Cloud Coir 50% coco / 50% perlite Wakefield Biochar Compost + Myco Wiggle Worm earth worm castings Chitin Myco/Azos Top Dress organic cover crop seeded organic Pacific Northwest straw This is no till, vermiculture, permaculture, true living soil - the next amendment will be LIVE red wiggler earthworms planted into each 3 gallon rain science bag! LIVING ORGANISMS - Nothing but love! I'll never have to make my grow bag media ever again - just recharge it every grow! ;-) work smart not hard! The show is starting to get very very NICE! P.S. ------> I have added 5 Truffle Cake (Gorilla Budder F2 x Peanut Butter Breathe and 4 Grand Daddy Purple (Ken's cut) ---> see pics above ;-) --------------Update - 11/3/23 ----------------------------------------------- Blueberries after her first real meal - she just got GREEN!! Wow-------- :-)~ This is some serious chlorophyll production ladies and gentlemen. As an aside I'm implementing a HSLGOVE 7-in-1 Soil pH Meter, Soil Tester of Moisture/Light/Fertility/PH/Soil Temp/Room Thermometer so I can place in each grow bag to see each and every plant's environmental variables. The next big update will be on 11/07/23 - after the first day of WK3 ;-) (or roughly 21 days from seed for those keeping track). Stay Tuned!

It's start of WK#3 end of WK#2 (21 days from seed) I'm very impressed with these old school genetics. As you can visually see in the pictures they are looking happy and healthy with said environment and lighting. HOWEVER -----------------> We spoke with Thomas the owner of GML about the GrandMaster Tarantula Borg @ 1500 watts ;-)~ and we ORDERED one and it's on the way! In addition, we decided to move from the cellar to above ground Gorilla Grow Tent 4x8 for easier access and more room ;-). Stay tuned as we move through to next week and hopefully we will have our next update with our new Top Light!! Our configuration will be as follows: Migrow UV | Migrow UV | Solacure UV | Solacure UV | Migrow UV | Migrow UV <------ top lighting above main top light led & gavita plasma :-)~ GrandMaster Tarantula Borg | Gavita Plasma LEP SUP <------primary lighting for canopy Let's GO!!!!!!! Otherwise - we do have 5 Truffle Cake (In-house genetics) & 4 Grand Daddy Purple (Ken's Cut) - updates coming later in the week - stay tuned & always JahBless to all!

Week 4 is upon us and I must say the girls are doing very well in their home 🏡 👏. This is mid-week update day 30 from seed 😀, I love it! ❤️ Tomorrow is the grand reveal of the new Grand Master Tarantula Borg LED top light and our new plant 🌳 additions that have transitioned nicely are as follows: Truffle Cake 🎂 by In-House Genetics and Grand Daddy Purple (Ken's cut ✂️). Stay tuned as I'll have updates tomorrow of all the ladies in their homes with the new light 🏡 😉. JahBless & Happy Holidaze 😊 to all! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 11/19/2023 7:25pm cst - Added photos of the new top light (Grand Master Tarantula Borg) it's incredible with the latest samsung diodes from 437nm, 450, 660nm Red V3 chip, and 730 IR - plus I have a Gavita Plasma LEP SUP and 2 Solacure UV A/B & 2 Migro UV A/B - this has all the photons necessary to actively crop steer now I just need to get it all dialed in! This is going to be fun no doubt it looks like a rainbow when I turn on all the lights - the light is so pretty and clean it's unreal to see where technology has taken us over the past 10 years! From street lamps to real horticulture lighting! I hope everyone has an opportunity to get one and try it for yourselves! The price will come down but technology will replace it in a year........fun times ahead! #Blessed

UPDATE!! Happy Holidaze hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving - time for Christmas next let's go! WK5 is closing down as were at the end of WK5 of VEG and everything is looking squared away for our DJ Shorts Original Blueberry F5; I put the #3 Blueberry in our flower room and she is finishing up her first week of flower! I'm going to make 2 mother plants out of the 2 Blueberries and transfer them from a 3 gallon rain science grow bag to a 30 GALLON True Living Soil Rain Science Grow Bag!!!! This should be pretty epic! Lastly, I'll take pics of the flower room with the Truffle Cake, Grand Daddy Purple, and the Blueberry tester! ;-)~ Stay tuned as we move forward! The smell is off the charts already....... this should be very nice!

WK 3 is coming to a close and all is well! The calyx development/oil resin is in full production. The DJ Shorts Original Blueberry is 1 week behind roughly. This is where the excitement builds as we get near harvest time ! I'll have surprises come harvest time for the dry/cure/storage 😤 Stay HigH, stay DrY, always elevated never replicated 🙌✨️🙏 Happy Holidaze to all 🎅 !

Status Update: Happy Holidaze to all! WK 4 coming to a close with the above-mentioned genetics. The DJ Shorts Original Blueberry F5 (WK3) is 1 WK behind the GDP (Grand Daddy Purple) and the Truffle Cake which just finished up WK4. All is well other than the buds are getting so dense they need support due to them being clones and no training - I let them grow wild so to speak. (R&D) The DJ Short Blueberry is doing excellent due to it being from seed and not a clone like the GDP / Truffle Cake. ******** New lighting to add in-line will be here next week - I'm going to add coral lighting - the most advanced lighting for coral in the world = (Atlantic iCon x 2 - (full spectrum with glass lensing) - under the GML Tarantula Borg. It has 18,000k, 390nm, 405nm, 410nm, 415nm, 430nm, 447nm, 450nm, 460nm, 470nm, 490nm, 600nm, & 740nm. 6 independent channels fully dimmable from 0.1 percent! 300 watts a piece and put out roughly 1000 PPFD at 14 inches! Beast Mode! I will add 2 of them since they are 2ft long by 9"inches roughly & the Borg is 4 ft so I'll place 2 of the icons back to back. ;-) Plus in Jan/2024 - a new add on light that uses exclusive UV diodes that was patented by Grand Master Led's will be requisitioned and added for the next run! A Cannatrol cool cure device will be used to DRY the current crop and custom GROVE bags being designed by GROVE for the cure ;-)~ Stay Tuned!
