Jelly Donutz - Why not?

Showing some awesome growth on the 2 seedlings. One of the nuts seemed to be a mutant of some sorts One of the other seeds is a Tri-Leaf. I cannot help but think this is some sort of mutation as well and will need to be watched closely. We have another germination coming online now and it will be 9 days behind the original 2. Conditions are great and we have multiple straws on both buckets. PH was between 5.7 and 5.85 all week, warmest condition was 82 and lowest 69. Light is currently at 60% and running 20/4. Doing 1.3 tbsp/bucket for the week on the BigBloom. No concerns after 1 week of vegetation, beautiful start after 14 days.

Awesome start at 3 weeks in now, plants working on their 4th stage now, and will probably make the move to flowering in 2 weeks or less. Conditions are great, tent temp stays between 64-74 degrees with 35% humidity and the plants are thriving. PH is settling in around 5.7 and i upped the feeding to 3 tsp/bucket/week and will observe growth; TDS was right at 600 after feeding. Turned the light up from 60 to 75% power, time to make these babies grow. Got 7 days run time on plant 2, it has now dropped a straw and starting to take off, more on that baby next week.

Friday the 13th update as we hit 28 days for Tri-Flower and Lemon plants. 14 days now for Plant3 and it has many straws and picking up steam now. Will do one more week and lower light cycle to 18/6 before switching to Flowering stage. Keeping PH between 5.7 and 5.9 during these runs and seeing solid results as fluctuations settled down. Had to get back into the adjusting swing with the sensitivity involved. Do not want any repeats of the last run which saw bucket dumps, plant stress and ultimately lost 3 plants as hermies. Temps are being good, had to raise the low temps a few degrees to keep the plants perky; this strain seems to like temps up to 80s, Lastly, some huge white root balls are forming

Strain is going great, 35 days in for the 2 lead plants (Tr-Leaf and Lemon) and 21 days in for JR. Have ran a week now at 18/6 and now will shift to Flowering. The lead plants are ready to go with multiple tops now showing and i project JR will run a week or so behind the others showing. So lets start this machine, the feminized seeds should show true in the next 2 weeks. Plants are sucking up some water, about a quart/day with solid white root balls. I did start Hydroguard proactively and have been feeding twice/week now. No negative leaf signs and TDS is between 350-900. Will start some Tiger Bloom next week. PH has been steady, hanging around the lower end... 5.6-5.7 which i bring up slightly. JR is hanging around 6 and seems to be doing fine. Temps have not been to far from range, a couple cold dips into mid 50s caused some droop, but quickly adjusted. Water temps have been staying around or below 70... all good. Humidity stays between 25-35, which seems to be fine for this tent and strains I have tried. Next weeks update.... 7 days into flowering!

All going well, late getting the week post up. Nothing significant to report, maintaining environment, brought EC up to 1400 on the older plants, 900 on JR. This relates to feeding folks, the plants are drinking right under a quart/day each. More comments next week after 14 days of flowering.

Saw 4 inches of growth from Tri-Leaf as she positions her crowns to flower, Lemon is right behind her. Had to defoliate Lemon as it was so thick, the undergrowth tops were not able to push through the canopy. Underlying tops showed some weak growth and its starting to improve now. And good news is.... they are all 3 confirmed females!! PH has been drifting downward as expected, been aiming for 5.75 on adjustments and typically land close. Water temp has stayed under 70F with the exception of a day it peaked into the mid/low 70s as i was keeping the plants warm (cold front). Had to feed twice last week to keep EC levels in the 1300s for the older plants, 1000 for JR. Will shift them to Tiger Bloom now shooting for the same levels and just maintaining. Roots are nice and white, no signs of rot/smell and using Hydroguard once/week. Humidity got into the 50s and the plants looked bloated, and when it dropped back to normal 30ish, they bounced back nicely. Strong citrus smell, lots of foilage on this strain. Nice and green with no big signs of fertilizer burn. Undergrowth exploded on this strain early, so expecting 12 or so nice tops from each plant. No real concerns man, full speeed ahead...

Plants have eased nicely into flowering, all appear to be female with the younger JR (42 days) now showing early female qualities. Had to cut the top off Tri-Leaf this week to keep the hight down. Her crown was a good 6inches above everything else and it made sense to let all the crowns land around the same size, for light distance purposes. So she is now another Monster, with long stretches and many flower spots making for some interesting buds. Lemon is the traditional untopped plant, now starting to burst with under growth action, i admittedly love the plants in natural state. JR had a slightly disfiguring trunk but has rebounded nicely and should actually come up to size nicely finishing. PH levels have stabilized, they sway lower nightly, but its because they are currently drinking. Nothing concerning with lower levels observed at 5.5. Keeping the water balanced around 5.8 with a EC of 1300. Water Temps were level under 70 most the week with a single peak at 75. Tent humidity has been up with AC turned down/off and coming in mid 40s. Tent temps stay between 62 and 72 degrees. No real concerns, the flower sites are a little different then previous strains. The major stems have great tops, but undergrowth looks small to start. Great smell to the plants, will be excited to see how they take on volume now. Awesome week

Another solid week with visible daily performance. Plants are showing some yellowing and wilt on older growth, likely with the changeover to TigerBloom. 2 of the plants seem very stemmy with flowers as puff balls, which I am hoping to see expand and grow over the next 4 weeks. The one single untopped plant Lemon, seems to be growing normally and thicening now. No sign of rot or foul water, been very good keeping temps low this run. JR is the youngster here and we started flowering her at 21 days in. She is skinny but started showing flowers this week. Lemon is untopped and appears to be a normal plant that will have a massive cola surrounded by 3-4 large towers, ea at 1/2 oz top once dried. Tri-Leaf turned into a monster, with huge stems reaching to the light. Had to behad this one at the mail cola to slow down the upward growth and seemed to be successful by pushing back growtime an estimated week. No big changes this week, stable temps, PH, EB betweeen 1050 (b) and 1300 (a) with 2 feeds/week. The next couple of weeks should be exciting wth growth

Turning in another solid week of growth on all 3 plants. Flowering in full mode and have reached the final leg, with the older plants starting to yellow on bottom leaves while top leaves are showing some reddening consistent with the incoming purple. JR is a string bean, the buds continue to plump out and this plant looks similar to their example. With 3-Leaf looking similar, I would have to say this may be standard for this strain. Reaching 70-days on the 2 older plant with 35 days flowering.... strain lists 56 days as flower time, which leaves another 3 weeks. JR is 56-days now with 35 days flowering, much younger plant will easily make the next 3 weeks. Lemon is the prize plant here with a massive cola forming and several nice colas along with plenty of frosting and now hits of purp coming in, so exciting. Everything going as planned, topping water off daily, Keeping PH right around 5.8 and EC in the 1300s through the week, supplemental feeding as necessary. Letting temps dip low during dark hours to bring out the colors and will likely cease feeding after next week to prepare for harvest. Nearly showtime and the smell is simply wonderful... sweet citrus. Yield is going to be underwhelming, but the quality of the strain should make up for that.

Technically we are down to the last 14 days of flowering as this strain has Flowering time pegged at 56 days and it does look fairly accurate for Lemon and 3-Leaf. JR which has been flowering the same time, is only 1/2 as full as 3-Leaf, so clearly running behind as expected. JR is also now the tallest plant in the tent. Check out the purp on Lemon, she is turning into such a beautiful plant and will be a moderate yield, while both JR and 3-leaf are both on the low side No big surprises, PH dropping slightly overnight, tightening filling up every day. Had to add some heat over the weekend, just slightly but had a low 80s afternoon. Plants are thriving, even though 2 of the plants grew like giants and not showing purp and Lemon is more traditional looking with the main cola and surrounding tops. This almost looks like 2 different strains even though the smell is similar, they look totally different. Starting to make some predictions now.... 3-leaf last another 10-days, yielding right at an ounce dry. Lemon goes 20 days and yields 2 oz dry and JR goes 20 days and yields 1 oz. So the total will be 4 oz dry and we will be hang drying right before xmas. Next week we start looking at trichomes!!!

Sp we hare reached the 56 day flowering time for this strain. Without a question, 3 Leaf is ready to come down, however I am going to push them another week. This will give them a full 14-days running without adding nutes. A few amber trichomes on 3-leaf, which i am using as a guide, while everything else on the plants is mostly cloudy. Basically, I am pushing the other 2 plants another week at the expense of some slight potency launch on 3-leaf with the ambers. Nothing significant, but........ harvesting this week!! Plants done and continue to do well, nothing noticable. Normal daily ph dips, leveled at sunrise and they hold in good range throughout. Had to add some heat, which lowered the humidity, which is fine heading into Harvest. Just to add, Lemon is probably one of the most beautiful plants I have grown or personally seen. This plant stayed tight, whereas the other 2 were tall reaching with spacy bud spots. Lemon also showed purple, which i learned to bring out near harvest with cooler night cycles. Lastly, the frost is thick on these tops, more like Glazed Donuts but the hairs are just starting to turn now. Add the orange, purp, yellowing leaves with the white frosting,..... holy cow I cant wait to sample thie years xmas grow!

Its done, i choose to harvest a couple days early as the trichomes on 3-Leaf started ambering in mass, while the other 2 plants were just starting to show. So normal chop down at sunrise on Wednesday/ So here is the setup. I plucked about 80% of the suckers/foliage and left sugar leaf and flower. Stretched a line across the tent and have them all 3 hanging now. Went with a digital humidifier and added a heater. Charcoal fan in place to filter and no lights. Target is 50% on Humidity and keeping temps around 60f. Posting this 4 days in and the plant is slow drying so nicely, the few leaves left feel like paper at this point. Cracked open a flower and there still quite moist. Process should last another 3-6 days and will use the snap branch technique before jaring into jars with 48RH packets to cure, I dont like to do a wet weight as a teaser, only to dry up to 1/3.... kinda depressing, Should be able to post a closer dry weight on next update, still estimating a 3 oz take from the 2. Low yield run/strain.

And there you go, 10-days dried and packed for curing now. Dry weight was 4.75 dry and will lose a little more in curing. This is a solid 3 oz of trimmed flowers and close to 2 oz of smaller buds and sugar leaf cuttings.. *********************************** Update: So I smoked through the trimmed flower on 3-leaf over the last week. Not fully cured, definitely was on the harsh side and it got smoother as the week went on. About 20 days after harvest, it finally started smoothing out. Taste was green with notes of citrus, but also a rich fruity smell i just can't pin down. Potency seemed just fine, what I typically expect or experience with 18-20mg. Now the 10+ day cured tops are a different experience, sampling these are nice and smooth with a strong potent kick, est 24mg+ quality. Nice deep fruity taste, slight citrus aftertaste.... awesome smoke.
