Week 1 - Soaked seeds in a glass of water for 24 hrs and then into the soil. Vegging in a 2x3 tent under ViparSpectra 1500XS set to 40% and around ~18in hanging height. Post pics soon.
Day 10 of Veg..Permanent Marker phenos are a little behind the Gary crosses, but overall good growth. Going to transplant to 1 gallon pots, top them, and switch to 18/6 light schedule next week..ppfd at ~300..
Happy new year everyone!
Transplant : Day 18 since sprout
Currently: day 21 since sprout
Medium: FoxFarm 🦊 Happy Frog 🐸 with perlite and earthworm castings
Pot : 1 gallon
Light: 55% raised to 18inches
Ppfd: ~350
Two permanent markers are up front and look identical. Will top this week. Plan to veg for ~30 more days or at least until my 4x4 tent is done flowering lol. Happy growing
Day 28 since sprout
Top🔝 : Day 25 since sprout
💡: 60% at 18 inches
Ppfd : ~450-500
Two permanent markers up front. Gary crosses in the back. Pretty boring stage of the plant. Probably let them recover for another week then top again. It’s day 36 in my flower tent so these gals have about 4 more weeks of veg left. Happy growing
The gals outgrew their one gallon pots and needed transplanted. I usually go with 3 gallon fabric pots for their final destination but this time decided to try and go with 5 gallon. I didn’t, however, realize that five 5-gallon pots wasn’t going to fit in my 2x2 so I had to re setup my 2x3 and you can see they barely fit lol. Temps are colder this week because I also have my flower/dry tent in the same room and I need the temps cooler so likely won’t see as explosive growth as I was expecting. Overall, they are going great so far and looking to top one more time, bush them out real good and then move to my 4x4 to flower in about 3-4 weeks. Happy growing.
Removed all the fan leaves on the main stem to expose the lower flower sites
Temp: 71F
Humidity: 65%
Light: 80% @ 24 inches (~400ppfd)
Ladies really loving their environment, hitting that explosive growth stage. They may have to VEG for another three weeks because my flower tent is going to take a bit longer than expected which could pose some problems with space. Will probably just top once again to give them that flat table top look. Pretty happy about this run
Temp : 72F
Humidity : 70%
💡: 80% @ 20 inches (-450-500ppfd)
Watering : Watered ~3L per plant when I transplanted and haven’t watered since
Nutrients : None, just tap water
Pretty vigorous growth this week not much has changed. Plants are really starting to bush out and we have a nice little canopy going. Probably will skirt the plants next week. Happy growing.
Day 47
💡: 85% @ 18 inches (~500 Ppfd)
Temp: 72 day, 63 night
Humidity: 70%
Gave the gals their first watering in about 10 days, just plain tap water til saturation.
Not much to report this week, would’ve loved to move these plants into my flower tent but we are still waiting a couple more days for it to finish up.
💡: 85% @ 18 inches
🌡️: 72F day, 64F night
💧: 65%
Soil mix: 5gallon pot (50% Ocean Forest, 50% Happy Frog with 1/3 added perlite)
Top dressed this week with Down To Earth 4-4-4, Earthworm castings, and Azomite. Azomite is a volcanic rock dust that contains a host of trace minerals and nutrients, most importantly for me is silica.
Flower tent is Stay Puft by Compound Genetics on day 63 of flower
It’s finally that time ladies and gents. We harvested and cleaned out the 4x4 so the ladies are now in their new home under the FC- 65hunnit. We skirted them up and defoliated. Pulling out the trellis net now to open these baby’s up a lil more and fill out the entire canopy. Gonna let the ladies adjust for a few days and fill out more before we flip to flower
Little preview of my next run…normally don’t grow in summer because this LA heat is too hard to keep under control in the tent, but we managed to score an early release pack of Blueberry Gary from Exotic Genetix and we have Z Animal back cross from Seed Junky, exciting times ahead.
Day 12 since flip. Not too much to report, we’re going thru the early flower stretch. Plants are enjoying the environment and are perked up. During this time we slowly ramp the lights up about 1-2% each day until we get to about 80%, that’s usually the max I can run this light in a 4x4. Slowly ramping up the light can avoid the stress caused by blasting your plants all at once. I’ve seen too many stress herms in early flower caused by too intense light. We will also begin to lower humidity by about 3% each week to increase VPD as the plants begin a higher rate of transpiration. We will also do a final clean up of the lower skirts again probably around day 21 (after they have finished their stretch) to ensure energy is directed towards top colas, and to ensure no funny business (herms) are going on underneath which is always a possibility with feminized seeds

Just plain tap water until medium is saturated. Currently each lady gets about one gallon of water every 4 days.
Day 19 since flip, not much to report. Top dress today of 4-8-4 rose and flower mix from down to earth with a little worm castings. Almost done with stretch. Back two are Gary Poppins (Gary Payton x Red Runtz). One on the left is stretching to the moon, definitely a Gary leaner, and the one on the right turned out to be the smallest plant of the five, definitely a Runtz leaner. Plain ph’d tap water and that’s it

Hey all sorry for the late update. Got really busy with work and just wasnt uploading. I had to cull phat Gary cause she was a genetic herm, I’m talking pollen sacks all the way up the main stem. I’ve seen a few stress sacks here and there on the lowers but nothing like this. I added a video of it so you might know what to look out for.
It’s my first experience with exotic genetix and while I have heard of them having herm issues before, I have never had anything quite like phat Gary. But, on the other hand, this Gary Poppins #2 is the best smelling plant I’ve ever had. She smells like a straight strawberry soda, just this very fizzy strawberry scent. It’s unreal. Gary Poppins #1 has a similar terp profile, but not as loud and she’s frosty as ever. Both the perm marker s1’s are identical. Both look exactly like the perm marker flower I’ve bought from seed junky in the past. Very lime green buds with light oranges hairs. Smells just like a permanent marker.
Couldn’t be happier with how this run is going, well except Phat Gary. Still haven’t decided on Exotic Genetix yet. I guess we will wait and see how Blueberry Gary comes out, she’s currently in week 6 veg. Shout out to the mad scientist Jbeezy though, this perm marker is unreal. When I saw he was releasing s1’s I couldn’t believe it. Gonna wash this entire run for some fresh frozen. I would absolutely love to get this Gary Poppins #2 smell to transfer to some live rosin. Will update this when we finish and I’ll make a diary for blueberry Gary and Gastro pop from compound genetics when I get a chance. Until then, happy growing all
