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

Yooo I’m jealous of your permanent marker hahaha !!!! I have to run it and trying to get some seeds but hard where I am !! Happy germinating bro and have a good run !!!
@smokingskills, nah i defoliated all the fan leaves on the main stem so all the lower flower sights have direct access to light and i just keep topping until the lower flower sights are fairly even in height with the top, then trellis net to open them up a bit more in last week of veg/first weeks of flower.
@PersonalSmok3s, thanks growmie, i appreciate you following along...changed my mind at the last minute and popped GastroPop from Compound instead of the Z Animal so we'll have some more Compound coming along asap!
These are all looking cramped, but healthy lol 😸
I’d be interested to see your ‘Stay Puft’ pheno’s once they’re finished, I’m running some Exotic2 by Compound Genetics and I’m eager to get hold of some of their other strains
@PersonalSmok3s, i usually only grow compound. Apples N Bananas, Pave, and The Menthol vol. 1 & 2 lines are all fire. I would stay away from the Gastropop line. I, along with other growers had trouble with those crosses (germ issues, weird mutations etc.). Havent heard much about La Bomba line, although I do have 1 La Neta (Gary Payton x La Bomba) right next to the Stay Puft's and it smells like an electric citrus starburst, absolutely unreal.
If you like Compound gear, I suggest checking out Wyeast Farms. He was the original breeder for compound genetics and a lot of the stuff they put out is based on his work.
By day 19 of flip i already have bulby pistil topped bud formations. It's revealed in 1 of my diaries how i achieve that, or you can DM me and i'll share with you what i do to achieve that.
Really unfortunate she hermed 😿
From experience, if she’s as aromatic as you’ve described, it’ll definitely carry through to the fresh frozen!!
The Rosin I’ve made from my Exotic2 is legit like straight up strawberry syrup, it’s unreal.
