Vanilla Velvet pheno hunt

First week done. Plans are 30 day veg and minimal training. Doing a pheno hunt run so it seems like the best thing to do so far. Pretty simple process for me. Just spray every day for 4-5 days every day no cover needed. If any get crusty I’ll do a nighttime spray on the seedling itself. Then just water with 1/4-1/2 of normal veg watering. Pretty much autopilot since then might spray day 9 or 10. Thanks for checking in! Appreciate the extra eyes on the grow!

So kinda decided to just keep All 10. Just to do a “full” pheno hunt. So far nothing’s been hard. I had a feeling I’d made my soil too hot but that’s all leaving my mind day by day. I have another couple of weeks of veg. Then flipping at 30 days. No training no nothing looking at structure mostly and then flavor, frost, and hopefully some vigor. Not expecting a lot for S1 beans but I could get lucky 🤞 might use this as a male/female in a breeding project in the 6 months-year so if that’s something you’d be interested in leave a comment or like. Help me figure out what to keep. Thanks for dropping by!

So just hit 21 days from sprout and growth is a little slow. Not really sure what to do about that. Also so far the growth is all over the place. The smallest is about half the size of the biggest. Gonna finally do a little defol soon. An just let ‘em do their thing. top dress in a few days. Other that that we’re on cruise control

Decided to take veg out to 5 weeks for easier diaries and also to give these girls time to actually grow out. Super stocky genetics but the stem rubs and fuzzy stems are on anther level. I’ll take a pic next week of the fuzziest. Trying a different veg technique, higher temps and humidity. I’m maxing put the vpd rn and just hoping nothing goes wrong, so donmt jinx me. Figured I’d have more issues but these are some strong genes no doubt about it. Maybe this grow can change my mind on the opinions I’ve heard about copy so far. Anyway thanks for stopping by!

Flipping tonight! Took off on of the top leaves for more light last week. The look a little think but the lower branches are loving it. Getting some phytoxicity from my ipm. They were fed about 4-5 days ago. So I’m just gonna send it. Be on the rollout for some FROSTY I have a feeling from the veg that this harvest is gonna be a tasty one. Some are even giving off some sour notes. Not I’m guessing the the reason these were on sale is the amount of phenos you can get from s1 I see a solid at least 4 different main phenotypes. They’re short and tall and the. Bushy or “lanky” with just one branch and no branching. All of them fall into 2 of the 4 categories. Tallest plant is medium height but that’s still a lot of variation considering the shortest is still standing at about 8”. I can’t complain though I paid 10$ a seed. Even if this turns out mediocre I’m satisfied. But I have a good feeling about these

Gonna do a defol tonight the first of flower but wanted the pic to look fuller and not sickly. The food I gave them should be kicking in soon so I’m hoping some of the signs of phosphorus deficiency will go away. It barely anything but I can see it wanting to start. They seem like they’re comfortable but I’m doing a dry back because all except a couple of them is still pretty heavy.

So the little problems the problems were having seem to have been fixed. The clawing is gone from the newer growth and the spots have gone away(for the most part. Some got a little worse when I did my dry back but not enough to worry about. I’m confident it’s just a little lack of water. There’s some tip burn developing on a few, think I fed a bit to much on my top dress. Everything’s going well though, I’m managing the light distance but they seem to really stress out any anything closer than like 2.5’. And they’re handling all the stress I gave em really well. I think the 11-13 light cycle is doing its magic because a few days ago I already started to get some bud sites going. Thanks for stopping by! Like this so I can see your grows pls!

Just a quick one today as they’re chugging along. It’s time for me to feed them for the last time now, just waterinight from here on out and some basic canopy maintenance. Every day I’m a little more excited to see how these finish out. After next week temp and humidity are both dropping a lot, and I have a feeling these are gonna fade out pretty hard. Looking forward to another beautiful flower tent.

Not a lot to add! After their last watering they were praying so hard I thought I f*cked up for a second. The organic nutes don’t smell like decomp farts. Now I don’t have to explain to everyone who comes around that there isn’t a dead fish scavenger hunt being hosted in my house.

They’re fattening up a lot now, they all drink really slow but they’re still packing on and look happy. It feels like I’m gonna kill them because I’m only watering about once a week. Humidity is getting to be a problem. Getting a dehumidifier soon, if you have any recs lmk I’m still kinda lost. Too many options and I’m not sure any of them even work. I’m getting the first few whiffs here and there, smell’s starting and everything looks frosty. The oils smell like fresh fruit and cream, some have a cookie-ish rub to em. Every day I get more excited to see what they do in the end!

This week they’re starting to drink a bit more. I missed the last watering by a day. Drought resistance is amazing with these but a couple of them yellowed. A couple are getting getting calcium spots, already adjusted ph to see if that would help so fingers crossed. But some very strong genetics for sure. Happy with results so far, they all smell fantastic

One plant had to go. I’m thinking it was maybe an issue with drainage because I didn’t mix enough, but everything else is doing pretty good. They’re a little unhappy with the light intensity but it looks worse because they were just watered. Fade is looking nice but some are getting tip burn I suspect because I did a 6 week flush. They might also lose some color in the next couple of weeks but I’m gonna be fighting it. Anyways thanks for checking in!

Temp swings galore. Getting up to 13 degrees but I’m trying to keep it right around 10 and the plants are responding. They’re fattening up pretty well now and putting out some amazing colors. Later when lights come on on I’ll get some pics of that I may have found an nanner but it only popped up in the last week or so. I think I’m gonna let it ride out. Plucked everything I could right away. These have been a breeze, like low light, aren’t picky eaters, great drought resistance (which I tested accidentally) All in all I definitely got more than what I paid for. All things considered I’ve paid more for worse quality genetics and gotten more herms paying 15-20 dollars a seed vs 10. I’d buy again, maybe just be a little more selective and diligent.

So they're finally done. Really pretty stuff here and serious nose behind it. Every day it's developed and now it reeks like vanilla and lemon candy. There's a pheno that smells like bubblegum and another smells like a sweeter lemon tree. They're similar smelling but very very different. Makes it fun to sort through. The looks are pretty off the charts too but I don't have to say that. I'm excited to do my first smoke report! May not get to it until everything's done curing but my guess is these are gonna be burning phenomenally. I'm looking forward to getting my keeper and getting some beans of my own soon. Anyway thanks for checking in!
