Poppin Bottlez

June 17-24 I usually start with seed starter mix. Walmart. Any. It lets me know how they will respond going further.

July 1 Came into this week and forgot to grab 3G pot. Sad Face. So we will have to make due. Now looking around I don't like the look of the shannons. They are being bratty. I decide to just 5G it and start the mixing. After transplant I added recharge to the Shannons only.

July 10-17 As we open the tent we can smell the earth. They look like a farm barnhouse dance. It's exciting. The shannons have come back and decided they are game. At the end of the week I topped them all and laughed. I could hear restless leaves in the background, my hand bumped the UI plug and fan went to level 7. It was a rodger doger code 4 there for a second but we got her plugged back in. They are all dancing now.

July 23-28 Entering our botanical garden we begin to smile. Everything is great and they look THIRSTY. This is when I started to double my watering. I also noticed the PBs wanted lower PH. Honestly the leaves told me they said please sir, some lower ph. I listened and all the girls got 5.8 throughout the week.

July29-aug7 Turned light to 60% Broke a fork on Poppin Bottlez front left lady. I had to sit down and talk to her through the trama we both expierenced. She responded nicely the upcoming days but we were both bruised from the pop dance and should of went ballet. She stayed strong.

Aug8-15 Turned light to 70% If you look close, i had issues letting go of the main stem. I made a cup of 5.8PH water and tried to frankestein her stem back. Within the upcoming weeks I was going to learn if it was possible. I trimmed a bunch and walked away for the day.

Aug 16-18 The beginning the week i have switched the light to 80%, added a net, moved branches around and thought about the main stem growing in the cup again. Will she survive? Do i have issues letting go? Fear of trama to all of the ladies has set in and i'm questioing if her tiny little presence is pissing off the queens.

Aug19-24 Lights went 90% this week. Hearing the zipper we peek in and get blinded by the light. After the spots disappeared i started to work my way through each of the ladies and trim em alllllll. I got rid of a lot. Who knows, I could of done more but they were tired and so was I.

Aug 22-27 Started watching Belushi on Netflix. Decided I needed a fan underneath the ladies as well. So I added one and switched her 100% light. Yes we are at full throttle captain! Also went to Mass and grabed some blues brothers. Loved it very much. Apple Tartz. Also realized the main stem frankenstein revival was my fear of not letting go. After the 2nd bong rip I started to make peace with letting her go. She was still growing, had a tiny hair growing the tiniest bud a lil shannon and was a nice light green. I said she still has life and I picked up the cup. I raised her out the water and took a good look. Nothing. Slime. No roots. This was a loss. She was gone.

Aug 31- Sept 8 The clicking of fan, the snap of the lights and we are in. The ladies have been busy. This little cha-cha has everyone raising to the sky. It's pretty much been on auto mode and water is all that's been needed. As they frost the leaves im going to be looking for any sign in her veins. If she needs something they will get bigger. Most likely i will just add recharge.

Sept 9-15 Nutes used with Tablespoon not tsp. As we come to the end of week 12 these ladies are vibrant. PB on the left in most pictrures has started a purple swag at her edges and tips. Most of the plants genitics are starting to appear and it's been a smooth ride so far. The shannons on the other hand have started to get spicy. We can see a little color starting to fade which means she needs the nutrients to build her back up. The shannons won.They got the top dress and water and now we wait. This is it. That's the last of the nutrients. All 4 ladies have been set up for success, it's up to them to finish. Next coming weeks we should see beautiful colors, sticky buds, and growth.

Sept 16 - 22 Week 13 I just want to make it clear that I use a 1L water bottle for every feeding. Usually its every 2-3 days. The conditional fields on this page are not as transparent and i'm not going to do math. OK. SO. WEEK 13. Started off with a pre halloween treat. As you look at the first picture we can see tiny white spots on the leaf. Immediate panic sets in as this could be a number of things and all of those things are BAD. So we go to the scope. Time to science this white spot. As I zoom in I am seeing nothing. No legs, no antenna, no scratchy whiteness so im confused. What could this be. It's not a bug, it's not mold, and it's not any type of spider crap. WHAT CAN IT BE? DUST. DUST is the answer and a few pictures later you can see the fan has accumulated DUST which is blowing over the plants and creating these random white spots. I turned up the intake and we will have to clean this fan at some point but HEY crisis averted. Some of the leaves in the beginning of the week were showing signs of a MG deficiency. As we topped all ladies at the end of last week and gave them all recharge I was hoping for a change by end of week. However that did not happen. Ladies are creating massive buds and they want the cal-mg so thats what they got. Coming up we should see better leaf structure and a grassy green all around. Do your thing girls! Next week we might get rid of a lot of leaves but I am undecided at this point.😅

Sept 23-29 Week 14 Hey!!! Says each one of the ladies as you open up the window. The perfume hits you in the face almost like one of those herbal essences commercials where it brings back your hair and lightly floats it into perfect place. I almost did the head move. They are looking great. I did notice that maybe the pH down I’ve been using has too much phosphorus as one of the mystery Shannon’s has started to show signs. With only two weeks to go. I’m not sure I’m going to pay attention and I’m going to let her be grumpy. Poppin bottlez girl you are looking pretty. You’ve turned this beautiful purple. I can’t wait to watch them bottles pop.

Week 15 KAZOWWWW like a old batman robin cartoon. Ladies are potent. They are a super strong smell of candy soda and rocket fuel with a hint of mint. Ladies are showing me their full potential under this 250w light. It’s been a great grow. No real issues. Almost automatic. I didn’t spend a lot of time fussing on them and it has been the smoothest run I’ve experienced. The mystery shannons smell like what we called “Headies” back in the day and she does not disappoint. I am very excited for this last week of grow. Watching the trichomes every day waiting for the right moment. Next week as in the 14th we should be harvesting them. Could be 10-14th but aiming for the 14th as end of life no matter what. 😎

Mystery shannon #1 im going to call candy kush because thats exactly what it smells like. Mystery Shannon #2 is purple punch haze. You can see it and smell it. Poppin Bottlez are amazing with way more potency and much more weight. Very excited for this dry/cure. Overall i would grow the PBz again. Im going to take a break with unkown seeds for now and start the new school strains. Hope everyone had a great read and enjoyed the 16 weeks of updates and pictures. Ta ta for now Farmer Don
