Skynet Very cold weather pushed back the flip because I flower in an insulated shed outside, but it can't handle temps below 15 degrees. 105 days of veg total.
I topped in the 3rd week then again in weeks 5, 7 and 9 (only bc I knew I'd be in veg for weeks longer).
ONLY Coco Loco in a 1g carried her through to 105 days, with only 1 top-dress (about an inch) of Coco Loco with Grow Dots (medium strength). Top-dress happened in week 8.

Skynet Wk 1 of Flower, in the 3x2 tent which is inside the big shed outside so temp and rh control are critical. AC Infinity T3 Forge is a GODSEND, maintaining 73F - 40rh all day and night with only 500w!
Oyster Shell and Grow Dots (medium) in COCO LOCO 3g pot. I will probably top-dress in Week 7-8 depending on how she looks.
Recharge every other Water, Armor Si and CalMag every Water. WxxxxxWxxxxxW is my sched.

Skynet More of the same - 1 water this week (Calmag and Recharge) @ 6.5ph. Was worried about the stretch but I stripped a bit out in Wk1 and may have stunted them a little. You can barely tell now, but they're only going to get so much bigger.
Using the T3 Forge (Heater) and it's keeping temps locked in but rh a little low (35-40). Lollipop'd again 20 days in (1st time I did it a week earlier than I should've- in day 4 of flower) and this time she's super-happy and reaching the next day.
What that early lollipop also did was make the node-spacing the best I've ever seen at this point of flower. barely an inch between nodes so we'll see how that goes.
This Royal Jelly is a bit of a test run, even after 3 yrs of growing I wanted to learn some new shit, to see what 90+ days of veg looks like, what an early defol does (no that wasn't in the plan but still), and when to harvest for the most sedative, head-cracking results. RJ isn't a strain I know, but my 4 Chem Cookies (GMO) will hopefully benefit from being a month behind. Va is hopefully done with sub-20 weather, which is all I need with the new heater (and it's only 500w compared to the 1500w fire-hazards I was using to keep my shed warm) and I'll get another for the big tent, just bc it regulates the temp/rh so well.

Skynet Defoliation in wk1 definitely affected the stretch. She should've grown another foot, but I was too aggressive soon after flipping (and transplanting) I lollipop'd, in fact, more than defol'd and stripped out too much. I never expected a favorite strain out of this grow because I started it in Oct just to see what I could get away with. Still she's doing great, and I'll take it as an important lesson right before (what I hope is) a big ass high-thc GMO grow that's finishing Veg right now. Inhouse has impressed me so many times so I'm still optimistic about the quality but I just love to grow so regardless this has been a fun one.
Watered with just Calmag @ 6.5. and still doing 5 days without watering. Still very green and healthy but colder weather means the heater kicks on more, which brings rh down to 30% but it should warm up next week. And I'll learn from it, seeing how healthy they are. No signs they need a top dress at all, but when my past grows have failed/sucked, signs appeared in wks 6-7-8 so I'm watching more closely, and giving Calmag to the end (in Coco Loco). I'll wait to add Sweet for a week or two,
Thanks for visiting and good luck out there!👊😤

Skynet Beginning of WK5. Nothing to report, and I've done nothing but look at them this week, but getting frosty, stacked and they're super healthy. Watering every 5 days but that may shrink down to 4 in WK6. Loving the ACInfinity T3 Forge (heater) - picked up another one for my big tent. It's the maintaining of a constant temp and rh that has so much value for me, growing in a shed that goes 40 to 70 in no time.
Thanks for visiting! I'm also running 4 Chem Cookies from Mamiko, just flipped to flower today but I'm too lazy to share. Maybe I should.
Happy growing out there! 👊😤
Skynet Watering more often as of this week. Every 4 days instead of 5. Nothing else has changed but the weather is improving so less use of the heater (which has been a godsend) means higher rh. Super frosty, and tight hard tops everywhere already. I might add Sweet to help with the bulk, but at the end of wk 6 I don't see any reason to top-dress. From my xp Coco Loco with Grow Dots can go 9-10 wks easy if I keep supplementing with Calmag so I'll keep watching and might reconsider in wk8.
I defol'd but only enough to let in some light and air. You can see how much in the 2 pics. Thanks for visiting! It's been a stress-free grow, even after I defol'd too hard in Wk 1 of flower, and it was barely Feb and cold as hell when I started this experiment (I'm in a barely insulated but roomy, and elevated shed where I keep this small tent and another 3x4 - where I'm currently running 4 Chem Cookies).
Happy Harvesting! 👊😤

Skynet Nothing new to report so that's awesome. She started drinking more a few weeks ago (start of wk 5 maybe?) but she's even thirstier in wk 7, asking for it after 3 days (just Calmag at 6.5ph). Very slight leaf fade on the last day of wk 7 that hopefully signals the beginning of the end, lots of orange hairs already, and really tight compact buds that will hopefully fatten up in the next 2-3 wks. I might check trichomes next week. Thanks for visiting! I know folks are getting started so good luck out there! 👊😤
Skynet Senescence! Great to see the colors coming in this week. And it's not leaf burn, like many many of my old grows. Made a real effort to lock in my light intensity this time, but it was easy with only 1 plant under 1 300w. I turned the light up from about 65 to 75% last week, and this week to 85. Insanely stanky. I'll report back on the trichomes soon.
It's pretty cool she's still so well fed, and clearly still has plenty of food available if she wants it 8 wks into flower.
Good luck out there! 👊😤

Skynet I never top-dressed her, but she still doesn't need it at the end of wk10. Coco Loco, Med-dose Growdots and Oyster Shell (Down to Earth recommended dose).
I never fed her, only gave her CalMag from early Veg on, and Recharge every other week until mid-flower. Sweet was only added last week, but next time I'll introduce it in wk 6-7. The tips may be burned from the uptick in Sweet tho, so I should start with 3-4ml max and bump it up to 6 before I do 8ml again. Thanks for checking out the Beats Laboratory! Good luck this season! 👊😤

Skynet Just waiting for more amber at this point. And she's still drinking plenty, so she still may have room to swell. Thanks for visiting! Good luck with yours!
A big experiment gone right! I started this grow on 10/29/24 and went 100 days in Veg bc it was too cold to move her out to the shed in Jan.
Fortunately I found out about the AC infinity heater that keeps your temps and rh locked in. I moved her out to the big tent in the shed in Feb and crossed my fingers. Temps dropped a couple of times into the teens but she handled it (only got down to maybe 63 in the tent) and just kept going.
3.2 oz of strong indica.
That 90grams is DRY weight. Nobody weighs this shit wet, so yeah. Very happy after a couple of disappointments at the end of last year.
It's been a week since I've been to the dispensary and in a month I've got 4 GMO's that will be ready to go. The dream of self-sufficiency got a little closer this year. After 3 years of learning, some successes and misfires, this is the year.
Coco Loco + Grow Dots with either room for a big topdress, or extra fertilizer in the bottom 3rd of the pot is my jam. Only water, recharge, calmag, and sweet for the entirety of the grow. 1g pots in wk 3, with grow dots, then 3g pots in wk 8-9. Blumats when I have the time to monitor them, but I'm still learning too. Light intensity is something I need to lock down better this season but so far so good. Good luck with yours friend, and don't give up. It can be a bumpy ride but you will figure it out. I'm so experienced and I know what success looks like at every stage now, so it's getting a lot easier.
Stick with it! Happy growing!

Skynet When the amber arrived it was more tan than amber, I was worried I was chopping too soon. It's been aproblem for me in the past but prob got em just right. Very nice big head-kick from this strain. Lots of tight small buds up and down. The cold might've kept them a little smaller, but again- very dense, very little larf.
Def I do but I don't know this Royal Jelly strain so well- it was a freebie. Their Jelly Breath and Slurriking were killer and I'll def run Slurricane #7 next- everyone raves about that strain.
