GroloCup Coming in hot and bringing that Happy Bird heat with me. I've gone through and chosen a six pack that is guaranteed to blow the mind body and soul. I have found something from each of the last few drops that just have been catching my eye for some time and I wanted to see them all in one group. This is my homage to Brother Geoff, one of the good guys in this community and a guy with his foot on the gas when to comes to Autofem crosses. Hopefully I can do the man proud with my efforts and see how far and fast I can push these to their limits. Get ready for a bizarre ride to the wild side everybody. These beans soaked for 24 hrs in a 1:1 mix of Hydrogen peroxide and tap water then to a paper towel for another 24 hrs, then into the cubes... The Poker'z Wild needed the shell cracked but has pulled through in the end.

GroloCup A week in and four out of the six are ready to head to the big tent to go into their one gallon hydro buckets... I've been impressed so far with the 100% germination rate as well as the vigor in which these have taken off. The roots are well over 6 inches and they've been guzzling up this diluted nutrient solution I've started them off with.

GroloCup They really seemed unhappy at first, but are starting to settle into the new location and are honestly perking up a bit. I pulled a few leaves at a yellow during the acclamation to the new solution, tent, light, etc. hoping day really turn around a little bit and don't start to flower. This is the first time I've ever attempted to transplant this way so growing pains are what they are. I think we'll still get a little off of each and I'll be able to figure out which one I would like to grow full size, as these are all in one gallon buckets. I'll continue to update with pictures over the course of the week.

GroloCup Absolutely cruising... Except for that Poker'z Wild, she just won't get right. Roots are in the solution now so she'll get a little more time, but if she's not on the come up by weeks end, we'll drop to a five lady crew and power on to the end. These ladies are happy and really starting to branch out. Superstar Bomb Pop is the Cameron Brink of this crew, a real tall glass of beautiful! Mothership, Blackberry Poundcake, and Back in Black look like shrubs and last but def not least, the Dragonfruit Diesel has really come on this week and has made up ground with no sign of letting up! MegaCrop and hydroponics really allows these Happy Birds to fly!!!!

GroloCup What a week they had... Poker'z Wild made a move in the right direction, but I have low hopes for her in the yield department. The Superstar Bomb Pops is the belle of the ball, but honestly they all look incredible. They are all in one stage of bloom, couple in pre-flower, one in full and then the runt just trying to get her life sorted out. I'll keep the MegaCrop dosage and pH the same and continue to ease them to the midway point of this run, while beginning to add some CalMag and Bud Explosion as we transition to the fun stuff. Brother Geoff has certainly blessed me with some connoisseur genetics so I'm going to keep bringing my A game. I did toss a dehumidifier in the tent to attempt to keep the VPD in the zone and keep these girls maxed out til the end!

GroloCup Another explosion of growth this week. Five of the six strains are growing exponentially, while my underdog Poker'z Wild is just an oddity, most would consider a dud, but I am letting her just struggle along day after day. Basically she's not making any more work for me so she's there as a companion for the others. Theyve definitely started frosting up and the bud development is on pace. Superstar Bomb Pops, Back in Black and Blackberry Poundcake are all iced up while Dragonfruit Diesel and Mothership are right behind them. Hoping the stretch is about done and we can just keep up with the water quality and EC levels til they're ready for harvest!

GroloCup Horrible week. Left town for a couple of days, auto top off for my buckets leaked and didn't top off half the plants, so now there are only 3 strains remaining. RIP to Superstar Bomb Pops, Poker'z Wild and Dragonfruit Diesel... And Mothership is looking particularly unhappy. Hopefully I can pull her out of the shitter and finish the last 2. To say I'm a little upset is an understatement. I guess the plus side is I still have a phenomenal Back in Black and Blackberry Poundcake that will finish and be the consolation gift. I'll definitely run the lost ladies again, but I'm gonna need some time to recover emotionally. Cheers all and be safe.

GroloCup What a week, what a bounce back! These Happy Birds are flying high, and man this tent smells heavenly. A skunk eating fruit loops near, but not in, a diaper genie. Frost is really loading up and the calyxes are swelling up making these buds as thick as a water bottle. I'm probably going to pull the tops once I see some amber and let the lowers linger a little longer to allow them to ripen. All kidding aside, maybe losing the plants last week was a blessing to create more room for air to circulate... Everything happens for a reason!

GroloCup It's really starting to wind down for the Blackberry Poundcake and the Back in Black, while the Mothership has blown up and looks like shes doubled last week. I'll probably flush the 2 early finishers with some flawless finish and Mothership will continue on her path to a pound out of a 1 gallon bucket. These have been some of the biggest autos I've ever grown, so props to Brother Geoff for his efforts with this magical plant.

GroloCup Overall I'm blown away with how beautiful she turned out. A phenomenal cycle from seedling to harvest. I may have a green thumb and know my way around a pH pen, but having premium genetics to work with certainly smoothes out the path to success. Give Brother Geoff over at Happy Bird Seeds a look and see for yourself.

She was a blast. Strong from the start and finished with nice tight buds and tons of frost. Great earthy profile as well. An extremely photogenic lady that really showed some beautiful color as she finished up. This was one of HBS retired strains that I hope Brother Geoff re-releases for everyone to get a chance at running her for themselves.

GroloCup Ended up with 2.80 oz of total dry weight. Took the larfy stuff and pressed it for a lovely fresh rosin. Very gassy smell after the dry, hoping she stays just like that as she cures. Extremely sticky buds on her, even though I let her dry longer than my typical process. I'm extremely impressed with the solidity of the tops, they definitely kept the weight. MegaCrop, DWC and Happy Bird Seeds for the win again!

A fan favorite around my home and a lovely strain to grow. Did a little better with her temps this time and she rewarded me with some massive buds. A lovely earthy menthol terpene that is oh so funky. Glad to have given her a second run.

GroloCup Chop Day! I gave her a few extra days since she was still sipping water pretty actively, but she'd slowed down to the point where I felt it was time. I'd knocked back her nutes to just Bud Explosion the last couple top offs and she packed on a little more bud weight. Another perfect end to this Happy Bird Event!
