GroloCup Back again with another documentary of my preferred breeders selection of a legendary Gnome Automatic offering. Brother Geoff of Happy Bird Seeds hunted several Blackstrap plants and found #7 to be of a deeper, more rich purple than her sisters and reversed her, then generously making her seeds available on his site. This particular strain has been on my list for too long and I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone interested in watching uniquely small style of hydroponic growing. Enjoy!

GroloCup Out of the starting blocks and the race is on! Sprinkles just a pinch of MegaCrop to get this little lady on her way to that purple powerhouse I've seen in so many other growers tents. These first few weeks always give me anxiety, although the plant already knows the mission and nature is doing the work, sometimes the slower pace creates doubt in your process. She's definitely growing and roots are starting to pop out of the grodan cube and through the net pot. I she's started in a smaller container to get her established, then she'll move to the Groloponix bucket til harvest day.

GroloCup She's been doing some odd growing, but she's growing never the less, and since the top wasnt looking very dominant, the executive decision was made to top and see how the side branching comes out. There will definitely be some training. She's got a lovely berry smell coming through in the stem rub. Should be another big week of growth for this girl.

GroloCup Great week, plant hit it's stride and the time lapse shows it. Upping the EC to 1750 and letting her rip now. Should be seeing pistils soon.

GroloCup Rolling along and she is blowing up. Starting to see some pistils at a few of the nodes, so Im waiting for the stretch to begin. Once I can single out the dominant tops, I'll strip some of the lower bud sites to focus her resources on making big flowers, reducing the larfy sites and also improving airflow through the plant...every little bit helps. She still has a couple really crinkly leaves that are slower growing, which has me a little baffled, but either way, I'll continue to push her to the limits with this MegaCrop medley and I'll hit the bloom switch on the light so she can go all in for the next 50 days or so. Tell me who does more with a one gallon DWC in a 16"x16" tent... Top level savagery with these Groloponics!

GroloCup Definitely filling out this little tent and already showing that deep purple that was hunted by Brother Geoff at HBS... I'm hoping I can keep pumping her with this MegaCrop medley and see where this grow goes. She's got a lovely grape smell with a little skunk on the back end and hopefully will only get more powerful as the flowering cycle progresses.

GroloCup She's blown up and smells like grape kool aid mix poured into a cup of gasoline. Then look at that deep purple. Brother Geoff's selection is definitely a thing of beauty. We're holding steady on the nutes and sticking to this autoflower process I've put together and I'm getting really consistent results. Here's to another week of growth and flower development!
