Growhome_90 29/08: I put a "The Red Pill" seed from V-Buds into Zewa to germinate. At the same time, I prepared my existing living soil (40L) with Herbi's starter and worm humus. Two days later, it germinated and got to move into its new home. After two more days, the seedling was already breaking through the soil. For the first 2-3 days, I placed a lid over the seedling to help it with higher humidity. - - - - - 04/09: In the meantime, the clover is starting to fight its way to the surface.

Growhome_90 04/09: Let's kick off the first week of growth. The little plant is doing well and shows no issues with the somewhat stronger Livingsoil. I’ve added a small area of nutrient-poor soil around the seedling just to be safe, and it seems to have worked well. The clover is sprouting all around. As I've experienced before with Livingsoil, a few fungus gnats have settled in. But I've already ordered nematodes for control. They'll be mixed in over the next few days.

Growhome_90 11/09: Growth is slowly becoming noticeable. The side shoots are developing, and one node after another is coming to light. The spacing is very compact, and it's growing quite bushy. My plan is to top it after the 4th node. I've done that in the past with V-Buds Autos, and it worked well. The lamp is now at 360 ppfd with a distance of about 40cm from the plant tip. Since I have a fungus gnat infestation, I introduced some nematodes this week to get the problem under control :-)

Growhome_90 September 18: A new week begins. The little one is doing wonderfully. She's growing well and developing beautifully. Then it was time for the first training. On day 17, I topped her. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Meanwhile, it's September 22, and she handled the topping super well. I'm already starting with LST training, which allows me to direct the shoots outward so they all get more light and better airflow. To ensure the smaller shoots get a bit more light, I’ve angled the leaves down to the side with hooks.

Growhome_90 September 25: The pre-flowering has started. The first white hairs are visible. The plant has strong growth and doesn't really like LST. Topping has been very well tolerated and has given the side branches a nice boost. I don't know if it's due to the companion plants, but she has slight issues with water uptake. A few individual leaves show signs of too much water, even though the pot isn't overly heavy and the surface is already quite dry. I'll keep an eye on that and change the watering strategy (smaller, but not so deep waterings). Additionally, I broke a branch during training, and unfortunately, it couldn't be repaired. But the energy is going into the other branches.

Growhome_90 October 2: The plant has grown well this week, the buds are starting to form. Looking at the flower calyxes in the pictures, it's hard to contain the excitement, as the first purple tones are becoming noticeable in the calyxes. The change in the watering rhythm seems to be slowly taking effect, as fewer and fewer leaves are showing signs of overwatering. Soon, there will be the first feeding.

Growhome_90 October 9: The red pill is developing beautifully. The buds are slowly emerging among the green. The first purple tones are becoming more intense, and I suspect I'm going to get some beautiful purple buds. The plant has minimal burnt tips and a slight crawling, which is probably due to a bit too much nitrogen in the soil (maybe from the clover?). It could also be too much water, but since I base my watering on the weight of the pot and water relatively infrequently, I'm ruling that out for now. Additionally, this week it received Herbi's Livingsoil Booster (NPK/284), which supports flowering and further promotes soil life.

Growhome_90 October 16: The flowering is progressing. The buds are getting bigger and the color is becoming more intense. The curling and burnt tips haven't gotten worse. I suspect it's too much N2 from the feeding.

Growhome_90 October 23: The red pill has now turned purple, and it's really colorful in the tent. It's developing great, the buds are getting bigger and slowly growing together into a head bud at the end of the stem. - - - - - - - October 26: Today there was a topdress application. However, I mixed the Herbi Booster with water beforehand and applied it to the surface. This is a bit easier than removing the entire mulch.

Growhome_90 The plant has a beautiful deep purple color. The buds are relatively small but very dense. It was dried in Dryfermbags. After about 7-8 days, it was ready to be transferred to the jar.

Looks really good, mine are also coming this week and the Red Pill is included.. How is it in terms of taste? Would you grow it again? Cheers!

Growhome_90 commented7mo ago
@Raffitsch, according to the description, it should lean towards Diesel/red wine/woody. Compared to other diesel-heavy strains, it definitely leans more towards woody-earthy for me. Hardly any chemical notes. I would/will definitely grow it again. But for now, I have a few other strains I want to test. Crooked Cucumbers (V-Buds) will always be included, as I've had good experiences with them so far.
