Dabbomb1 Week 3 July 11th 2 Weeks and 5 Days Both Plants Seem Stunted. First clones would have been taken around this time with defoliation, extremely small clones averaging 1 inch or smaller. Light was Aglex brand at first the E2000 180w in veg mode I would later add on an Aglex E600 60w in an effort to increase light coverage. Unfortunately they would put out too much heat together to the point temperatures became unmanageable. Later replaced with Mars Hydro TSW2000 300w on July 30th as well as two generic 40w uv bars for under canopy lighting installed on the same day. Many bad user inputs from myself during weeks 1 to week 3; over feeding of nutrients, adding in nutrients irrelevant to current growth phase. Both plants seemed to be stunted early on; one (Clementine X Tangie) would later die due to a combination of high heat / low humidity and nutrient block most like leading cause was nutrient block with runoff ppm reading as high as 2400. I had introduced black strap molasses in a high quantity. In all honesty I didn't have a true base nutrients set at this point I was still re familiarizing myself with growing again. I hadn't grown in over 10 years, there was one grow just months prior to this of a bag seed SFV OG (Fem) and Crockett's TrueOG x Tangie (Male) harvested around the same time as this project's start time. It wasn't great but not terrible either lol.

Dabbomb1 July 22nd Week 5 Weeks 4 Days 1 LST on main stem had started finally, I would've started lst earlier but both plants had very tight node spacing. Defoliation of complete node sites was required to get LST Clips on main stems. I increased the output of the Aglex E2000 to both veg and bloom mode (max setting) and added the Aglex E600 (no setting controls) during week 4. In hopes of increasing light coverage and encouraging growth between both plants. Temperatures would reach into high 90's or the low 100's °F. Clementine X Tangie had more robust feeling leafs almost as thick feeling as real citrus leafs. Unfortunately it would die this week after more defoliation and topping it was left practically bare. Dying 2 or 3 days after these photos. I was still over feeding nutrients and making bad user inputs ppms still reading in the mid 2000's I would start a full flush after this week and switch to Green Rush Nutrients Leafy Green Grow trying to keep most nutrient inputs as close to organic as possible.

Dabbomb1 Sept 24th Week 1 of Flowering This picture was taken on 3 days into a 12/12 flower schedule This was the first week of flower aka 12/12 schedule Clone/clones were in a separate room at this time do to one being sts sprayed/reversed. They would briefly appear in this room around week2/4 of flower; as I was unsure if I would pollinate both the remaining clone and mother, or just the second clone, or just the mother. I would later decide to only pollinate the second clone

Dabbomb1 Clone started 12/12 on September 5th Mother plant started 12/12 on September 21st 2 week difference due to having to sex Crockett Family Farms regular seeds. Emits a purple candy smell but has more gassy undertone on fingers when rubbed. Fan leaves are turning dark purple, flowers have purple highlights on edges. Extremely frosty flowers. Light output at 90%

Dabbomb1 Nov 3rd my apologies for the late update it's been a hectic few days. !!!"Day light savings" as of Nov 2nd 0000 am 12/12 remains the same I "did not" adjust my timers with the time change.!!! !!!Some Nutrients doubled from 8ml to 16ml per gal!!! Chimera X end of week flower Current Flowering times Mother: Sept 21 - Nov 3 Clone: Sept 5 - Nov 3 Mother plant: Has not stretched for 2 weeks or so Colas and other nugs seem to be further ripening/fattening following similarly to the clone. Purple is moving from fan leaves to the outer edges of nugs/colas and sugar leafs. Clone: No longer seems to be fattening/ripening if so it may have been over looked; Purple has moved in heavily throughout it. Trichomes all still seem to be mostly white/milky with only a handful if that at all looking amber ish, I will try to pull out my cheap digital microscope this week to get a closer look. Again this clone's sole purpose was to be reverse pollinated which it successfully was thankfully. The first seed was spotted on it this week as well.

Dabbomb1 Nov 9th Week 8/10 of Flowering Mother: Week 8; Mother plant seema to be healthy but yellowing and drying of a few fan leafs has become more noticable the last two days. It was given 1 liter of Down to Earth Bat Guano this week measured at Tbsp per gallon, and brewed for 48 hours prior to feed. It did not respond as I had hoped I feel the nitrogen level likely spiked but idk. Buts looks great no discoloration or yellowing most are turning dark purple with beautiful light green spots. Most hairs have turned orange with a few white hairs still looking a bit you, trichomes hears are starting to whiten up more as well. Clone: Week 10; Clone plant is definitely at peak ripeness a good portion of trichomes hears have ambered just with in the last couple days. Down to Earth Bat Guano was also fed to this plant the same day as the mother but did not yellow. Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish was introduced on Friday (it's last feed/water day) initiating it's final week of flush currently run off ppm is 630 +/-. I can't wait to harvest this one; seeds and all. !Only the Clone Has Seeds! The clone looks great in my opinion, I was hoping the mother would turn just as dark purple but I won't be holding my breath on it. The mother does have another 2 weeks and the clone turned dark purple almost overnight we'll just have to wait and see.

Happy Harvest Day!

32 weeks and 4 days for a total time of 228 days. 54 days of flower for Mother plant. Expected peak ripeness window 60-65 days. I finally called it!! This plant was fun to grow, ill be completely honest I had lost track of time on this grow it was a long one. From a rough start and unideal finish it stuck it out leaving me truly impressed by it's resilience and it's overall production considering room size. I would definitely run it again hopefully not as long next time. The clone I had flowering with it really shined showing brilliant dark purple in the end. This could be an easy to intermediate grow depending on a few factors; mainly trying to provide the best start correct ppm and pH as well as climate. This plant would see temps as high as 112 F° during veg mid summer. Wet weight was 23.0 Oz's. It'll be a few days before I get the final cure weight.

Dabbomb1 I finally decided to chop. This grow had gone way longer than I anticipated but due to high temperatures through summer months I allowed it to veg till outdoor temps would finally stabilize to mid 80F°. This plant was really stretched considering it was stunted early on and small for the first month or 2 the odds were against it but it overcame it's environment and bad user inputs in my part I will be growing this strain again in the future. Hopefully I my skills as a grower have improved by the time I attempt a second go. I really like the smell this plant gives Purple ish candy with a gassy undertone almost like a skunk or og smell that lingers. It's large flowers are beautifully covered in trichomes with brilliant hues of purple and green all over. I will try to fill in more of the blank weeks now that it's down but please bare with me 32/33 weeks is a long time. Thank you all for your interest and support.
