Poddy Mouth (Humboldt Seeds Co)

bauergrows First week of light :)

bauergrows First pair of leaves and a new pair coming.

bauergrows Girls are great this week.

bauergrows As you can see in the picture, one of the plants is growing more vigorously than the other. The plant on the left appears less healthy, showing lighter coloration and overall slower growth. The yellowing of the lower leaves could indicate a mild nitrogen deficiency, although root-related issues cannot be ruled out. To address this, I’ve decided to feed it a half dose of Fish Mix (BioBizz) and will monitor its response over the coming days.

bauergrows The Poddy plants were topped, and the cuttings were set to root. I’m not planning to run this strain again, but you never know. Worst case, I’ll make a fellow grower happy with a gift. The plant responded quickly and positively. New tips have been visibly growing larger each day since the first day after topping, which says a lot about its genetic vigor and resilience.

bauergrows Both plants are taking the topping like champs, bouncing back with that kind of vigor that makes you trust the genetics a little more each day. They’re ready to move into the flipping station now, since this run is still about getting a proper read on the strain rather than pushing for perfection. The clones are already rooted and waiting for their next step. Once repotted, they’ll start building strength, either to earn their place as future mothers or to join the outdoor crew when the time comes. The larger plant has been pushed a bit further, supercropped and gently guided with some early LST. The goal is simple, four clean, even main colas. It’s a small setup, but there’s no reason it can’t deliver something solid. As for the smaller one, it’ll grow out naturally. The strain is supposed to be stable, so letting one plant do its thing should give a clearer picture of what it wants to be without interference.

bauergrows The Poddy Mouths have been flipped recently and are starting to stretch and show first pistils. One of them had two small balls that gave me a scare, so I'm keeping a close eye on those. Besides that, everything looks fine so far. Update: they both look a bit hermed to my eyes. I will keep observing.

bauergrows Poddy Mouth is showing two distinct phenotypes. One of them started to display strong signs of hermaphroditism, so for now I’ve been removing the pollen sacs and keeping a close eye on how it develops. Interestingly, this is also the slower-growing phenotype, and it was topped as well, which makes me think it might be more sensitive to stress than expected. On the other hand, the plants are already showing clear signs of inflorescence development, and the stretch seems to have come to an end.

bauergrows Not much to add this week: the process continue.

bauergrows Still not much to add this week. I still perceive no smell in the plants, but they seem both very healthy.

bauergrows The increase in volume of buds in the last week was noticeable. I'm using Plagron Green Sensation in 0.75ml/L.

bauergrows Buds are dense, smell is a bit weak. They are very sticky when I touch them and the smell on the fingers is very interesting. Let's see how terpene production increases in the next weeks.

bauergrows This plant is pure elegancy. The smell is starting to be in the atmosphere, but it's a strange one, like burned rubber. The smell after the touch is sweet and gassy/chemical, which I'm really liking I'm trying to bring down the EC from 2.0 to 1.5 as I approach the final part before harvest, so I've stopped the feeding around 10 days ago and I'm relying exclusively on the soil accumulated nutrients. Harvest is non-negotiable because I need to go on vacations, so it's going to be around 9 more days for this one.
