2 Monster Babys

all_about_420 The Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds is picking up speed, and the move to the final substrate went absolutely smoothly. As can be easily seen in the pictures, the development over the week is wonderfully traceable: While the plant stood a bit more compact and delicate in the substrate at the beginning of the week, a look at the end of the week already shows a significantly larger leaf area, stronger branching in the center, and a noticeable growth spurt. The substrate with the proper perlite content offers the perfect balance of airiness and moisture, allowing the roots to dig really deep now. The selection strategy remains extremely exciting, as it early on shows how much vitality is in these genes, even though the direct comparison between the two phenotypes will really kick off with the next shots. Next step: Let the ladies establish further under the lamp and keep a close eye on the vegetative growth to make the final decision soon. Stay tuned!

all_about_420 The next week in the Junky 99 project by Brothers Grimm Seeds shows a fantastic leap in development and makes the head-to-head race between the two phenotypes really exciting now. Looking at the two ladies in direct comparison, it’s immediately noticeable how extremely vigorous they are developing and how splendid the new, deeply serrated leaves look in the light. The first plant exhibits wonderfully symmetrical growth with wide, strong fan leaves that are flat and optimally positioned to capture maximum light energy. However, the second plant is holding its ground strongly and is putting on an incredibly dense, almost bushy growth in the center, where the next branches are already compactly stacking on top of each other. Both ladies clearly love the airy perlite substrate in their fabric pots, showing a rich, healthy green and bursting with energy. The decision on which of the two will ultimately win the race and be continued is becoming increasingly difficult with such strong performances from both sides, as each shows its own excellent characteristics in this early veg phase. Next step: Maintain consistent conditions, observe the explosive growth, and analyze the nuances in growth behavior closely to soon crown the final favorite.

all_about_420 Welcome back to the weekly update of the Junky 99 project by Brothers Grimm Seeds, which has now successfully completed the third week of the vegetative phase. A look at the two ladies reveals a still very vital and powerful growth, with the specific phenotypes increasingly distinguishing themselves from one another, making the selection process even more exciting. As seen in the pictures, one of the plants shows extremely pronounced, bushy, and compact growth, with the new, deeply serrated leaves displaying a rich green, and the next branches already stacking very closely on top of each other. It seems to have perfectly adapted to the conditions in its fabric pot and is making optimal use of the airy substrate. The other phenotype is also in excellent condition, but with a slightly more open structure and a tendency towards slightly broader fan leaves, which presents a clear visual difference from its sister plant. Both plants are bursting with vitality, showing healthy, upright leaves and no signs of stress, which speaks to the stability of the genetics. The decision on which of the two will be selected for the final round is now approaching, as the individual strengths are clearly crystallizing at this stage. Next step: closely monitor the growth rate, further analyze the plant structure, and prepare the selection decision while keeping the conditions in the grow room consistent. Stay tuned for the next update!

all_about_420 In the fourth week of the vegetative phase, everything is running absolutely smoothly and perfectly in the green for the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds. The vitality of this promising cross is evident in both plants with a robust, compact growth and perfectly formed, deep green fan leaves and extremely vigorous shoot tips. All parameters and climate values in the setup are precisely aligned, which is reflected in the flawless leaf structure and tight internodal spacing of the two ladies. The plants show no deficiencies or stress symptoms, each developing an excellent, bushy structure and fully utilizing the potential of the medium. An absolutely stable and straightforward process that underscores the high quality of this genetics and lays a perfect foundation for the further selection process.

all_about_420 A real growth spectacle is currently unfolding with the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds, as the original selection plan has been tossed aside: since both plants are presenting absolutely flawless, the decision was simply impossible, so now both beauties will run together until the grand finale. The last few days have been packed, as both ladies were successfully topped, intensely defoliated, and shaped using targeted training techniques. These high-end interventions have been handled by the two powerhouses without the slightest hesitation; they are standing more stable and vibrant than ever before. The nutrient program from Advanced Nutrients is hitting full stride in conjunction with the setup, unleashing an enormous dynamism, with the two plants now filling the tent like a lush, deep green jungle. With this massive, healthy leaf mass and perfectly aligned branches, the foundation for a fat flowering phase has been absolutely masterfully laid. As the vegetative phase comes to an end, the big summary of this section is next. Stay tuned!

all_about_420 An impressive lack of space became noticeable on the first day of the final vegetative phase in the tent, as the two vital strains almost completely filled the area. To make the most of the upcoming stretch and ensure perfect air circulation, a targeted defoliation was carried out just before the light switch, along with a clean lollipopping in the lower area. The two ladies have handled this final touch-up excellently and present themselves with a perfectly opened structure and ideally exposed bud sites, which are now ready to shoot up unhindered. The proven nutrient system continues to deliver flawlessly, so the plants are bursting with energy, and the foundation for the upcoming generative phase is absolutely masterfully laid.

all_about_420 The curtain rises for the generative phase of the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds! With the light change, the first week of flowering has officially begun, and the two ladies aren't wasting any time: the notorious stretch has kicked in powerfully. The forward-thinking preparations of the last few days are now paying off big time. Despite the enormous growth dynamics, the structure remains perfectly balanced thanks to the previous defoliation, and the light penetrates deep down to the lower nodes. Both specimens are looking extremely vigorous, pushing their shoot tips up synchronously and showing a wonderfully even development in direct comparison. The fan leaves are lush and perfectly juicy, while the Advanced Nutrients system seamlessly covers the increased energy needs for the transition. No deficiencies, no signs of stress – the two beauties are bursting with strength and optimally filling the space without blocking each other's light. The start of the stretch is going absolutely masterfully and promises an extremely exciting development for the upcoming flowering days.

all_about_420 An enormous stretching dynamic characterizes the current phase of the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds as the second week of flowering progresses. Both plants are shooting up extremely high and making tremendous gains throughout the week. The morphological diversity of this genetic variety is becoming increasingly clear, as the two ladies are developing very differently in their growth structure: While one specimen presents a very homogeneous appearance and beautifully distributes its new flower sites evenly across the entire crown, the sister channels her energy quite differently, directing the main force primarily into two dominant main tops that stand out prominently. At the tips of the shoots, the first fine white hairs are already visible, marking the successful transition into flower formation. The nutrient supply continues to run absolutely flawlessly, the leaves show a rich, healthy green, and both plants are bursting with vitality as they optimally utilize the space. It remains extremely exciting to observe how these two different growth types will develop further under the light in the coming weeks.

all_about_420 An almost endless stretch shapes the background of the garden, where the two plants have now grown to a considerable size and impressively occupy the upper space of the setup. As the third week of flowering progresses, the bud formation has now fully set in, showing a beautiful, dense collection of the first snow-white pistils all over the elongated branches. Despite the enormous height, both specimens are perfectly healthy, displaying deep green, vital fan leaves and masterfully utilizing the light energy. The structure has opened up excellently, allowing the developing buds to be perfectly illuminated and laying the foundation for an extremely promising resin production. It is a true joy to see the strength and stability that this genetics from Brothers Grimm Seeds delivers, as the first real flower clusters visibly gain mass day by day.

all_about_420 A real high rush characterizes the start of the fourth flowering week in the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds. The stretch has turned out to be so extreme that the two ladies are on the verge of breaking through the ceiling of the setup – in hindsight, they could have stayed a bit more compact. Whether this massive growth spurt is purely due to the genetics or fueled by the still-new Advanced Nutrients system for me is hard to say, as I still need to fine-tune the new fertilizer perfectly for myself. The plants were actually sent into flowering at an absolutely solid and normal height, but the current dynamics were hardly predictable. That's why, right at the beginning of the week, the overdue lollipopping was on the agenda, and given the enormous overall height, we didn't hold back: we did some radical cleaning and heavy cutting at the bottom, which was desperately needed for ventilation and light distribution. Despite the extreme height surge, both plants are thriving beautifully; the flowering is progressing rapidly, and everywhere, vital, promising bud clusters are forming that already leave an excellent impression.

all_about_420 A phenomenal swelling process has begun in the fifth flowering week of the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds. The extreme, way too intense stretch, which definitely lasted way too long, has caused both plants to completely grow over their heads – even the lamp, which has already been hung as high as possible, has been surpassed by the top bud tips in some places. But despite this spatial challenge, which I now have to arrange myself with, the flowering progress in the pictures is simply breathtaking: The buds are swelling massively and forming into extremely long, impressive colas. These are undoubtedly going to be extremely thick buds! To safely support the increasing weight of the blooming beauty, the plants have once again been propped up with the Stringy-Thingy. This stabilization is already desperately needed and will be absolutely essential in the coming weeks with this rapid increase in flower mass. The resin production is noticeably increasing, the white pistils are standing close together, and the two ladies are still bursting with pure vitality despite the immense height gain.

all_about_420 An unbroken growth dynamic also characterizes the sixth flowering week of the Junky 99 project by Brothers Grimm Seeds, as contrary to all expectations, the two giants have still not stopped their vertical growth – it feels like they are just shooting up endlessly. Alongside this ongoing stretch, however, the flower production is running at absolute full throttle: The buds are noticeably swelling day by day, continuously pushing out fresh pistils, and coating the fan and sugar leaves with an ever-thickening layer of sticky trichomes. The enormous colas are gaining tremendous density and mass, which is why the installed support aids are already indispensable to keep the heavy branches stable on course. The interplay of the growth-friendly genetics and the nutrient program shows a massive effect here, as the individual flower clusters slowly merge into massive, continuous flower candles. Both giants stand tall and lush green despite the extreme stress, making this run an absolutely fascinating demonstration of pure plant power.

all_about_420 A true sea of flowers reveals itself at the end of the seventh flowering week in the Junky 99 project by Brothers Grimm Seeds. The two giants have fully unfolded their splendor and are tirelessly pushing more flower mass. The colas have now reached a gigantic size, appear extremely dense, and continuously add volume from top to bottom. What a fascinating highlight lies in between is shown by a small, charming mutant: at one shoot tip, a triple apex has formed, producing three independent buds densely covered in resinous crystals side by side. Trichome production has reached an absolute peak across the entire crown, enveloping the deep green sugar leaves in a silvery, sticky fluff. Thanks to the continuous stabilization, the main stems can withstand the massive weight of the swelling calyxes. A truly spectacular sight that demonstrates the brute potency and growth vigor of this genetics in its full flowering glory.

all_about_420 An almost unbelievable mass phase is taking place in the tent as the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds enters its final stage. It feels like the main buds are still continuously increasing in density, but the real highlight is the side flowers: they have developed so impressively that they don't have to hide in terms of size and compactness compared to many main colas from other runs. The trichomes are continuously maturing, enveloping the massive flower candles in a sparkling layer of resin, but a final end has not yet been reached. Since the ladies are still noticeably pushing their potential and the calyxes want to swell even more, they will definitely get another week or two to perfect their optimal ripeness. The fullness and sheer volume of these colossi are an absolute feast for the eyes and promise an ultimately overwhelming final result.

all_about_420 Heading towards the finish line is the Junky 99 project from Brothers Grimm Seeds, where the final sprint has now begun. All nutrients have been completely discontinued and replaced with Flawless Finish from Advanced Nutrients to thoroughly flush the substrate and give the buds the perfect flavor refinement while the ladies quietly develop their full maturity. The sight in the tent is simply brutal: A total of five gigantic, thick main colas rise up, almost threateningly close to the LEDs with their sheer length and mass. But it's not just the main tops that impress, as the countless side branches also bear real specimens with thick, fat main buds that have grown extremely compact and dense. The entire canopy is extremely hard, finely resinous, and swells once more under the flushing with the last reserves. This final ripening phase now gives the massive buds the deserved finishing touch to masterfully round off this absolutely impressive run.
