Been battling the dreaded root aphids in the flower room 😣. It's always something right. Took me forever to figure out what was going on but now I have a couple guns for this gunfight instead of a knife. I will give a tea in a few days to take out the rest of them. Seriously, going through this has made me learn much more about deficiencies, pests and the flowering cycle. Sucks for my pics but great learning for the long run. Red Mandarine and punch 3.0 are in flower at this point, Slurricane and GDP on deck!
Red Mandarine is going into flower on 5/26 at 16 inches tall. She is becoming pretty bushy but I'm expecting a big stretch. I will be deleafing her and taking alot of clones this next week. She has been very impressive in veg, now let's see how she flowers.
GDP, I'm waiting on one of her clones to root b4 she goes into flower. They were very woody so it's taking a while. I wanted to do some training on her but stems wayyyyy to stiff. Other than that showing a little nute excess. Flushing her and fighting bugs this week.
Punch 3.0 finally looking happy. Another one with very stiff stems. I'm kind of tempted to take a cut just for the hell of it. I haven't decided yet but gotta make decision tonight. I can't wait to see how she flowers. Not a good veg but expecting great flower.
Slurricane is looking great. Transplanted into final bucket tonight. I could definitely tell aphids have slowed root progression. I will focus on building roots in her new home so she will definitely have a great flower.
Hey @ Growin_strong!

Have fun!
@Growin_strong, I didn't mean to sound critical, it's just that I'm very interested in weight, watts, sqm, density, etc. I love statistics to compare and learn from, it's part of my process :)
Awesome grow though 🙏
@Growin_strong, looking forward to seeing that 😵 just ordered some red poison by sweet seeds hopefully I'll get some cool colors this next grow as well.🙏
Plants are looking good. Im growing a purple punch 3.0 from in house genetics also right now along side a sugar cane from in house. Its funny to see you had lots of issues with the purp punch 3.0. So have i! So has a friend of mine. Im growing it in RDWC setup and my buddy in soil and we have both also had lots of issues. It looks like its flowering pretty well though! I almost killed her off and let the sugar cane fill the tent but im glad I didnt because she really exploded and has soo many tops.
@Growin_strong, Ah shit that kinda sucks! Mine has really taken off in flowering, the stretch is crazy on it! I may have underestimated just how much it will stretch unfortunately!
@trailerparksupervise,
Thanks! Hearing about the Punch 3.0 makes me feel better. It was very fast flowering. I lost control of humidity for about a week in this heat wave and had to pull it going on 7 weeks. Not too far from done tho. I am planning to run it again and hit it with some pollen.
@Grey_Wolf, I appreciate it, those were some of the pages I came across. The black cherry punch looks pretty sweet. I'm waiting for In House Cherry Breeze to get here, should've been last week!
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
I see you haven't voted with a 6. Is there anything we can do better?
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!
