Fo' Twenny here with another update on our Melon Gum cultivar bred by Dr. Underground!
Want to see all the strains I have running?
This girl is just one of a 16 strain photoperiod SOG with 2 wildcards added in the event that either of the two regular seeds end up being males.
Check out all of my diaries and give me a follow!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.

Inocculated by mixing 1 cup of Extreme Gardening Mycos

2 tsp/gal Fox Farms Kangaroots
9/16 - Day 38: This cultivar is looking really good! She was the runt for a while and finally is mature enough to top. I topped her just above the fifth node leaving a small nub. I also defoliated several large fan leaves. I did notice some white blotches on a few leaves as well as several other plants in the garden. I'm not sure if it's just water spots from my helper's carelessly watering causing water spots from the Nutrient solution or the start of a PM infection. Never really dealt with PM, but decided to spray them with some serenade. I also sprinkled with a little more White Dutch Clover seed on top soil.
9/17 - Day 39: I installed the new 320w GeekLight in the 24" x 48" veg tent.
GOOD NEWS:
I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done. It took 9 calendar days to ship from China.

@@JP148, I haven't had that problem myself, but I have read moisture kills pollen viability. Maybe just spray things down well. I would have to research this one and hate to steer you wrong.
@@JP148, Interesting. Are they fully formed seeds? I have heard of some strains being prone to growing ovules which are often mistaken for undeveloped seeds. I don't know a lot on the subject, but your situation sounds similar to that of a friend who told me about ovules in a strain I was thinking of running.
@FoTwenny,hey👋 I was mentioning those thick leafs as a cabbage😜 which is good in my eyes ! Yes , I look for rapid growth ,, strong stems , good structure ,,, short internodes💪 but we never know what the final product will turn out to be 💚
@NatureBoyNeo, Cabbage is good? Maybe a dumb question, but was wondering. What do you look for when they're young that gives indication of final product? I think rapid growth and short internodal growth is good in general, but was curious if there are other indicators to look out for? Thanks for stopping by!
This is the best strain I have ever tasted ..
I first tried it at Barca in 2015 and it's really amazing as terpenes ..
Together with Mr. Nice's Mango Haze, this is the one I like the most as a flavor.
In 3 days my friends and I bought 50g of this one alone 😎👌👌
I just bought some seeds too, next year I will grow them ..
Hope you can find the pheno I tried ..
You will see 😉
Have fun 🌱
@FoTwenny,
You will have a lot of fun and you will never forget it👌
The flowers will have a light green color with slight purple / bluish shades.
It's a Sativa body high , but it won't take your head to another planet 🚀
The taste is pure 🔥
Will you let me know 😉
Happy Cultivation 🌱
@Belverde, Thanks for stopping by! I have never tried this one, but it looks amazing and your description makes it
sound that much more enticing! Hopefully I find a keeper! Cheers and happy growing!
@@pepitogrillo, Looking forward to it myself. I have been interested in this strain a while now. The seeds weed very pale a d hopefully they germinate appropriately.
