So.... Surprise! Let's make a reallll long story short before I jump into this grow๐ฒ. After the loss of the last four girls (through unfortunate circumstances) I decided to hang on to a new set of girls I had been propagating for another friend, where we were going to do a second Proxy project. We have postponed that and after a long discussion, I'm going to be keeping these girls and building my portfolio. I can't give these away... Another empty tent and start again? Nope! We're on the road folks and these girls are at end of week 4 and looking juuuuust fine. I will be updating at start of week three, but will cover the previous weeks and Germination later on. I have limited pictures as I wasn't planning on actually keeping these... But I'll pick that up and show them in a better light from week 3 onwards๐. HA! I'm exited, been a long time since I've done an update...and it's actually my plant, in my house!๐
The Deets on Malanasa Cookies on Days 15-22 (Breeder notes will be included in germination when I have some time to update๐):
The Good:
-She's looking just dandy and I'm very impressed with her over health and vigor right now. She's shoring up and pumping some new laterals on her underside. Looks like we will need to do some preliminary training pretty soon here๐.
-I kinda feel she's going to be a very special plant and I'm already pretty excited to open up the tent every morning to see what she's doing. I tend to give her a close look before all the others. Pretty lady!
The 'Meh':
-It will be covered in Week 1 and 2 when I update them. Had some minor issues (you don't say...๐ ) but everything is on the up and up, at the moment. Zero complaints
Notes of the Week:
-Right off the bat, good to be back... Nice to have girls in the tent and seeing green everyday. I'll get a new set to my friend in time, fulfilling the agreement, but for now, it's just nice to have them around.
-Tent is full automated now, with Inkbird Wi-Fi line and Data Loggers in operation. Really nice not to have to touch anything! Ya, it costs money up front, but it's paying itself off in time I don't have to spend time manually opening and closing flaps, messing with everything, just to try and get some decent numbers, haha. Have cut the intake/outtake and supplementary heater power by 66% aswell, since it's been commissioned๐. No complaints.
-It wasn't on purpose, but I somehow fell into organics and it looks like I'll be 100% organics in the coming months. After some early problems, I turned to organic brands and super soils with great success and not sure if I even want to go back now... There is also a starter package of dry amendment, all organic nutrients I landed from a supplier/sponsor from EU that I'm greatly looking forward to using. After a few revelations, it just feels simpler this way. The end game was always to go organic, I just didn't expect to get into it so soon. Neat!๐
-Medicinal license is finally being processed. Got off my butt and did something I should have done the first day of legalization. I really hope to have upwards of three separate projects and units running in the next few months. It's in but who knows when it'll come back... Their window says 3 weeks to 4 months, lol! Thanks guys!๐
-Equipment listings and such will be listed in Week 1 or germination when I get to updating them๐
Thanks all for dropping by! Great to be back and writing novels again. I have spent a lot of time catching up with most everyone, but I do have a ways to go... Great to see everyone's kids and successes and I wish you even more over the coming week. Cheers and happy trails folks๐โ
**Super Special Note** Where's EVA 3? Good question. She's currently hanging in an empty unit, unplugged, and the equivalency project has been postponed indefinitely. I will update any further changes when/if they arrive. Throw me a PM for further enquiries๐
**Another, another! Special Note** After posting about the incident and the falling out with that couple I was growing with (for...) I received a message from @Polaskis (Exotic Seeds) expressing empathy for the loss of my previous girls. Exotic Seeds then generously offered me a test pack and free genetics for the trouble... Should go without saying, but I'm extremely grateful for this and the community right now. Whenever I fall, whether it was my fault or not, I am continually picked up and brushed off by fantastic people. It means a lot and a serious and genuine shoutout to @Exotic_Seed for their generosity๐
aaah stay calm no one mentioned your missing update๐ฌ, just Joking ,,, and yes I hope you still love her^^,,,,,,, the most undersetaminated ingredient of Growing,,,, LOOOOVE is the Answer
@Burmese, Cheers man๐. I should start showing more of the bad though, just so everyone can see the little problems I face and how to get out of it๐. I'll think about it anyway๐
@JinksyGrows,
Hi Bro,Everyone including me only want to show the best of his/her works.Itโs very understandable.At least I can see the best of the best... โ๏ธ
@Burmese, Haha, thanks man. But remember! It's kinda like Facebook and sometimes you only see them when they're at their best, hahaha๐. They have their days, trust me.
@Mrs_Larimar, Super happy with the game changer and not looking back. Treating me and the girls so well๐. Took some time but happy to have found the medium for me๐
@HAPPY91, Thank you kindly man๐. It wasn't looking too good there for a bit, but Holy crap did she blow up now. She's gonna be a great yeild for sure๐
@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks so much Mrs. Larimar. I'm thinking she'll be a treat tooโบ๏ธ. Girls are good and it's good to be back and growing with you all again. Cheers!๐
@JinksyGrows, I go up to 2 years without freezing. At that point I label, vac seal, and drop them in the freezer. They last A LONG time like that. Pollen too.
@TheOldHippie, Lol! Crazy right? Lots of generous people kicking around in the community and the industry ๐๐. I need the medicinal just to start using some up๐ . Keep collecting man! Curious, how do you store your seeds for longevity? I've been asking everyone๐
@JinksyGrows, Keep You Posted

I can recognize your Plants only by looking at them.
You could give me100 Pics of plants, i would know yours
You are " Branding " Them.. very well. They got a " Typical" shape
Keep on growing
@Mrs_Larimar, That's really cool to hear... With this round all 4 girls actually look quite similar, so I must be finding my style๐๐. The other day Silky said what I was doing was a quad line. I had no idea there was a name for kinda what I was doing๐. It creates bubbles and that's alllll I want๐
@Mrs_Larimar, She is soooo impressive and a Queen ๐ indeed. I have very high hopes for these exoticseed genetics and can't wait for my sample pack to come in for more beans from them ... Its sooo good๐๐
