King Tut

All five have germinated. Peat pots placed into fabric pots with Foxfarm Happy Frog. Distilled Water. So far so good! Update at end of week 1: 5/5 looking healthy and happy. Added an oscillating fan to strengthen them up a bit, they're responding well. So far happy with ~ 100ml per day (thanks @Bulbi !) plus occasionally misting. Room temp seems to hover around 80-83, RH 43-50ish. It's just in the corner of a laundry room with the door closed, no tent.

Pleased with the progress. Added a small oscillating fan on Friday last week so only 50% of an oscillation cycle hits them. They seem to be appreciating the slight movement. Main stems thickening, a few nodes looking healthy.

Looking good to me. I'm curious why they seem low and bushy - not concerned, but so many other similar-aged plants look taller and thinner. I had lights at about 24" and just moved them up to 36" which seems to have facilitated some height. Stems look good too. Still only 100 ml per plant per day which they seem to like. End of week update: I topped OG1 and 2 and FIM'd the others on Tuesday. All have rebounded and remain happy

Great progress at the end of Week 4. Topped the OGs last Wednesday and FIM'd KT1, KT2 and Blueberry. All recovering well, though I wasn't so sure at first. Transplanted into final homes (7 Gl) last Sunday, everybody came through like a champ. Thanks for looking and happy growing! Edit: Snuck in some LST on OG2. Not the prettiest but I think it will hold up. Also thought OG2 would suffer on the side there away from the light but somehow she's the tallest with the thickest stalk. Curious to see where it goes

Week five was great. Lots of new growth, took a stab at some LST on the OGs as they were really shooting up. All three strains are in the same environment with same soil and water. It's interesting to see how different they are. The two OGs seem to have happily taken the topping and are off and running with two nice new colas. The Blueberry FIM was weird - all the new growth came out twisty with round leaf tips. Everyone is green and healthy but they're taking their time. The two KT FIMS were pretty good; one looks like a 3 (maybe 4) -headed hydra and the other one seems more symmetrical. It's all just for fun until they go outside and it's totally out of my hands. Few more weeks. Thanks for reading Happy Growing

Week Six in the books with some drama. Noticed some burning on a few leaves on KT1 and after lots of research decided it was the lights. I moved the whole light rig over about a foot and raised the height and there's new growth all around that seems happy. Everybody else is humming along too. Blueberry growing well in the back but still putting out oddly-shaped nodes with twisty, rounded leaves. Totally healthy and thriving, just seems to be doing her own thing. One of the main colas after the FIM looks like it's splitting itself into 3, see pic. It's still too cool and rainy to harden them for outside but I'm hoping to get them out there soon within the next 2-3 weeks.

Interesting week. I was starting to get concerned that KT1 was anemic and Blueberry still growing strangely. Blue was a FIM but ever since recovery (4 weeks now) it's grown kind of spirally? I seem to have created some sort of mutant. Growing well and healthy, just looks strange. Hoping she explodes somehow. It finally dawned on me to use a little more of the space I have available and spread them out a bit. Also increased watering to go more by 'feel'; not so much the weight of the pot but getting more of a touch around how much they need and how often. Both of those seem to have helped this week - everybody has perked up, grown up and out and seem to appreciate a little more (literal) breathing room. Oscillating fan passes by them too. Not too worried about a canopy as these are all going outside in the next two weeks or so, Southern Ontario. Thanks for looking and happy growing!

Another good week. Saw maybe 5" of growth unofficially. Blueberry leading the pack for sure. They went outside today for their first rays of sunshine now that the Southern Ontario weather has decided to cooperate for a while. Hoping for a few multi-hour visits outside over the weekend and outside full time early next week. Thanks for looking!

What a roller coaster. Hardened the plants a few days over last weekend, they went out permanently last Sunday. It’s been unseasonably hot here all week and no rain. Started to see a lot of stress on 3 plants. Surprisingly- the two King Tuts which I had the highest hopes for are the weakest by far. Blueberry and OG2 are great. OG1 was a little stressed and she was gifted to my brother as I can only grow 4 anyway First rain expected today so I’ll cover them a bit until I can get cages around others or maybe stakes. Also added a little bit of FoxFarm Big Bloom to the two KTs to see if that helps at all. It’s interesting to try different things with different plants and seeing how they respond Loving the fabric pots - easy to move around for whatever reason and they drain really well. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Big temperature swing here in Southern Ontario this week. Last week it was 28-33 C during the day, today it's currently 4 C and raining. Added a second cage to OG to join Blue. KT1 and KT2 are bouncing back still, nice new abundant growth. Seems like some of the damaged leaves recovered but some have given up. Gave a heavy feed of FoxFarm Big Bloom which they all seem to appreciate. Thanks for looking

Happy Friday. Another good week, it cooled down to low 20s with a nice breeze and everyone was happy. This week's winner seems to be KT2 who exploded sideways and up. She got a FIM originally on April 7 which seems to be working really well. KT1 got the same but I F'd the FIM and it ended up being kind of nothing, not even a lousy top. I'm happy to leave it and see what happens, she's showing nice growth. OG and Blue still growing tall and showing lots of bud sites. Going to be a scorcher this week in the mid-30s for a few days so I expect big wind and heavy rain mid-next week so I'll have to keep them moving. Happy to have them (staying) in 7-gal. I can't grow monsters anyway and I can still move these easily enough. Thanks for looking and happy growing!

KT1 wins the week with the most growth. She's the one I messed up the FIM and it didn't really top or FIM so I have a little Christmas tree going. KT2 liked the FIM and is spreading out sideways, lots of good bud sites. I need to get a cage around the two KTs this week as they've caught up to the other two. Weather has been great, everyone seems happy. Thanks for looking and happy growing! 👊

Lots of rain this week and they loved it. KT1 burst into second place height-wise. Lots of great growth all around, quite happy

Decent week, lots of growth. Pretty sure Blueberry is starting to flower, we're just past the summer solstice here. No problems, pests or issues to report. Thanks for looking Happy Growing

Very happy to see buds everywhere. OG averaging about 4” of growth per week, currently shining at 62”. Blueberry still the heartiest of the group - thickest stalks, most dense clusters. Was thicc from the start. KT2 happy in the cage and producing lots of bud sites. KT1 is the mangly freestyle bush. Curious to see the difference between them.

Good week. Lots of rain, OG shot up 6" to a whopping 68". Everybody happy and well hydrated. I used to have a perspective on how big these will get but now I have no idea whatsoever, lol. I know they'll fill out during flower but will they just keep going up indefinitely? Thanks for looking Happy Growing!

Late update as I was away last week. Had some watering coverage but came home to some very sad, droopy plants after a hot humid weekend. After a good thirsty drink and some gentle caressing and whispering everybody looks very happy this morning. Quick little sip of Tiger Bloom and they're drinking the sunshine. I've given up measuring height, OG well over 6 feet at this point. Thanks for looking

Happy to report no problems. Interested in the two very different growth patterns of the King Tuts; one successfully FIM’d and in a cage and the other I F’d up the FIM and she’s just growing on her own but completely differently Thanks for looking

Placeholder week - was away and no update

Missed a week as I was away. Everyone happy, though flowering seems paused. Lots of sites and healthy overall but seems to have slowed up. Thanks for looking

It’s been hot and humid this week, some days needed a double water in these 7 gallons but everyone’s okay. OG definitely lagging behind in the flower department- they’re starting but slowly. KTs and Blue are well on their way

Great flowers this week. Had to put a stake in with KT1 for support. Had some strong winds and OG was a little dry apparently so the base wasn’t too heavy and over she went. Luckily she’s late to flower and the cage helped a lot so there was no harm done at all. Blueberry still holds the blue ribbon for now, just thick dense colas, great aroma and an overall healthy looking pheno. And it was a freebie- thanks @CanukSeeds. Everyone enjoying this tasty Southern Ontario late summer Happy growing

Hot and humid again. Some days feeling like 40C, so everyone drank heartily. Cleared away a bunch of foliage on all four to open up some airflow and light near the bottom. KTs starting to look a little frosty Happy Growing!

Disaster struck. Lost a whole main cola on Blueberry. My best forensic investigation of the crime scene has determined that one of the many squirrels in my backyard jumped from an overhang. So upset but the rest of it looks happy KT1 getting very frosty and smelling great. OG tall as ever, into flower but taking her sweet time. Late summer has brought cool temps to Southern Ontario and they seem to like it Thanks for looking - happy growing

Crazy weather this week in Southern Ontario. Tornado watches and Severe Thunderstorms. Added extra supports to 3 girls and was able to bring one inside the garage for safe keeping. Kept everyone safe amd weather is clear for a while now Looks like KTs are 2-3 weeks away maybe. Blue not far behind but OG still taking her time. Thanks for looking

Still banging. Weather dried up and winds calmed down, everyone fatter and happy. Looks close but still a few weeks I think. Happy harvesting

More damage this week. I noticed WPM early in the week and seem to have gotten it under control right in time for torrential rain. OG is simply too tall for her 7 gal and went down, breaking an arm in the process. KTs are very close. This week supposed to be dry all the way so I may be chopping next week Good luck with the harvest if you’re outdoors

Well it’s finally chop time for the KTs. I’ve held off some bud rot and wpm as long as I could but these girls have to come in. As a first timer the huge, dense colas on KT were exciting but I’ve learned how that can be trouble Blue still taking her time and OG is close. They’re calling big rain Saturday night and Sunday and next weekend I may not have much time so here we go! Next number of weeks should be interesting Good luck out there

Well, I've almost made it to the finish line. Finally brought down the two KTs. Was A LOT more work than I anticipated and the magic wore off quickly! After hours and hours of trimming and some easy drying at about 73 F and 63 RH. About 8 days for the KTs, then another trim and jarred them up. Scale was acting up a bit but my count is 10.4 ounces dry between 2 plants. Happy with the yield. Am currently a little concerned that it doesn't smell like much. Didn't over dry, didn't quickly dry. In jars the RH is showing 61 or 62. Really hoping some individual character comes back to them! Will return to update smoke report. OG and Blueberry still drying.
