Week 2 of veg is in the books. Despite making some changes and dropping back to a 300w fixture, also upping the nute ratios - growth has been pretty decent for a single first week of veg. Got some yellowing on the leaves which is somewhat concerning. Again, hopefully rectified now that we’ve regulated to more acceptable temps and humidity. All are fairly uniform to start and the new bucket system has been issue free which is a bonus. Figure another week to the fim and then another week of veg before the flip. All on pace to get em to flower as quick as possiblešŸ‘Œ. We’ll cull as soon as able - if we pick up 3/4 spaces after losing the males that would greatly assist to free up some more space elsewhere and move in some new fems that have been backlogged recently. Finally back to focusing on quality buds and it’s and great feelingšŸ‘. Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.

Still don't know if it's a MALE or female? But I'm excited for my next year grow outside. The climate i live in I didn't think a weed would thrive outside but this one is. Praying it's a female so i can see how flowering stage handles the out doors. Our summer are mild and it gets chilly at night but it seem to be ok with the climate so next year I am going to plant at least 3 outside and see what happens

got these clones of wedding cake from a local grow buddy, Thought I had room for them indoors but I was wrong. So outside they go for the year. They really wanted to reach for the sky indoors lets see how they do outdoors!

La gorila glue con sus hojas llenas de resina, he cultivado 6 semillas antes de la misma variedad y puedo ver hasta el momento una cepa estable. Las big bud entraron en mayor observación dado a que dejaron de engordar dos. La Mack va como avión, a pesar de todo lo que se podo al entrar a floración estiró hasta igualar a la Gorila y llenando los brotes de cogollos

4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside). Clones from my clone guy. 1000w LED, 4G Autopots, coco/perlite 65/35, RO water, Jacks RO, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension. Garage grow SoCal We concluded the ripening this week with AC and dehumidification at 70° 40% relative humidity lights on and 65° and 45% relative humidity lights off. We’re feeding Jacks RO and silica to the end, hence the fan leaves are still relatively healthy. This is a no flush grow. I’ve n been growing at 80% lights (800w) for most of the Grow. During ripening, I pushed it to 90% or 900 W. On the final day, I run the lights 24 hours and I run 15 minute cycles of 900 W and 1000 W. Just following the science; No more flushing and push the lights higher and higher at the end. We started a slow chop to fine tune the quality and get more light deeper into the canopy. After 4 more days of testing and monitoring they were ready, it all came down and we filled the 6-tier drying rack. We’re curing At 70° and 55% relative humidity for two days and then bumping that humidity to 62%. The test round (top colas) is already in jars and beginning the burping stage. FiancĆ© is happy, the hard work is coming to an end, and it’s time to start enjoying the fruits of our labor. Best of luck on your grow.

Raised the height of the grow lights and highed the light output, threw all the autos into one tent for the time being as they love lfe in there over than in the cupboard! but ill get around to making the cupboard I have spare into a space to grow again. All.of the plants are doing great really, one purpe punch isnt doing to well im going to flush her then feed half the dose of nutes that i have been already feeding her. šŸ’ššŸ¤˜

Hello Growers and Tokers! Welcome to another run where I'll be testing something from a local breeder. The cultivar is Orange Apricot x Mimosa from Mallorca Breeders. This cultivar is a treat, I've had the delight of smoking this grown from the actual breeder. If it comes out anything like that I'll be more than happy. Frosty buds, very oily, very tasty, very hard, very nice, very everything! It was a 10/10 smoke Let's hope we have a 10/10 grow to have some 10/10 nugs. Strain description from breeder: Genetic Background: Orange Apricot x Mimosa Type: Feminized Sativa 50% Indica 50% THC: CBD: Yield Indoor : gr/m2 Height Indoor: 0 - 0 cm Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks ( 55 - 60 days) Aroma: 
Effect: Expectations and training method: I know these genetics are a bit delicate so I’ll be taking things very easy. 
The breeder suggests waiting until the fan leaves come out to decide the training technique. If the fan leaves are thinner then it’s leaning more towards Orange Apricot and will be a bit more sativa and has more ramifications so most likely LST. Thicker fan leaves would be leaning towards Indica which is what I actually want, the Mimosa side. Breeder recommends topping this Pheno to increase yields. Let’s hope they’re Mimosa leaning.. 
 As for the yields I’m not expecting more than 40 grams per plant but always shooting for more. I’ve already smoked this strain grown by the breeder and other local breeders, which is what made me want to grow it myself. I expect nothing but trichomes and terps from these ladies. Equipment used in this cycle: Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm Lights: 1 x Mars Hydro TSW2000 1 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Ventilation: Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm Humidifier: Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots Medium: Biobizz Light Mix Nutrients: Grotek - Mycrorizo Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar. PH down Calmag Measuring instruments: Hygrometer/Thermometer - Govee: EC Meter - HM Digital: COM-80S Hydrotester PH Meter - Vanguard Hydroponics Happy Growing! 😃

8/22/2021 - Did some mid-flower defoliation to increase airflow and to prevent mold and mildew. - Split the top right main from trying to train her down and spread out the canopy, supporting with tape and twist ties. 8/23/2021 - Top right main is still vigorous after split.

This week we are helping this lady to grow even more using plenty of techniques to boost its power and to redirect its energy to the main colas we are working on... We gonna wait a little bit until it gets packed again to start defoliation once more, in the meantime we continue to add nutes and water frequently as schedule in our program so we can get the best of her Hopefully, she will get real good Alright guys did you see what we did on the 21 st? We want this girl to grow and give us its best yield :) let's see if we can achieve it

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

* ********* Week 5, May 9 to 15, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination ********** * We are calling this week 1 of flower. Definite signs of preflower on the girls. They are doing well in overcoming the transplant into plastic pots. The pH is still a concern and messing things up from a nice normal feeding pattern. They are nice and green though and will work through this all because they are healthy overall. They are a fair bit larger at the end of the week than they were at the start of the weekšŸ˜€ GSC flushed hard at the start of the week to help combat the pH which is still high. She was given over 40L to help lower. Sorry Fast Buds.......grower not setting this one on firešŸ˜ž Little more detail coming....... May 9/20 - Day 29 - 2L given to each girl with Massive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag, Piranha, Voodoo, Rezin, Liquid Wt @ 1ml = 1000ppm and 5.1pH - Runoff numbers today: - GSC - 330ppm and 7.2pH - GSC2 - 335ppm with 7.2pH - the pH is not coming down as I expected.....WTF????? - flushed GSC in evening - GSC given first 18L at 5.6pH and next 16L at 4.7pH - run off only came down to 6.2 with 100ppm May 10/20 - Day 30 - 2L feeding for GSC girl with VeloKelp, Vitathrive @ 2ml, CalMag, Dual Fuel, Piranha @ 1ml = 650ppm and 4.4pH - let the pH low in feed as well, - GSC is 7ā€ tall now. - GSC2 was not fed. May 11/20 - Day 31 - each girl given 1.5L of feed with VeloKellp, Rezin, Liquid Wt @ 1ml/L, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 900ppm and 4.3pH - GSC2 has been a couple of days so she soaked up all the water. She is perky today....not bigger though - GSC is getting taller adn wider. He is looking really wide today. May 12/20 - Day 32 - dry out day - left them alone today May 13/20 - Day 33 - day out day - pots are still heavy. - giving them a second day off. May 14/20 - Day 34 - mixed 7L water with Massive @ 3m, Rezin @ 2ml, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Rhino Skin, CalMag @ 1ml = 1075ppm and 5.3pH. - GSC was given 4L - runoff was 275ppm and 6.5pH - GSC2 was given 3L - runoff was 300ppm and 6.5pH - Things seem to be okay with the numbers.........pH is still a little high though. - GSC had lower growth trimmed to clean her up. - Starting silica today with Rhino Skin to help firm up the branches. - GSC2 is very small and she is set over to one side of the pot........no LST neededšŸ˜‚ May 15/20 - Day 35 - dry out day - tips are not up 100% so we keep working at itšŸ‘šŸ˜ƒ

Week 21 - It's a JUNGLE! I'm back and OMG! She's so big! Not only tall.... but... ROUND! I couldnt fit her into a picture, so did a video instead. Wow! She is really something! My Gardena autmatic AI watering system is working wonders. Fed her some nutrients today but I'm not sure I want her to grow more. The colas are taking shape, the buds are beginning to swell. Can't wait to taste these nugs

Been a working week! Defoliated twice! First I did lower fan leaves, waited a few days and snipped the Rest to allow light to reach all news growth! Dynomyco is a banger it’s got these girls so sturdy! Just look at the stems and how much growth I have already and this is just day 28 in veg! A lot more to come! I can’t wait! Still continuing with foliar sprays a few times a day!
