Hello Growmies, As the seventh week of cultivation unfolds, our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids are dazzling in their mid-flowering stage, carrying a symphony of scents that entice the senses. Residing alongside their Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding counterparts, these plants are halfway through their flowering journey, with an anticipated five more weeks to reach full maturation. The Watermelon Candy specimens, exhibiting their genetic prowess, have embraced the halfway mark with a robust vigor, their canopies dense and vibrant. The sweet fragrance wafting from their flowering sites is indicative of the quality to come. With dense trichome production already visible, the promise of potent, flavorful buds is on the horizon. Plant #1 stands out with its substantial vertical growth and impressive bud structure, clearly benefiting from the steady environmental conditions provided by the Tent-X system. Plant #2, while slightly more subdued, showcases a well-balanced structure, promising a generous yield. Plant #3's wide-reaching canopy is a sight to behold, with each branch heavily laden with budding sites. This week's feeding schedule has been adjusted to a five-day interval, ensuring our plants receive the nutrients they need without overburdening them. The nutrient mixture remains a carefully calibrated blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, providing a perfect balance to support their flowering needs. As we maintain the PPFD levels at a hearty 450-500, we continue to monitor and adjust our environment, ensuring that the VPD remains within the ideal range. The TrolMaster's data logs are a testament to our dedication, reflecting the precision with which we approach the cultivation process. Observing the photos, the plants display a unified strength and symmetry, thriving under our attentive care. The internodal spacing, the structure of the stems, and the onset of floral clusters all point towards a successful cultivation cycle. Looking ahead, we anticipate the continued development of these Watermelon Candy Hybrids, each day bringing us closer to a harvest that promises both quantity and quality. Our diligent efforts, combined with the collective wisdom of our community, continue to guide us toward a successful harvest. Stay lifted, Salokin

Here's her weekly update. Dawg Daze at Day71/W10 from seed . She just ended her 5th week of flowering. She standing at 22 inches tall after some final LST training on the side colas. Removed some lower fan leaves that where not getting light. Kept the temps between (day)80°-65° (night). And kept the humidity at 30%-45% I removed my companion plant pot to lower the humidity level and give more space for growth since she's reaching her final weeks of flowering .. grown in a 3x3x5 tent under 2x 100w closet case LED in a 3 gallon smart pot. Using kindsoil supersoil only with cocoloco bush doctor and Fed only Tap water every 2 days as needed. She's starting to fatten up now n her scent coming off her is sweet with a hint of lemon. She's starting to pick up some purple violet color on the leaves . Excited to see her finish. .will update next week on her growth. Enjoy.

Week 9 is here and we are looking at harvesting! After checking the trichomes of just the top colas, I decided this week I was going to harvest. I am updating this post after I have dried and harvested the plant so do not have much more details. I flushed the plant this week with Flora Kleen along with terpinator and microbes. I cut down the plants and hung them up in the tent to dry using a clothes hanger with clips I got off of Amazon. It took 10 days to dry the bud and my temps and humidity would fluctuate throughout the day and night. I stayed in the mid to low 70s for temperature and humidity was at 50% at first. Then I added a humidifier and had it dry in 60% humidity. Will update the rest in the harvest update.

i came back home after 5 Days and it seems pretty Bad, the Humidity was extrem high and there was water drops all over the walls of the grow tent, the Soil was even less moist compared to the Humidity of the tent was the Soil Dry ! All my plants kept some Damage except of Applestrudel there was such a high Humidity that even Roots came out of the Stamb and grew in Air !!! after all she just had a few burnt leaf tips and thats it. After this Excident i finaly installed an Airfan and hope that this Problem wont continue. I continued with Lst and super cropped some branches, the plant is pretty even but there are tons of side branches, i am not sure if i should let them grow or should I cut them of like a Lollipopping ? Please let me know about your Opinion and Expiriences ! Is it Normal that she's still not really showing Flower pistols or other signs of Flower begin ? This Strain or at least Pheno is Amazing i can Pretty much do whatever i want to Her LST/Defoliation/Supercrop/Humidity-stress and she Always bounced back after a couple of Day like nothing Happend to Her, i am Pretty Happy with all my Fastbuds genetics !!!

DAY63 WEEK9 = Impatiently waiting till harvest time 😘 Beautiful to enjoy the plants ripening and finishing 😍😍😍 Congrats to BIOTABS, because their tablest are really superb 🙏 I'm super satisfied 😁😁😁 Wedding Gelato, Triple G, and Cookies Gelato are completely ripe.👍😃 All their buds are rockhard 💪😖 👉 Cookies Gelato have become completely purple with beautiful piled buds and orange pistils, and looks delicious. Smells of berries and 😵 👉 Wedding Gelato has round buds (easy to trim) with mixed colors : gold, brass, brown, yellow, red and green colors with orange pistils 😊 Fine and accessible smell, pleasant and no overbearing 😄 🙏 👉 Triple G will be the hardest to trim, because of her quirky shaped buds. She has big internodes and big buds scattered across her tall sturdy stalks. Beautiful buds, a pleasure for the eyes. Her smell is pungent, sometimes narcotic even. She will get you stoned in no time 😋 👉 Liberty Haze could have another week. But she lacks some nitrogen; watch her leaves turn yellow, and make her taste sooo soft 👻 She hasn't any purple or red colors, only green and yellow. Her buds are leafy, not that firm, but volumineus. She's soo sweet, with hints of lime. 😘 I defoliated the plants in week 3 because I had to treat the plants against spider mites. Because of this, the plants had fewer leaves, the light could penetrate much deeper and now the lower buds are ripen as well 🙏. I will continue to apply this technique in the future. 👍👍👍 These will be the last pictures before harvesting 😍

Week 27 - 4 weeks into the new flower cycle and bud development is a lot more advanced, much earlier post-transition too. It’d be great if these finished out early as we’ve got some extra cuts on the white widow that may need a home in a few weeks. Couldn’t resist - it’s such a vigorous plant that we’re gonna keep it for the next pollen chuck if the schedule aligns. Chopped out a massive amount of larf from the undercarriage and we were ruthless here due to super high humidity and ideal conditions for botrytis. Still hoping on some useable seed and/or bud but this whole thing has been touch and go since the partial reveg. Alls good for now. Thanks for take’n a look. As for the outdoor… meh. Like everyone around here we’ve fallen victim to far too much sustained rain recently and the WPM on the strawberry has really set in. The harvest window has cracked open slightly with about 2 weeks to peak. Still waiting on chop day though so it’s 50/50 if there’ll be anything usable on this plant. In a last ditch effort to get er to the end we’re gonna strip most of her fan leaves now. That’ll alleviate the WPM somewhat (in combo with a daily peroxide spray). We’ll likely chop early too. The bud wash should greatly assist with and offset any lingering small amounts but she’s gotta get there first and this strain is not known for mold resistance. Time will tell. The Lost Coast OG - an absolute champ. Lush and green, came through the rains just fine and should be a great smoke when it’s all said and done. Not long for either now - should be better part of 2 weeks for the strawberry and then whenever the og says fini👍. Background/Repetitive Nonsense These plants will be the two mothers this growing season that will be utilized for stage 2 of the pollen chucking project. We’ll be taking clones and stressing the genetics for some fem. pollen using colloidal silver. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with landrace genetics, we’re effectively skipping initial hybrid crossing and stabilization, going straight to the polyhybrid mix. I call it the shotgun approach to selective, unvetted and amateur breeding on a micro scale😉. These 2 parent strains will form the basis for 8-10 different F1 polyhybrid combinations and a further S1 back cross of each of the mothers. Not only should we be able to preserve the genetics for both mothers in feminized form but we’ll also be running an entire family of new hybrids after seeding out clones from each on the initial lineup of this summers photoperiods. Method is pretty simple here; once we’ve got our pollen off the two mothers we’ll be clipp’n clones on 4 select strains that have proven results from various respected breeders. We’ll be using those for pollination purposes in what is expected to be a 10 plant recirculating Dutch bucket hydro system. ***Update*** The feminization process didn’t take at all with the strawberry or the Skywalker so it’ll be reg. Seed crosses with only Skywalker and some other 707 Headband that we have in the vault. ********* Strain details: Parent strains for self pollination - Skywalker Kush by Reserva Privada Classic kush effects and earthy aroma. The strong kush element of this cultivar will compliment any cross. - Spliffs Strawberry by Spliff Seeds Incredible mix of flavourful terpenes and hard hitting high THC. She’s got some Herer as well as some Diesel in ‘er so an obvious choice for any cross as well. ***UPDATE*** The strawberry had to come out of this breeding run to wait for a better mother that hasn’t been attacked by aphids. It’s been a tough battle this season and we’ve had to make a couple of heartbreaking sacrifices already. Parent Strains for cross pollination ***UPDATE*** We added another 2 strains to the mix just in case we need to spot swap for some more variety. - Ghost Train by AMS Seeds A cross of Alien OG x Ghost Train Haze. Never tried the strain but I’ve heard only good things. This one might be worth mixing with the Strawberry so we’ll see how it goes. ***UPDATE*** Sadly - the ghost train turned out to be an auto so cloning her out as part of the breeding project is a no-go. Really disappointed about this but at least we still have a ready backup strain on the lost coast og to take her place. - Boogie Nights by AMS Seeds A cross of Kalijah, aka afghani/skunk/diesel/blue heaven X Juanita, aka NYC Diesel/Reina Madre). No idea here so naturally I’m interested😉. ************** - Lost Coast OG by Emerald Triangle Pakistani Kush x Lemon Thai x Chemdawg #4. Essentially a classic, west coast combo of landrace kush genetics that Cali is famous for, mixed with hard hitting Chemdawg #4. ***UPDATE*** The Lost Coast is a winner of a plant. Still outdoors and in veg. Looks like it’s recovered from the aphid attack. Might consider trying to take another cut of this and just rooting it in a pot for pollination. At this point, what the hell and if we could salvage anything it would be a positive. *****update: got lazy and taking a cut never happened… so dumb - this plant is amazingly resilient and thicka than a snicka!****** - Spliffs Blueberry by Spliff Seeds (Chocolate Thai x Afghani #1 x Highland Oaxaca) x Northern Lighhts Special. Only 1 bean of this left and the whole purpose is to blend the best of Spliffs Berry strains as a tribute. Awesome breeder and they’ve been very kind to us over the years. - Northern Light by Royal Queen Seeds NL means nuff said. A combo of 11 unknown strains believed to originate from the west coast of North America. This cultivar is a great take on these classic genetics and a perfect compliment to just about any cross. A biased fave of ours.👍 - White Widow by Seedsman Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica. This classic strain has been unluckily elusive for us the last couple years. We know the quality of seedsmans version of this cultivar having grown it in the past. Sadly, a very strong performer that never made it to harvest due to an uncontrollable aphid infestation. And we’re only at step 1.... still gonna need an assist with pheno hunting all of the crosses so if anyone’s interested in running the testers (when we finally get to that point) just let me know👍😎. *****Update - plagues by issue after issue and having this project go an extra 6 weeks at least has been frustrating as fuck. Still on the way to chop as I write and really unlikely we’ll be pulling seed off this run. Big time bummer but it is what it is. Lessons learned, move on👍.**** Gonna be a Dope ass summer project and can’t wait to see it in full swing🤟. Thanks for stopp’n in y’all👊

i was surprised that she was done on 2/15/25 spidermites had completely taken over one bud so i decided to check trichomes and she seemed ready.
