Adding a bloom booster to this week's watering, they don't look like they changed much from last week. but I will check the time lapse movie to see what is happening, looks like they are ready for a big PK Cal mag blast as the last feeding until week 12. i am hopeing these will turn purple. with out the cold treatment.

Week 4 update - had to list it as a flower week as we flipped em half way through. Exotic wasn’t lying - the spicy bitches hit maturity rather quickly and we now have a guaranteed 2 males and 3 females - perfect ratio score👌👍. Balls started showing in a span of 12-36 hours. One of the females entered flower early so she may be a dud, an auto or just stressed for some unusual reason. We’ll probably either separate er or let it grow with the rest and pitch it. Won’t be using that seed knowing that underlying issue. Similarly, one of the males has also demonstrated some fan leaf mutation - I actually like this kind of variation and it makes things interesting so bonus there👍. The rest of em are doing just fine. So god damned nice to have a run that’s on a quick schedule to finish within 3 months. It’s been a long year for the pollen chuck and we’re really looking forward to the upcoming all fem. Run. For now though - conditions look ripe for a bunch of awesome crosses, any one of which could be pure 🔥. Till next week yall🤟. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way she's growing :( I supposed that my plant problem is the over watering. So no I inserted an air pipe directly in the rockwool cube to give more oxygen to the roots and let they get more nutrients. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: IN THE NEXT SET UP ADD A STONE WITH AIR PUMP DIRECTLY IN THE BASKET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will leave the pipe all night and see how the plant will look tomorrow. Cross fingers.

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad an feed/water. +++++++++++ I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprai gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic the use sprayers to create. It’s great. +++++++++++ I’m using some baking soda in water to combat some mild pmd, but it’s not bad. +++++++++++ These ICE BOMBS are troopers. They were definitely affected by the spider mites but hung in there three the various sprays which were hard on leaves even though I pulled them out and didn’t return them under the light until they dried. +++++++++++ Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower.

So, start of week 7...... At the moment I can't give you exact feeding amount, because I have to adapt to every plant differently, due to the different deficiencies. Plants look good though, the cherry cola buds start smelling and it's awesome, can't wait to test. The bigbud will take longer if I see bud development. But holy, they seem to be good yielders. Just curious to see how fat they will become. Update day 46 After some days of individual feeding the problem seems to be more or less settled. Only the big bud get extra nitrogen, cause it looks like they inhale it like I will do to their buds later:) So here is the 2 feeding schemes I am using now......All calculated per litre......the now receive about 750ml-1l of nutrition, besides the normal watering Sorry, I tried editing the format so it is clear which ammount belongs to which nutrient, didnt really work out.......only biogrow has two different ammounts.... Biogrow 1.5ml / 5ml Algamic 2ml CalMag 0.5ml Biobloom 4ml Topmax 4ml Canna TraceAmix 1ml And now imagine, I had to give them even more for about 2 weeks, as they were showing increasing deficiencies. This is by far the hungriest bunch of Ladies that I have grown. As far as I can guess from today, I think I will have to harvest on 2 different dates unfortunately. This really wasnt the plan and needs extra investing in another filter/vent for drying. Well, so I am forced to use my second tent, really horrible,lol........I already see me vegging while blooming haha. 3 cherries will be finished at week 10, the other one (the cripple I mentioned during vegetation) will need about two weeks more. I gues she will finish together with the bigbud. Concerning the "cripple" I have to say, it is not due to bad genetic......This one was just very sensitive with the ammount of light she got the first 2 weeks and this made her very slow in her development. About the bigbud I also made a mistake which was pretty stupid I guess.........She showed gender and I switched nutrition, but with the same ammount as the cherry cola, not keeping in mind she will need a bit longer and therefor needs to be fed differently. I guess that caused the problem for her. Well, we never stop learning, as long as our Name is not Donald J Trump..... What else can I say...........in an hour and a half the light will turn on and this time wont pass by, as I am fucking curious....... update day 47 Well, it is freakin insane........I increased watering level to 2,5 l per plant........like 1l pure water and then 1,5 nutrition.........cant believe myself. Fucking junkies,lol...............I will see what they did until tomorrow. But it looks like, they just can^^ Besides, I would love to live in this tent right now.......I am "checking" like 5 times a day and it seems they always get just a little bt bigger......IT maybe due to my passion got lost for many years....since I didnt want legal problems and so on.....I just feel happy in my element.........I just love it........good grow to everyone with the same kind of passion..........you guys know its so,nothing special (and I dont mean my ladies, just the general approach from real growers) So, here is another lyric I written I dont remember when....... When time is passing slowly The holy day comes near We´re waiting, hesitating Being nervous, awful fear It gives me joy to watch it But now all must disappear Slowly 3 long month have passed And now my dear.... I cut your head off! And your arms! The smooth smoke She makes me calm This is why I love my palm As I comfort them They get older During childhood And adolescence Until grown up They get much bolder But now I need the essence Of my love, my work, my stress I never mind and will confess I am a legal criminal And so I say Jah bless

Всем привет друзья! Как я и говрил, что попалась прекрасная генетика. Растние растёт не по дням а по часам. Почему то у меня уже впечатление что у меня не автик, а фотик Ведь возможно, что стрельную гены пра-прабабушки) это конечно лирика, но его ровестники уже цыетут Посмотрим как пройдёт слудущая неделя Жду цвета Всем мира и добра!

Ive made so many mistakes, nevertheless the plant still goes on. Humidity is too high here, almost 93%, so i only have to water it once a week.

2024-07-02 The Indoor tangie shows lots of lovely buds, and she looks alittle hungry, so i started to feed her additonally to the Topdressing this week Girl looks great. BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Not much has happened since last update 2 weeks ago (expect growth obviously). She is growing well and with ease. Only problem was that one branch snapped a little bit. Had to support it to another branch with binding thread. No visible damage other than the slightly snapped branch. Happy growing everyone
