Cold weather slowing things done a bit

Week 2 of flower roughly and all plants have begun the shift to cotton balls. Except for the males of course but, they’re grown som hefty sacks also😉. As it turns out we have 3 males, not 2. That might present an option to harvest pollen off one of em to actually save for future use. We’ll see how it goes. Other than that - all plants are performing generally well. Certainly we’ll enough to make some seed babies so let’s get to it. I figure nuts start bust’n in about 2 weeks or so yall! Giddy up and slap dat ass - we gotta make ourselves some bit ‘o awesome😎. 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 🔥🤟😎👍.

such an beautyful strain! the colors are really outstanding and the scent is incredible! loads of resin production on this one, not the highest yield but insane quality!

Just beginning 3rd week of flower. This will be the last of the trimming of any branches reaching out from the plant. If you haven't subscribed.. Now's the time!

Well tied the girls down some more and did some FIM here and there. Expecting growth to explode once the plants have finished making new roots, and the microbes get their wheels rolling on all the amendments. Then out the door they go into the pot patch.

It's just officially week 8 day 56 fron flip. Been on 10/14 schedule this week too. My select strain i kept clones of are very vigorous and u can still see some hairs on leaves. Also perfect buds. Early cut test makes u go in another universe. Both are sweet but the select one is mossy n sweet hint cheese maybe thats the best one. Other one is sweet af even before cure like skittlez but the shape n yield aint good foxy n small :( the other one has a taste that is rare and denser very long trichomes. Anywho from here i givem non npk goodies then ro flush few days before chop. If they are not finished b4 contest to mt taste, ill harvest like half of the branches or something....they'll get their pics and ad.

8/23/2025- Emptied and refilled resevoir with the above nutes. Nuggets are smelling stinky now and looking good but I have to be transparent in identifying mistakes, not reporting them only fucks myself in future grows. I have snapped several plants stalks and folded them under my lights as they just grew above the lights to the ceiling. I hated doing this but I simply ran out of room and didnt do any topping or training. That aside, I see lots of fat colas and stinky nuggets, I just blew the sativas a bit by letting them get too damn tall.

Well this plant is starting to take off exponentially in her new pot. I may have to do a big round of topping to keep her height down as I want to have the option to cover her up with the structure she is under and she is getting damn close to being to tall at this point as I anticipate there is going be some stretch once she starts to flower. I have done a bunch of cleanup of lower and inner growth this week but she seems like she almost needs more again lol. I can’t wait to see this lady in flower. 😎🍿🍻🌱

Este pequeño monstruo se desarrolla bien, casi como lo que estoy buscando, quiza me pase en la cantidad de agua y a las raices les cuesta mas coronar la taza, la proxima vez no pecare de exceso de agua, en cuanto a la cantidad de nutrientes lo llevo bien, se puede observar en el desarrollo de la planta, 1, 3, 5 hojas y asi sucesivamente. 📅 Dia 22: Descanso y observacion 🤪🤪 📅 Dia 23: Agua + Nutrientes. 📅 Dia 24: Descanso y observacion. 📅 Dia 25: Agua + Nutrientes ( los aplico por inundacion) 📅 Dia 26: Low stress, le pongo pelo al muñeco. 📅 Dia 27: Riego por inundacion con nutrientes 📅 Dia 28: Descanso

So what I have to say?) I am proud of little beauty girl)) I am going make harvest in 2-3 weeks... I am really waiting for harvest day...😋 Day 52. I add 2l water with 4ml "sensi cal-mag extra" from "Advance nutrients". Day 53. I did some modification to increase mass...

Alright Then REMINDER I DO 2 UPDATES PER WEEK 👉WEEKLYROUNDUP👈👉MIDWEEKLY UPDATE👈 We just hit week 5 and all is well , have to admit she's just killing it super happy with how shes coming along 😃 ....... I'm still training her with LST looking good 👌 And she's filling out the pot perfectly👌 water given ,so far and rain water to be used entire growth Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎

Had to attach some more wires and weights as anker against the wind. Buds swelling nicely and densely covered in Trichomes. On day 42 of flowering I took the smallest branch from the bottom of the weaker of the 2 plants, dried the bud for 5 days and dropped it on the Purpl Pro. Came back with 15% THC. It had perfect moisture so i gave it a smoke and it was a smooth smoke already. Given the fact this was a very "bad" flower sample, and that another week of flowering with good sunhours has passed im expecting something along 18-21% THC on the good Material, wich is pretty neat for a metropole area balcony grow in 6L pots. Will post purpl pro results of both plants once dried, cant wait! Had to protect the Plants against some sudden Rainfalls, kept sitting there until it stopped raining - but see for yourself

been doing some topping as the plant grows trying to spread the canopy along with trimming off the large fan leaves near the bottom not get much light. power flower is about 5 inch tall I've been letting the plants grow to the lights and haven't been seeing any issues so far. Power Flower has the 1000W @ 15" away from the top Holy Punch has the 600W @ 6" away from the top

1️⃣26.07.23- Все идет стабильно новые 4 колы подрастают и ждут 3-го этапа на 8 колл . 2️⃣Нет передозов или недокорма все гладко ))) Ростов продолжается (из гроу бега лезут корню отовсюду .. 3️⃣01.08.23-на все тренировки реагирует хорошо 👌🏻 готовится к 3 тропинок на 8 основных кол Ест немного меньше остальных (вход-850 ппм,6.2 пш——выход 930 ппм и 5.5 пш) В целом выглядит прекрасно 👍 4️⃣02.08.23 кажется этот все таки автоцвет….( Стигмы прогрессирует отсюда и вывод Больше топингов не будет (всего мы имеем 4 главные колы )

- Day 62 and the 4 of the mephs are with some amber crystals already ( Stomper#1,#2 & GWK#1,#2), - Stomper #3 (D62) and SODK (D57) are a few weeks behind. - Stomper and GWK produced a light>medium bud structure (tap water only🚿) with full of crystals 💎 (pretty cool for an auto with little effort), not yielders (soil organic) thought but with buds to make diamond rings. - SODK looking more like a yielder from these 3 strains with more compact buds and indica structure. - Humidity a little higher than the optimum this week, except Stomper#3 & SODK we didn't water the plants too much and we had some dry periods in the medium. - Made a final defoliation before harvest (4), we will dry the buds in a dry machine (as the Root66 dairy 👀) and make the rest trimming before curing. 🔕 Smells were super stealth until now, no problem at all and the buds looking and smelling dense when touching and checking them. ⚠️ Next update --> next week with the first part of the meph harvest 🤯.

I'm loving this Lemon Pie Pheno

Not much to report this week, strung up the yoyo’s on D60, stretch seems like it’s almost over, some of the colas at the back are a couple inches too close but I can’t really get at the back anymore (usual issue with my set up). All bud sites are forming well, time to sit back and watch them bulk up over the next couple weeks 😎

8 week We have 12 strong plants and one skinny one. They start drinking more then 1.5 l with one application of water. Smells really sweetly and fruity. I really love it!
