I purchased these seeds along with 100+ others (individual seeds, not packs) in late 2006 and early 2007 by sending Western Union money orders to the UK in birthday cards along with my seed order. My only recourse was crossing my fingers and hoping that my seeds would eventually arrive. What I found was that the “Buy it Now” option on Seedbay turned out to be pretty reliable. They used to have a Nirvana 4 pack deal for a very reasonable price ($50, I think). European seed producers at the time were very guarded with the lineage in their crosses, but the common thought was that Nirvana was taking known elite Dutch cultivars of the time and breeding them with a Skunk #1 male and producing ‘knock offs’. AK-48 was AK-47xSk1, Blue Mystic = Blueberry x Sk1, Bubblicious = Bubble GumxSk1, Jock Horror = Jack x Sk1. The point being, there ended up being a lot of variation in packs, but also some keepers were there to be found. I did some growing at that time, but ended up buying a ton of seeds that I never used. As a daily user for almost 30 years now, self sufficiency made/makes a lot of sense. A couple years ago I decided to get back into growing my own herb after being disappointed and underwhelmed with the quality of flower from the dispensaries.

They have really taken off.

I’ve added VPD to my dashboard and have now dialed in my climate for a perfect VPD. Home assitant dashboard controlling lamp, up/down humidity and cooling. Exhaust is going to be used to scrub the air and back into the tent. After adding C02 I’m now doing a sealed grow to take better control of the environment. I was dealing with high temps I put a evaporative cooler just in case if I need to up the humidity or lower the temps.

Defoliate day today

I pinched the tops off both plants..

🌿 Schönen Sonntag & einen entspannten 1. Advent aus der richtigen Zeitzone =) 🌱 Wochenupdate Diese Woche wurde echt viel gefummelt 😄 Im Fokus standen Canopy-Aufbau und selektives Entlauben =) Bin da wirklich pingelig und könnte das den ganzen Tag machen… echt schlimm 😅 Was ich jetzt schon sagen kann: Blueberry Cupcake hat mit Abstand den krassesten Stretch hingelegt. Purpz hat ihren Platz auch relativ gefüllt, performt echt gut und ist fast gleichauf mit BBCC. Notorious zieht auch, soll aber wohl etwas später definierter drücken. Mir gefällt ihr Wachstum richtig gut. Guzzlerz macht sich auch echt gut für ihren schlechten Start. Ihre Sides gehen mittlerweile richtig steil. Ein paar mehr Triebe wären nice gewesen, aber da lag sicher auch einiges an mir.. :D Abseits meiner Dummheiten lief alles absolut smooth. Eine tolle Veg und richtig gute Stretch-Phase bis jetzt =D🔥 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Ich halte die Canopy aktuell noch flach – für zwei, drei Tage =) Anschließend steht das Verteilen auf die Meshes an. Danach dürfen sie endlich nach oben =D Die Richtungen sind grob gelegt, erste Ansätze sieht man auch schon =D Ich kann’s echt nicht erwarten… Budporn ist einfach magisch 😄🔥 Über die Tage sind immer wieder größere oder verdrehte Blätter rausgeflogen – hauptsächlich, um Luft und Licht auf möglichst viele Triebe zu bekommen 😊 Man kann wirklich ohne Bedenken ~30 % Biomasse rausnehmen, wenn die Vitalität das zulässt, ohne sichtbaren Stop im Wachstum 🌱 🌬️ Luft & Ventilation Hab jetzt noch zwei Clip-Ventis dazugezogen. Die Angst vor Schimmel kickt langsam wieder =D Es laufen jetzt zwei unter und zwei über der Canopy – jeweils gegenüberliegend und zirkulierend. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich den Boundary-Layer-Disruption-Effekt kenne bzw. davon weiß, und ihn durchaus stimmig finde 😊 Aber bis jetzt war die Angst vor Schimmel in irgendeiner Ecke doch größer 😂 Ich hab nicht den Eindruck, dass es negativ ist, zirkulierende Luft auf die Pflanzen zu richten, solange man nicht voll draufpustet 💨 ⚙️ System Läuft nach wie vor stabil =) Die Top-Ups halten die Nährlösung sauber auf Kurs. Gestern hat sich klar abgezeichnet, dass wir mitten im Stretch-Peak sind 😄 Sie ziehen massiv Kationen und verursachen dadurch einen deutlich messbaren pH-Drop. Das ist für mich das Signal, das Training in den nächsten Tagen zu beenden 🌿😊 800 PPFD 1,0 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt 💚 Special Mention Der Aufwärtstrend setzt sich fort 😊 Man mag es kaum glauben, aber sie macht sich wirklich gut – sie deckt sogar etwas mehr als die Hälfte ihres Quadranten ab 💚 Bin echt froh, dass sie es geschafft hat und meinen Scheiß noch mitgetragen hat 😂 Danke fürs Lesen echt verrückt, wie viele inzwischen dabei sind – freut mich wirklich mega 😊💛 Eine schöne, entspannte Adventszeit euch allen 🌲😊

Flush week begins for one of the 2 plants. Not many red pistils yet but I will be cutting in a few days as there is already quite a bit of amber color in the crystals. Definitely don't want to miss out on the nice terpenes, the smells are pretty amazing, very citrusy. The yield looks like it could be quite decent too. Buds not as thick as I was hoping for, but still really good looking. Some leafs on the right side plant showing some signs of various issues and maybe a few previously undetected bugs on some leafs, but looks like all should be good.

Привет Садоводы ! Сегодня полил цветок с удобрениями и стимуляторами и удалил небольшое колличество выцвевших листьев в глубине куста.

This girls just chugging along. She seems to look good??? Have had No leaf curling, discoloration or spotting 🤞 so far... Don't defoliate much since she looks and seems so strong and healthy. Only got about 6 more of hey own grids on the Scrog net and she'll have covered two thirds the available lit floor space. Gonna start Nature's Living Soil Girl Flower Power. 2nd week Flower Yay.

inicio floracion ( esperando tonalidad de la planta ) 👨‍🌾👨‍🌾

The blackberry cake feminised has seemed to of picked up a bit in the last two days. She has a little deficiency so I gave her a slight flush. The poor girl is still being attacked by pests so a little mist of neem oil was the treatment. Will lay rosemary on the substrate. She will need close monitoring until bloom. Overall she looks well and has grown a steady 5cm this week.

May, 8th OMG, those Stawberry Cough As you can see In the Video they are still Bulkng up the Flowers On the one Pheno the Buds are Fistsized... they are loosing fluffyness and getting dense The other Pheno showing Cotton Caandylike Flowers Pistils are getting darker, and Trichomes are already Milky/ with some Amber Plant is discloring That means all Signs for Harvesting soon If I open thee Tent i have a strong Scent of pine and fruits...... Stay tuned

.

This week lowered the soil ppm to around 700 so i can be in control of nutes and follow up with any deficiencies it might appear , straight away the leaves started fading like 10% so i know im feeding now and not the soil.... Also applied first topping and guess i will go for another two toppings to create 8 main colas with no small stems whatsoever for thick dense buds. ... well see how she responds. So far she didnt even feel the topping no stress apparently and lower branches getting higher after 10 hours so i guess more toppings to follow soon xxx Mid week Update: Transplanted today and ready to veg further ..No signs of stress from topping or translplating. Xxx Mid week Update: Stripped off the side branches leaving only the leaves and thinking of mainlining or just let them with just one topping and no further trimmings...I will decide later this week xxx happy growing all

Seit dieser Woche bekommen die Pflanzen nur noch Wasser zu trinken. In der Box herscht ein unglaublicher Geruch, kann die kaum noch auf machen. Es geht dem ende zu und ich finde die Mädels könne sich doch für den ersten Indoor run wirklich sehen lassen oder? *eigener Schulter klopfer*

Day 78 - Ripening a. the buds are gaining more and more weight, humidity 45% b. the resin is dripping from the buds, the amount of resin on this plant is next level c. smelling this plant when I open the tent I smell floral fruity tones Day 79 - more resin a. the glands on this plant keep growing upward and multiplying all over the buds b. buds fattening Day 80 - buds are rock hard a. the colas are very dense, even the buds down the limbs are dense! Day 81 - the smell is so strong! a. glad I use carbon filter in this box, this plant smells crazy good like most citrus weed you've ever smelled. b. I clipped a bud, dried it safely, smoked .25g in a bong and the effects are already super strong. c. trichomes are about 60% milky, a few ambers here and there, still plenty of clears to let ripen. Day 82 - her pistils are 70% brown/orange - buds are becoming blue! Video uploaded a. the colas are very tight and dense with their leaves all being yellow now, many are able to remove by hand with no effort except the huge amount of resin holding them in. I will not remove any because I will be making hash later on. b. the buds are turning a nice blue color. I will be going the distance with this plant! c. Trichomes are 80% white, 20 % clear with a few ambers here and there, still needs more time! DWC and autos always take a little longer due to the abundance of readily available nutrients in the water pool. Day 83 - ripening fast! Blue Gelato buds! a. turned lights down to 50% intensity b. will begin the flushing process tomorrow Day 84 - We will begin the flush! a. I will use Florakleen to flush the ladies for a few days, then I will harvest b. the trichome production is next level with this plant

The gas tax x obama runtz is a disappointment so far just like my skunk apple runtz starting to realize how much work legit breeders actually put in to make a good strain. The plant liked being topped it just has not hit its stride yet it definitely going to be a skiny lady The day has come and it's time to flip these ladies to flower. I was planning on letting them go untill Friday and let the smaller ones grow just a bit more but they will be fine. I have the eternity cup contest in mind and I'm thinking timing so I need to get these lady done and out my tent lol. This past week I turned the light up alot getting them ready to flower they have grown a bunch inhavendone lst maybe 5 it 6 times on the branchs and they arw nit bendy anymore that will help durring flower.

very good development during this week. buds start to crystallize and gain volume. slight increase in feeds.some more HST and defoliation this week.good week everyone 🙏💚🌱

This are 2 of the 29 ladies of my SOG in 7l pots, let's see how this couple of ghost cookies by original sensible perform, very stocked on their genetics!
