Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

She's doing OK, certainly not jumping up in height though.

She is going verry nice... Big Seedbank can be proud they got some nice seeds... dispite the bad quality of the air.. really fully flowering.. I have increaed the feed... hope it all goes good... fingers crossed 👍

Per fortuna non è lei l'hermafrodita. Pensavo era lei ma poi guardando bene ho visto che è la strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌 della fast buds..mai successo prima...sarà che s'è stressata troppo con il taglio del apicale..boh non so. .,

Manage to get the monster transplanted into the new tent couple of branches broke unfortunately It is taking up almost the entire five-by-five I don't know if it will be over 3 pounds but I sure am hoping My last girl I managed to get 1.3 pounds out of the 4 by 3 tent This one is double the size with a bit more light so hopefully we can get there Nugs already barely fit in my hand halfway done flower 😇😁🤩 day Ok 94 My top nugs are Anywhere from the size of a can of pop up to a 2L Day 97 of grow I've decided from now on I'm going to be Putting the day and as how long it's been flowering Day 35 of flower added dense by green planet with ph water at 600ppm and 6.4ph first time let see if it will dense 😃

Day 36: The time has finally come to start my first flowering week (I think🤣) someone please correct me if I’m wrong. She’s starting to show a lot of pistils and she’s literally doubled in height from last week. With the tips of leafs looking like they’re about to start suffering from some sort of nutrient burn I’ve simply continued with a smaller dose. I suppose this strain just doesn’t take well to heavy nutrients. Also would anyone recommend me doing lst at the age it is? Or should I just leave it free growing up. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Happy growing! Day 37: she just keeps on growing. 3cm overnight and lst is definitely out of the question now. She’s drinking a lot more water and I’m now watering every other day. Day 38: not much to say apart from growth is rapid. Still seems rather wet so I think I’ll leave watering until tomorrow. I took a video to go with this week but unfortunately uploading it to here seems to have lowered the quality. Day 39: once again huge amounts of growth. I did end up having to water yesterday. She’s a very thirsty plant. I’ll start giving larger amounts of water tomorrow. Day 40: she continues to grow and grow, I’ve learned a lot from this first grow and now I’ve got a good understanding of how plants develop I’ll definitely be trying lst for my other plant. I’ve decided against giving a larger amount of water and I’m going to continue watering how I’m watering now as she just seems to be loving what she’s getting and I don’t mind watering every other day. Very happy with the progress. Day 41: she continues to reach. I’ll feed her later on today. Very excited to see what next week brings. Happy growing! Day 42: she’s growing faster than I imagined possible. Loving the feeding routine she’s got and all is currently going well, excited to start the next week.

The last week that they will receive 'veg' supplements. Next feed will have bio bloom and top max added, root juice is removed. I try to give them a feed with nutrients one or twice a week, and one without (just water).

Welcome to the Sweet Seeds Cup 🏆 Hey everyone :-). This week she started to put her full power into the flower production :-). Since then she has received Canna Bio Flores and Canna Bio Boost 🤗. It is barely one meter high and looks beautiful 😍. In addition, it starts to smell very delicious 👍. I water it about every 3 days with about 1 l - 1.5 l. It is very stable genetically and I'm glad I took cuttings 😅 . I am very curious to see how it will develop next week. I wish you all a good start into the new week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱 Sweet Seeds Cup 🏆 Type: San Fernando Lemon Kush ☝️🏼 Genetics: OG Kush x Kosher Kush 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Earth: Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Canna Bio ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

W12 started and after few days of wonderin is just one 270w LED panel enough for these two monsters I got 2nd panel installed now there is plenty of light and sides should stop growing taller than the middle. W12D3 installed 2nd 270w led for total light power of 440w. measured ppfd from accross the tops sc in the pictures. Girls have adjusted well in their new pots and topside is looking really bushy onse again. Might do another round of topping before flowering to prevent them growing too tall, not shure how much they strech after flipping lights. Ok I felt the urge to get flowering so trimmed away the tops from LB2. LB1 needs to be mainlined from the back and i think it's ready for flowering. W12D7 girls are ready for flowering, just need to defoliate boght and LB1 might need little topping tho i might leave it like that to see how long it stretches. 3 months have passed quick and flowering time for this strain is around 10-12weeks so we are around the halfway mark with this diary.

Week has been good. I'm not sure about the ppm and salt around roots, they are a little brown. Wounder if I should flush them and start again with nutrient? And see some of the last picture, it's pretty thigth between the leaf and buds, should I but some of the leaf? Ppm 1400-1600 Temp 22 to 31 Temp in water 20-26 Humidity 50-60%

Saw a few burnt tips at the start of the week so I’ve only been feeding water. Other than that I still just hope to harvest, at least. So far so good she’s been quite strong from the get go! I hope to last another week, exciting times ahead!

Already at the beginning of flowering, with a pot of 3 liters ppm balanced, due to more frequent watering, it is great feeding well despite its size, at the moment I don't have a microscope to show the beginning of large bulbs trichomes thick pistils visibly very attractive shows what can come next... the scent despite being in bloom is not so predominant or strong. We'll see in the next few weeks...

3/23 12AM Monday. BKO I made from crossing Gelato 44 and Bubbles Blueberry F4 is way better than I thought LOTS of color. All are doing good, even with soft water..as long as I flush out way more than im used to. That’s an awesome success story, congratulations on pulling off that pollen chuck and getting viable seeds from your targeted branch! As a non-professional breeder working in a home setup (with the challenges of being homebound and managing everything solo), nailing a deliberate cross like this is seriously impressive. You basically created your own hybrid: **Blueberry Bubbles F4** (from Brothers Grimm Seeds, a refined take on DJ Short’s classic Blueberry lineage—sweet, creamy blueberry terps with vanilla, subtle lavender/chamomile, and those nostalgic fruity/skunky notes) pollen hitting a **Gelato 44** (the Tyson 2.0 collab with Royal Queen Seeds, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC—potent, indica-dominant with citrus-cookie-earth-mint flavors, high THC around 22%, and dense, resinous buds). The result you got—those **bright red calyxes** (the small, teardrop-shaped protective structures that hold the pistils and get super frosty with trichomes)—is a beautiful, eye-catching phenotype expression. It’s not something you see every day, and it turned out “really nice” as you said. ### Why the Bright Red Calyxes? In cannabis, calyx color can shift dramatically due to genetics, environment, or stress (which you mentioned applying some to the donor plant—classic for triggering unique traits in breeding). Common causes for vivid red/purple/reddish hues in calyxes include: - **Anthocyanin expression** — These are natural pigments (same ones that make fall leaves red) that show up more under cooler temps (especially nights in late flower), pH swings, or genetic predisposition. Some strains (like certain Blueberry lines or Gelato crosses) carry genes for purple/red coloration, and stress can “unlock” it in the calyxes specifically. - **Stress response** — The stress you put on the Blueberry Bubbles donor (to induce pollen) likely influenced the offspring, amplifying colorful traits. Red calyxes often signal a plant pushing hard on resin production (trichomes galore for protection), which is a win for potency and bag appeal. - **Hybrid vigor or recombination** — Crossing a fruity, potentially purple-leaning Blueberry line with Gelato 44 (which can show some color in its family) created a new combo where the red popped on those calyxes. It’s not a “standard” look for either parent strain (Blueberry Bubbles tends toward blue/purple hues in buds, Gelato more green with frost), so you hit a rare, standout pheno. Bright red calyxes like in your pic (frosty green leaves surrounding those vivid red pods with amber hairs and tons of trichomes) often mean: - High resin/trichome density (great for potency and extracts). - Aesthetic appeal—looks killer in photos or jars. - Potentially enhanced terps/flavors from the stress/genetic shuffle (maybe more berry/cookie depth). Since you only got seeds on that one branch (pollen rub worked selectively—smart move to contain it), that’s textbook DIY breeding: low risk, targeted results. Naming it something like “Blueberry Knockout” fits perfectly—a knockout cross with knockout looks. Even if replicating it exactly is tough (breeding is part science, part luck with phenotypes), you’ve got keeper genetics now. If you grow more out, watch for stability in those red calyxes, yield, terps, and effects—it could be a gem for your personal stash or even sharing seeds with like-minded growers. The photo is stunning—those fuzzy, frost-covered calyxes with the red popping through the green are chef’s kiss. What does the smell/aroma on this one lean toward? Blueberry dominant, or more Gelato cookie/mint coming through? And how’s the high/effects shaping up? Proud of you for making this happen in your setup—it’s a real testament to your resourcefulness. 🌿🔴 Keep crushing it! If you snap more pics of the full buds or plant, I’d love to see how it fills out.👨‍🔬 3/24 4:07 AM Montel dream widow is doing great so are the two Mike Tyson‘s and the bubbles I have a Cork Screw auto in there I kind of made a mistake. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t flowering and I moved it from one tent to the other, so that one has been flowered and bagged and back to flower. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but they’re all looking great. Wish I could figure out what I’m doing right now but having these two lights instead of one at lower wattage and getting a lot of runoff, I take them into the bathtub to water them now just to make sure that the EC is where I want it to be when I’m done. It’s a heck of a lot more work this way and I didn’t mean to have this many going so it’s still working out really good though. So I have all the trailer Park boys, Montel, iced tea, two Mike Tyson’s and the one that I made the blueberry knockout that one’s really nice. I can put this on that tumor on my neck since I can never seem to die. 3/25 1:30PM MONTEL!!!! DREAM WIDOW IS THE STAND-OUT FOR LOOKS AT THE MOMENT..... Montel's Dream Widow is looking absolutely killer in these photos. The undulating, "tarantula-like" leaf pattern emerging from the buds is one of the coolest and most distinctive traits I've seen on a cannabis plant in a while. Those long, serrated fan leaves are curling and radiating outward from the cola in a wavy, almost spidery or "hairy" fashion, giving the whole bud a wild, textured, almost alien look. The heavy frost (those dense white trichomes coating everything) combined with the way the leaves are twisting and overlapping makes it look like the flower is exploding with movement. It's hypnotic and unique—definitely not your standard dense, compact cola. Why this happens This phenotype is likely a combination of: Genetics from the Montel's Dream Widow strain (a cross involving Widow family genetics—often White Widow or Widow relatives—with strong sativa-leaning or hybrid vigor that can produce more "leafy" or "foxtail" bud structures). Some Widow lines are known for expressive, airy, or "spidery" bud formations where leaves protrude dramatically from the calyxes. Your grow environment and minimal intervention (1-gallon pot, no LST, no topping) letting the plant express its natural structure. Many indica-dominant or hybrid strains tighten up with training, but when left to grow freely, they can throw these dramatic, undulating leaf patterns—especially if there's a bit of stress or environmental fluctuation that encourages the plant to "reach" with its leaves for light/air. The heavy trichome coverage suggests excellent resin production, which often pairs with these more open, leafy expressions (the plant is protecting the developing seeds/flowers with extra "armor"). Even in that small 1-gallon pot, she's putting out impressive colas with great structure, density in the center, and that signature "tarantula" flair on the edges. That's a testament to solid genetics and your hands-off approach paying off—some strains really shine when you just let them do their thing. 3/27 1:52pm. Ricky and Julian are GREAT!!!👍 The physical side is a real win Turning the grow work into functional exercise — bending, squatting, lifting gallon jugs of water (around 8 lbs each), working in the tub — is genuinely smart. It’s low-impact but builds practical strength, balance, core stability, and mobility, which is especially valuable if you have back issues. Many people with chronic pain or limited routines find that consistent, purposeful movement like this (without it feeling like “gym time”) helps keep things stretched and functional far better than doing nothing. The fact that it gives you a reason to move regularly, beyond just the plants themselves, adds real value. As long as you’re listening to your body (stopping when it feels off, not overdoing heavy lifts in one session), this kind of activity is sustainable and beneficial. You’re right — without the grow, that structured physical outlet might not exist, and the combination of tending the plants + staying active creates a positive feedback loop for both your garden and your well-being.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

Booommm! Llegó la hora tan esperada Farmers nuestras flores llenas de resina acabandose de formar, la verdad que estas genéticas ayudan mucho al desarollo del cultivo espero que os guste!! Una locura de olores y terpenos!!💚

Hey Guys ! 😁 Buds are coming ! We are in the last week of feeding, next week, I will start flushing for about 10 Days before the Harvest. This week was quiet, the plant ate a lot : EC in at 1.8 out at 1.4 > 2 times per days. This week I will increase the EC at 2.0 to finish her. She beginning to smell good and to make tricomes ! There is only one thing : I got 3/4 branches that seems to be less developped than the rest of the plant > Light reflection problem ?? See you soon, keep growing !🕉️
