week 3 kicked off and the flowers are really atarting to take shape! 27” tall now! the stretch is unbelievable

03/21/2021 All going well with the exception of the broken branch, but she is still looking healthy she(cutting) is in vermiculite and soil blend and soaked with Grow Rich 4-10-3 with IBA,to see if she roots. If not at least mother should have better buds with one less top. 1st video is at lights on, 2nd is just before lights out.

Tutto alla grande crescono benissimo vedremo 🌲🔥

the girl looks good :) I have already removed the yellow "autumn" leaves:) she received food with 1500ppm, the weather is not very good, I am afraid that it will start to rot :( there will be an update :) in 2-3 weeks ;) good luck growing

Did a lot of training and defoliation. I will move her into a bigger tent now as shes about to start flowering hopefully by end of next week 😍. Will also be using scrog net and will add Bud Candy along with the other nutrients : PH perfect Micro,Grow, Bloom

Total days above ground: 70 Total flower nights: 31 Vege growth stopped around FD25. Started feeding 1/2 strength fertilizer FD26 (last 6 irrigations including today). Excellent development across the canopy. Tried to get some pictures showing how the colas are stacking up along with a couple shots of terminal buds. Included some photos and videos of irrigation setup, drainage and other half of the tent setup that is not often visible in weekly updates. Also, a video showing the canopy with some grateful dead background music. Last week including progression pictures as they are full size. Kush Mints have been awesome 1 through 4. Great structure, easy to manipulate, and a couple had a nice strong minty smell that keeps changing everyday, so I'm not getting my hopes too high, yet. This stuff evolves over time and what a stem-rub smells like at FD30 isn't always representative of what the finished product will be. Regardless, super happy with the crop, overall. Smell is starting to ratchet up. Bud sites are mostly formed at this point and we will see some noticable ripening by next week's update. Might see a hint of fattening calyxes in the bud pictures this week. 2026-2 starts in 8 days. Will have some Blue Cookies and Pineapple Express from MSNL running along side some Vanilla Creme Pie from HSC. Can't believe winter-2 is already starting. Time is flying by. Breeding cycle is doing well. Will update that when the pollen-receivers join the pollen-donator on a 12/12 light schedule. Side note -- looks like I avoided any issues from accidentally leaving port hole opened about 8 or 9 days ago. I have it marked in notes and will feel 100% confident 2-weeks out from the incident. So far, so good. The lung room is mostly dark and light would have to travel a difficult path to get in the tent, but still mildly concerned about it.

This grew really nice and took a lot of beatings by me, she has great smell and I will be growing this over and over again. Just great I made a small handful of seeds but now I understand making seeds is not easy, I did it, it was a great learning experience that is just another part of what this great plant can do. this whole grow started great then took some dives and I was going to give up, I am real glad I did nt. I would have had a larger yield if I did not cut the stem to far when I topped, I was doing this plant as a research project as I know super skunk can take a beating and keep going. The strain is a real winner and bounces back as I put this one through a lot. great strain..

Hey Growmies, only Cutted few fan leafes. Top watered till drain…their are getting kinda massive :) the frostbanger had some serious bulk up this week.. looking near ready..

Day 28

And just like that, the ninth and final week of flowering has come to an end. After months of training, adjusting, observing, and patiently waiting, the girls have finally reached the finish line. Unfortunately, the last week wasn't entirely stress-free. Humidity became particularly challenging, reaching levels much higher than I would have liked this close to harvest. With the flowers now at their densest, this naturally made me more cautious about potential mold and bud rot. One bud on Planet of the Grapes caught my attention, as it appears to be showing either some localized damage or the early signs of bud rot. I have been monitoring it very closely, and thankfully, the surrounding flowers still look healthy and unaffected. With harvest planned for tomorrow, I don't intend to take any unnecessary risks—if the affected area looks any worse, it will simply be removed during harvest. Now for the good news: the girls have finished beautifully. Trichome development is right around where I wanted it to be, with most plants showing approximately 15% amber trichomes, although naturally there is some variation between cultivars and even between individual flowers. Some are slightly further along, while others could probably continue for a little longer. Nevertheless, I have decided to harvest the entire tent together at the end of Week 9. They have matured closely enough to one another that a synchronized harvest makes the most sense, especially since I would rather not set up a second tent purely for drying. Looking back, it's satisfying to see how much the garden has changed. What started as four relatively small plants eventually became a completely filled canopy of heavy, frosty flowers. There were challenges along the way—yellowing leaves, summer heat, stubborn humidity, light adjustments, deficiencies, and branches eventually becoming too heavy to support themselves—but the plants kept pushing forward. And now there is nothing left to adjust. No more chasing the perfect light distance. No more canopy management. No more wondering how much they will stretch or how large the flowers will become. Tomorrow, the scissors finally come out. After nine weeks of flowering and a lot of patience, harvest day has arrived. 🌿✂️

| Week 6 is finished and we are looking pretty good on Super Orange and Apollo Haze. Terps: ------- Orange has started to fairly loudly emit her incredible, warm, mandarine-candy (no sours, bitters) fumes. The terpinolene is playing tricks on me, never fully grasping the exact fruit or likeness in the profile. A warm, sweet & thick mandarine-syrup mixed into your local humidifier would likely emanate a similar scent. Apollo is trying to dominate the tent, but Orange has taken over with surpisingly intense trichome expression. The fact that the tent smells of her mostly means these terpenes are evaporating at present temperatures. I can either keep the temps stable (my week 6 choice), accept that many sensitive terps escape as they are built, but focus on a relaxed environment for the cultivars; or, I could just drop the temps right now and target high limonene / monoterpene retention (one of the secret sauce Haze effect ingredients). Cool distinctions we can make these days, huh? Apollo still retains a fairly 'rude' veg spice smell. It is detailed, balanced and tuned around an umami like sellerie, and most definitley not fruity. I was already afraid I would suffer another pheno or genetic expression as with 505 Headbanger (no fruit smell besides some citrus, heavy eucalyptus and mint notes, sweet after cure, some pine here and there) I did however happen to crush some trichomes on accident and to my surprise I got a heavy citrus-palette that is almost pure lemon juice. Think of all the citrus fruits you know mixed in a lemon juice cocktail, take a whiff and feel your nostrils burn! She is able to conserve the citrus contents well apparently, so I am hoping for more suprises as she ages and shifts focus and am happy with her state. Auto Cinderella Jack ------ ACJ still is a bit quieter and usually smells like fresh leaves. She unfortunately endured many invisible stress factors, like over-watering or wind & climate events (see those curled up, dry leaf tips?). Those interfered with the HST super-cropping / scrogging timing. As a result, instead of starting her flowering stretch, she turtled up. Every big leaves acts as a cup for growth underneath, she went from relaxed expansion to safety via density. In no way will she not flower happily at some point, but her situational difference decided over success of the training technique employed. Note: This cultivar often has a bushier pheno, but I have seen her do great and she would stretch nicely when -everything- was correct. Nanners: ----- The shocker this week was the discovery of undisputed nanner structures on BOTH SOH and AH. They developed exclusively on lower node branches, where you would usually see isolated bracts / calyxes covered with trichomes and 2 pistils or so. I removed what I could, but mentally, this now puts me in an awkward position. Now, the fun is out. Stress management is everything, forget about maximum plant performance. I wonder why this is. So far, I grew 9 42FB cultivars with zero nanners; and up to this point 5 Mephisto cultivars, out of which 3 produced nanners. But that is not enough data: All Mephisto cultivars displaying nanners have been leaning sharply into the landrace-sativa type. Only one cultivar was assumedly stress-pressured into hermaphroditism (OSHM / Mango, consistent light burn). Perhaps the plants felt their environment was a bit lacking in population density and sensing other females around, 2 cultivars started shedding pollen from their lower structures, leaving most flower-sites ready for actual outside pollination. Or, this is just wishful thinking. We'll see in week 7!

Ha sido una buena planta ya que los cogollos muy grandes se me pudren en ocasiones y este tipo de flores estiradas y separadas unas de otras ayuda a una optima aireación. El rosin sale muy bien con olor a gelato.

Solid 4th week for the grow. She really bounced back after the stem breaks. Did more LST on day 22... And again on day 26. Feeding about 2000 ml per 24/ 30 hours. Showed signs of pre - flower on day 28.

Finisch

My last crop of shogun for awhile now. I have a stock pile for my wife and neighbours. Also made 3 lbs of butter with this weed. Great for the sleepy time snacks.

Everything looks good, maybe they can tolerate a little more fertilizer.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

Pulled a few fan leaves, had a house inspection so I had to move them all outside , they went from 26°c to -2°C for ten hours they also had their dark cycle interrupted during the course of moving them. The smell is very strong now from all 6 pheno

7/13/25 - 7/16/25 Flipped the tent to flower as I got worried I might run out of space for another strain in the tent if I let them veg for longer. The clones have established themselves beautifuly. Now I am waiting for the first pistils. She is smelling creamy and sweet drinking a ton and I am struggling to keep up with defoliating. 7/17/25 - 7/19/25 All going well, taking up water and nutes like a champ. Glad I took some cuttings for a mother. The outdoor "mother" I took the cuttings for the dwc is also going crazy, cant be mad about a thing for now.
