We are cruising now, 8 week and a day done of flower. The Blue Sherbalato and Wedding Cake are finished both have done poorly compared to the others. I said in my first posts neither plant was vigorous compared to the others. Maltezerz should make a fair yield and is also pretty much finished .Considering it did not have best speck and did not stretch as much so ended up being overshadowed a bit by everything else, it's done ok. Orangesicle has smashed the room, I can't wait for a proper taste off all of them. Of course I have quick dried samples from all, except GTH2,3,4.. I am not holding on to cuttings if they are not good. WC and the BS cuttings were launched weeks ago, They had no vigour, took almost a month to root so the plants just were not up to it. Yet the other weak seedling GTH2 has took off as a cutting and has needed more control than the rest. All the tests were pretty potent, not a lot between them, nothing disappointing ( I have been disappointed many times in the past with potency levels being no where near the claimed effects in the catalogues.) There was nothing unpleasant in the quick dried taste test, and a lot to look forward to. The outdoor plant has started flowering at around 45 days from germ, though it sprouted in an old chemdogging pot, I think it is from a GG auto mother, it has her structure with large calyx and heavy buttressed lower branches. I have gave her a light touch of pollen from the reg photo scotts OG male. So there will be a few seed in her, none would be Auto in the first generation, will I get the time/space to play with them?

She's starting to grow upwards finally and looks happy in her new home. Sadly the tent isn't the best and is lacking ventilation

11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

The buds are still bulking a little more as of day 64. The trichomes are pretty milky/frosty so the harvest is getting close, but I am not going to rush it if the plant is healthy and the buds are not suffering. My best estimate right now would be between day 68 and 78 for harvest. Day 67: areas of amber colored trichomes are appearing on the calyxes, under 10 percent of total. this is what I have been watching for to indicate harvest time so I will be giving water from here out and begin cutting down the plant in a few days. Thanks for reading!

So only after two weeks of curing these buds are becoming more and more refined! The texture of the buds is beautiful, it crumbles and grinds up effortlessly in my space case and is light, fluffy and almost “goopy” coming out of the grinder. I guess goopy is my description of ground bud that sticks together as it comes out of the grinder. It almost resembles goo or putty! That’s always a great indicator of a strain that has lots of sticky dank trichomes 😎 Now onto the high... I must admit, I was a little disappointed at first. I was initially caught off guard by how smooth the smoke went down, but usually after the first hit I feel something. After the first hit of this strain I didn’t, so I packed another bowl and sparked her up... not much different. Around 15min after my second hit I started to gradually feel a trippy/tingly full body buzz and strong head buzz come on. Once I sat down on the couch it’s like it fully kicked in and I really felt a truly euphoric full body high along with a head high that felt incredible. She’s definitely what some would call a “creeper strain”! To me though, the high is reminiscent of the first hour after ingestion of some top quality cubensis! In a nutshell the high is euphoric, energetic and crisp. I don’t feel groggy at all when I smoke this strain, I can be extremely productive with work and still articulate my thoughts with ease. I also noticed that I don’t get anxious in public and even though this strain is extremely uplifting and energetic I have zero issues getting to sleep at night. I could truly classify this strain as medicinal and I know if I was still a caregiver this would be on constant rotation! I will update more after 2.5-3.0 months cure!

21 branches over 40 bud sites only to be handled with nylon gloves. Bent the top over slightly to allow better distance from the light she is much taller than I thought I allowed for. Not complaining lol. I stopped adding the fast grow a while back it just never stayed deleted. Also added an extra light down below to give light to the bottom 45watt led at 30 cm away from closest branch. End of next week I will be adding extreme boost and removing the monster bloom.

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.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿đŸ’Ș

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur dreizehntenWoche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Diese Woche halte ich es mal wieder etwas kĂŒrzer😄. Ich will mich hier ja nicht die ganz die ganze zeit beschweren aber das Wetter könnte echt n bisschen mehr mitspielen 😅. Die letzten Tage hatten wir. Von Niesel regen bis zu Monsun artigen VerhĂ€ltnissen alles gehabt. Die Damen haben diese wiedersagen VerhĂ€ltnisse gut weggesteckt und stehen in voller Pracht. Allerdings haben sie nicht ĂŒbermĂ€ĂŸig an höhe zugelegt was ich ihnen angesichts der Wetterlage auch nicht ĂŒbel nehmen kann. Aber was ist die Woche geschehen? Ich habe den Pflanzen eine kleine Hormonkur in Form der im letzten Bericht angesetzten Jauche gegönnt. Dies besteht aus: 5l Wasser (in meinem Fall habe ich destilliertes verwendet ist aber eigentlich egal) 75g Alfalfa 75g Seegras 20g Melasse/Lab Mischung Das ganze in einen Behalte gegeben und dann mit offen vergĂ€ren lassen. Da die verwendeten MilchsĂ€urebakterien sich anaerob vermehren, also ohne zugĂ€be von Sauerstoff wie beim AACT, werdende sich keinen sprudelstein. Die Jauche wird einmal am Tag mit geschlossenem Deckel geschĂŒttelt.Wichtig ist zu erwĂ€hnen das die Jauche ĂŒber die zeit immer mehr an Potenz gewinnt da die MilchsĂ€urebakterien immer mehr Material zersetzen. Dies ist zu bedenken wenn man die Jauche verdĂŒnnt. Die fertige Jauche ist eine absolutes Monster im garten und bringt eine reihe an benefits fĂŒr die Pflanzen. Unter anderem: +verbesserung der Bodenbeschaffenheit +Erhöhung de Stresstoleranz +förderung des Wachstums durch phytohormone +erhöhen die diversitĂ€t an Mikroorganismen +Verbessern die Phosphoraufnahme durch die bessere aufspaltung im Boden +untedrĂŒckung von Schadorganismen eine gute und bereits PflanzenverfĂŒgbare Silikatquelle Und und und 
 Die Jauche habe ich einerseits im VerhĂ€ltnis 1:20 gespritzt hierbei ist darauf zu achten das man dies eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang erledigt um Verbrennungen Vorzubeugen und den Bakterien zeit zu geben einen film auf den BlĂ€ttern zu bilden welcher auch die Ansiedlung von Pilzen erschwert (Mehltau etc.). Am nĂ€chsten Tag habe ich die Jauche dann noch im VerhĂ€ltnis 1:10 gegossen um wirklich alle bennefits mitzunehmen . Die Pflanzen haben das Treatment gut aufgenommen und wirken bereits etwas vitaler. Es gibt auch einen neuen Liebling im Garten: Die bitter Orange hat sich wirklich gemacht und ein robb ein an den StĂ€ngeln (nicht dass das immer aussagekrĂ€ftig wĂ€re) ist wirklich vielversprechend. Mit dem im letzten Bericht angekĂŒndigten lollipoppen warte ich doch noch etwas das ich mit bei dem eine oder anderen unteren trieb nicht sicher bin ob er sich nicht doch noch macht . Das alles wird sich dann in den nĂ€chsten ein bis zwei Wochen entscheiden. Und zu guter letzt.. Habe ich den Bio Bloom in Form eines Top-dress eingearbeitet, da wir uns doch langsam aber sicher in Richtung BlĂŒte bewegen und das Bodenlöeben diesen erst PflanzenverfĂŒgbar machen muss. Durch das aufstreuen hat sich ein leichter Pilzfilm gebildet. Dies ist aber kein schlechtes Zeichen und wurde auch son in der akungsbeilage beschrieben. Alles in allem sind wir gut auf Kurs 😊 Das war’s fĂŒr diese Woche. Euch noch einen schönen Restmontag und einen guten start in die Woche. Peace

Ganadora del primer lugar en la categorĂ­a autofloreciente de la copa Litoral de Los Poetas en Chile.đŸ†đŸ„‡ Definitivamente en mi top 5 de preferencias ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una genĂ©tica muy estable, ya que es segunda vez que germino de estas semillas y se expresa exactamente el mismo fenotipo; tonalidades hermosas y caractericas, frutos muy apretados y macizos cubiertos de una capa de tricomas lo que le da una visual espectacular. El aroma en frasco es una mezcla de frutilla ĂĄcida y tierra con un fondo dulce đŸ€€ es realmente exquisito. En la fumada se repiten gran parte de los aromas pero menos dulce y mĂĄs cremoso y especioso, detodas formas es un humo genial que querrĂĄs fumar todo el dĂ­a..

Well it was another great week for the Super Silver Haze sisters!! Day 28 for them and they are growing very well👌They have all grown about an inch in height in the last week. Plant #1 has a slight earthy/ fruity smell starting to come out. Her bud sites are slowly starting to fill in nicely. Plant #2 has really filled in and is just a very quick growing pheno. It had the onset of flowering very quick and has just kept going at the same rate since🙌 Only thing about that is she is using way more Phosphorous than the other 2 plants and was starting to show the beginning of a deficiency, luckily It was caught quick and is not affected any of the top new growth or bud site areas. So now she is getting her own nutrient solution with a slightly higher amount of phosphorous. She also has a Strawberry fruity like smell, it is very unique! Plant #3 Is doing great👍 She doesn't have to much of a smell yet, but it does have a hint of a skunky/fruity smell to it according to what my nose is telling me😂 Overall they are growing fantastic with the exception of the slight P deficiency that showed up on Plant #2, Like I stated earlier I believe it is due in part to how fast she is growing and me not thinking to add a little more knowing she was growing faster than the other plants, combined with her position in the tent. Where she is kinda in the overlap of the 1000w HPS lights even though the light is strongest directly under them. Where I have 2 running in a 5'x10' area. So the overlap of them into each other creates quite an even light coverage, most of the time. but sometimes can be stronger than directly under the light depending on the spacing of the hoods/reflectors and type of hoods/reflectors, and that is what was happening here. They where fairly close together so the edge of their light dispersion was reaching almost to the center of the other light creating a pretty intense spot of light in the overlap. So I moved the lights just a little further apart, but did not want to go to far because the plant was loving that much light. and really only wanted to reduce it to help it bounce back from the slight P deficiency, since the more light the more photosynthesis the more Phosphorous😊 Anyways Thanks for stopping by to check things out!!👊 Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests to All!!🙏

Bueno esta semana estaban muy bien la planta pero ya estaba muy alta y estaban por llegar a la altura måxima de la carpa , pusimos una malla así bajaban las ramas y podían recibir mejor luz toda la planta, estamos fertilizando con engorde y guano también abonamos con humus de lombriz, la planta estå muy bien así q vamos a ir viendo como sigue
