👨🏽‍🌾 Farmer Pigeonman (OR): How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Indoor Growing

Solo Cup Pt 2 Update:

No eclipse = 6 of 6 are up and growing! :smiley:

:hugs: :metal: :globe_with_meridians:

(random edit: I reuse my tags! Go to Michaels and use a 50% off coupon for a metallic coloured oil paint pen which stays put unless you wipe it off with 99% isopropyl and a cloth :wink: :hugs: )

I have a similar strategy :joy:

UPDATE: MENDO BREATH S1

It’s been longer than I expected but I finally took the top off the Mendo Breath S1 to make a chunky clone.

The branching on this this is incredible! Quite a worthy specimen of the strain to have as a mother plant :smiley:

Even without its top she’s still quite the looker. She’s going to live in the propagation tent for the week while I sex the Mexican Death Sativa; which is also long overdue.

I’m in love with the leaves off this plant; most :diamonds: i’ve seen in anything I’ve grown.

UPDATE: SOLO CUP ROUND 2

6 of 6 are up and doing their thing.

The 4x auto flowers will start getting lite feeding starting today in addition to the worm casting topping. The 2x photo periods will get food as well, but not as much as the autos.

The BOG SourBluTooth is already impressive compared to the other 5x plants, you can really tell the strength in it’s genes right off the bat.

The Crockett’s Tangie had trouble with it’s helmet and is coming along; I took tweezers to it yesterday as it needed the physical help as keeping the seed casing wet to help it along was reaching a point of diminishing returns (potential damp issues if I continued.

I plan on popping a few more beans in the next few weeks; all singles as I’m finding the process therapeutic now that the snow is coming down.

So far the upcoming line-up is: Cherry Festival (thanks @G-paS ), Unicorn Poop (in the mail; thanks @G-paS), Purple Duckalyzer (thanks @Yetigrows ) & Pineapple Express AutoFem (thanks @sprinklememaynee )

Thanks for checking in; all the best to you and yours!

UPDATE: MEXICAN DEATH SATIVA

This little tyke is just that: LITTLE? I know it had a dry-out issue after transplant but didn’t expect it to be this small at 5 weeks in from sprouting.

It’s been alone for 3 days at 12/12 with a FarRed initiator going for 15min after lights off. I’m starting to see something coming in… and I hope for pistils! :smiley:

If it’s female i’m going forward with the ΩPot; but if it’s male I’m going to cull it cause as much fun as it would be to do a pollen run it’s not the most impressive plant I’ve grown to feel the months of extra work being worth the effort.

UPDATE: MENDO BREATH S1: CLONE

It’s doing it’s thing, and looking rather impressive at it to boot!

UPDATE: MENDO BREATH S1: MOTHER

Since taking of the top for the clone, it’s branches have started to reach out and fatten up. :hugs:

UPDATE: SOLO CUP CHALLENGE: ROUND 2

They are on day #11 since hitting water and all are doing me proud; even the Tangie which got it’s head stuck in it’s helmet so it’s first leaves are a bit wonky but the new growth looks fine.

Every day I give the 4x Auto flowers (Trizzler F2, MI5 x Midnight Express, Ghost Rose x Cookie Devil, & Strawberry Shortcrack, in blue speed cups) 1 oz of week 1 nutes, and the same every-other-day with the 2x photoperiods (Sour BluTooth F2 & Crockett’s Tangie F2).

This time around I just used plain old ProMix BX in the cups with a worm castings topping instead of a layered cold/hot mix and already I can see the plants want more food that I’ve been giving them. They’ll get their way, but starting on the weekend. :rofl:

Thanks for checking in!

BOG SourBluTooth F2 & Crockett’s Tangie F2:

It’s been 2 weeks since soil so they are getting up-potted to keep their groove going.

I have been questing both of these strains for a good part of 2021 so I’m going a little overboard with them and have decided to go all in with their cycle… so I bough 2 of the cutest of all Air-pot sizes for the up potting!

Thank you again @corey for the BOG legacy, and thank you again @GCBudz for the Tangie opportunity!

@Sebring was so kind to include a sample of DynoMyco with my most recent DIY Greenlife order so i’ve decided to open it up and have added a small spoonful of it on top of some worm castings also tossed into the planting hole. The sides and bottom of the airpot are rammed with medium; i really do love these things after using them now for a few months :joy:

All done, and now they’re gonna be dosed daily with food and soon moved into the 2x2 once I’m done sexing the Mexican Death Sativa.

When they get beefier it’ll be time to sex them and while I don’t have gender biases in life I do at times when growing cannabis and hope for a pair of strong women.

Thanks for checking in! All the best to you and yours!

MEXICAN DEATH SATIVA

Well, it’s a bittersweet development but these things happen: ♂

The far red helped with the gender reveal; which at this point isn’t a party as I needing it to be a to keep moving forward with it.

Otherwise, it’s such a pretty plant I hate to see it go so i’m going to take it out of the tent for the solo-cups & the smaller photo periods and put it with the citrus to enjoy it until I HAVE TO cull it.

I still have 8 MDS seeds in the bank so I can start one up again when ready. I think I’m going to pop a few other things in between now just to take a time out; one didn’t pop, and now a male so me thinks going for three beans at once next time gives me better odds of getting at least 1 fem.

And if they are all female… well it’ll be a mixed bag but at least the ΩPot will get it’s plant!

LONG WAIT OVER!!!

That’s 3x :unicorn: :poop: BX1’s and 3x :cherries: :partying_face: :red_square: F2’s!

I can’t thank @G-paS & @Pawsfodocaws both enough with me being able to learn and watch them grow these strains out from seed to… well, SEED!

Now I have the :exploding_head: experience of being able to GROW THEM OUT!!! :seedling:

I drove home (50min), took Dog to pee, took myself to pee, GAVE BEANS A SHAKE IN THE SANDBOX AND TOSSED EM INTO WATER I’m that excited!

Now I go make dinner.

:hugs: :metal: :globe_with_meridians:

(*Edit: anyone confused at the emoticon names; I’m growing out Unicorn Poop BX1’s and Cherry Festival F2’s, Red Phenotype)

It’s a party in here and everyone is invited! :partying_face:

MENDO BREATH S1

Wow. JUST WOW. This lil’ plant is still earning it’s love! I’m going to remove some foliage to open up the interior this weekend.

SOLO CUP RUN PART 2: THE REVEGNGE

It’s like a gun went off and they are all racing with each other.

MI5 x Midnight Express (@Senor_frijoles )
Was small to start and then all of a sudden I go to work a few days and come back to a plant twice the size!!

STRAWBERRY SHORTCRACK (@Yetigrows )
I am soooo very happy to have this second seed working so well! Considering the genetics Yeti mixed together to create this I’m very much forward to see what it becomes in this limited space so when I run them in the summer outdoors with 5gal pots I can then REALLY see what they can do!

TRIZZLER F2 (@Mr.Sparkle )
This one makes me nervous. Not because it’s doing anything different than the others… no but because of seeing what :fish: :bulb: is able to achieve with this strain in his grows in the sterile micro-cubes. I know i’ll do this plant justice, I just hope to heck I can grow it as sexy as the plants that created the beans in the first place! On a poetic note: these seeds were gifted to me as part of my Fall Solo Cup run, so I decided to full on OROBOROS them by including 1x in this round 2!

Ghost Rose x Cookie Devil (@ReikoX )

Again, another one that I hope I do justice with how I’ve seen the plants created by OG’s very own Knight of the BlakSvn!!!

BOG SourBlutooth (@corey )
CONTINOUSLY IMPRESSIVE; hard to say more tbh.

Crockett’s Tangie (@GCBudz )
It’s still sporting weird MUTO leaves but I don’t care. It’ll be raised as the freak it wants to be even if it doesn’t normalise.

UK CHEESE: Clone 1
Fugly top but it’s the roots that matter at this point… I keep telling myself. :rofl: :+1:

Thanks for checking in! :heart:
