FirstCavApache64 ongoing grow journal and pollen chucks

Me too! I have my first TK cut about 4 weeks in flower now. Dry and cure is gonna be hell, wait wise.

I’ve wanted to run it ever since I ran Steve Lemme OG x Triangle Kush seeds in one of my first decent grows about 6 years ago. It was just always too hard to find a clean, legit cut that wasn’t crazy expensive. I’m super happy with Cannaventure Seeds clones and I’m already eyeing his Irene for down the road.

The height problem I’m having with MB 15 is affecting almost all the other plants in the tent. I had to dial the light down pretty low to not scorch all the colas on Motorbreath 15 and the others are looking for more light. It’s a reminder how critical canopy height control is when running a bunch of new strains.
I’m worried the pollen didn’t take even though I bombed the heck out of the branches I hit and left it on without rinsing it. It looked caked up when I got it from the mail and I figured it had just gotten smooshed by the rollers at the post office but I’m worried now that the humidity was just too high at that time and it may have affected it. Time will tell and hopefully I’m just missing the signs that it took. Genius Thai Extreme x Chocolate Trip has been doing well as it is right at the perfect height and in the center of the light. Purple Punch is also looking nice and smells just like a grape Nehi soda. GMO x Granny Skunk and Bubblegum are struggling for enough light but are slowly starting to fill out.

SCROG nets are a wonderful thing. (Bend and tuck)

Supercrop them! Just pinch the branch and lay it down. I just had to do it with my Ghost Train Haze x Blue Sunshine from @VAhomegrown (You ain’t lying, it’s stretching hard)

I had to do it to that GMO Granny Skunk last round and she loved it.

I’ve done scrog a couple times but I need to be able to get to the plants in the back as the sides are tight to the walls. I have a really bad back so climbing under the net isn’t an option. They’re great for canopy control and big yields for sure. Just doesn’t work for me.

It’s week 7 of flower so I don’t want to stress em and they’re stiff as can be right now. I supercropped MB 15 heavy but just ran out of time as the branches get brittle after a couple weeks of flower. It was a mother plant that I decided to flower even though I figured it was too big. Live and learn lol.

Dude that looks pretty good! Nice color! What kind of smells is it putting off?

Still looks pretty great in there regardless, sucks having competing canopy heights I know all too well, in fact that’s why I said screw it when I overvegged everything and just decided to cut and re-start . I knew it would be more struggle than it’s worth. You have me really wanting to try that PP now that sounds amazing! And the Trinity I cannot wait to see!

That GMO x Granny Skunk goes through changes in flower. Normal weed smell, then sour apple candy for a few weeks, then rounds off to a very intriguing sour mothball/brut aftershave kinda stank.

It’s one of the only strains that is like catnip to me, I can’t stop smelling it and just can’t get enough of the scent. If we ever go back to wearing masks again, I’m gonna stick a bud of this in it so I can smell it allllll day

I did pickup some rotten apple kind of smells at around week 4 in flower. I’m going to run it again next run or the one after as I can tell it wanted more light than it got. The stretch was more than anything I usually grow and caught me napping for sure. I’ll have it topped multiple times and flower earlier in the next run. Thanks for the cut, it will be a keeper for awhile.

She was a sleeper keeper. I got it from a buddy who popped the seed and cloned it a couple times and never found the room in the flower tent to run it. He then quit growing and asked if I wanted it or else it was going to the compost. I took a clone and flowered it out and was very pleasantly surprised.

She likes a lot of light. I had her grow up an inch away from my lights and expected some bleached tops but she soaked it all in and came out perfect.

The GTE X Chocolate Trip is another gem. Unfortunately I lost her clone I had by dropping it and couldn’t get it to bounce back.

Started week 10 this past weekend and the plants are starting to bulk up finally. Still lots of white pistils so I’m guessing 2-3 weeks before chop. Veg tent is backing up waiting for this run to finish so I’ll take some cuts in a week or two for the next flower run. Hope everyone is doing well and their gardens are green.

Thanks bud. Just hoping for some seeds to finally show up. Your plants are looking really good.

Today is day 70 from flip and they’re really putting on some weight. Been adding pipe cleaners daily to keep them from flopping over. Still probably 2-3 weeks before I’ll start chopping to be sure the seeds are mature.
We finally got a break from the high 90 degree days we had most of the week and I’m loving it. Hope everyone had a great weekend and your gardens are bursting with buds.

Looking real good. I bet that tent has a whirlwind of different smells.

And 2-3 more weeks??? Those things will be exploding!!

Purple Punch will be ready I’m pretty sure by then. They’re taking their sweet ass time ripening. I’m thinking the low light they’re getting has extended flower possibly. I’m itching to get Triangle Kush and Trinity in the flower tent too.
