Ooh, looking forward to watching that one! Plants look great @Cannabinoid keep up the good work my friend!
Thank you, really looking forward to all of these.
Spent time this weekend scrubbing down the 4x4 and equipment. Didnt do a great job in the 3" pots managing watering; overwatered once, then way too dry a couple time. The Romulan cross didn’t deal as well as Sour Grape or Black Candyland. Got a couple slight burns from water spots touching the sides if the domes but overall okay. Should do much better in the tent with controls.
The BBB xBBD is smelling wonderful, buds are solid and frosty. Still have a week or two.
A week or two to go on these still. My buddy provided space for these for us. I stop by to feed and maintain. Never been successful outdoors here, pretty happy. Two reveged clones, thin woody stems, didnt think they would produce. No huge colas like mom but lots of dense smaller buds. Very sweet grape candy smell. One is knocked up with Blue Kush pollen will let that one go longer.
The taller one is a HHCRSF, the dog ate the lower half of the leaves., lol. Getting thicker the last week or so. Smells sweet and a little minty.
No pics for the outdoor update but stopped on the way home and clipped a couple buds to check with the loupe and @10% amber. Buds not as big or dense as the jndoor but kind of expected. Will get a wash and hung this weekend.
Indoors is moving right along. Put em in #1 containers 9 days ago. Supercropped and bent em over about 3/4 days ago. Left to right 4 each is Black Candyland, Sour Bubble, Romulan x Skunk. With the runt BC and SG’'s in the front. Impressed with all of them so far for different reasons.
The internodes on the BOG is crazy tight, will likely veg these longer than the others. JOTI i just love the wide leaf and fat stems, nice internodes on these. The Classic repros are just rockets, none of the training phased them and a couple nearly snapped in half when pinching, got a feeling I may have a hell of a time taming these. Hoping for a 50/50 M/F, could get interesting.
Was a busy weekend. Took down the Blueberry Blast x BBD, the Horny Horse Cherry Red Shitfest, and the Fatso x GSOG Saturday and cleaning and maintenance around the house. Feel like I need another day off.
The HHCRSF, while not much of it smells amazing, sweet, creamy, and something i cant figure out. Buds are dense and firm. With the cool evenings outside the fade and colors on this lady was beautiful. Looking forward to trying this.
The Fatso x GSOG reveged clones are nice. I really abused these initially, actually thought they were dead. Stuck em outside and hoped for something. I didnt expect production like mom, buds didn’t get nearly as dense and big, but covered in trics. Some of the tops are decent, tons of popcorn/larf. Destined for bubblehash.
Indoors the BBB x BBD was incredibly stinky the last week. The burnt rubber smell went away, replaced with a mix of overripe berries, and a funk, just dank funk. The buds are absolutely rock hard, heavy, and sticky af. Really, really nice.
Quick trim and hang to dry.
I have to give another huge thank you to @Rhai88, @Pigeonman for these and the experience growing them out. AND to @DougDawson, @Kushking902, and @SHSC-1 for the next run in progress.
Excellent work! I like the look of that BBB x BBD. Let me know what she smokes like when you get to it.
New run should have some heat in I’m sure. Coming from excellent sources!
Up-potted some from #1s to 3 gallon bags today and culled a couple males. Roots looked really nice, probably should have done it earlier last week…
Back in the tent: 4 along the left side are all Sour Bubble. Still waiting for preflowers to get a little bigger before transplanting. Can’t tell even on 10x zoom yet. Nodes so tight its hard to get the camera in there too.
Went 4 for 4 with the Romulan x Korean Skunk, all female. Those are the 4 center and right. Have a litte skunkiness goin on! These showed preflowers about 4-5 days ago.
Balck candyland gave me 1 female, 2 males for sure, leaning toward a third male. Front center is the questionable one. Seriously has me considering collecting some pollen if confirmed male. The nodes are super tight, squat plant, WLV like the SB.
46 days since cracking packs and soaking. Still not sure about two of the Sour Bubble, but feeling like will be 50/50 male/female. All six in the back 2 rows are ladies. Boys upfront right and 2 waiting to see on the left. Will move 2 males to the 2x4 for a project and flip everything tomorrow. Would like to veg the sour bubble longer but going to be pushing it, needing to be done by February. The skunk cross is going to be super close, praying they finish more on the romulan timeline.
Will probably move the bigger R x KS to the corners and fill in the middle with the smaller ladies.
Gonna kick back with this Blueberry Blast x BBD and chill.
Rearranging things, some light defol and maintenance, getting ready to flip. Found one of the Romulan x Korean Skunk’s is a bleeder. Been growing off and on 30 years and only personally seen this a couple times before, it dried purple. Pretty interesting, will read up on it later.
Been a relaxing weekend but still managed to get a few things accomplished. Little photo dump.
4x4: 6 days post flip with a good feeding, cleaned up the lowers, bent some wild branches. Pulled all interior branched large fans blocking airflow and a few huge ones blocking light. Moved the Romulan crosses to the back and sides, a lot of stretch from these ladies already. Theyre not super happy after the initial stress but should perk up nicely when the lights kick on this evening.
2x4: Selected males for a project. Some defol for airflow after these photos. All are nice and healthy. Really liking the structure of the Black Candyland. Squat, dense, wide leaves. Robust smell.
BOG Sour Bubble 1, Thick, dense, massive fans. More intense smell than the females. Veeeeery sour.
BOG Sour Bubble 2, topped before I knew he was a he. Same super sour stank on stem rub.
Finally busted open Fatso x GSOG buds I dusted with pollen from the male and pollen from Blue Kush. No dice with the Blue Kush, but pulled 13 nice F2 seeds. Disappointed and stoked at the same time. This is excellent smoke, smooth with a strong grape flavor, high yielding. Calling it fate, rethinking now, its likely a better cross with BOG Sour Grapes to keep the flavor profile going.
Spent some time in the yard just appreciating things and very stoned. Grilled some lobster tails.
Perked right up after a rest. Observations; Sour Bubble doesnt drink as much as the others, hangin in with the feed schedule nicely could probably even back off some. Would top sooner next time and defol earlier. The Romulan x Korean Skunk are very thirsty but seem to look better when on the dry side. Only 2 plants have shown any disagreement with the feed/soil in veg, both were these. The Black Candyland is somewhere in the middle with intake, and just groves with whatever I do. Has a very rich, robost stem rub.
Lookin great. Interesting that sour bubble isn’t as thirsty but keeping up in growth. More efficient?
Thanks. Im guessing so. The one in the very center of the tent is raised up about 5 inches thinking just a more squat pheno, but the the same seems to be true for the 2 males and 2 female SB. They are just so much more dense on the interior structures maybe they retain more moisture and dont transpire as much or at a slower rate? Fat fan leaves shade everything.
12 days post flip. Got some moderate stretching. Have the AC infinity High CFM bars on the way for a little extra space to help from squishing the sides. Having struggles with humidity hitting the 60’s the last few days, need to put another fan in there. Last defol next weekend should help some too, may go ahead and pull some from the SB. Have 4 of the Romulan crosses thinking of going full schwaz on one. Ive never done it to that extreme on purpose, could be a good personal comparison. Temps in the garage 63 -76F the last week so will be breaking out the heater soon after initial stretch slows.
The boys are chugggin along, especially the BC. Probably going to eliminate one of the SB, started what looks to be throwing hairs.
Something else I’ve done this run is a change in water source. The tap water here is very hard, ppm avg 525-550 ph around 8. Besides the bad stuff its high in calcium and magnesium. Previously Ive used distilled (gets expensive) or rain water (doesnt rain for months at a time here) or even used zero water filters ( causes ph increase for me). We rent so not installing an R/O system, besides its wasteful too. I used an inline filter on the last outdoor run and didnt have some of the complications i get indoor so why not. Those usually really show around transition to flower and i usually veg about 5-6 weeks.
I know there are a few different brands of these online but picked this Linis Grow up at the grow shop and so far am pleased. It does reduce the ppms by @50% and most chlorine (guessing since algae starts to grow when jugs are left in the sun for a few days, doesnt with straight tap). So far so good and I haven’t checked ph in 6 weeks. I think previous problems were because the added ph solutions would build and jack up the ph of the soil, but I’m no scientist.
Got the high CFM bars in and really like them helping with the footprint Worth the $40 imo. Will certainly help with the nets if/when i need em too.
Some defol a couple days ago maybe a little more this Sunday. Decided against the full stripping down. Prefer to be selective and think besides energy stores they can help be an earlier indicator of issues should I screw something up. Would rather lose some leaf than bud. Seem to be groovin along.
Collected some pollen from each of the boys. Enough in each vial for this purpose.Got he 2x4 completely soaked then sanitized too.
Roughly 3 weeks into flower Starting to get some smell when i open the tent to water/feed. Nothing super distinct yet with three varieties kinda crammed in there but really pleasant. 5 days after additional light defol already filling back in. Look to be getting acceptable light penetration though.
