Growing With Mr.Sparkle : 2021

Usually No, it may flower immediately, or will keep growing and just be shorter then it would’ve been otherwise. Most I see just bend the top over and get big multicola plants that way ^^

edit: My bad! You asked him directly, I would also be interested in his answer :slight_smile:

Nods, with such a short lifespan, I’ve always figured the LITFA was the best approach, but I’ve seen so much info on both sides. :rofl::rofl:

You can and they will continue on but no need to do so, id let it grow then just flop it once it starts to stretch which will allow the side shoot to catch up

That’s a very interesting and clever way of controlling nutrient uptake in over fertilized soil, I could have done with trying this on the Sour Diesel x Snow Lotus I just harvested. I was going to flush the 2 pots and check the pH of the run off. I believe they have nutrient burn, if that is the case I may experiment with using a higher pH water in those pots instead of trying to flush out the macro nutrients which is always difficult and in no till soil.

Thanks :+1:

well for me its the opposite nutrients are getting locked out or take up at a slow rate due to the inherent low pH of the soiless mix so to counter that im feeding high pH to counter it.

Monday update

Left side PRxCD’s are at 6 weeks so at least another 2.5-3 weeks to go barring seed ripeness on the one, the C9D’s “Cinderevils” are a couple days younger with the STS sprayed plant im expecting to start dropping pollen in the next couple of days as some of the pollen sacs are changing color to that light yellow hue and are starting to split slightly, its gonna get punted to the top cab on the first open/opening pollen sac i see just to allow the other Cinderevil to bulk up a bit more and not pollinate the other two plants.

Right side, they are all growing with a couple of expected possible weaker plants just as they have kicked into flowering and had a rough start, also planted some GSD’s yesterday as i wasn’t ready to sacrifice some of my lower count number seeds that were gifted to me to this iteration of this soiless mix, though next seeds if these go well will be as there will be spots once some selections come along.

Going back in your thread I think you started spraying STS 3 weeks ago, is that correct?

maybe would have to go back as well… yeah three weeks also stopped spraying by the looks of it around 10-11days ago

Wednesday update

Left side moving along, the pollinated PRxCD that was also sprayed with sts that wasn’t showing anything is now finally throwing out the odd pollen sac just cause its slowing down though due to the change up i just started plucking them instead of letting them go.
The Cinderevil that’s there i keep expecting or i should say wanting to bulk up a bit more or go through a second flush but currently it doesn’t really look that way and probably is just a lesser plant which is a bummer though ill still pollinate it with the other one int he top cab just to make it full auto seeds, may have to do a second run of the 1/4 autos if i don’t like the outcome of this or just move on to something else all together.

Top cab Cinderevil which i expect ill start collecting some pollen this weekend, note the top was chopped off of it if wondering.

Right side cab

All doing decent, a bit of clawing on some which may just be overload of nutrients with the repot and feed watering so i’ll probably alternate between feed and straight water till it levels out, though saying that im leaning towards keeping only those plants that are a bit slower to flower as the quicker one will probably just end up being sticks as they start to stretch more, liking the shape of most of the lemon pies and a few of the others such as the wide but squat GRCD int he centre though im questioning whether it was a mix up and that is actually a lemon pie, hopefully it doesn’t remain that squat and is just waiting as im liking it so far.

Soo I rubbed one of the lower sugar leaves had to get the profile, maybe just fn maybe im to high but I swear it’s all fruit loops on the scent :sweat_smile:

Saturday update

Left side, moving along, the “Cinderevil” got pollinated last night with some crushed up pollen sacs as none had really started to open normally, but we will see in a day or two which ill collect some more pollen today and chop that other plant. Also need to make room for the other plants on this side so you will see another res added back in on the next update.

Right side all growing and looking decent, abit small for my liking though with me almost killing them and them transitioning to flower at that point im also not complain at how well there doing. Also have 4 Cookie Devil f2’s up one of them is lagging, and also 5 out of 8 Spotted lime F2’s i planted recently, still expect one or two of the others to still poke up eventually.

Feed wise on the plants think ive been hampering them slightly going feed then water trying to slowly get around the leaf clawing and possible nitrogen excess, so gonna approach it different and just come in with a lower feed and increase it as they show they want it im still feeding at high ph of 7.5ish. Also need to separate these out and maybe hook up the auto waterers.

As for Seed Saturday got these up to offer this week, they were a side cross of the DarkSparks i was playing with that i didn’t end up following, again random selection between those that respond saying your interested in say the next 6hrs from the time of this post, consider though if you’ve gotten some in the past maybe allow some others a higher chance this week :wink: . Were here for seed growing not seed hoarding lol.

Came from two of these plants

mmm that Cinderevil looks real nice! Hopefully the pollen works out for you :crossed_fingers::pray:
Strange on the PH issue still :thinking: Are those all in coco or soil? I thought you were doing coco before…

I’ll toss my name into the hat for the dark side cross. My buddy has started on the dark sparks you gave me last year and they seem to be doing pretty good for him. I need to get some pic’s from him to post.

Not tossing my hat in the ring

Fem auto, I am all for it. I have gotten some awesome seeds here. I am mixing the older seeds I had, with some I bought with some reg. I am hoping blue velvet will be the one of the two I am hoping to find.

:seedling: :green_heart: :four_leaf_clover:

I’m always in for autos. Those are the ones I have the least of but, hopefully that’s going to change, if the grow that I’m working on. I hope to have some crosses to share. Although, I am very interested, I would let someone else have a chance. I have one of @Mr.Sparkle strains on the way but doesn’t mean that I’m not interested. I hope that all is well with everyone. Be safe and Stay HIGH :v:t4:

They are in a half/half mix of Promix HP and Promix potting soil, so peat causing them to be acidic and one of the bags i grabbed or both very well probably went acidic so just working around that.

But yeah was in coco, may go back after i go through this stuff but i want to get a few grows in on it to work out the kinks and see it to a definitive point.

Dude, I think what your doing is awesome. Haven’t been here in awhile took a bit to get caught up but everything looks awesome as usual. I’ll throw my name in the hat if thats cool. I need to give them autos another shot.
