Growing With Mr.Sparkle : 2021

It was looking pretty thin I’d went and posted a reminder over at the seed addition post figured I’d grab some interest from there . Lol seemed to work

I’ve got a purple lemonade next to my lemon pie right now. Was thinking same thing. Since I don’t have any sts or cs yet and haven’t made seeds quite yet I’ll leave that one to the pro thou!

Just back from a funeral.
I won!!!
Many thanks to Mr Sparkle for his generosity. Can’t wait to get some lemon pie in my life. Was wondering. Is this an indica leaner or sativa. And does it really smell like lemon?

So far of the ones ive grown out of these seeds mind you not to completion due to pH issue they definitely are sativa wise as far as structure and they did give off a lemony smell it wasn’t heavily pronounced though at least was noticeable to me, usually i dont carry any weight to what people name something as to me the name rarely matches or is near what they suggest in this case there does seem to be some lemon there.

Monday update

Have migrated to hand watering the Cinderevil with just plain water, and will do so till the end when seeds are viable.

Also moved the rest back to the other side yesterday though they are not as spry comparably, back left was light and needing water the rest i just figure lower humidity as they don’t have the big plant helping them in that department.

mid week update

Ended up moving all the plants back together just to keep that humidity up a bit higher. Also the Spotted limes didn’t like the cut back from too much feed to just water so im back as it at a lower level and consistent watering and will progress back in as needed.

Also likely im just gonna pick up a coco bag when the next round comes or i finish up my current promix HP bag if these start to increase pace.

Seed Saturday update.

Plants all moving along slowly, plucked some fan on the Cinderevil it still needs at least another week for the seeds.

The Spotted Limes are all females so i may have to hit one with STS right soon if i want to make seeds from them, they are all slow growing though with some lowers going yellow for no reason at the ec and pH they are receiving and showing so may just need to blast them with some higher feed and see what they do, and to finish out all the other seeding are slowly building.

Next run im heading back to coco as i just think Promix HP can’t handle small container growing, seems to work respectfully well with larger media volumes just its not working for where im running and im tired of the failures to this point with it.

As for the Seeds to give away this morning two more packs of the lemon pies, respond if interested before 12pm pst which is 2h:45mins or so from this post and ill make a random selection of those who are interested.

How late in the autos life can you spray with sts and still be affective?

Also is their a brand of coco you reccomend? I’m a big fan of promix hp so I’d like to try the coco In smaller containers as well and see the difference. Could be on to something there that I never thought about.

(not entering give away, won in past)

@curiouscat received some different stickers the other day so used those, have some holographic glitter ones as well that are imo better than the ones above down side though is writing on them isn’t really possible with normal ink from say a nib or ballpoint pen so will either need to get a fine point marker, so do what i did above and used a acrylic ink that i had to set aside to dry so it wouldn’t smudge.

Also @cannabliss threw his name in just did it in a PM, tagging you here just to make it easier when i do my random dice rolls later.

@Chronickyle honestly i dont know, CS though you could start 3-4+ weeks in and still get pollen, the main issue is once they start flowering they start to produce more hormones and chemical to support flower growth and to change that to suppress the ethylene production to produce pollen sacs you have to come in alot more aggressively as you need to build it up. So why i said i need to get on it as say if i wait 4days to a week its gonna be alot harder than say right now just as they are starting switch over to flower, and have had good results from canna brand coco, which i can get locally personally dont bother with bricks unless you dont have to, pre-wash bagged stuff if worth the extra cost for the time.
