Growing with Mr.Sparkle in 2022 : Spring/Summer

Sometimes I have too many that do interest me and I’ll snip off potentially productive branches to make them all fit. If you’ve got some obvious losers though that makes your decision easy :+1:

Hard to pick losers from where I am sitting! Looking awesome sparkle! I bet you are glad to see those orange pistils, especially after thinking the pollination failed to take hold.

well im still holding off as i did spritz them with water couple days later, though the orange pistils kinda are concentrated around the pollinates ones so… possibility

@Foreigner and yeah wouldn’t say losers just in comparison not as good, really i should run things out to the end more often mind you probably would just triple confirm my assumptions i have with some surprises maybe

She definitely is a chonker.

also took a closer look tonight @Dirtron

Gonna get some seeds, not alot but enough to play and continue on, looks like only the new new pistils took hold in a few places and the older ones didn’t take, regardless i hit all the fresh ones on the lower 4 branches that popped up since the last pollination the plant is going through its last burst of pistil growth though.

That plant now that ive growing out some SSC i dont think is one of those, also Yeti said it looked closer to the bubbacrack i also got from him, could also be something else, it presses well whatever it is ill say that.

@curiouscat your growing bud so that a huge win in itself don’t discount that, incremental improvement where or when i can is just how im at currently with so much more to learn.

@Pigeonman thanks

Day 65/50/43(15F)

Lets start with the top cab today, finally did the deed and made some selections reduced down to two Gorilla bubbles which are on the right and two Galactic Hash plants on the left, could of definitely kept one more of each i just wanted a cab back.

Right Cab

Did some shuffling and the plants are going through that last burst of calyx growth which they start to throw out the beginnings of some foxtails also fan and older sugar leaves are getting crispy im thinking its a combo of past damage finally showing as the plant starts consuming them plus the nutrient mix wasn’t ideal or i should say stable through the grow.

Really the photos are being used as a backup test of whether there is nutrient discrepancies or if it was down to user error also thinking of implementing maybe a 2 time flush say week 4 and 7 obviously followed by nutrient water just as i recirculate and it will give the plant a chance to level out the root zone a couple times which may help with the issues.

As for the almost empty left cab… The pollen plant i need to do a collection and dry on and fridge storage or something so i can use it in the next couple months if possible.

Also threw the micro kratky’s in there which were being left alone with massive doses of LITFA and they were also blocked out by the photos in the upper cab, the two smaller ones dampened off early but once they had moved past that and had a root find the water they started to grow, still may start some new seeds to try a couple different things for them.

Now the taller one i had to “N” the stem thus the tape which dropped its height by a good 5+", im not even looking at this thing to get bud off of being so small which i haven’t grown a plant like this since my first ever micro grows now i do have some pollen… and thinking will probably hit this plant with it and stuff it in the hinge corner of any of the cabs and just leave it with maybe some some side cross seeds if it runs to its end.

My autos never look like thar. I’m obviously doing something wrong. Keep doing your thing @Mr.Sparkle. Your plants look amazing.

Its a monday, considering dropping the nute levels by half on next fill as they are doing there end game.

Will be interesting to see what i roughly get out of these as they have only been on 75watts worth of light the entire grow.

Left chamber, just leftovers and the ladies aloe plants found a corner, also a new cell for another bottle working at emerging as i planted it yesterday.

Likely this cab will house some garden starts over the next couple of weeks.

As for the upper cab were into flower now i need to do a little canopy management and still think im gonna run into some trouble.

Everytime I read your updates, I think to myself, this is the way we’re gonna grow herb on the Martian colony’s!
Exquisite efficiency! So little input in relation to output! So clean! Your are a role model from cab growers throughout the inner planets @Mr.Sparkle !:grin:

There is still input whether my work or what not, and some things id love to be a bit different but working with what i got :wink:

External res’s and catch buckets below the cabs with runoff trays in cab for ease of fills and swap out would be awesome plus taller cabs heck just more space in general, but considering what i have done with the space i have and still have part of a closet for storage aswell i know im fortunate to be able to do what i can with what ive done and have so far.

and thanks for the compliments everyone
