Growing with Mr.Sparkle : Trials & Progression 2020

[Mr.Sparkle]

plus with the consistant washing away of what the plants give back to their root zone or consistant feed situation which is another thing ive been becoming more aware with over time with my coco and auto watering and when its running too much the plants are impacted where they aren’t able to self regulate to a degree or tune in their own root zone to what they like giving what they are given, but id start with nixing the pool shock for a bit just to see.

@MumenRyder and your not littering up this thread, its as good of a place as any for discussion

[casperdeigh]

whats the dimentions of the cabnet and what lights ?

[HolyAngel]

Everything is listed in the first post. 3x3x3 cabs and bridgelux eb gen 2’s with XLG-100-L-AB drivers…

[Mr.Sparkle]

3’x3’ would be huge in comparison @HolyAngel each side is roughly 50cmx57cm which is about 3.06sqft in imperial measurements , oh heights like 28.75" or 73cm for got that.

but yeah bridgelux eb2 and xlg-100-l-ab drivers, but they are running alot less “60-75w” and ive removed some strips since my starting posts so only running 10 of the 280mm 3500k strips per side vs my original 14.

Day 63/54/34

Update wise, was playing with watering times on both sides and they went a little dry but i was monitoring roughly just to see so no real issues happened other than to the Short seeded GSCxDD which with the watering, being late into flower, and coupled to me removing the 2nd circulation in each cab casued a lower branch on that GSCxDD to dry a little become weak then got re hydrated but some mold spore got hold on the inner stems… also has been really humid here as well so combo of issues.
oh well, gave those spots some sprits with h202 just for now and i chop it in a couple days or at least the effected spots.

So figure i might as well start refilling the left side res with lower feed to get them to fade out and finish out those seeds.

Also put back in the 2nd circulations fans for each cab but moved them up from where they were before.

Right side though doing quite well, the flopped top hasn’t rebounded yet, but it will eventually, just gave it a bit too much i guess. Getting a few leaf issues down low but i just think its cause its pulling hard on stored reserves to create buds, so will be playing with my feed levels to be a bit higher on the start on the next round.

Otherwise looking good, can definitely see that my limiting factor this round is root space, but has kept the plants really manageable so not really an issue just an observation if i was hunting yields.

[HolyAngel]

Ah, my mistake. I remembered you saying 3sqft and got confused when I replied
Everything is still looking sharp as always sir!

[Mr.Sparkle]

Day 65/56/36

Seeded plants are on reduced feed now, also snipped out a couple sections of lower bud on the GSCxDD cause of mold and harvested the usable seeds from it, still will give them another week or two, and the GT2xSBR is coming along as well.

Right side starting to fill in, did a light top soil scrape and dump to provide a bit more room for watering, allowed me to extend my watering times by 2 secs from 5 to 7secs as they were starting to stay fairly light between waterings so instead of decreasing the time between events i opted to water a bit longer per event. Also its that time of the season so some fungus gnats got in and populated the one res so that got a clean out last night on a refill anyways just gonna watch and continue on.

Running out of time though three weeks left before i take off for a week and half, so think the flowering plants will get relegated to the deck with their reservoirs, as i would have to change to my bigger reservoirs to get 10-12+ days out of them and wont have the height to do so also would prefer not to have stuff running when im away, as it just easier on the mind, plus putting them on the deck will slow them down just cause they wont get much sun and will need less water because of it, so they make it they make it, they don’t they don’t.

So far from what im seeing from this green pheno side branch it isn’t doing much for me, so those seeds will probably end here only have a couple dozen anyways.

That main trunk is looking fiiiiineeeee

[Mr.Sparkle]

Day 68/59/39

Think i may start chopping off some one the ripe buds on the GSCxDD and get them drying come the weekend. Others moving along, with not much outward looking change “little boring” but hey just part of it.

Right side is starting to bulk up but i dont expect too much as these all appear to be fluffier leaning phenos apart from the front right being less so.

[Mr.Sparkle]

Day 72/63/43

Not much change in picture difference from my last couple pictures, but an update anyways.

Right side trimmed off some of the buds on the GSCxDD back on thurs or friday, and collected some seeds from those parts, at around 350+ with that and i just took that plant off water yesterday so im just gonna let it dry in place. The RPxSBR i could do the same as its seeds are good as well, leaving just the GT2xSBR which needs another week or two.

Right side still filling out with some orange pistils here and there, back two plants are willow leaning expressions so they are a little fluffy, otherwise only two weeks left before im gone, so still thinking they will be moved to the deck when that happens.

[Mr.Sparkle]

Day 75/66/46

The seeded RPxSBR will be chopped on the weekend, but the GT2xSBR will go till next week, they have been on just water for the last bit.

As for the right side well they aren’t going to get the time they need to fully finish if i have my chop date before i leave so boo to that, but just gonna have to relegate them to the deck and see if they survive, and tape down the pots to the reservoirs as i know a strong wind would knock them over, so ill get to half setting stuff up this weekend or mid next week.

And a seed shot of the GSCxDD f2’ seeds should have right around 600 seeds from that little plant.

[Papalag]

Nice looking seeds very informative thread
Thanks for sharing
Paps

[beacher]

I missed the GSC x DD history. I’m assuming it’s girl scout cookies? From what breeder? Also did you take it to full auto?

[Funciona1971]

Awesome work.
Congratulations.

[Mr.Sparkle]

Was a freebie I got a while back, but yeah GSC from fastbuds but also have heard that their’s isn’t real GSC or part of it and that it isn’t similar, them just hype train naming possibly ??? That though I can’t confirm or deny it just was a plant that grew well so I made seeds with it using some Dark Devil pollen at the time

[beacher]

Ya there’s alot of GSCs out there. I’ve grown a couple myself and they were both different so who knows. I’ve read nothing but positive things about fastbuds autos so whatever it is is probably good lol

Should be an interesting cross with the DS, I wonder if the flavor of the spark will carry over. I’ve crossed the dark spark with 2 strains now and haven’t tried the results yet. It’s a very unique plant!

[Mr.Sparkle]

for these they didn’t maybe added a little sweetness to them and a bit of color but otherwise no and i have grown them out before, these were just my last seeds of them so reversed one and hit those three plants with pollen one of them being another GSCxDD, but saying that with these new seeds being f2’s it will be interesting to see what come out of the mix.

[Icculus]

Great looking seeds! Will those be feminized autos too?

Are you going to share pix of the girls left outside to figure out the real world?

[Mr.Sparkle]

yeah there fem autos, and those plants above on my right side cabinet will be moved to the deck when the time comes, no separate un-shown plants out there.

[invisible]

Took a while to catch up on this thread it moves so quickly. Looks like you got everything dialed in @Mr.Sparkle.

What are RPxSBR & GT2xSBR ?

My first attempt a at reversal with CS was a fail. I’ve got some new bits and I’m making a slightly different generator this time. I wasted a few weeks on to plants but that’s how it goes I guess. I’m gonna run another grow first then get back to trying to reverse and pollinate a couple of autos after this run.

Hopefully second time lucky and I have some success like you have
