Oh man what an opportunity :sweat_smile: ever since I got a few dark sparks as one of my first ever seeds from og and expanded my knowledge on plant smell profiles I wanted more, everything in my box is dark spark x blueberry cause my attempt at using cs resulted in a severely deformed 3 inch plant that refused to throw pollen, planning my next run to f1 (I think?) and try to regain the dark colours and stronger fruity smell hehehe.

Also guess to those getting the dual packs, if you can’t figure them out or just to prevent any explosive seed mixing from aggressive tearing, this is how they look without the paper covers, so peel back one side or the other if just wanting a couple seeds out of them, ideally i should have a cut line down the center so only one side can be pealed at a time, but hey trying something new and just playing around made up a few different designs such as dual holders or single slot ones but they were printed on my somewhat recently acquired sla 3D printer.

Maybe i’ll start up a separate thread with the designs so anyone who has a printer can print them if they wanted.

Day 8/4/2

Going along, the old dark devils are all pretty much showing some crinkle or mutant like issues mind you did a reset on there media last night just to see but runoff ec was high at 2.2 so changed to a 6sec watering every 12hrs to force some change over vs the 3 secs it was at that just kept the coco wet. Also dropped the pH to 5.65-5.7 range just to see but i am uncertain on that as i have been using a new meter and even though calibrated in comparison to my indicator drops what would be a 6ish on the drops is a 6.4 on my meter, so its making me question the indicator drops which wouldn’t be a big surprise that they would be off in that part of the range, but till i have some bigger and non mutant susceptible plants aka anything other than the old dark devils, i wont really know.

Other than that dunked 4 more seed last night, some of the cookie devil h2’s as i have two spare spots and expect i may be pulling some of these crinkles if they dont change course.

Day 10/6/4

Slow going, overwatered so they have been sans water for a day now and the right side these old dark devils definitely seem like they had something happen to them when they were developing as seeds as only the initial grow seem decently effected and they seem to be growing out of whatever issues they have, well undecided on the litter ones yet and one of the bigger ones is definitely has the crinkle leaf cell growth pattern, just wont be a strong grower from past experience. So may end up removing it and putting the one seedling that doesn’t have a watering spot in its place.

Left side, the Poisoned Rose x Cookie Devil’s all seem healthy and have nice growth going, the back right plant i think hit the red poison and dark devil combo out of the genetics, just cause of the lighter green color and under color to the stems and cotyledons which is interesting.

Also new pots, waiting on some Cookie Devil h2’s to break the surface, also trying some promix potting mix in these pots cause why not, oh and those are filled to a 1 liter mark so they have roughly 2.5 times the volume as you see them of the smaller pots.

do you think the bigger pots will make a much of a difference, even with your watering system I remember you saying root bound wasn’t really an issue for you

3 Likes

well the root binding isnt really an issue in coco or movable mediums unlike LECA but im doing it for increased volume as you can only grow as big as the root mass allows so bigger root mass bigger plants. As that last run the small pots definitely kept the plants in check with minimal intervention.

Really just playing with things.

The Cookie Devil H2’s are just emerging today, one of them is gonna have 4 cotyledons which is neat guess will see if any specific mutation or oddities pop up with this one.

If that was mine - this is where I would start calling that one “Lucky” :rofl: :call_me_hand:

Day 12/8/6/1

All growing, some definite issues on the right side but make me wonder if it wasn’t damage that occurred during seed formation for these older seeds, also everything got over watered and is jsut back to normal now a couple days later, so starting on small single manual waterings again, also removed the one bigger crinkle leaf plant for the normal reasons, other than that may combine the day numbers for the middle plants on the next update and just split the difference so im not tracking 4 dates.

Day 15/10/4

Guess there finally growing, gonna start spraying the biggest DD “front left” to get some pollen, but interesting to note all the plants on the right side except the back right come from a different mother than what i made the darksparks with, and it interesting that its only that back right thats showing that somewhat characteristic lighter hue so im interested to see what happens in future generations using this side for seeds.

Also everything i back on auto watering again except the big pots but was tuned back down to 3sec every 12hrs, the larger plants though are wanting more as there pots are on the lighter side so i’ll have to adjust the timing shortly.

Day 17/12/6

Oldest ones are flowering, the one ive been meaning to spray has well been missed a few times although its been sprayed during the day but its just better at lights out as then the CS spray sits around longer.

Also running into where the right side cab the older ones want more water but the young ones don’t need it with them running on the same timer, so i can split them off to there own timers but don’t really want to.

Left side is going along as well, been getting a bit of leaf curl on the older ones but been running higher temps with lower than ideal humidity so its not really a surprise.

As for feed they are all getting 1.55ec of MC and mixed it to 5.7pH initially, well the bigger potted promix plants on the left have only pH’ed water in their res as the potting mix im trying already has nutrients in it, so gonna run water till i looks like i need to add some.
