JD Black Pearl Collection Grow

[Old-Ron]

This is my J.D. Black Pearl Collection grow courtesy of @Instg8ter. I put 3 each of the following into Jiffy Starter pods, soaked in a ph’d water and kelp solution, on Sunday September 14 @9pm:

• Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai
• Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai,
• SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai
• AK x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai.

So far, only the Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai had all 3 sprout; 2 each of the other strains. I placed the pods that germinated into solo cups today with an organic soil mix. I will see if the others germinate over the next few days.

Always glad to have you along for the ride @Gpaw

With everyone about a week old, one is less do to germinating behind the rest, I have noticed some fast growth on some. I think soaking the pods in the kelp water before putting the seeds in helped this across all my current grows.

Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai, seems to have the most consistent growth among all the plants.

Everyone got moved into 3/4 gallon pots last night. They will stay in them until they show sex. The Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai seems to have the most consistent growth across the 3.

[Old-Ron]

Cleaned up some of the lower leafs. Turned the led up some, plants did not like it. I will wait another week or so to turn it up again. Plan on putting them into flower in a few weeks. All are 3 weeks old.

The Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai shows the most consistent growth among all the plants.

One of the AKP has some burn on a few leaf tips. I think it was from the light increase, since it showed up on a few other plants. They are only getting some cal/mag added once a week.

[Old-Ron]

Since my work schedule has been busier lately, I have not been able to update the grow in a while. The plants are just over 4 weeks old.

They are in organic soil. Had one feeding of liquid kelp and just got their second feeding of Medusa’s Magic last night. Fed every week with cal/mag and sweet. The soil was amended with EWC, blood meal, bone meal, DE and lime. They are running under LEDs with 480-watt drivers. They are set around 80%. Each plant is in .7 to 1 gallon pots until they sex.

The Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai has the largest average size per plant at 8”, and is probably the most consistent among the grow. Spacing is consistent on both between nodes. Both have large leaves that have started growing 9 fingers.

BP x PT. This one is second largest plant of the Thai run at 8.5"

This one is 7.5"

There is quite a difference between the 3 AK x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai. They have a large difference between them in size and structure of the plant. They range from 5” to 8.25”. Though their leaf size is similar in comparison, they do not have much more in common so far.

This one is 5" and is the smallest of the entire run. It has tighter spacing then the others and is just starting 7 finger leaves.

This one is 6.5". It has the tight spacing and the bushiest of the plants. It is starting 9 finger leaves.

This one is one of the largest plants of the grow at 8.25". It has the largest spacing between the 3. It is starting 9 finger leaves.

The Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai has the largest difference between the 3 plants at 4”. It has one of the smallest plants and the largest plant of this grow. They are all bushier than the rest on a consistent basis.

This one is 5.5" making it one of the smaller plants. It is just starting 7 finger leaves

This one is 6.25" and has started 7 finger leaves.

This in the tallest plant of the grow at 9.5". There is more spacing between the nodes then the other 2 plants. Unlike the others this one has 9 finger leaves already. This one I plan to cut back to the 3rd node to open the plant up more and create more tops.

The SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai has the most consistency between all the plants. They have a half inch difference between the two of them. They are very similar in structure and appearance.

This is the second smallest plant of the grow at 5.5" Has tight spacing and has just started 7 finger leaves.

This one is 6". It has more stretch and spacing between the nodes then the other plant, but seems to be bushier. It has started 9 finger leaves.

[Old-Ron]

Everyone got a heavy feeding of organic nutrients last night. Growth has been a little slower it seems compared to the other grows. None have shown sex yet. All the plants are over 5 weeks old.

The Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai has the largest average size per plant at 11.75”. It has the second largest plant of the Black Pearl Grow at 12.5” Spacing is still consistent on both between nodes.

12.5 inches

11 inches

There is quite a difference between the 3 AK x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai. They have a large difference between them in size and structure of the plant. They range from 6.5” to 12”. Their growth rate between the 3 seems to vary a lot.

6.5 Inches

8.5 inches

12 inches

The Ace Panama x Pineapple Thai has the largest difference between the 3 plants at 4”. They all grew 4” last week and still has the tallest plant of this grow so far at 13”. They are all bushier than the rest.

9 inches

10.5 inches

13 inches

The SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai were the most consistency between all the plants. They had a half inch difference between the two of them. Now there is a 3.5” difference between them.

This one is 5.5 inches and has had no growth since the last update.

This one is 9 inches and has grown 3 inches since the last update.

Great job, those are some healthy looking plants.
I love the structure of the BP x PT, black Pearl is 85%Sativa from Mr. Natural and is very much like Dutch Treat in taste. Structure is Purple Thai with those thick hollow stalks and horizontal laterals. SK x’s are very Bushy hedge shape. Can’t wait to see how they stretch out…excellent diary, helps me to understand how the my foundation strains interact with other base strains…

[YoBigdaddy]

Definitely pulling up a chair. Happy healthy looking plants. Can’t wait to see how that BP X PT turns out it looks as good as it sounds. Great job

[Old-Ron]

Finally have a day from work and travel to update some of the grows. Going to do a partial update right now since it is night time for some of the plants.

2 AP x PT are female. The shortest and the tallest. Each grew 3 inches the last 2 weeks.

AP x PT Female. One of the shortest plants at 12 inches. Tightest, evenly spaced nodes. 9 finger leaves. The bushiest of the grow.

AP x PT Female. 16 inches tall. Tight evenly spaced nodes. Nice structure. 11 finger leaves. Thick stalk. Dense, bushy growth.

BP x PT Female. 13.5 inches tall. Tight, even spacing nodes. Bushy. 9 finger leaves.

AKP Female. 15.5 inches tall. Tight, even spacing on nodes. 9 finger leaves and looks to be starting 11 finger leaves.

[Old-Ron]

All the one gallon pots got fed Wholly Mackerel, Medusa’s Magic and some Cal / Mag on Monday night.
Another female has joined the grow. One of the SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai, showed female Monday night. All the one gallons are in their third day of the flip. Once sex is decided, females will be up potted and any unwanted males will be culled.

The AK x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai are the smallest of the grow and has the biggest difference in the plants size at 7 inches. None of them have been topped.

AKP. Unknown sex. The shortest plant despite not being topped at 8.5 inches. Just starting the growth of 9 finger leaves.Tight node spacing.

AKP 11.5 inches Sex unknown. This plant is 3 inches taller then the other, and 6 inches shorter then the tallest AKP. 9 finger leaves. Tightest spacing of the nodes.

This AP x PT is the only one of the 3 to not show sex. It is in between the other 2 in height at 13 inches. It is starting to have 11 finger leaves. Tight spacing of the lower nodes, they space out further up the plant. Thick stalk.

This BP x PT is the tallest plant of the Black Pearl grow at 17.5 inches. Sex unknown. It is starting 11 finger leaves. Even spacing of nodes. Dense interior growth, but not like some of the other plants.

SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai has the smallest average size of the grow, yet the most consistency between the plants.

SK1. 9.5 inches tall. Sex unknown. Topped about 5 weeks ago. Has grown 3 inches the past 2 weeks. Has 9 finger leaves. Tighter spacing of the nodes.

SK1. 12.5 inches. Female. Has tighter, even spacing of the nodes. Has 9 finger leaves.

Hey @Old-Ron, loving the grow, you are doing great with those plants!

What is impressing me even more is your grow log format.
Precise, focused and uncluttered. (I’m bad with clutter… )

Hopefully your example will help me ‘up my game’

Cheers
