Okay, so I’m doing my part to try to get people to start calling Doc D’s seeds “Magic Spirit Seed Company” instead. “Doc D” is just so much easier to type, though haha.
Anyway, so this is my grow report for the Mexican Death Sativa x Dragon Energy, along with Bodhi’s Black Triangle and Skunk Va’s Chem Fuego, which is (Sour Diesel x Headband) crossed with his 91 Chem bx3 male. I love Sour Diesel and supposedly the Fuego tastes similarly. I’m really hopeful that that’s true.
I planted the majority of these seeds on May 1. All five of the Mexican Melon seeds sprouted, although they were the last to break dirt. Took five days. I also planted five each of the Black Triangle and the Chem Fuego, but only four of the Chem Fuego sprouted and only three (!) of the BT’s. So I planted two more of the BT’s and one of the Chem Fuego seeds on May 7. The sixth Chem Fuego seed also didn’t sprout, so I just said,“Fuck it,” and didn’t bother with any more. Only one of the Black Triangles that I planted on May 7 sprouted, leaving me with five Mexican Melons, four Chem Fuego and four Black Triangles.
I also planted four of @nube’s Pura Vida f2’s. One of those didn’t sprout and the other three have all turned out male. Serious bummer. I was looking forward to those. nube was generous enough to send me quite a few of those beans, though, so I’ll get back to them at some point soon.
Just as an aside, check out this one mutant Pure Vida f2:
All of the leaves, like, fused together at the second node. Never seen that before. I was actually planning on growing it out until the end, but then it started yellowing up like that and new growth ceased, so I tossed it.
Anyway, I ended up with only two female Mexican Melons, three female Chem Fuego and three female Black Triangles. One of the Black Triangles, the #4, is a week behind everything else.
Mexican Melon #1 veg day 23:
MM#1 veg day 38:
And MM#1 veg day 48 (two days ago):
The Mexican Melon #1 started out with rounder, fatter leaves than the other four, which led me to believe that maybe she was a Dragon Energy leaner, but she seems to have grown out of that. I dunno. I also gotta say that as these have been growing, I was like,“Damn, man, these plants look so familiar to me… What is it that they’re reminding me of?” Then I realized they’re growing a lot like the bag seed I used to plant in my mom’s backyard from the brick weed I used to get when I was like thirteen, fourteen years old. They’ve definitely got wider internodes than anything else I’ve ever grown. But so do the Black Triangles and the Chem Fuego. It’s weird. Usually my starts are super-compact and will have like six or seven nodes when they’re only like three inches tall. But these have all been very stretchy. I dunno why. I’m not doing anything different than I’ve ever done.
Anyway, here’s the Mexican Melon #2, the other female. This one is growing pretty weird, I tried to get pictures to illustrate what’s going on with it, hopefully it’ll be noticeable. But basically, it’s just kind of throwing branches wherever. It’s pretty cool-looking, actually.
Veg day 23:
Veg day 38:
Veg day 48 (I took a shitload of pics to try to show what exactly she’s doing, hopefully y’all can see it):
Can you see that? How there’ll be one branch growing out to the left and then like half an inch above there’s a branch growing out to the right? Also, the branches aren’t really “opposite” each other. Like, there’ll be one branch and then, instead of the corresponding branch growing 180 degrees opposite, it’ll be like 110 degrees opposite. Or even 90 degrees opposite. I dunno if I’m explaining it properly haha, but that’s the best I can do. It’s pretty cool, anyway. Never had a plant grow like that before.
Anyway, here’s the Black Triangle #1 on veg day 23:
BT#1 veg day 38:
Looks like I forgot to take pictures on veg day 48, but she looks like a weed plant haha.
Here’s the Black Triangle #2 veg day 23:
Black Triangle #2 veg day 38:
And BT#2 veg day 48:
Here’s the Black Triangle #4, which is a week behind everything else, so this is veg day 31, but the pics were taken on the same day as the day 38 veg pics of everything else. Make sense? Haha:
And here are the Chem Fuegos, starting with the #1, veg day 23:
Chem Fuego #1 veg day 38:
Chem Fuego #1 veg day 48:
Here’s the Chem Fuego #2 veg day 23:
Chem Fuego #2 veg day 38:
Chem Fuego #2 veg day 48:
And the Chem Fuego #4 veg day 23:
Chem Fuego #4 veg day 38:
Chem Fuego #4 veg day 48:
Shit, looks like I forgot to take pics of her on day 48. But you get the idea…
Anyway, after I took all of those day 48 pics, everything but the Black Triangle #4 was transplanted into their seven gallon air pots. That was two days ago. I’ll transplant the BT#4 in five days. On July 1, I’ll be flipping. Even the BT#4 will be getting flipped on July 1, which isn’t necessarily ideal. I like to give them two weeks in their flowering pots before I flip, but I don’t want to be dealing with all of that haha. I actually have one of Doc D’s The White x Dragon Energy in veg, too, planted it on May 14, two weeks after everything but the BT#4. Shit is just getting too much to keep track of haha! I don’t know how some of y’all do it… Anyway, that The White x DE seems to have just kind of stalled out. It’s been stuck on the fifth node for like a week now, I dunno what’s going on. But if it snaps out of it, I’ll include her in this grow log, too.
So yeah, chugging along. The Mexican Melons are really stinky already. And not just that generic “weed seedling” kind of smell, but a full-on “jar full of buds” kinda smell. Pretty stoked about them. And everything else, too.
@Chiefer88 @lambchopedd @PlantShepherd @MantisTobogganMD @iamyou_youareme @stanknugzz77 @Guitarzan @iggypuffs @Panamajock @misterbee I know you all asked me to tag you for this log, so here we are. Kind of sucks that I only ended up with two Mexican Melon females, but they’re both pretty different from one another, what with the #2 growing branches all randomly and stuff. Still, it would’ve been nice to get three females from those five seeds. Or four. Or five haha.
Flipping on July 1.
