My friends! How have you been! Very busy here at Gravity Rainbow Farms. Let’s dive in.
The grow is doing great!
The two Blue Dreams are fatting up. We probably have another week with them.
Isn’t this a funky ass pic? Don’t know what the red stuff is in the trichs, but I can’t wait to smoke it.
The blue dreams clone simply just looks beautiful. It has about another week, I think. This strain doesn’t have a strong aroma when growing and flowering I found. Even when putting your hands on the bud there is not a strong aroma. Only when you take a sample, let it dry for about 4 days does the true aroma of this Blue Dreams plant really shows up. Smoke a small sample of it just to see and well. .Can’t wait till it has cured 60 days. 
I have questions though about the second BD plant from seed. I don’t think it is a Blue Dreams strain. It doesn’t smell like it and the plant doesn’t have those dark green/bluish leaves like the Clone BD plant. The smell has a diesel smell to it and in my opinion, they look like two totally different plants. I am sure this happens some but has anyone ordered seeds from a bank and had one of the seeds in the strain you ordered not be one of those strains? Not mad or anything in fact that phantom BD plant has bigger buds and smells much better. I know every seed can be different but there are a lot of difference here in my opinion. Thoughts?

Ms. Runtz is doing well but is 3 weeks behind the two BD plants. She learned to play bridge quite well.
I acquired a male freakshow plant since we last talked. I am heading into genetics very soon but not yet and did not want to pass up this opportunity to collect pollen from this plant to use later. It is a very unusual strain and if you saw it in a garden, you would never know it was cannabis unless you looked closely. Next couple of days I will be trying my first attempt at collecting pollen. If you google the strain, you can check out some really freak buds. I need this tent bad, so I hope it hurries up!
Being in the south and it being July going into Aug we got some heat and humidity. Humidity is staying low 48-50% in the tent. The temperature though has been high close to 80F during the day the last week and sometimes higher. The humidity though always is staying around 50%. That window unit is struggling but I think I will be able to make it through it though. The dehumidifier in the tent is taking care of everything and filling up a cooler daily so I will probably drill a hole in the wall of the grow shack and exit the hole there. Tired of emptying that thing every day.
The temp sticks I have been totally impressed and happy with. While e3xpensive being able to have access to this data every 15mins has been awesome. It saved me one night. It was about 800pm and I was not home. The breaker tripped and I started to get a text notice 80% humidity on my phone. When I got home, I checked and found the breaker issue. Had I not been notified of that I would have not known for 15 hours later when I went to go check on things and water. My vegging tent went out so those plants would have gotten an early flip. Sometimes technology is a waste of money, but I don’t think it is the case with these things. I got 3 now.
To offset some of the heat in the grow house I have altered the flowering of the male plant to have lights on when the flowering tent is lights off with a 3 hour overlap so I can tend to them. It helps some.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the microscope I purchased. It really does take all the guess work out of it. Handheld scope or loop isn’t good for me as I have bad eyesight and getting the damn plants to stand still is a feat for younger men with more patience. $105.00 for the thing is a steal in my opinion.
After I get the different strains tested and hopefully finding a couple of males in these seeds, I want to re-breed pure strains. I am not really interested right now in crossing strains but growing a purple Kush male and female or a BD male and female together. Sure, I will play around with freakshow and crossing but my focus is going to be re-breeding pure strains. Seeds are expensive and I can cut this cost buy producing my own.
That is about it my friends. Another update in another week or so once I chop.
Up on deck for next few grows.
Black Berry Kush
Zskittles
Tropical Cookie.
By the look at these pics it is not far from the cap. Does every trich have this happen or just certain ones?
