SPAM + dr.bugbee method journal

I only add the gypsum once when preparing the peat mix (at the start of the grow).

Bugbees tap water is heavier than mine so i need to add calcium in each fertigation (i add it with magnesium via calimagic - because my tap is about 100-120ppm). I add 3g to 4g per 10L. If I dont do that some plants may show calcium def.

This is strawberry headband, smart move, dragons milk x bc/bd, babylon buster, and gg4 all in 1 gal pots.

These were harvested today. im certain of the lilac diesel and goji, the rest im almost sure they are Melonaid Skittlz, Blue Sherbet, and maybe a Xanadu.

This should be blue sherbet

melonaid skttlz

Goji

Xanadu

Excited to see what you produce w the Dragon Milk cross. Im thrilled w it so far. Im getting an incredibly smooth strawberry kush smoke from mine. My hope was to find an occasional Strawberry Milk pheno (from grandma’s side) but in this first test batch, I ended up w 5 of 7 girls w strong strawberry terps all throughout flower which have held through cure. They’ve changed a bit, the strawberry has backed off though it’s still there and especially on the after taste. Really smooth, creamy chem notes dominate the flavor at first pull.

Ok small update. these are all 1 gal pots. week 5 flower.

  1. @Floyd GG4 are looking stellar. smell is a bit on the citrus side but theres also a little earthy/chem from the GG4 S1 i knew. very curious about how these develop.

  1. @catapult dragon milk x black domina/beatrix choice, there is one that smells exactly, exactly, like tangerines.

  1. strawberry headbands have developed a sweet/candy with a bit of citrus, some others smell like candy with a bit of chem/gas. Unfortunately one of the Strawberry headbands has a serious root issue (at first i thought deficiency/ph issue, but a phed flush did not help) imma let her finish if she doesnt start throwing nanners.

  1. the smart moves have a fake/candy lemon smell, reminds me A LOT of Ethos Apex, but sweeter.

thank you for them! i wish i kept a male around (i had a three-cotyledon male that grew well), but i still have more seeds and gg4 plants in veg.

once the pheno hunt is over im planning on switching back to 3-5 gal pots, and see how they grow in there.

I cant seem to find the Dr Bugbee vid that shows is use of Calcim Carbonate in conjunction with Gypsum. I use solution grade gypsum on the off chance its a bit more available to the plants.
I would love to find a updated version of all his amendments he uses at this point and a way to follow any changes they make. I admit I do add a percentage more gypsum than he recommends. And I use Jacks for RO @ about 75% plus less than a gram of Epsom roughly every other feed.

hmmm i dont remember that one. i just remember gypsum.

it should!

they have a paid course.

are you noticing ay deficiencies?

this was the last setup i knew he gave at his course. a user here took some of the lessons. i wish he could share that info with us, but it is prob a sensitive thing to ask…lol.

75% peat, 13% vermiculite, 12% rice hulls, 0.7kg/m3 wetting agent, 1kg/m3 wollastonite, and 1.3kg/m3 hydrated lime.

Epsom does help. I use RO water and that line of Jack’s specifically calls for 1 gram of epsom not sure if other jacks like 321 do or not. I’d be interested in the online thing but for a simple home grower it’s too expensive.

Yeah, epsom is the ‘1’ in 321. :wink:

these are the spirit hashplant + terpenados about to be flipped in 2 days (the one in the corner has me nervous… hopefully that def will stop advancing. i corrected ph and feed, not sure what is causing it… cut the leaf to measure/mark progress of the yellowing)

these (seedlings on solos) are Doc D’s (Magic Spirit) sour d x a5 haze + black energy - really excited about these. Have been trying to get my hands on proven sour diesel cross for a while now, plus the black energy photos that ive seen look great.

there is also a bit of smart move and strawberry headband clones

1 gal pots - 7 weeks.

GG4 by Floyd - all citric/earthy/chem covered in snow.



smart moves - smell like lemon, candy, mint, and some bubblegum. i am really scared these will develop bud rot, continuously checking them.



babylon buster - average earthy smell but it has been a nice grower. no fuzz, no bullshit, nice trichome coverage. i was hoping to have some mango or fruit smell from the dreadbread but nope.

strawberry headband - all smell like burnt tires, citric, chem, and then some sweet. its sort of interesting and a bit of alet down. at first two of them smelled super sweet, but that has faded all the way into the back.




dragons milk - i had three dm x bd/bc female. one i had to cull, another one smells earthy and this one with a very fruity/strawberry smell with nice coverage.

What’s the most potent strain you’ve grown ?

@Billybob hey man not sure why i had not seen this.

mm perhaps GG4 overall. there was a pheno in the Goji OG F2 that was also quite strong.
