Pleased to present to you the 1st and 2nd place trophies 3rd place is on the way

Day 28 Only 3 phenos remain. #1 Been the standout plant since early veg. Her terpene profile is that exact sweet ice-cream on the nose. Her frost development is on point, and she has a large bract size. I'm loving the main cola she is developing too. #6 This is what I would call an average expression of this generation. Nothing too special about her compared to #1. Her terpene profile is also sweet, still developing but not quite that pronounced ice-cream I'm after. Her cola development is distinctly different to #1 #2 This is the gelato dominant pheno. Compact nodes, battling with shade avoidance and not opening up quite as much as I'd like, but the terpene profile is on point, and she has frost and yield development potential. #1 (left) and #6 (right) Overall my main interest is my #1 pheno for this round. The F1 generation gives you the dominant traits of the 2 lines expressed. #1 fits this perfectly, but in the f2s recessive traits from both lines are going to express. This means that while #1 is an absolute stunner of a plant, it may not be the plant here that produces the best set of activated recessive traits in the next generation.

Update, success on the Herijuana Then the established seedlings the Critical popped, upside down, Surgery last night, and this evening, the patient was out doing well thanks for following

Weekend update: The "Green Pheno" is mint, just what a man wants to see come from his seed. She's chowing every molecule of light that passes her. The "Purple Pheno" is just behind mint, she grows and smells like a beast, but just not accepting the man iGrowDagga's intense light, showing a bit eina eina smaller growing leaves at the tops, she'll get over it soon. Purple Pheno: Green Pheno:

Mid week update - 3 applications of bb done, will not be doing any other IPM measures. Will be doing a decent feed going into flowering, fish / epic / molasses / fulvic extract / microbes and aminos. This soil is depleted of nitrogen quite severely, not a terrible thing, but it will need to be managed as we go through flower.

I will though, enter with the below Let's hope this is my last SOTM entry and that I can rather assist the forum in the competitions.

Last update in veg Nothing much to update , girl got one feed with FF Microlife and then just water , with this weather it's 2 waterings a week , plants still smallish and lots of medium for them in the 15L pots .

So today is the first day of flower. Did some defoliation for the first time.

Getting anxious/ excited for the flip Did some defoliating today will do some more 2 weeks into of flower

Is your name spelt @Prom or @The_StonedTrooper?

Very very cool, but there is one issue... I do not see my name on either of those?

The plant is still effectively in veg mode for 10-14 days after the flip, and just like stretch above ground, the roots also go through an explosive growth phase as the plant prepares itself for peak flowering, so a repot on the same day as flip would be benificial

What's crackalacking fam! I have a few updates for you all. With just a handful of days to go before the flip, I have cleaned up the plants and taken Off most fan leaves. The remaining leaves will really take off and set the scene for flowering. Stakes and trellis will be added to support and guide the stems to success and bountiful harvests with fat unwavering dongs I enjoyed @iGrowDagga post with the ruler for reference and decided to include some of my own ruler for reference pics 5 more sleeps guys

Hi All I have recently started a cannabis consulting company and I just wanted to get feedback from the community if there is a need in the cannabis community for and extraction service company . I would be able to create and extract whatever people could want from Short path distillation , rosin , bho ect to creating vape juices and distillate carts for people with there own harvests for personal use . There a lot of people doing rosin atm but see very few offering short path distillation and proper BHO extraction. We could also go as far as edible manufacture for people with there own stock for personal use . just wanted to get some feedback from the community of what is needed atm. Cheers

It's the nature of the F2 line, it's genetics, and the foxtailing is dominant from the chocolope NL. The gelato cut is also not a big yielder but produces these smaller indica nugs. They fair well and express with uniform genetic foxtailing to build quite a bigger bud than winter would produce

@Totemic Haunted Kush Cake flower.

Awesome!!!

Crisis those mechanical yellow pens are a roll of the dice hey. 9/10 of them would get returned when I was still working at a hydro store. My go-to pen is the HM Digital. Two years in and still accurate, I use a spare to double check every now and then because even this pen is supposed to expire at some point but so far so good.

Clearly a SOTM winner here with his fresh pics

Day 5 Week 8 Update Just standing in their new home, got nothing.

June 26 - day 43 About 2 days after #2 got cut back: June 28 - day 45 About 4 days since the snip and #2 has bounced back pretty well... In fact #2 bounced back strong enough to get me thinking about what I could still do with #1 + #3 in the veg time left and considering the phase the plant still has to transition through before full blown flowering...hmm get the bong... A few bongs and a little while later with some garden wire + clothes pegs + tough love to the outer branches = At the same time as doing this training I cleared up some lower growth (as I'm typing this I can hear someone from the cheap seats at the back chirping my whole plants are lower growth... ja ja.. rustig rustig)...and I've tried to root some snips from #1 and #3 as clones - if I'm lucky I'll have another chance at growing these and push them further in veg. These comp plants aren't gonna yield a ton but gonna follow through with these 3 in the comp as originally intended. Note for the next growoff or for any noobs reading this - germinate on day 1, there isn't time to waste [emoji23] cloning is new to me but if I can just get 1 to root I will be stoked. Lots of great tips on cloning on the forum [emoji123] #1.1-1.6 and #3.1-3.6: June 29 - day 46 But wait I wasn't done with the garden wire... decided to bring the inner branches down to earth as well. June 30 - day 47 Some okes are growing a canopy... I'm growing a carpet [emoji1787] for realzies though, this probably isn't favourable for air circulation and proximity to soil perhaps increases risk of critters but they should stretch a bit once flipped. Let's see what happens. Looking forward to a FLIPPING lekker Friday.

All the girls got new homes. Found my two old fabrics and picked up a new one. Soils was damp so I removed a bit on the outer layer and potted into fresh soil. The roots were obviously not happy. Went from the 15cm to 3 gals. Quick photo before my battery died Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll just leave this here, as inspiration, not an entry. @Ill_Evanbrought up SOTM, so ya...

Hell to the yes man. But what is always the case, these types of services are comically always only located in the Cape. Even just cannabis profile testing, also in the Cape. Shit is scarce in Gautengeleng, so I find small pockets of friends that will do it for each other every now and then but of course consistency is the problem. So ja dude, can't say the service isn't desired. Real problem is location of services.

for very accurate calibration i believe you should use them both. calibrate to the higher PH, then test in the lower PH and recalibrate, and then back to the high ph and recalibrate until you find the spot where it is accurate on both fronts. lots of rinsing needed, and lots of time. for my needs, calibrating to one or the other suffices

Nice photos

Very nice colour and lots of budsites , this is going to be right up there [emoji2936] Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

You know I have made this soil many times and every time I make it the less accurate I get with measurements. I feel that it is more down to the microbes you add to the soil and how you cook the soil. But that is a whole different discussion. Thank you.

100% not disputing that there are much better pens out there LOL and 100% agreeing that i may be pretty lucky hahaha the only thing that pisses me of about it is me..because 1 out of ten times, im gonna forget to turn the thing off and then i have to go buy some more fucken batteries haha

Morning Guys and Gals.. So this gathering is postponed till further notice..

Hmmm, Google, always on the money...not If you can, you'll be the first in the world to do so, normally shaking will make more air bubbles. Get a quality pen, end of discussion and great advice from Naughty

I've Deside to choose my 1 plant to put into flower. The other two girls I will vege untill I am happy and then flip them. I want to get a bit more potential out of them. Competition is for one plant so no reason to waste the other two..

Opened up some bud sites, removed unwanted sites and cleaned them up a bit.. Will not fiddle with them again except for nr 3 that is receiving some stretching excersises..

These little ones are really loving life.. The Grapengorilla and Dream Queen Babies are shooting for the stars.. The two Double Sunsets are close on their heels and not far behind them the Slurri x Dream Queens..

Thank you all, seriously. I am only doing my best, with what I have, which isn't fancy at all, and I'm no professional by any means, So all your kind words and love, are felt in my heart and not my head, and are the world to me. Bless all you good people and family.

Cool thanks for the feedback . I would like to make it affordable for everyone , one of the biggest things I see consulting is the fact that a lot of people are growing and loving it but once they done growing they don't know how to get to the end product they desire and in my case it mostly meds the people want but they don't have the knowledge or equipment to take the next step . I was thinking R3 a g for processing basic extracts like rosin bho or spd

I think pricing would play a large role too, especially if it is the end consumer you are targeting. What sort of prices are we talking here?

another cool thing bout Blue labs, they switch off by themself. when they read and the value still changes it will stay on, but if it was at a constant value for longer than 1min or so it shuts itself off. I also got those drops, they work fine and will help you for sure when I got oily/sugary substance such as molasses in the water I don't like to use my blue labs pen, don't wana risk any film build up on the glass probe, even though I keep it extra clean with fresh tap water and fresh storage solution after every 3 uses I just don't wana risk any harm to the pen, make it last a lifetime

Thanks man, I'm going for the general hydroponics one from Futurama, around R120, good backup Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

i used to agree with you all... plant still grows roots in preflower... extra space is indeed beneficial going into flower... but then i checked my root balls after harvest, and the transplant i did a week before the flip, the coco was not even 20% as dense with roots as the rest of the pot which had more time to develop. so as much as saying the one you potted up out grew the rest that werent potted up...thats just logical... but if that same plant was in the larger pot from the beginning or had more time to veg and get its roots bigger and fill the new space better... you would have had an even greater harvest come harvest time not sure how you flipped an auto tho hehe, but i get your argument - more root space is always beneficial for flowering plants, but more root space for longer generally means more roots with my last harvest in the tote, i literally had a 70l root ball, there was no un explored coco, i had to break that shit up with a bread knife. bigger roots = bigger fruits

I judge the watering on experience. And I look at the soil. I water about 2.5l every 2nd day. That will increase during flower (2.5l daily) and then decrease at the end of flower. This is when I hand water. I will be installing the blumats either today or tomorrow.

yeah. I think you got the best one made yet brother hahahah batista, if you wana get another yelllw one I would say research and find atleast 10 or so guys who have used the yellow one and get their opinion. I am certain you'll find that a healthy percentage of the people who have them have thrown one away, it's simple, look at the price and tell me those will last forever and I will ask you why we all don't have a cheapy. answer will come back, because they cheap and don't last.

Sorry bud but I have a difference of opinion... Once gave an autoflower (the last auto I ever grew) a new pot the same day as I flipped and she grew ENORMOUS compared to the rest that stayed in small pot.

did you mean in the screen of the thing? so the enclosed motherboard area got water in? the potassium chloride the trooper is refering to is the probe liquid, it needs to be kept wet at all times. those yellow cheapies don't last long, heard only about 6 months if looked after it properly and calibrated each month. after the 6th month it wont calibrate correctly anymore. your situation seems like it might have been dropped in water or you submersed more than just the tip and water got into the body of the pen? my blue labs equipment is all submersable and waterproof, if you buying a new one I would like to recommend to look at the blue labs one. if you thinking bout sticking to growing any kinda plants I would suggest getting a pen that will last you forever and it stays accurate aslong as you calibrate it.

Morning my fellow growmies.. So what a relief that the girls responded well to my random fim, tops and LST of the other day.. Actually glad I did it.. They would recover just in time for the flip.. I am stoked with how the girls are doing.. If I did not have anny to compare it to I feel that they are winners

Hi folks. 26 days into flower and things are looking good. Did a bit of inspection and feeding today. All the ladies have started pushing tricome development except for the GSC. Not sure whether it's the strain that grows like this or whether it's a poor iteration by the breeder/seed bank... Nevertheless all the other ladies are happily showing their flowering prowess. I will update with some bud pics of all the strains in the week. Bubblegum Twisted Helix Clones Tent view
