Morning folks. So I am currently sitting on day 44 of flower and things are starting to take shape nicely. We have had a couple of very cold days and nights in the Gauteng space so I am not to sure whether that is reason for the awesome leaf colouration or whether it is the normal flowering fade.. or a bit of both? The GSC is still lagging with the trichome development but atleast she has got a damn nice smell so should hopefully smoke just as good. From the looks of things the Bubblegum might be the first lady to get the hehe chop as her bud development seems to be taking the lead. Already starting to see some pistils retracting into the calyx. I have to take the clones out to feed and take some nice pictures of the mothers and that allows me to take some flash shots which I really enjoy. Excuse the excessive amount of pictures but my ladies love the limelight Palomino GSC Twisted Helix Tortoni #1 Tortoni #2 Bubblegum Bubblegum clone Twisted Helix clone Palomino clone GSC clone Tent view

OK, sorry for the delay.. but RL got a bit hectic. Most sorted so I post the pics I managed to make. Day 3 of Week 10 They got 1 Liter of feeding 1/3/2/4 Day 4 of Week 10 Got nothing Day 5 of Week 10 Got 1 Liter of 1/3/3/5 (Fish-Mix/Bloom/Top Max/Bio Heaven) I didn't manage today to get the picture done.. so Day 6 of Week 10 will be missing.

So thought I might as well start a new grow diary. I have skipped the boring vegging stage, do any of you actually want to see that? I have also split the flower plants a bit - some went into flower around 27 June while others went into flower technically on Monday (12 July) - decided to give them 48 hours of darkness before switching to 12 / 12 as I had a bit of a fuckup with the plants which went into flower on 27 June. Moved over to a sonoff Pow R2 and setup a timer instead of schedule and only noticed after a day or two. So not sure if lights were going on and off every 7 minutes or if they were only off for 7 minutes every 24 hours or what was happening but it seems this slowed down the transition into flower Now a lot of these I have grown out previously, however there are some new additions. Also some new phenos of strains I have grown out previously, going to see which is the keeper pheno and narrow it down to make my life easier going forward. List of strains being grown: Bananium (multiple phenos) Platinum Punch (multiple phenos) Frosted Apricots Sugarcane Slurricane Slurrijug - I grew this out previously back in 2019 and it was good, this is a different pheno though... Blunicorn Twisted Helix (Thanks to @John Stonedwell for a cut of this, same pheno he is growing out) Black Cherry Pie Remo Chemo Will take some pictures and post them here when I get a chance. Got some other stuff coming up a well - but that will be for another grow diary.

I would just like to give a shout out to an artist that I think is currently creating the best cannabis strain art in south Africa. I have had the privilege to have 4 strains commissioned so far and plan to do a lot more . Here some examples of his work and you can find him on Facebook and IG under Rheecemoonjava.art Let's so some support for local amazing talent. NB please note these images where commissioned for varies cultivators and the imagines remain the property of the cultivators , I have permission so share them as long as it's not for commercial use

Quick lights off update. These pics were taken last night

Harvested all the purple plants this morning. Im so happy with the sheer amount of seeds. Definately starting a shitload of these outdoors at the end Sep. Doing a last cross before the outdoor season starts when I can gladly turn of the tent. 4 Cinderella Jack Dutch Passion Fem Autoflowers 4 Lemon larry OG Fem Auto Seedsman 4 Strawberry Cheesecake Fem Auto Seedsman All crossed with Strawberry Vostok regular Auto. Whatever male wins. Will have to keep them in tiny pots. Good times! 48 Days untill spring starts.

Looking terpy and tasty man!

although this one is more on the HST side just goes to show the resilience of a miracle plant!

Supercropping my bru

Group, and close ups, from 30min ago. Dont ask about the Critical, she is out of here...getting replaced for doing a kak job. Her replacement will be, none other than... The infamous and hard to get your hands on, or keep in prison... El Chapo

Special order done for a client 400mg each lindt chocolate and cashew with grape diamond terpenes added for flavor NB , all cannabis used is the client's cannabis and I only process it as a service and no THC is paid for or sold .

So this little decided fuck the cape winter, I am going to live. Might be some heavily seeded northern lights that I just chucked over the balcony. Let’s see how it goes with no intervention Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fuck yes... *drops the mic and pics up the popcorn* Get ready for a hell of a show ladies and gentlemen

It's LST bro

21 Watts of cool white seems pretty sufficient. The ones directly underneath the lamps are starting to dominate the rest.i put the 6 biggest into 25 litre pots of old soil. 3 of them are potentially males so I need to watch them like a hawk when I flip 'em.the two small ones at the front are double sunset and Tortoni fems. they look really strong, especially the double sunset. she's already caught up with the previous generation of clones. They are both going into 1.5 L pots tonight.hash plant x Bluberrythe left hand side got another dose of mycoroot when I transplanted from 2.5 into 5 litre pots. Im trying to root these ones without any dome, heat mat or direct light. The humidity is between 65-75 and they haven't wilted yet. 1 x hashplant, 2 x garlic and 9 x big buddha #3. Perking up and starting to look a bit more lively. A bit of fulvic acid and 50 Watts of light is making them very happy ladies. That magneto torch wasn't strong enough, but it did a job.everything has got a bit more room to grow now. they were getting lanky when they were all squeezed in together.

Grabs the popcorn from Well Stoned, and gives him the, so what face Picks up Mic, and... Tap, tap, Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3... Takes a seat, On with the show

Love the pink gown

LOL whose next? we still got mainlining and monster cropping on the cards?

@Twix Aphen thanx a lot brother man. I have to admit in terms of looks the bubblegum is also one of the sexiest plants I have ever grown/seen. The leaves look like they were photoshopped. On the down side though her smell is not that of undeniable bubblegum. Still a rather confusing terp pushing through but hopefully she is a plant that will showcase the true terpene expression as we near the end of the flowering stage. I am really really hoping for the bubblegum to shine through. Next round I will be running some white bubblegum by OSG bought from @Golden-Goose. From what I have read this should be a more accurate representation of the bubblegum that hit the shelves back in the 90's... Who knows? Only time will tell

They will grow out of it , give them a week or two Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone @DamDave @Naughty.Psychonaut @Ill_Evan @The_StonedTrooper @donnob @Weskush

Not much to report, day 11 of flower. Maintaining good moisture and we not leaving any plants behind. I've probably got the most stretchy pheno (must be the slurri shinning through) and also the most compact one (which I really want to nurture and make sure she still get adequate light - never know what she might look like). Onto the next couple.

2weeks now into flower. Its starting.

These have had a nice growth spurt since they were put under 50 W of LED. Touch wood I haven't seen any more spider mites, but I will keep on spraying before flowering. I haven't done any sprays since I let the persimilis loose. Rosetta Stone master kush garlic sorbet Spumoni I've cloned the garlic and put her into a 25 litre pot now. She has got some vigour and is going to need a cane for support soon.

On the road to recovery. 2 doses of fish mix and 2 doses of Margaret Roberts plant food. They are improving every day. Epsom salts, fulvic acid, malted barley are the other things I added too. When I remember, I must put on some more kelp, rock dust and worm castings for a final top up in the pot.

Put the rest of them on the light..

*looks at Mic on floor, sits quietly waiting for the show to begin* Fuck this is great. Skip the veg straight to the good stuff. Super excited. I'll be here for a while...

@Weskush that blueberry x bubblegum cross sounds delicious. One day I would also like to get as close as possible to the original blueberry. Heard great things about it. A bud of mine grew some chronic once. Was some of the best outdoor I have ever had.

I had 2 Blueberry x Bubblegum plants last season and they were the most impressive strain that i've grown outdoors to date, vigour, pest/disease resistance wise and yield wise and not to mention smoke wise. Wonderful terps and a strong high that lasts. Chronic was also right up there growth and yield wise. Not so much smoke wise.Highly recommended

And the little one showed face.. I'm sure the rest is on it's heals.. I'm relieved as I let them freeze..

Hey bro. I have high hopes for your lady! Pun intended. I gave a couple of clones to a friend for his outdoor run previous season and he planted it in a bed that the cats used to poop in. The cat squatted right on the little seedling and did a cracking supercrop job. He left the plant be and she recovered exceptionally well. Here are some pics...

They are looking superb. I really like the look of this bubblegum. I bet she smells wonderful

That new growth is happy

Transplant shock, soil settling now after watering properly.

Welcome.. Yeah dude Autos are a completely different ball game.. I hate them actually.. Would love to get my hands on some Flash Seeds ginetics.. Apparently you can do what you want with them and nothing will impact negatively on them. 30 days longer to finish though but I like the Idea of not worrying about stressing them to much..

Nice one!

Good work man, great picture

It was aesthetically pleasing to the eye Congrats @Orcanic

Mycoroot test. with mycorootno mycoroot one on the left is with mycoroot No difference between the two, in terms of health, size and vigour. I am starting a new test with plant matters v mycoroot v control to see if I can see any difference in seed germination.

Now that is pretty [emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

HIGH EVERY ONE Day 55 12/12 DAY 7

The clawing is going now but some tips are still affected. I don't think they liked my defoil very much and my attempt to dry out the soil was a disaster move on my part. The leaves have stayed small after the plucking and some thrips are also joining the party. The two biggest are the hungrier plants so I upped the dose of granules, doubled up to 2 table spoons, gave a spray of Epsom salts and put in 3 mls fishmix with the last two waterings. I was given some 12 V strip lights and a pair of 80 watt t-5s. I can add some light for clones with the strips and boost the veg with another 160 Watts. Or even use them on the periphery of my flowering area. I'm prepping the room for flowering and think I might go up to 160 litre totes for th first 2 plants. My only concern is bearing the weight of soil onto the floor boards.

Package received. Thanks Groen seeds and everyone organizing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After a week without feed they have begun to go light green. They've had a little flush and are looking hungry now.The chlorine v no chlorine testPotted up to 3 litre bags and put on some barley. I was given a few mites to sprinkle onto the plants, apparently they'll chow the spider mites. the next round of Hash Plant x Blueberrythis weeklast week

This week's updates. Still vegging the two biggest, and the Buddha Cheese are still growing.I didn't water since the rains. Humidity has been up high, so the plants have been hungrier this week. I will give more 5 3 5 to the smallest ones, just a teaspoon for the 3 litre potsHigh humidity has been good for the root growth. The pheno hunt is still on. Seedlings are still alive Germination test on the new mixture.Happy growing everybody.

@Naughty.Psychonaut https://www.cropnutrition.com/nutrient-knowledge/chlorine I think my water has 8 ppm, I don't let it stand overnight or adjust the pH.

Water straight from the tap does no harm to soil biology. A bit of chlorine is a good thing.

@GGG a bit of Sunday MacGyver when you can't find any clear cups.

Today the seedlings all got topped. I spouted 6 out of 6. I put the between a damp tissue and put the them by the heater. Within 48 hours they all cracked and today I put them into pots of the seedling mix. Choc Gelato, Palomino, Double Sunset and Tortoni.
