Diary Complete Palomino and friends


John Stonedwell

Recommended Posts

Good day folks.

So the flowering cycle is now in full swing and I can see several bud sites popping up all over the place. Currently sitting on day 20.

I really do like the flowering stage so much as you can see a lot of progression within the space of a week. All the ladies have shown quite a good stretch and I am sure there is still more stretch left in them.

Between the 2 Tortoni's the one I popped last is actually stretching and growing bigger than the 1st Tortoni seed that was popped. So Tortoni #2 is actually catching up to the tallest lady in the tent, the Twisted Helix...

The one thing that REALLY excites me at the moment is the Twisted Helix.. I am already starting to see sprinkles of tricome on the bud sites. I haven't had a strain before that expressed such early tricome development so this is getting me real giddy. All the other ladies are also looking stellar and will soon start introducing TopMax to the feeding regiment.

Nice selection of varieties going in here. Does the resinous one have much of a smell yet?

Hey bud.

It's quite funny that you ask as I actually went on a little smelling investigation earlier today but no distinctive terpenes pushing through just yet but I have a feeling that it will be a diversely stinky bunch at the end of the day 😂

On a happy note the Tortoni #2 and Bubblegum has also started showing some nice snow covered tops :-trip

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.

Hi folks.

So it is time for an update. Currently sitting on day 30 of flower and the smells are starting to get interesting and the buds are taking nice shape with some sprinkling of trichome across the board (except for the GSC... patience is a virtue here.)

The leaders in terms of the terpene profiles would be the Twisted Helix and the Palomino. The most pronounced of the two would be the Palomino with an exceptionally nice papaya/mango smell lingering. The Twisted Helix on the other hand is pushing some apricot vibes (possibly due to the lineage including Irene Apricot)

For the pics I took a top shot of the mothers and then a bud shot of the clone except for the Tortoni #1 and #2 as I don't have clones in the tent for them.

Something I have picked up is that the trichome development on the clones are progressing quicker than the mother plants.. Might be due to the size of the plants but I am not sure??

My buddy also did me quite a solid and sent me a split screen pic of my previous run compared against this one and I am very impressed with the difference,  especially on the leaf colour and canopy..

Morning folks.

So I am currently sitting on day 36 of flower, just over the 5 week mark.

Plants are looking real happy and I am starting to see some nice leaf colours pushing through and mains starting to elongate. With today's feed I gave the last BioGrow for this flowering cycle as the N balance in the bloom will be sufficient to carry the ladies through. Mistake with the previous grow was to pull the grow too early. 

The tent is starting to smell like all kinds of awesomeness but man that Palomino is knocking the socks of the rest of the ladies. I am perplexed as to the levels of candy fruitiness that lady is expressing.. ots really out of this world!! Very happy that I have 2 seeds left of that strain. @Totemic is the terpene expression on point from your experience? 

I was also able to take some flash bud shots of some of the clones showing nice trichome development. 

Excuse the droopy leaves, the ladies were thirsty prior to their photo shoot.

There will be a few phenos that range between Chocolate Gelato and Blunicorn dominance. Sounds like it smells like a Gelato dominant pheno with a high myrcene content. My favorite terpene, and the one I'll always select for. 

Well shit that makes me a happy camper!! Thank you for the reply man! I love your gear!! :-respect

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 😆

@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

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✌️

      'Olla Bromigos!
      Getting started a little later this year than last, rain around this time in my neck of the woods played havoc with seedlings last year. 
      For this Season I am firmly in the Local is Lekker corner, and will be running a bunch of @Totemicand some @Bay Seeds sourced a while ago from the Legends at @Cannabist. Thank you all for the great deal and freebies! Very grateful and super keen 🙃

      So here we go! Up first 2 each of:
      Totemic - Green Gelato. Reg
      Totemic -Strawberry Deluxe. Fem
      Totemic - Strawberry Sugar Cookies. Fem
      Bay Seeds - AK Royal x Lemon Jedi X Choc Gelato. Reg
      Totemic - Gelato x Cherry CBD. Reg
       

      All seeds soaking since 4PMish, dechlorinated water with a spritz of Biodyne and BioBizz Root juice.
      Some king sized seeds, some so big they got stuck in the container and needed prying out.

      Very keen to get started! Some will go straight into pots from here, others via ziploc and paper towel route. Don't have enough side plates to separate 5 diff strains in paper towels etc. Will give the Fems the special treatment and let the Regs go au natural.

      So I was browsing the Internet last season, more or less end of season, and in the process startes browsing local seedbanks to see whats out there. So I noticed a "free seeds" section and of course I checked it out and saw Chocolate Gelato on test a testers needed base, i guess and did a fake checkout to see what I needed to buy to get this deal. I did not complete the checkout cause I just figured lets leave it cause I don't have cash now anyhow. 
      Couple days later I received an envelope with feminized seeds, some rolling papers ans a sticker. All they asked was to do a test grow here. So here we go.... 
      @Cannabist, @Totemic
      I received 5 x seeds and planted 3 for this season. 2 popped and is alive. The 3rd one did not make it sue to human error. 

      I'm not sure what the Sativa/Indica ratio is and the genetics either and I am hoping for Totemic for that answer and maybe a few tips.. 
      They have been watered and fed with Humigro yesterday morning and they are responding well to it. Soon they should go to their bigger pots homes in the garden..

      So here we go.. not sure if I'm early to the party but what the hel..

      Will have some space in the tent soon and by the time these girls get flipped they should have the tent to themselves...
      Grow nitty gritties:
      1x1 Mammoth Pro 100 Tent
      600w HID
      Extractor fan and two fans for air flow..
      The plan:
      Will be starting the seeds in a tin with paper towel on top of the decoder. From there straight into Freedom Farms Seed Starter. I Have not used it before and is quite excited to try it out..


      After the girls have been Veged to reach the required size, they'll be potted up into 5L pots.  Here is where I wil be testing a different soil mix for each.. 
      #1 Will be grown in Freedom Farm Premium Classic & Diotomatious Earth..
      #2 Will be grown in FF PC, DE and Super Frass 
      3# Will be grown in FF PC & DE Mixed with worm castings, Organic Mulch potting soil and extra Perlite..
      None of the plants will get anything else. Normal declorinated tap water only. This grow off will determine my soil mix for further grows. It also serves as a bit of a test on the Super Frass and FF Seed Starter..



      With these mixes I am sure to have 3 way different results.. 
      To all the contestants, good luck stay safe and above all enjoy.. This is going to be epic..

    • By Stinger96
      Wel with the new home for the Tortoni girls I desided to take up some more space with a few of Totemic's ginetics and some seed gifted to me by @SkunkPharm.. Germinated some Grape Gorilla x2, Chockolate Gelato x3, Double Sunsetx3, Dream Queen Reg x10 and DQ x Slurri reg.. x6
      The girls showed face yesterday in some Jiffies and was potted up into the FF Seed Starter.. They should also help me guage the DIY Light's intensity with regards to stretch..



      The second DQ in the pot sprouted but needed assistance with his helmit..😂

      Hey guys! 
      I am really looking forward to this grow. Objective is for personal breeding purposes. 
      This will be my first time experimenting with breeding cannabis, any help is appreciated 🙂
       
      Currently growing Laughing Buddha (Barney's Farm) and Charlotte's Angel (Dutch Passion). Plan is to cross Novakane with these strains, as well as breeding Novakane F2 seeds. 
      Novakane F1 seeds were sourced from @Totemic. On a side note, just a thank you from my part. The beans I ordered arrived swiftly, with a lot of freebies! The quality of these seeds are unmatched. 

      Started germinating today, soaked 5 regular seeds for 30min in Explogrow. Afterwards transferring them to a 1:100 solution of Explogrow and pH 6 water for 12 hours. 
      Am a fan of the paper-towel method, and have had great success placing said paper-towel inside a plastic bag on top of my router. Will do this next...

      Grow setup:
      240W LM301b + Epistar 660nm Kingbrite Quantum Board
      Freedom Farms Premium Soil
      T.A. Pro Organic Nutrients
      1.2 x 0.7m Grow Tent
