It's been fun to see the 2 different pheno's develop of this strain, but now the Indica dominant one isn't going up anymore. I hope in the stretch phase she catches up with the rest. Switched to 12/12 on the 10th of november

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

Shes been chopped. Took some early samples and it is some sweet dank bud. Will update harvest soon

Getting really close now. Should be down within the week. This has been a super good grow. ILGM always comes thru with good stuff!!

Another awesome week as these buds are getting dense and Frosty

Lemon Cherry Cookies Week 11 June 8-14 FLOWER 6 Sadly, my journey with Lemon Cherry Cookies is almost over. This week I am flushing with an anticipated harvest this weekend. I did the last plant pictures and videos and trichome shots. I did preliminary defoliation removing the remaining fan leaves. This plant was tall and lanky and had large fast stretches giving her 7inch node spacing. Her buds are chunky and tight without a lot of hairs. She developed pretty reds and dark purples in the leaves and buds because of the air conditioner. The A/C brought the night temperatures to 65-68f. 6/9 PH 6.46 PPM 239, temp 68 2 ltr each 6/10 PH 6.6, PPM 230, temp 68 2ltr each 6/12 PH 6.4, PPM 242, temp 68.5 2ltr Thank you for sharing this journey with me and as aways, thanks for visiting, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿my friends. 💫Natrona💫

taller, thicker and about 5 nodes up

3/23 12AM Monday. BKO I made from crossing Gelato 44 and Bubbles Blueberry F4 is way better than I thought LOTS of color. All are doing good, even with soft water..as long as I flush out way more than im used to. That’s an awesome success story, congratulations on pulling off that pollen chuck and getting viable seeds from your targeted branch! As a non-professional breeder working in a home setup (with the challenges of being homebound and managing everything solo), nailing a deliberate cross like this is seriously impressive. You basically created your own hybrid: **Blueberry Bubbles F4** (from Brothers Grimm Seeds, a refined take on DJ Short’s classic Blueberry lineage—sweet, creamy blueberry terps with vanilla, subtle lavender/chamomile, and those nostalgic fruity/skunky notes) pollen hitting a **Gelato 44** (the Tyson 2.0 collab with Royal Queen Seeds, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC—potent, indica-dominant with citrus-cookie-earth-mint flavors, high THC around 22%, and dense, resinous buds). The result you got—those **bright red calyxes** (the small, teardrop-shaped protective structures that hold the pistils and get super frosty with trichomes)—is a beautiful, eye-catching phenotype expression. It’s not something you see every day, and it turned out “really nice” as you said. ### Why the Bright Red Calyxes? In cannabis, calyx color can shift dramatically due to genetics, environment, or stress (which you mentioned applying some to the donor plant—classic for triggering unique traits in breeding). Common causes for vivid red/purple/reddish hues in calyxes include: - **Anthocyanin expression** — These are natural pigments (same ones that make fall leaves red) that show up more under cooler temps (especially nights in late flower), pH swings, or genetic predisposition. Some strains (like certain Blueberry lines or Gelato crosses) carry genes for purple/red coloration, and stress can “unlock” it in the calyxes specifically. - **Stress response** — The stress you put on the Blueberry Bubbles donor (to induce pollen) likely influenced the offspring, amplifying colorful traits. Red calyxes often signal a plant pushing hard on resin production (trichomes galore for protection), which is a win for potency and bag appeal. - **Hybrid vigor or recombination** — Crossing a fruity, potentially purple-leaning Blueberry line with Gelato 44 (which can show some color in its family) created a new combo where the red popped on those calyxes. It’s not a “standard” look for either parent strain (Blueberry Bubbles tends toward blue/purple hues in buds, Gelato more green with frost), so you hit a rare, standout pheno. Bright red calyxes like in your pic (frosty green leaves surrounding those vivid red pods with amber hairs and tons of trichomes) often mean: - High resin/trichome density (great for potency and extracts). - Aesthetic appeal—looks killer in photos or jars. - Potentially enhanced terps/flavors from the stress/genetic shuffle (maybe more berry/cookie depth). Since you only got seeds on that one branch (pollen rub worked selectively—smart move to contain it), that’s textbook DIY breeding: low risk, targeted results. Naming it something like “Blueberry Knockout” fits perfectly—a knockout cross with knockout looks. Even if replicating it exactly is tough (breeding is part science, part luck with phenotypes), you’ve got keeper genetics now. If you grow more out, watch for stability in those red calyxes, yield, terps, and effects—it could be a gem for your personal stash or even sharing seeds with like-minded growers. The photo is stunning—those fuzzy, frost-covered calyxes with the red popping through the green are chef’s kiss. What does the smell/aroma on this one lean toward? Blueberry dominant, or more Gelato cookie/mint coming through? And how’s the high/effects shaping up? Proud of you for making this happen in your setup—it’s a real testament to your resourcefulness. 🌿🔴 Keep crushing it! If you snap more pics of the full buds or plant, I’d love to see how it fills out.👨‍🔬 3/24 4:07 AM Montel dream widow is doing great so are the two Mike Tyson‘s and the bubbles I have a Cork Screw auto in there I kind of made a mistake. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t flowering and I moved it from one tent to the other, so that one has been flowered and bagged and back to flower. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but they’re all looking great. Wish I could figure out what I’m doing right now but having these two lights instead of one at lower wattage and getting a lot of runoff, I take them into the bathtub to water them now just to make sure that the EC is where I want it to be when I’m done. It’s a heck of a lot more work this way and I didn’t mean to have this many going so it’s still working out really good though. So I have all the trailer Park boys, Montel, iced tea, two Mike Tyson’s and the one that I made the blueberry knockout that one’s really nice. I can put this on that tumor on my neck since I can never seem to die. 3/25 1:30PM MONTEL!!!! DREAM WIDOW IS THE STAND-OUT FOR LOOKS AT THE MOMENT..... Montel's Dream Widow is looking absolutely killer in these photos. The undulating, "tarantula-like" leaf pattern emerging from the buds is one of the coolest and most distinctive traits I've seen on a cannabis plant in a while. Those long, serrated fan leaves are curling and radiating outward from the cola in a wavy, almost spidery or "hairy" fashion, giving the whole bud a wild, textured, almost alien look. The heavy frost (those dense white trichomes coating everything) combined with the way the leaves are twisting and overlapping makes it look like the flower is exploding with movement. It's hypnotic and unique—definitely not your standard dense, compact cola. Why this happens This phenotype is likely a combination of: Genetics from the Montel's Dream Widow strain (a cross involving Widow family genetics—often White Widow or Widow relatives—with strong sativa-leaning or hybrid vigor that can produce more "leafy" or "foxtail" bud structures). Some Widow lines are known for expressive, airy, or "spidery" bud formations where leaves protrude dramatically from the calyxes. Your grow environment and minimal intervention (1-gallon pot, no LST, no topping) letting the plant express its natural structure. Many indica-dominant or hybrid strains tighten up with training, but when left to grow freely, they can throw these dramatic, undulating leaf patterns—especially if there's a bit of stress or environmental fluctuation that encourages the plant to "reach" with its leaves for light/air. The heavy trichome coverage suggests excellent resin production, which often pairs with these more open, leafy expressions (the plant is protecting the developing seeds/flowers with extra "armor"). Even in that small 1-gallon pot, she's putting out impressive colas with great structure, density in the center, and that signature "tarantula" flair on the edges. That's a testament to solid genetics and your hands-off approach paying off—some strains really shine when you just let them do their thing. 3/27 1:52pm. Ricky and Julian are GREAT!!!👍 The physical side is a real win Turning the grow work into functional exercise — bending, squatting, lifting gallon jugs of water (around 8 lbs each), working in the tub — is genuinely smart. It’s low-impact but builds practical strength, balance, core stability, and mobility, which is especially valuable if you have back issues. Many people with chronic pain or limited routines find that consistent, purposeful movement like this (without it feeling like “gym time”) helps keep things stretched and functional far better than doing nothing. The fact that it gives you a reason to move regularly, beyond just the plants themselves, adds real value. As long as you’re listening to your body (stopping when it feels off, not overdoing heavy lifts in one session), this kind of activity is sustainable and beneficial. You’re right — without the grow, that structured physical outlet might not exist, and the combination of tending the plants + staying active creates a positive feedback loop for both your garden and your well-being.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

Grow going well. Girls getting frosty.

We didn't do much, we moved it around to follow the sun during the day, from one window to another. We feared it might be stretching (later we discovered it is not) so we used a pipe cleaner to support it.

Only one plant is not got fire ant in it making the plant stress welp there go my year I learn every year about hit the chop it what waste of good Genetics

This was my favorite plant out the gate and through veg but flower I dunno wuts up with her always having calcium and manganese issues through flower she doing the 3 leaf thing might be when I switched her to this big tent with a bigger light I dunno she's the only one out of the 3 that is growing wonky out of this test

Week 3 for the Garlic Cookies 🍪 from original sensible seeds Looks good at the moment! We gave some more nutrients this week and add also bloom booster this week! Lets see these buds getting bigger now!

Been MIA for awhile but here’s the update on these girls. Two chem brulee, one northern lights, and one 5150 made it into the flower tent. I gave the spice cut and Runtz to a buddy. The chem brulee is on the left and northern lights is the front right of the picture. Duuude this chem is a crazy grower. I took some cuts and got 3 clones ready to go for the next run. The stem on one of them is a quarter thick. 3 gallon pots, used a lot more silica this run and it’s showing. Think I ran out of nitrogen last harvest so adding bay guano to the tea this flower. Wish me luck 🤙🏻

Started everything off by picking up 3 clones from a buddy and made a clone of each. I ordered a 3x3x6 spider farmer tent and a SF 2000 LED. In the meantime the ladies will hangout by the window. After cloning I started some LST to make an even canopy. Each original clone takes about 1 liter tap everyday or two with 25% run off and the babies have been getting ten spray bottle pumps of water at their base and about 4 pumps on top everyday. Ph usually stays @ 6.5. Fox farm nutrients came in on the 5th day after bringing the girls home and the grow tent comes tomorrow. I also ordered a Spiderfarmer SF 1000 which I haven’t decided if I’m going to squeeze in the tent or just make a separate set up. Pretty sure I’m doing another set up. Currently the set up I have has a 3 inch fan pulling air out the top and 12 inch fan faced directly at the girls. It’s 2.5’x2x4 I mixed up 4 Liters of tap with a half dose of Foxfarm Big Bloom and Grow Big nutrients. Each big girl got 1.25 liters and the babies shared the rest. Ph was @ 6.2 Umm… this is also my first grow after years of watching others grow I’ve finally found myself in a good spot to give it a try.

Sindsygt godt ramt af mig ❤️ det er lige begyndt at have plus ➕ grader om natten og så er vi igang næste uge burde den være dobbelt så stor som den er nu. 😉

4/30 Week 2 Some discoloration, moved light up. Most likely be ready to transplant in a couple of days, color good Slowly increasing nuets Leave them here a while. 5/1 Pic 5/3 TRANSPLANT DAY! Time to move her, her roots are three inches beyond the garden bag and her veg growth has kicked in. Roots are very white, very strong and very long. Transplanted into 5 gallons of prepared/buffered/triple washed coco and 40% perlite. Pot soaked well with goodies to get things going quickly, she has some catching up to do 😏 5/4 Pics She is thriving! 😎 5/5 Pics Almost doubling in mass every day 5/6 Pics Added Silicon and increased Grow nuets slightly She has tripled in size this week color is good and stems are strong.
