Crazy Week. Despite Buffering COCO-Perl. Medium with Ph adjusted Calmag as well as always feeding ph adjusted nutrients. The Run off Came about 7.6 and the Ppm was at 1050. I wonder what might have caused the Coco to get alkaline. SO I FLUSHED all the 4 Plants several times until got the Run off to sit at 6.2 using only Ph adjusted water(5.5 - 5.6). Afterward ran one more final Run OFF with Nutrients Solution at 5.5.. Now letting them go dry completely. Not at all sure what cause the Ph Hike. But sure enough that has added up to the already stunted growth. Already purchased more PhotoPeriods. By the Time they arrive these auto's should be at least about to be harvested out of the tent. I'm ducked. 1# OG PLANT is mid 5th nodesDevelopment. 2# another OG plant is on early 5th Nodes development. Gelato Auto is on early 5th Nodes development. Gorilla Cookies is on mid 4th Node development. I thought of doing some plant training but no way on this run. I'd be surprised if even get a quarter of an ounce off one plant. Call me God of Faith but I have no other option but to keeping them and letting them do their thing and try to just learn it through everything and anything that come on the way on this stunted run.

Agua base 256ppm. 20ml de bloom y 10ml de candy en 10 litros de agua. 800ppm final al riego. Las plantas resultantes de la cruza resultaron ser todas fotoperiodicas y muy similares las 9 plantas. Tuvieron 70 días de vegetativo con poco cuidado pero llevan 30 días con cuidado extremo sin controlar clima ya que su luz es el sol de invierno argentino

Looking good!! She grew a lot since the last week!! It looks like the topping has been healed correctly. The next days I transplanted the plant into a 12L pot to let her grow well and then I also topped the two branches. I guess it is too much stress but we will see how it goes!!

Je me lance dans l'expérience du topping sur ma nouvelle plantation de cannabis. Bien que cela ne soit généralement pas recommandé pour les variétés automatiques, j'ai remarqué que de nombreux blogueurs le pratiquent. Après avoir obtenu de mauvais résultats avec la technique de LST (Low Stress Training), je me suis dit que je ne risquais pas grand-chose. Pour l'instant, je ne remarque pas de ralentissement significatif par rapport au LST. Cependant, lors de mon premier arrosage avec des nutriments, j'ai mis un 8e de la dose recommandée, ce qui a entraîné l'apparition de griffes sur les feuilles... Vraiment déconcertant, je cherche encore à comprendre cette réaction... Topping au 16 ème jour, 5eme noeuds. Engraissage : 1/8 de la dose et apparition de légères griffes sur les feuilles Merci de m'avoir lu 🌱

7/14: Watered her today. Just plain water. Filled up half gallon jug of water. Filled reservoir back first line. 7/16: Bumped light intensity to 45%. Topped off reservoir at night. 7/18: Watered her today with the the leftovers of some treated water with Rapid Start from her half gallon jug. Prepping for new nutrient schedule next week. I am happy to say it seems like the WCC is responding well to the environment and feeding schedule. So Far So Good!!! 😁 Thinking of possibly starting LST next week. Please Comment if anybody sees anything wrong in the pics!?!?!? 👍 Also any tips on how-to/when to start LST would be greatly appreciated! ***** For this Grow****** “Day Air Temperature” will be the max temp of tent for the week. “Substrate Temperature” will be the average temp of tent for the week. “Night Air Temperature” will be the lowest temp of the tent for the week.

D49 - Today is the first day in the seventh week of veg for #2 and the sixth for #1. It has been a week since I topped the first girl, so I went ahead and topped her for the third and final time. #2 is thriving, and I'm using LST to spread her out while keeping her flat. With the toppings now done, I can install the scrog net soon-ish. As for the thrips, I haven't noticed any additional damage, and hopefully, the mites are doing their thing. I realized, though, that I had one extra package of mites. Instead of waiting for slow release, I went full Rambo by cutting up the package and sprinkling the mites/sawdust all over the girls and soil. I also redirected the airflow to not blow directly on the plants. I'll leave the sawdust there until tomorrow and then brush it off. The slow-release bags are still on the plants, so there isn't much to lose with additional shock-and-awe tactics. DIE THRIPS!!! Finally, I started a compost tea heavy with neem meal, which should help create an inhospitable environment for the thrips. Worst case, I have neem oil, but I don't want to go down that route unless I have to. D53 - I did some additional LST to both girls and removed a few leaves and branches on the underside of #2. I also cut back the cover crop and gave each girl 2.5-liters of water @ pH 6.3. D55 - I gave both girls around 2.5-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5. The first girl has bounced back strong after her final topping, and in a few days, it will be time to flip, but I need to do one last defoliation before that. Sorry about the porn-light pics. I was a bit late, and my lights had already gone into sunset mode.

2 Black Cherry Gelato 🍒 Clones from my clone guy- 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, Jacks RO + dry koolblom and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension. Garage grow SoCal. Another hot week in the garage averaging 88°. The girls are starting to develop and gain weight. Trichomes are coming along. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. We switched nutes and reservoir funk is gone. This weeks accomplishments: Switch from GH to Jacks RO Install separate reservoirs for black cherry gelato and purple push pops Clean all autopots and reservoir lines. Install separate lines for black cherry gelato This weeks issues: Spider mites. Found them in the outside grow and found a few leaves with them inside. Big time nightmare. Primarily on the gelatos inside. Doing manual scouting and removal every day. Long term issues It’s hot. High 80s low 90s all week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing the spread of mites and mold issues during high humidity conditions Managing girlfriend expectations through harvest. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my purple push pop grow side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. Check out my outdoor light deprivation grow side by side with my indoor grow. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows. 👍

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.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

Day 43-49 A lot of them are showing signs of going into bloom. Doing their stretch before bloom, so they need more nitrogen before they're done stretching.

The girls look healthy, happy, and smell delicious, kinda sweet citrusy. I'm overall satisfied so far. They have some crystals forming on them as well. I feel like it's gonna be a successful grow. But don't think I'm gonna use Green-O-Matic again, it's not as short as I wanted it to be, and it has unstable phenotype. I hope the effects are nice and relaxing though.

Like I touched on previously, I am only going to be using ILGM for One or two strains in the future. I’ve had a run of Hermies and or bananas from so many of their seeds lately it’s just not acceptable at this point. I really truly believe they have some solid genetics in some cases, but maybe they’re rushing on some of the newer strains they’re putting out. I don’t know but I’m moving towards using different banks at this point. Aside from the issue during the grow I also noticed the last round of seeds I got from them maybe 30-40% were visibly immature. No striping, which I know is normal and some strains but the real obvious sign was they were not dark enough like they were super light green almost approaching a white color. I’ll use them for pure indica which is a power house, gold leaf and maybe blue dream. Then again I’ve got a tent full of those clones anyhow 😉
