- Semana 4 🌱 🌡️ Ambiente Hemos mantenido el clima bastante estable durante toda la semana: 🌞 Con luz: 24–26 °C 🌙 Sin luz: 23–24 °C 💧 Humedad: 55–65% estable Actualmente estamos en 25 °C y 60% HR bastante constantes. Aumentamos extracción e intracción al 50%, unos 250 m³ ambos. 💡 Iluminación Potencia al 60%. PPFD medido con Photone: ~500 PPFD centro ~400 PPFD laterales Distancia media foco-plantas: entre 35–45 cm (según altura de cada planta). Hemos ido rotando: Cada planta sobre sí misma cada 24 h. Cambio de posición cada 3 días (las más altas a los laterales, las más bajas al centro). La diferencia entre centro y esquina es de unos 100–150 PPFD aproximadamente. 💧 Riegos y nutrición Esta semana hicimos: 🔹 Riego fuerte de limpieza 2,5 L por maceta pH 6,2 EC 0,8 (solo agua base, sin fertilizante) Drenaje superior al 30% en alguna para eliminar exceso de sales y estrés de las raíces. Decidimos hacerlo así para estabilizar después de notar que una de las BC reaccionó mal tras un riego anterior con abono. Regamos cada 2–3 días las que más comen y cada 4 días las menos hambrientas y estresadas. En semanas anteriores utilizamos base de crecimiento junto con: Silic Pro CO₂ Pro Los últimos días optamos por no añadir comida en el último riego para resetear un poco el medio. ✂️ Podas y estructura Hemos hecho poda ligera y estratégica: 2–3 hojas por planta. Eliminación de hojas que bloqueaban nudos. Nada agresivo. Los nudos están muy juntos, entrenudos compactos y tallos gruesos. 📊 Estado por grupos Actualmente tenemos: 1 BC muy fuerte (~30 cm). 1 planta sobre 26 cm (podada). 4–5 plantas sobre 17 cm. 1 planta de 23 cm que estuvo tocada de raíces. 3 más jóvenes creciendo bien. 1 BC con un poco de estrés y acumulación de sales. El canopy está bastante homogéneo dentro de lo razonable por fenotipos distintos. ⚠️ La BC amarilla Esta es la planta que más atención ha requerido. Síntomas que presentó: Verde lima general. Amarilleo en hojas bajas. Algunas puntas quemadas. Decaimiento leve. Hojas inferiores que se volvieron crujientes. Crecimiento más lento que el resto. Lo curioso es que esta planta siempre fue más clara desde el inicio, incluso antes del trasplante. Después de un riego con fertilizante, empeoró ligeramente, por eso decidimos hacer el riego solo con agua EC 0,8 y buen drenaje. Actualmente: No está empeorando. Tiene más de 6 brotes activos. Las hojas nuevas salen verde claro y luego oscurecen. Solo amarillean las más bajas. Va más lenta, pero estructuralmente está viva y trabajando. 📈 Crecimiento Algo importante: En altura no han crecido casi en la última semana. Se han quedado prácticamente igual. Pero: Muchísimos nudos. Troncos gruesos. Ramificación fuerte. Estructura compacta. 🎯 Conclusión de la semana Semana de estabilización. Clima estable. Luz controlada. Riego ajustado. Poda ligera. Observación de la BC problemática. El cultivo está sano en general. Compacto, estructurado y con mucha ramificación. La BC lenta sigue bajo vigilancia. 🌿👀 Veremos el progreso la siguiente semana. Saludos compis y buenas vibras 🐭

Hey bro(s), Been busy, sorry for not updating often, but here we go... She's been complaining about the feed and got some leaf burn tips, just a little as a warning so the next watering will be only with pure amazonian well-water (from a well, like a wishing well) for a week maybe, and then will give her some KoolBloom, as a friend sent me some and advised me to try, and I will, so after that the end is near and we will be flushing with just pure water for a week with lots of runoff. I hope she will do fine. Any advice on the KB? Im thinking giving only the KB on a normal dose which is 1.25g for 4l (1gl)... just for one watering (4l).. or should I do like twice in a week and flush? Just KB and topmax Im thinking... or the KB alone. =) Oh, we have a video now. That's it, tchau... do Brazil!

Hey, it's all normal, I would say, today I removed all the leaves that were dried out or over 60 percent yellow. I'm really looking forward to the harvest, but I already know that the result in terms of quantity won't be my personal highscore, I should have left it in the vegi phase longer but the net is "warned" before the stretch, but I didn't think it was so severe, that was I think the biggest mistake in this grow😏 but well you never stop learning and the next time will be better 😊👌 oh so the trichomes are clear to milky I think 1 week then it is harvest but I want about 30 / 50 have ratio 😱😁

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 35 Shes disappointed me a little with her stretch power, hopefully shes waiting to use her secret weapon a little later into flower. Also cleaned her up down the bottom as those leaves were completely in the shade. Shoot of her top of pot roots looks decent.

Day 37 - Giving her another light feed with sufficient calmag to rectify the calcium deficiency. Day 39 - Received another feed with everything listed above at 600ppm. The lush green is coming back to the leaves and the wilting has been reduced with the small heater. I’m aiming to keep the tent above 67 or 10-12 deg lower than day time temps which were last averaging 77 and 55%RH.

A lot going on this week!! Feeding 3 quarts every Sunday and Wednesday at this point. I did a light defoliation on Monday and did a more thorough defoliation on Friday! I opened up a lot of bud sights and it shows in the pics from late in the week!! I just turned the fan and carbon filter on. Temps are currently holding at 73-74F and the humidity is between 43-45%. I'm very happy with that! I hope to keep them both happy!! Enjoy!

Week 9: Blueberry Auto's Packing on the Thiccness! Yo growmies! Just swung by the garden, and let me tell you, my jaw hit the floor faster than a dropped joint! The Blueberry Auto said "sayonara" to stretching and is now channeling all her energy into thicc bud formation! YES! Look at that main cola - it's practically bursting with juicy flowers! I also snagged a trippy video to show you this frosty lady in all her glory. And the smell, oh man, the smell! It's getting intense like a skunk who just discovered high-end perfume. Hahaha! We're getting closer to harvest. I can feel (and smell) it. How long will she keep on packin' the weight? Stay tuned, growmies. High fives all around!

Salut les Growmies, l'installation du filet à 80 cm fait des merveilles. Les plantes sont toutes ultra vigoureuses. Le stretch va être difficilement géré. Mais comme un enfant j’attends avec impatience le résultat de cette chasse. Demain soir je lance l'opération Clones et sauvegarde des phénotypes. 11/01/2026 Derniers jours de la deuxieme semaines depuis le switch en 12/12. Je viens de decouvrir que la Tiger Paws #1 a créé des couilles . Je lui laisse une journee de chabce et je vais voir commznt les choses évoluent sinon la Tiger Paws #2 et la Velvet Cream #1 sont juste magnifiques et tres vigoureuses Sincèrement

Week 6: Aroma, Buds, and Excitement! 🌿🌸💨 Hey there, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on my flourishing journey. We've officially reached week 6 of the flowering phase, and let me tell you, it's getting pretty amazing in my grow tent. Here's what's been happening: The aroma that fills the air when I open my tent is mind-blowing! It hits me right in the face with its funky skunkiness, and I can't help but smile. These ladies are developing some seriously potent terpenes, and I can't wait to savor the flavors when it's time to harvest. 🌿👃💨 Speaking of buds, they are looking absolutely stunning. The development is on point, and the density is increasing day by day. I find myself gazing at them with a sense of pride and excitement. These girls are going to be something special. 🌸🌿🌱💪 I'm thrilled to report that there are no signs of seed pods or hermaphroditism. The ladies are staying true to their femininity, focusing solely on producing those gorgeous, resinous flowers. It's a relief and a testament to the genetics and care they've received. 🚫⚡️ To ensure their continued growth, I've upped the watering to 5 liters every two days. These thirsty beauties need their hydration! Along with the increased watering, I've noticed some oranging on the tops and a touch of purpling on the leaves. It's a delightful display of colors that adds even more visual appeal to the grow tent. 🌿🍊💜 As for the nutrient solution, I've maintained a stable pH of 6.33, allowing for optimal nutrient uptake. The TDS level has remained between 1150 and 1250, providing the perfect balance of nutrients for the plants' needs. ⚖️📈 With everything going so well, I'm buzzing with excitement for what the next week of flowering will bring. The anticipation of harvest is growing stronger, and I can almost taste the rewards. Happy growing, everyone! Catch you next week with more updates. 🌿💚🌸😄
