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.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

Buds showing great and started on day 10-11 of 12/12. I’m happy with the progress so far but I could dial the feed back a little bit and I’ll be adding in more light for a better footprint during week 4 of flower

What good everyone, these ladies are progressing beautifully. Thinking another week or two on these and they'll be pretty much ready to harvest. All in all Happy Growing.

Apple Fritter is doing well. I did some root pruning early in week. I slightly increased nutrition. Will be a few weeks till I change the lighting. She is growing in a New Level Hydro bucket, under the Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 60 percent.

Week 4 that i had missed and didn't upload so here it is <3

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

This week I'm showing you the harvest of the first of two London Pound Cakes, which was left to grow as Mother Nature intended, preserving the main cola and allowing you to see it in its natural state compared to the main cola you'll find next week. The plant is truly beautiful, with a beautiful main cola and numerous peripheral flowers with excellent, super-tasty resin. Pot and Soil - This plant was grown in an 11-liter pot with Plagron's BioLight Mix organic soil, which gave us a solid start, and then we proceeded to fertilize. Lighting/PPFD - A Zamnesia Phytonaut 480W LED lamp was used from mid-flowering until fruiting. We achieved a PPFD (photosynthetically active photon flux density) between 800 and 1200 μmol/m²/s, with a cycle of 24 hours, then 23 hours, then 20 hours, and finally 18 hours. All with CO2 to mitigate the effects of heat and excessive light. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/14526-led-grow-lamp-phytonaut-480.html (National link, use Google if it doesn't work) Growing system: Zamnesia Ecosystem, fan, extractor, and grow box, all manufactured and branded by Zamnesia. Trichhomes: We still have a good amount of amber trichomes, starting at 30%. There are several 40-45% opaque and transparent trichomes. In this case, we've gone much further than usual in terms of maturity because the plant is indica-dominant, and we need and want to bring out its characteristics, even at the risk of some oxidation (the amber color is caused by oxidation. Don't fall into the common mistake of thinking that all or a majority of amber is needed; the harvest window opens at 15%, and you don't need a lot of amber, especially if the plants are sativa). Nutrients: Grown with Plagron Official, a 100% organic base fertilizer, and all recommended additives. Visit www.plagron.com for grow cycle calculations, product selection, and general information. All nutrients are available on the Zamnesia website. Also check out the live substrate and the fantastic new Zammi product line.

Derived from a potent cross between Sunset Sherbet and Larry OG, this strain combines intense dessert flavors, high-level potency, and lush growth, making it a true delight for growers and connoisseurs alike. In the grow room, London Pound Cake displays vigorous growth and a textbook indica structure, with sturdy branches and dense, trichome-covered buds. With just 9–10 weeks of flowering, London Pound Cake offers impressive yields, up to 600 g/m² indoors and a whopping 900 g/plant outdoors by October. The aroma is decidedly indulgent: sweet, creamy, and citrusy, with hints of vanilla and spice filling the air like a working oven. With 22% THC, London Pound Cake's effects are deep, relaxing, and euphoric, melting the body and mind and promoting a happy, fulfilled state of mind. Perfect for evenings, creative relaxation, or as a special treat after a long day, London Pound Cake combines flavor and potency in impeccable balance.

last week was very good, the plants grow a lot and all the colas are blooming as much as the main, this week ill apply neem oil again to prevent plagues, and experiment with the SCroG that last week didnt do.

Everything is going smoothly.

Start of day 14 ... Oct 23 Check out the full grow video on latest weekly update Exceptional Growth thus far and each day ..... Decided to ponytail them today DAY 14 and 15 for 18hrs and will remove just before lights out.... Day 16 - 18 Leaf Tucking Day 19 begun LST , hopfully they don't run away on me.... Watering only when needed and adjusting lights when needed .... Rain Water Only !!!!! Can see the differences in Pheno types .... Loving it .....

Got a fantastic gift from the fellow growmie - Haoss. You can check his diaries at this link: https://growdiaries.com/grower/haoss Believe me, you won't be disappointed <3 So this is the new strain by Sweet Seeds - Gorilla Sherbet. This will be the first gorilla on my list. As always will be growing it in 20 l hydroponics. I hope everything goes well. Oh, and of course, a new light in da box - Mars Hydro TS 1000.

Smell amazing Girl Scout Cookie. Super strong due to gg4 smelling like chocolate mint and cream Growdiaries keep crashing

Fastbuds Meme Video Contest

Day 75 watering with just ph controlled (6,2) water to finish flushing her Day 77 looks incredible frosty now, I Tonino I’m really close to CUt her. This afternoon I will check with microscope and, I’d like 25%amber and 75% milky

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

Another week of swelling... She's definitely going hard here in the final stages to help me win this contest... This has been as easy a grow as I've been very had, she's not particularly needy, and just from keeping it simple I say she's over delivered. Divine Seeds for the win on this one! Started the flush with AN's Flawless Finish on 10/14 to round her off and get her ready for harvest day!

Almost time for harvest let's see tlwhat happens next week have others not to far behind
