GeO's Grows

Well, it seems my next few indoor grows will be dedicated to, and sponsored by, the fantastic folks at Sweet Seeds.

I had the pleasure of receiving a message on another forum from them, asking if I'd like to be sent some seeds for testing, and leaving a grow diary.

Did not take long for me to make my choices from the selection provided.

As I'm eager to make massive photoperiods, I only selected one autoflower. If Dark Devil or any of the other purple autos were available, I would have certainly gone with those.
My selection was as follows:
1. Crystal Candy XL Auto
2. Black Jack
3. Gorilla Girl

I don't expect to receive seeds for well over a month, just to keep my eagerness at bay for a little lol.

By the time they arrive, I should be ready to go with both and auto and a photo. If timing is perfect, it will be 2 autos and a photo.
 
Wow wow wow, what a great two days it's been.

First the good news from Sweet Seeds, now the better news from 420 Magazine

Now that I'll have some Geoflora and Purpinator to work with, along with some sweet new genetics, my game plan has changed yet again!

I was going to switch to one large photoperiod in each tent in the basement, not anymore. One tent will be dedicated to a single photo, but the other will be doing another 4 strain run of photos. Might as well get some testing done.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

My excitement cannot be expressed through the written word, nothing does it justice.
 
Basement photoperiods looking quite excellent. The Sweet Cheese is the lightest green of them all, due to getting less amounts of nutrient water. I'm going to start watering it first, so it gets enough nutrients.

Garden of Green: Super Skunk Kush

Once I find out what Dope Seeds provides, I will leave a list of what, when, and how I plan to grow them. Along with Sweet Seeds of course, as they will be grown together.

I will also be doing a test of dry amendment nutrients. Geoflora, obviously, and Gaia Green.
4 plants, 2 different strains. One of each strain will get either Geoflora or Gaia Green. If I do this with cuttings, I will do 9 at a time. Well, try to that is

I will also be doing a test of the Purpinator. 4 plants again, with 2 strains. For the first run I will stick with just Geoflora, and use Purpinator on only one of each strain. Second run will be with Gaia Green.
I will also test it on non purple varieties, or at least varieties not listed as being a purple.
 
Everyone is just booming. White Widow is drying out it's pot for the last time, as she comes down very soon. Foxtails are becoming more prominent die to being so close to the light. Without any LST, these buggers get over 3 ft in a hurry.

Sweet Cheese is still looking great, cannot wait to see if she finishes up in time for the contest.
IMG_20201001_081804_682.jpg

4 photo run is still keeping me very happy, buds are bulking and crystals are forming. Going to be a nice sea of colas in a months time.

Had an accident when administering some LST to my Power Africa, I broke a branch. My first ever training incident, took long enough. I don't think I was too rough, I think it was just a delicate branch. Oh well, lots of time to recover that lost node.
IMG_20201003_084547_812.jpg

Super Skunk will be moving into the flower tent soon, just as my PK Solo Cup will be going soon.

Freedom Kush and Northern Lights are looking good, just 11 days old right now
 
PK Solo and Super Skunk Auto have been moved downstairs into a flowering tent. Going from being under a Mars Hydro TS-1000 for their entire 4 weeks of vegetation, to flowering under a 315w CMH. I'm curious to see if I'll notice a difference in growth. Hoping the higher intensity of the CMH will cause some denser and frostier buds.

Blueberry outside is starting to have it's purple drawn out from the cold weather the last few days. I hope it will last 2 more weeks to be harvested.

Run of photos in the other basement tent is still coming along nicely. Colas are glistening with trichomes, but not so much on the Badazz OG Cheese. I still expect good things from that one, so I will remain patient. Almost at week 4 of flowering, cannot wait to see them after another 4.
IMG_20201004_102231_363.jpg
 
Finally took the plunge and chopped her down. I was going to hang the entire plant intact, but it's way too long for my drying box. That being said, I had to remove the buds from the stalk, and is now resting in my new dryer rack.

184 grams total of wet bud. With the 4 to 1 ratio, I'm looking at around 40+ grams of dried bud. Top cola was 29.8 wet grams all on it's own.

The smell is remarkable, much more powerful than the previous grow. Loving the colours, didn't expect any purple to be present, but I know it's always possible with different phenotypes.

Beautiful plants
 
Well, it's been a long time. Forgot all about this. So, time to get back at it.

First up we have the unfortunate ones. I had a CMH in here before, but it broke, so I decided to put an underpowered LED light in here, and see how it goes. So far so good. No issues, and great results.

Back left: Gorilla Girl - Day 23
Back right: Violet Kush Auto - Day 16

Next we have the other that still have a working CMH.
Front left: Purple Lemonade Auto - Day 63
This bugger turns out to need lots of nutrients, more than recommended, hard to adjust midway when using Gaia Green amendment, and you suck. Now I know for next time, be prepared.
Back: Dark Devil Auto - Day 41
Turns out this one is also a little bugger, and needs less than a full dosage of nutrients. You can see a large nitrogen toxicity. Plant grew fine, even with severely clawed leaves. Again, something I'll have to remember for next round.

Two autos have been removed, and today have been replaced with four more autos. All Dark Devil Auto re bred seeds I bought from someone on Instagram. I've already seen what these do, just haven't documented them. Not a purple variety, but I really don't care. 100 good quality autos for $80 was definitely worth it. Gave a bunch to my friend, and he's had to have harvested 1lb from them by now.

Took a break for a year did you? :rofl:
Nice training.

Stay safe.

Not intentionally though lol. I forgot I had tents to be used downstairs. One tent had the light break, and I didn't replace it, so it completely left my mind.

Jumped back in a few months back, and now I'm doing better than ever. This is just my tent with a still working CMH. Other tent has one Mars TS-1000. Mars is sending me a second one to add, which will be here in a little while. ViparSpectra also just agreed to sponsor me, and I'm waiting on an XS-2000. I dropped a Phantom Cookies Domina yesterday to go under the eventually XS-2000, but I want to start it now
 
Now that my tester seeds have arrived, it's time to buckle down. First round will be under the 2 Mars Hydro TS1000's, providing 300w of power to the tent. Second round will be with the ViparSpectra XS2000, which is only 240w, so it will be interesting to see if it can keep up with the first round.

All four will be flowered out untouched, other than defoliation. I want to see how they grow naturally. I will also be growing one Bubble OG outside this summer, so it will be a great test.

My goal is to provide excellent feedback, allowing me to continue growing their genetics as a tester.

Less than 18 hours in water, and they already have roots showing. The other two shouldn't be far behind. ATF and Gold Sativa are in Solo cup root stackers, where they will remain for 1 1/2 weeks after germination.
