Grease Monkey

[SimplyCmplex]

OK...this is my grease monkey grow. Had a couple requests to see early pictures. Also had some questions of what I feed my gals.

Well first off...I believe in great white mycorrhizae, starting from jump. Whether it's seed or newly rooted clone. I also use silica blast and ful-humix! Coupled with a tea Ive tweaked for 3 years and molasses.

Since I've been pheno hunting my strains I don't spend much time training. I may top once, then let em go. Once I find what I'm looking for I'll train and top some hefty gals. I did train and top a bit on these before I flipped to take clones..I believe I took 15 or so clones total from 5 plants.

Had to check the calender finishing week 4 soon. Pics aren't too special, only using half the tent currently...got 5 kimbos up in front of the grease monkeys I'll eventually move over to the other side along with probably another 5-8 kimbos from veg. Well I'll update over a couple weeks. And Merry Xmas to everyone!

See the Kimbo in the bottom a couple days left flushing nicely.

Starting to purple up a bit

Those rails are getting frosty

Bonus kimbo shot..she's a lovely plant VERY underrated IMO!

Close to week 6..
I have 2 distinct phenos by view, and smell. This is what makes pheno hunting... gratifying for me. Hoping you get that oddball surprise..and hoping it checks all the "want" boxes!

Quick snap of the grease monkeys...couldn't get them all in the shot, mainly wanted to show the comparison between the 2 phenos.

Up close of 1 of the 2

Thank you much, the tent smell is of earthy sour funk, in a good way. You can definitely tell which are the gg4 leaners and which are the cooks n cream leaners.

Not super terpy, the biggest gal has a minimal smell, the 2 purp cooks leaners have the most terps and reek of goodness. Pink #4 I grew had the greasiest terpy feel I've ever experienced in bud. Even at a months cure, it still has a saturated sponge like feel, like the first day I jarred it.

They actually didn't follow ex's estimated flowering time. Although I never really put much faith in alleged flowering times anways..his previous gear was pretty right on. Day 71 was today. I pulled 1 (the runt) a week ago, pulled one tday. The other 4 could easily go another 7 days at least. I'll probably hold out another 3 days and recheck em. Luckily I didn't flush when I usually do.

Anything with cooks lineage has always ran longer than suggested from past experience.

The heavy cookie leaner runt. Headed to the jar. Nose is straight up cookie funk...if you've smelled cookies you know the smell, and it's LOUD!

Got so many different strains going right now, this will be an exciting year.

Alrighty chopped the others down as well, had 1 other heavy cookie leaner...the others appear to lean gg4. Strong chemy nose. Pics...everyone loves pics. The gg4 leaners all colored the same, with the same nose...

The cookie leaner is so purdy with a super loud cookie nose...she did her thing..

Bonus shot...guess who? 5 days in flower...I see you shining!!! She'll be wearing some pretty colors!

Holy 2000 watts of hps batman! Crazy what's your foot print for those good looking flowers? Only using half your tent, you said.. How big is tent in total? Love the results. But would also like a sneak peek at setup. Fans an box.

Appreciate the luv. Simply an 8x4 for flower. I overlap each side by about a month...keeps me perpetual. I don't use any air circulation fans. I use an 8" Can RS8HO running thru the 2 cooltubes to a can 66 filter. Truthfully, I simply keep my heat, and ph in check, and the gals reward me for my attention.

Nice man, that heavy cookie leaner is just beautiful!! I popped my last two grease monkey beans, and got two more ladies. One is definitely looking like a cookie leaner, fatter leaves,and frosty in veg. Definitely one of those strains that produces keepers, took me a year to decide which of my first two ladies was the one to keep.

Very nice grow show. Doing ExGen some real props. :)

Thank you much, I'd love to see what you end up with.

Much appreciated! As you already kno...ex's gear seems to do its thing...you just gotta listen.

You drop your temps at the end to make em go so purple or they just go on their own? My friends running few different phenos of GM he's dropping temps way low and everything else in the room purple as hell cept the GMs. Everything looks phenomenal btw:D

Thank you, my Temps get down to 68-70 with lights out. Dropping the Temps to induce coloring can work, but I feel it's a bit exaggerated. Ive seen temps high 50s at night throughout flowering and everything remains bright green. I believe it's mostly in the genes. Temps and light schedules can induce coloring.

Pics of my first two in my thread

Actually, my first two grease monkey ladies are in the thread I started in this section, you can check them out whenever, along with some of the other exotic strains i have grown. My other two grease monkeys will go into flower in the next week, and the cube is on deck.....looking like a couple weeks later.
