Here, for when you have to water her... they? I dont know

The baggies will stay sealed for at least 4ish days maybe more, they’ll get some initial droop, but you watch for them to begin to lift, once they do you cut off a little corner of the bag and I blow into it to open it up (and blow fresh air in) and usually a spray of water into the bag with some aloe water again, if she starts lifting the leaves she probably took, wait 2 more days open the bottom of the bag, wait 2 more days and she should be trying to stand up stright, remove 1 bag off each strain you grafted and wait 24 hours, if she dosent droop and the other graft looks to be at about the same spot remove it’s bag as well and monitor the same as the first if no droop after 12-24 hours you’re gold, let em rip

Both had cover crop chop and dropped

Top dress
3 cups craft blend
3 cups build a flower
1/4 cup Pushin p
1/4 cup Gaia green 4-4-4
1/4 cup Gaia green 2-8-4
2 cups work castings

Topped with about a gallon of chopped straw each

This is what I listen to when I'm finally switching strains lol
Rip oz

My playlists would fuck most people up it’ll go from skynyrd to lil Wayne to hardy and then pantera, and all over the place haha

Same, my neighbors never know what to think of me. One second the hear Metallica, next thing they hear is some random gangster rap, as well as Stevie ray Vaughn lol. I like to keep them confused. At least my old lady isn't some swift fan, she pretty much listens to the same things as me.

I have been deciding to change up what I am going to be growing. Mainly, I'm going to be doing a few test runs on a few new genetics while I'm phasing out what I have been mainly growing for the last 2 years. I want to have some new taste and flavors, I also have enough seeds where I can pick right back up to the last few sessions of crossing and the original strains I used and have as well as the mothers that I will just try to keep a little bit more dormant, I really want to get into the Hydra project with grafting, I just need to get a few things sorted out beforehand, like a dedicated space for a Hydra. I just threw a fruity pebble seed in to try out, in a couple weeks I will probably go with either white runtz or biscotti. I have about 7 different new genetics I haven't grown yet. But they are all 8-9 week strains like I grow already

Wanted to drop this in here as well!

Copious showing the fuck out in a 60 gallon haha, stretch is slowed and just about done, but she’s a absolute monster, rivals Frostette #3 has a stretch on the mains and then condensed node spacing at the tops, she’s settin up like a Frankenstein version of what she looked like in the 1 gallon… glad there’s 2 cuts of her on the hydra

Haha I'll love this everywhere you post it.

Beautiful plant. The leaf structure is awesome

That mo-fo is a beast

Thank you! She’s really looking forward to nice I’m glad I got cuts of her the hydra I can’t wait to see what she looks like around week 5

Right! Haha she really is a monster I dunno what else to feed her haha

I just went and half filled up a 10 gallon...
had to bring it in and let it thaw. I have a
4x4 thats going to open up once I get the Punta's into the tents in the out building. I have been slow playing these plants...sativas...the Black Lebanese is screaming to be flipped...

Has anyone ever tried out cold watering to help bring out the purple in the strains containing anthocyanins. I was reading about it last night. Seems interesting to try. It says to gradually decrease the water temp to bring down the root temperature, to help produce more purples or red or blues, whatever the strain. In the last two to three weeks, it was claiming not to hurt the yield but to make it more potent and also contain more turpenes, triggering a survival, thinking it's going into autumn

Maybe that is why my Black Lebanese leaves are turning purple....its single digits outside...my water is in 5 gallon jugs inside....but feels cold when I water/feed

It is very possible, i keep my hydro water at 68°f with a tank heater in each one of my buckets. The other plants I have been doing is in coco and perlite, I have been watering around 72, and the bottom temperature reads 67 with the laser Thermometer. But I was reading that they are watering up to ice cold water. But dropping the temperature slowly and they had some super colorful buds robust buds, so I didn't see a yield decrease from what I was seeing. It's something to keep in mind if anyone ever wanted to try this. I'm not going to drop my soil temp that low, but maybe 54°f lowest I feel comfortable dropping it to. But I will try it out on my last sherb cream pie I am running for a bit. If it goes well I will probably try it on the fruity pebbles I am in the process of germing rn to start introducing to my grow, and possible use for genetic crossing. Not sure yet if it's the one I want to manipulate. I have over a half dozen of new genetics to add or just keep around, idk yet, but I am sure I will find something that is worth while out of the new stuff

Do you offer your genetics?

I water with cold water daily, straight from tap, though VOC water filter into 5 gallon jugs that sit on my basement floor, but I have the best luck with overall cold night time temps to bring out colors

Wife got a new fiddlefig tree I donated a Gorilla 1 gallon grow bag to and some amendments to the cause
