POTM February 2026 Prize Product Review Grow

[PlumberSoCal2]

I've been entered in contests before but never a groom, always a bridesmaid so this is a first.

Many Thanks to @grayoldnproud for entering the pic

and of course all who voted for this Gelato 33 with pink pistols. I researched the Gelato strain with pink flowers and nothing, and then found out Pink Panties is a grandparent to the G33 strain.

As a Thank You to the Farm and our sponsors I plan to utilize the Pluse, DrainAway and Herbies seeds for a grow. Maybe even produce another picture worth consideration

I'll put all 3 to the test in the coming weeks/months.

Stay Tuned

Did the unboxing today

Requires 2 AA batteries. Downloaded the app onto my phone. I'm not real tech savvy but so far so good.

I now need to plug it in and pair with my phone which will happen tomorrow. There's a process that takes a bit and while retired I still have stuff to do. Just ask my better-half

There's plenty of time

Took me longer than I thought but we're now connected

And yes, those numbers are correct.

Here's what I've found intriguing for my grow style with this monitor, logging comditions over time and being able to compare grows and harvests and finging the sweet spot, as it were with my location and grow style.

1:30 am

From the comfort of my bed

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

3 Bruce Banner, Grandmommy Purple and Northern Lights autos. Seeds will be splashed this afternoon

6 Drainaway trays

By next weekend I'll have this all set up and ready for the seedlings.

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

Beans in the pond

Grandmommy Purple of COURSE I'll cross it to my GDP

Of course. Oh yeah.

Bruce Banner. New to me, believe it or not. I'm not a big fan of satives but we'll see and I'll take cuts, of course

Northern Lights auto. Oh my. I've wanted NL since like FOREVER

The autos won't be included in the PTOM winnings but will be grown and logged. Been a bit since I ran an auto but I NL from like forever.

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

And here we go

I'm going have to cross that Grandmommy Purple to my GDP. I'll take cuts of the Bruce Banner and the NL autos will get 2 gallon cloth pots.

Never give up, never surrender

I bugged 'em. Went to their websites and said Hey, I WON I WON (while jumping up and down the same way I do when the butcher calls my number) and no problem

Keep emailing them and DMing them! They came through for me! Now I’ve got a bunch of shit that I will never use, including the seeds! But I feel better about it!

I think I’m done with these overpriced seed slangers anyway, they can go suck a fat one…and I don’t mean a doobie…between cool folks here and the collection of seeds I already have and will be making more, I’m set for life…I have picked up a few beans from some guys on Strainly.io though…and some pollen….love this website.

Yes, same. I didn't need the monitor, the drainAways or the seeds BUT keep in mind their sponsorship is good for the Farm

Took me about a month to get up with pulse and herbies but drain away was fast but I did finally get all 3 prizes
