Update for my Useful Fam:

Had to do some canopy management today for my 3 month old BBnC girls, as I’m in stretch and really only have a foot to spare at most. Sticking my hand down in that canopy has left my freaking arms and hands coated in resin already. All I can say is that I really hope I like this strain, as these two plants are taking up 60%+ of my 4x4 canopy. I have other plants in there, but honestly they can all go f*** themselves if need be, as I’ve put 3 months into these girls and just flipped to 12/12 a couple of days ago. :bigjoint:

Last Strawberry Nuggets, getting flushed:

And it looks like Mephisto’s Grape Walker Kush is next in line for the axe:

Still feenin’ for that DDS but I’ve got so many beans right now I can’t justify it :|. We’ll see how long I can hold out hah

P.S., if any new growers happen to want to know the difference in growth rate between organic soil and coco with inorganic nutes, look at the first set of pics. You can see the plant on the left is completely exploding (coco coir). I haven’t gotten far enough to judge which is the better smoke, but coco coir really allows for some rapid growth. That said, it’s a lot easier to manage (time wise) the soil, as all I really have to do is give some water and top dress here or there.

Coco is a beast! I just switched back to soil for the 1st time in 10 yrs or so, lol and I forgot how damn slow soil is.

I switched to soil so I can enjoy the summer time because with coco you gotta be on top of watering or your shit will dry out way too fast.

I never really notice too much of a difference with flavor in soil vs coco but I run really low ppm in coco which helps the flavor come out.

Hell yeah, I have a feeling you’re going to be greatly rewarded and fine with the fact that those BBnC took up 60% plus of your space. Look forward to your updates

These two girls have been through a lot, quite resilient. They have persevered through a lot of mistakes and stress: if it was practical for me, I’d def. make some clones, but I just really can’t pull it off in my present circumstances space-wise, time-wise, etc. I’m hoping I can make good enough decisions/control the environment enough to see them through another 7-8 weeks (it is summer and absolutely hot as shit, so controlling humidity with the large dehumidifier is a challenge due to the heat it puts off). I feel like I’m definitely getting better at growing, but I still have a lot to learn and experience. It’s nice that Useful has some fantastic genetics at completely reasonable prices. Really softens the blow of those initial mistakes (aka learning opportunities) for new growers like myself. It’s also great to have such a kickass community. Most of the time I forget to even venture out of this thread to the rest of the forums. :blsmoke:

I’ve also got good things to say about Mephisto’s autos. I’m digging them too as it gives me less opportunity to F them up (because they finish so fast). That said, it’s not extremely practical to grow them both out in the same rooms/tents, as you really miss out on the huge upside of autos when you run a 12/12. Once I get a bigger space, I’m definitely gonna sport both of these breeders perpetually, as I have nothing but good things to say about both of them. That said, I’ve also been able to attest to Useful’s character and involvement with the cannabis community through this thread, so I’m more than happy to rep his beans.

What do you get up to max, EC/PPM wise? I’m around 775-825 ppm on my big mama. She seems to turn yellow any lower at this point (new growth). I’m really still trying to dial in my fert regimen in coco. I’ve kinda gone back and forth between h3ad 6/9 and canna coco light schedule. I’ve pretty much winged it on this Strawberry Nuggets coco girl. Maybe I have a fear of commitment...

I run the nutrients as low as I can, typically 300-500ppm in veg and 500-700 in flower but lower if I can go there without yellowing and what not.

Blueberries and chocolate at 5 weeks and 6 days. Looks like this one might be done in 7-7.5 weeks. I'll get better pics with no lights when it's done.

Ok so it seems like your gonna be the first to harvest the BBnC strain. I only flipped mine 5 days ago.

They look good , whats the nose on it like?

7-7.5 weeks? that seems to good to be true lol, lets hope your right, we might really have a winner here with this strain.

Honestly I havent smelled it. It's closer to the back of the room i cant really get to it without taking most things out.

Yeah 7-7.5 weeks is the quickest I will have found, but even if its done in 8 that's cool. I've found very few strains that are really done before 9-10 weeks. Does seem a little quick considering the cross though imo, guess well see in a week or so.

Couple more pics of my Blueberries n Chocolate at the beginning of week 7. I'm thinking she'll go the full 10 weeks as long as no pollination occured

And I only have a few of the Tranquil Chocolate that pretty much went 12/12 fro seed. Tallest and best smelling plant in the tent so of course it's the smallest. I need to plat another soon and I hope they go on sale somewhere!

here is a TC leaf compared to the BBnC

I swear the Tranquil Chocolate is the best smelling plant in the tent and the leaves are telling me it'll be on the indica side so I might have to reveg this one. I'll try to get some better pictures for you soon.

My question is, does Coco coir affect the outcome of the yield of Flowers?
Because I am under the impression that you can get just as big of buds using organic methods as you can using hydroponic methods

There's a ton of factors besides medium which contributes towards yield. I would say that Coco is a nice introduction to hydro if you're coming from soil. But generally, I would say that a coco hydro set up with similar veg times would produce a higher yield than had you ran in soil. If youre specifically talking about the size of flower as well as density, then that comes from genetics, nutes, air temp, air flow, humidity, UV, photon count, and a few other factors.

Niiiice! Why do you think she's pollinated?

When I've got a pollinated plant, the pistils usually dry up pretty soon after the deed.

I see some brownies on some of yours, but still got a lot of whiteys going on.

I just put two TC's into flower today. Some of the stems are crazy thick, and leaves are like yours.

I'll be following, thanks for running point!
