Central NY grow….first time (Brothers Grimm genetics)

What’s up all? Hope everyone is having a good season thus far….weather has been crazy here lately ie super hot then torrential storms. My plants have been holding up great though and have some intense vigor.

So here’s the deal….as of right now I have four plants growing, 3 outdoor and 1 indoor that I plan on finishing outdoor when the hours of light start to diminish. I live in an apartment complex so I’m not able to grow outside here and don’t have enough space for an indoor grow tent. I’m lucky enough that my girlfriends cousin has a house and a back yard where she has grown in the past….i gave her some seeds and offered to help with her plants if I could grow a few. At the moment I have a Cinderella Pineapple, Apollo 11, and a Cinderella Purple (indoor) all from Brothers Grimm. I was also given a Blueberry plant from my GF’s cousin (ILGM genetics).

My outdoor set up is pretty straight forward, they’re
all in 10 gallon smart grow bags with ocean forest soil….next time I think I’ll do half OF half HF as I had slight burn on A11. My plan is to start feeding with Advance Nutrients in the next two weeks, doing a hybrid grow appealed to me.

I’ve been going and checking on the plants once a week and plan on going tomorrow to check on them so I’ll try to get some pictures….tomorrow will be 3 weeks since I’ve moved them outdoor. Apollo and Pineapple have been LST’d since last week and I plan on starting with Blueberry this week. Tuesday Purple will be 3 weeks old and I plan on transplanting her into a 1 gallon pot this week. Purple is being grown on my kitchen counter under a 40w full spectrum LED with a fan and just tap water….she is in FFHF. I know this is a micky mouse set up…but it’s been working and I really enjoy having a plant in my apartment that I can look at and watch grow. I love these plants….I’ve experimented with them since I was a teenager in windows and I’ve actually grown some high grade bud…..super small harvests though as you’d expect. These experiments allowed me to learn and see how these plants grow and express themselves differently.

Here’s what Blueberry, Pineapple, and Apollo (shown left to right) looked like day 1 of outdoor:IMG_6590.jpegIMG_6593.jpegIMG_6592.jpegIMG_6591.jpeg

Here is a photo today from the garden, you can see how much they’ve progressed:IMG_6618.jpeg

Last but not least…Purple on my counter just kicking ass….this thing is a tank, super compact and vigorous. These came from a test pack from Brothers Grimm (Purple Urkle x C-99 backcrossed with C-99). Apparently these have some great Pheno’s in the test packs…not sure of all of them but this one is super indica for sure. She showed purple from day one….all new growth has a purple hue then it’s turns dark green…super cool plant: IMG_6619.jpegIMG_6620.jpeg

I’ll be posting more and keeping everyone updated with the progress of my girls. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks for reading and happy growing all!!

Wasn’t able to post yesterday but was able to go and see the girls. It had been rainy and in the 70’s so they were a little droopy but nothing to worry about. Decided to do some minor defoliation on Pineapple and Apollo and started LST on Blueberry. Blueberry has some weird leaf growth going on…..all new growth are 3 finger leaves even though she started her first few sets with 5 fingers. What would cause a plant to go from 5 to 3 finger leaves? Upon further inspection I found a few 2 finger leaves and also some leaves with weird discoloration (see in pictures below) My two thoughts are that it’s either genetics, stress, or both. Some of you may say that it’s in reveg but I assure it’s not….she has shown sex as a female as have Pineapple and Apollo. Should I be worried of her herming? As I said in my first post, blueberry was gifted to me and I’m not exactly sure of what stresses she encountered before I took on her care. Besides that…all three look great and are growing well/look healthy with dark green leaves….take a look
