Thanks. I’m really interested in their genetics. Though it’s a mystery to me.. I follow on social media, so I’ve been seeing what he’s been working with, and he raves about it. Leaves me in a pool of suspense & excitement.

Hopefully not one of Budzbuddha's yellow pools!

Good old organic krakty hydroponics

Day 60 / 11 from flip.
Flowers are starting to form, so it looks like the tucking days may be over.
#2

#3

That's great, now they start to put on a show.

Day 62/ 12

Removed one of the bigger leaves to open up light to the inside. Should do some good. #2’s got some pretty leaf structure.

Had to yank this branch below back again. It had pulled away.(below)

Pulled these lower shoots outward towards left center field to get more light, and hopefully stretch into their own square.

Those little plastic clips are rad. Where do you get those?

They’re actually for hanging Christmas ornaments. Picked em up at a dollar store.

Just a few random pics taken while checking on them. I game them plain water today, tomorrow night they will get another feeding.
light has been turned up to 50%. I’m going to gradually raise it over the next week. By Next Friday I want to be at 100%. I may strap the hanging gear from the support pole to gain another 4-5” of distance from the plants.
Temps have been 76-78F / 56-64% rh

Day 67 of life / Day 17 since the flip.
Flowers are looking/forming great.
Next feeding is going down tonight, at which point I’ll be turning the light up to 75%.

Just a little more than 24hrs later. I’m noticing #3 looking to be mag deficient. Possibility lacking a little potassium as well.
I’ve been using the AN Sensi Calmag Xtra with iron, kelp & micro nutrients (already added) maybe she would rather a nice dose of epsom salt in her next feeding. Which will be in a few hours. I’m going to step the feed up on them from 1tsp p/g to 1.3tsp p/g of Maxibloom. 1.5g of epsom. Ph’d to 6.4-6.5.

#2

#3

Looking great!

All I can say is..

Thanks! I'm seeing some yellowing coming in fast on #3, but #2 is strolling along like a champ. Hoping they are dry enough for me to water them again today. Might add some PK from my Athena stash.

Looking good!

Adding up the feeding make any changes to #3?

I'm going to add a mixed dose of nutes with a little more nitrogen. The yellowing is starting on the lower half and quickly moving up. I dim the light back to 50% as to not suck the life out of #3 completely before drying back. Once I am able to feed, I will bump the light back up to 75%.

22 days from the flip. Deficiency is progressing on #3, while #2 pitties the fool.
A half dose of veg nutes will be given to #3 most likely tonight. I’ll also add some bk booster. We’re going to ride them both out til either the wheels fall off.. or the buds grow balls.
With tester seeds I expect hiccups. Things aren’t too bad though. This test here will probably open up more opportunities in the future for testing out new genetics.
As far as the XS1500 Pro… this light is putting these plants to work. The size of these pre flower is impressive by my standard. I’m seeing some great potential packed into this 150w fixture. As we found out here that one of these plants can’t take all the light it’s putting out at 112.5w (75%) with “normal” feeds.
With more updates we will see where it can take these girls.
I hope everyone reading along enjoys their day.. even if you skip the first 4 pages… lol I hope you have a good day too.

Got a little yellow, hope it doesn't matter.
These girls will be taken to the pure land. lol

Lol maybe I need some Ter-pee tea.

Day 31 from the flip.
I got rid of a couple of the oldest leaves on each plant. They were just getting in the way.
Some purple setting in on #2
My suspicions are coming to light as to what strain it is. Raspberry Crème (Nag champa leaner) I’ll get more pics on it. From the dude who made the cross.
#3 is a Pbb leanerI took some of the extremely pale leaves off her.. I’m not about to play catch up from a losing position. I’ll just do my best to keep the remaining leaves green.
The light has been turned up to 100% at day 30.

I’ll just look at her in the end and ask.. “but did you die?” Lol right before the chop.

Rock and roll! I have no idea why I wasn't getting the updates on this. How's the smell?
