A somewhat more interesting update. Stretch has slowed down a bit and buds are starting to put on some mass. Second layer of nets has been dropped and the trop cherry tent got one as well. Happy with how things are going. Upped the PPFD in all the tents.

Burgers are looking good. Hitting them with the gas, 800+ PPFD. Terps are starting to make themselves apparent. Somewhat decent canopy hopping (coping) that I'll get a bit more stretch out of them to get the middle branches up, but we'll see.

LCGs have mostly filled out the tent. Wife wants to keep some gaps around the tent for compression when the exhaust fan turns on. They’re also getting 750+ PPFD across.

Jelly breaths are finally looking like we expect them. Getting the temps up in the tent helped a ton. They’re also getting 700+ PPFD. The Oreoz, white runtz and Gary Payton are looking good as well. They’re about two weeks behind so they’re just ending week 1 of flower. They’re getting about 500ppfd and taking it well.

Last is the grape gas and trop cherry tent. Dropped a net in there because the grape gas just stretched more than we could compensate for.
57C63FF4-771B-4DA1-8324-C1D71C04CF75.jpeg

This helped a ton. Now most of the tent is getting 800+ppfd. Edges are still around 400. Once we’re sure the stretch is done we’ll drop the light. The HLG 300R has a warmer hue to it than the other lights we use in the 5x5's. Makes the plants look a lot lighter than they are. Swear they're not that light yellow lol.

Trop cherry flashing the color.

Overall things are going well. All the tents are sitting at 700+PPFD. The extra intensity brought much appreciated extra heat. With lights on all the tents are sitting in the low 80's now. Still drop to the low 70's with lights off, but nothing below that. Still at about 3L's of water every other day. Tips are starting to get some color to them so we are going to up the run off a bit. Up till now it's been sub 5%. Last watering was in the range of 5-10% run off. Since we don't have any meters to read the EC of the coco we're just guessing. It's a 50/50 mix so we assume (think?) it won't hold too much EC, but we'll see.

Temp: 82F
RH: 65%
PPFD: 750+

Got our 21 day defoliation done. Overall things are looking good!

Jelly breaths are looking good. It’s apparent the cold at the start of flower took its toll. Lateral branching also was fairly weak as well. Judging from our last time we ran these, seems like they don’t have strong lateral branching. Three smaller ones are looking strong too.

We are happy with the growth. The colder nights are bringing out the colors early but definitely looking like it’s holding them back a bit. They’re up to drinking about 2L a day with a daily cadence.

Temp: 82F
RH: 60%
PPFD: 750+
PPM: 1070
 
So we are at 29F and things are going as well as we could have hoped. Over the last couple of days we have; pushed the lights harder, upped the PPMs, and dropped the RH. Things seem to be doing good!

Jelly Breaths and company: We are at about 2 weeks on the other three. Stood them up a bit higher to get that sweet sweet PPFD. They seem to be handling it well. The #5 pheno on the right seems to have handled all the bull better than the #3 pheno. Both are budding up very well. Light in most spots is around 800PPFD. Some of the tops are taking 1000+, but the trellis is around 800ish.

Lemon Cherry Gelatos: We have run this cut before and know she's a late bloomer, thinking week 6+ is when the wild stuff started. They are all looking really good. The back ones were looking a little lite in color compared to the others. I had been thinking they might need a smidge more Calcium. Added .2gr/gal of calcium sulfate and the color came has seem to come back well. Light was upped and most spots are now sitting at 900~ppfd. Few of the tops are getting 1200~ but everything else is sitting between 875 and 925.

The burgers: I personally love smoking donny burger so I was super hyped for this run to really see what we could do with her. It's the #5 pheno featured in high times and hunted by a local dispo from here. Really excited with how these girls are growing. Lights sitting at around 950~ppfd in most spots.

One top is getting 1350~ interested to see how it handles it. So far seems to be handling it well.

Last up is the grape gas and Trop Cherry. We've grown both these strains now a few times and know what to expect. And they're delivering. They're the lowest light tent. Only getting around 500~ on average. Some of the tops are getting a whopping 1300+ ppfd but due to the light being a HLG 300R the foot print is a tad small for how full this tent is.

Overall big happy. We changed our water recipe a bit, due to running out of purpinator, but it seems it was for the best. We upped the light quite a bit and they have responded extremely well. Huge growth across all the bud sites and strong resin production. Only things that aren't great are the jelly breaths and the lone Gary Payton in their with them. We thing the Jelly Breaths may have been held up a lot by the cold, but also may not work the greatest in our system. Either way, still 6 more weeks to go.

Donny Burgers: Tent is doing well. We've maxed out the light now, pushing 900-1000+ in most spots, few tops getting 1200+.

LCG: Girls are always late to start packing on weight and this go is much the same. Frost factor so far is pretty good, excited to see her start packing on weight. They have also been taking the most PPFD to the face. Few of those taller tops are getting 1400+ Rest of it is around 900-1000.

Jelly Breaths and company: JB's are looking alright. One is packing on more weight than the other. We'll see if it continues. The other gals in the tent are chugging along. Wife just cleaned them up at their day 21.

Grape Gas and Trop Cherry: Sadly the lack of PPFD is starting to finally show. Comparing pictures from our last runs of these, the same bulk isn't quite there.

Overall we are really happy with the grow. We gripe but honestly we are growing some awesome weed. Our last water was a tad too hot I think. Going back to a lower EC. The jelly breaths are a 9-10 week plant, still a tad early to start seeing brown pistles.

Most of these strains are 8-10 week flowering time. For most of them this should mark the start of the bulking phase, or at least we hope lol.

Donny Burgers: Girls are looking amazing. Top down photo's don't do justice to how thicc these are getting. Some of the tops that were getting the absolutely wild PPFD numbers are showing some brown pistils. Keeping an eye on it. Girls are going to need jackets with how frosty they're getting.

Lemon Cherry Gelatos: These girls are late chunkers and are showing how much heft they can start to pack on as the weeks go by. Week over week they have about doubled their mass. Last time we ran it they did the same. Fingers crossed the trend continues. Resin rails on these girls are pretty wild.

Jelly Breath and Company: The two different pheno's of the Jelly Breaths are really starting to express their differences. The left set is chunkier by a long margin. The Oreoz, White Runtz and Gary payton are still doing their thing in the middle of the tent. Day 28F for them.

Last up is the Trop Cherry and Grape Gas: Lower PPFD is taking it's tole. The girls are still getting qiute thicc but compared to previous runs it's obvious they aren't going to get to the crazy size they have in the past. Terps in this tent are out of this world tho.

Dropped the PPM's in our last couple of batches, down to about 1000PPM/2EC. Still giving them the gas. The three smaller ones in the middle are starting to get a bit beat by it, but eh....

Spartangrown of MBGS fame has Donny, triple , & some other strain to breed his Spartan's Puke. Donny and Gary Paton are great pheno's. SS Looks great over there.
 
Hmm haven't heard of that grower. Quick googlefoo found his insta, I'll check it out.

Donny is one of my favorite smokes. First time I really had psychedelic effects from weed; remember standing in the shower wondering if the paint was really running off the walls or I was just that high.

Hoping to get some color out of them too. With all the storms it's been really mild in the bay. Night's aren't nearly as cold as they were a month ago, so we may not. We can go the flush route but we've never pulled it off successfully.
 
So many tents all in flower.
Have you ever considered staggering your grows.
Trim time must be hell when they are all done so close together.
They look GREAT~!
 
It can be hell. Honestly our last run trimming up 3 tents wasn't so bad, took about a day. At least when they're all massive nugs. Trimming up popcorn and shit sucks.

At least for us it's a team effort since it's my wife and I.

My wife and I also approach the grows as a team effort. Even then, we try to space out the trimming so we're not attempting to trim more than a plant or 2 a day. Otherwise it becomes a chore ... As for popcorn buds/larf? I lollipop most of that off during early flower. Whatever larf that is left after a run usually goes into the trash. I always have an abundance of weed so that little bit that gets pitched is never missed.

GF and I also trim as a team. I trim and put the buds into the jar. She removes the buds and rolls joints and smokes them. Teamwork.

Things are humming along. Starting to think the Lemon Cherry Gelatos saw some reveg at some point, but we shall see. Everyone else is looking good. Everyone is bulking up.

Jelly Breath's: Two pheno's are miles apart in size. Resin production is similar, but I don't think either are cuts we want to continue to hold onto. The cold start has not helped their case, but still. We know we have better cuts we can grow out.

Lemon Cherry Gelatos: May have seen some reveg. Not entirely sure what may have caused it. In either case they are starting to fill out quite a bit more. Cannot complain about the bulk we see coming in. Frost is certainly there.

Donny Burgers: I have to admit, pretty fucking hyped with how the donny burger grow is going. Some purple color is starting to develop on the top colas. Lower colas are starting to really pack on the weight. Terps are starting to come on strong, mainly Gas right now.

Trop Cherry and Grape Gas: Trop Cherry color is coming in really strong and boy are the nugs getting fat. Not quite as massive as last time, but they're still going to be healthy full dongers. The grape gas is doing exactly what she always does. Terps are out of this world on her. I wish smell could come through the screen. Sweet sweet grape mixed with dirty laundry. Like a fat kids shirt after they spilled grape soda.

Been a few more days and it's obvious the Lemon Cherry Gelato had/has some issues, but they're still swelling quite a bit. Outside of that, very happy with everything so far.

Donny Burgers: Are swelling very nicely. Some color is starting to come in. Got some bad taccoing on a couple of the tops, so rolled the light back a bit. Down to about 750 PPFD.

Lemon Cherry Gelatos: Took some better photo's to capture the re-veg. Some got it worse than others. Lessons learned. Even with that we will still have some interesting looking nugs.

Jelly Breaths: The Jelly Breaths have changed the least. The three in the middle are doing well, oreoz is getting so frosty lol.

In the last week(s) of flower. This run wasn't as successful as our last run, and we think for a number of reasons. The cooler weather didn't help, but neither did us sending them to flower as early as we did expecting the same explosive growth we had when it was warmer. I also mistakenly though jacks part A had no nitrogen in it. It in fact does. Unintentionally bumped up the N mid flower, pretty sure that caused a lot of problems, including the re-veg of the Lemon Cherry Gelato. We have never flowered in the 2x4 before and decided to do two strains that grow completely differently, and we also through three random clones in the middle of one tent, 2 weeks into flower.

That all being said, we are going to get a few lb's of serviceable weed.

The Donny Burgers: These girls were least effected by the N bump. Some lost a lot of mass in the top cola's due to it, or so I think at least. There are some spots down on the lower growth that are more leafy than other areas. Still, the girls have some really impressive colas.

The Grape Gas and Trop Cherry: Between the lower ppfd and less consistent ppfd, as well as the N issue, its obvious this trop cherry lost some weight to the previous run. Still the color is amazing. The grape gas has never been an impressive yielder. She makes up what she lacks for in the terp and smoke factor. Honestly one of the most intoxicating terps. Thankfully she has retained that despite it all, and her frost factor is quite good as well.

The Lemon Cherry Gelatos: This is the tent that ended up making us the most sad. It clearly took a hit from the N bump and re-vegged. The girls that were topped re-vegged the most. Not expecting much out of this tent, not sure if we're going to end up keeping it. We'll see after the dry.

Jelly Breath's and Company: These girls didn't re-veg because of the N-bump, it just murdered their growth for a while. Sadly, the right side of the Jelly Breaths didn't really grow much for the last 4 weeks. The other girls faired better, but not a ton.

All in all, excited for the chop to come so we can get to drying and smoking. This is the first time I've run the Donny and am hyped to smoke it.

In the last week(s) of flower. This run wasn't as successful as our last run, and we think for a number of reasons. The cooler weather didn't help, but neither did us sending them to flower as early as we did expecting the same explosive growth we had when it was warmer. I also mistakenly though jacks part A had no nitrogen in it. It in fact does. Unintentionally bumped up the N mid flower, pretty sure that caused a lot of problems, including the re-veg of the Lemon Cherry Gelato. We have never flowered in the 2x4 before and decided to do two strains that grow completely differently, and we also through three random clones in the middle of one tent, 2 weeks into flower.

That all being said, we are going to get a few lb's of serviceable weed.

The Donny Burgers: These girls were least effected by the N bump. Some lost a lot of mass in the top cola's due to it, or so I think at least. There are some spots down on the lower growth that are more leafy than other areas. Still, the girls have some really impressive colas.

The Grape Gas and Trop Cherry: Between the lower ppfd and less consistent ppfd, as well as the N issue, its obvious this trop cherry lost some weight to the previous run. Still the color is amazing. The grape gas has never been an impressive yielder. She makes up what she lacks for in the terp and smoke factor. Honestly one of the most intoxicating terps. Thankfully she has retained that despite it all, and her frost factor is quite good as well.

So the Jelly Breaths. They weren't putting on more weight and there was significant amber. Gave them the ol karate chop. Wife said I should have took some pictures of them, and she was right. The left side (#3) had some decent weight to her, but the right side (#5) was light. Fit both plants on a single rack. We decided to move the grape gas and trop cherry out of the 2x4 and into that 5x5 and use the 2x4 as a temporary dry space for the girls we just chopped. The Jelly Breath's tent still had the Oreoz, Garry Payton and the White Runtz going that are two weeks behind.

Grape Gas and Trop Cherry: To be honest the wife and I were sleepn' on how good the grape gas and trop cherry were doing. Putting them in the 5x5 really allowed us to open them up. Terps are amazing. In that same tent we still have the other three going.

Lemon Cherry Gelato: The big sad tent. It's putting on some impressive weight here at the end. Still sad, but less so. Some of the tops look like their giving us the middle finger for that lil N bump a couple weeks back. Overall it's crazy to see how 4 clones from the same mom all handled it differently.

Donny Burger: The color is starting to come in, as the end nears. Still a lot of swelling going on down in the lower growth, while the tops are starting to mature and the resin glans puff up or what ever they do.

Donny burgers are still drinking around 3L of water a day, a couple of them even more than that. The LCG's are around 2L a day, while the Grape Gas and Trop Cherry around around 1-1.5L a day. Lights have slowly getting lower. Burgers are sitting at 700, LCG's are at 750, while the grape gas and trop cherry tent is around 600, depending on the top. Overall we are happy. This is going to produce a lot of good moments and fun times, can't wait.

Friday is likely Chop day for all of them. That will mark day 70. The Trop Cherry might be a tad more ripe than desired but that's our next day off. The Oreoz, White Runtz, and Garry Payton will be at the start of their chop window but eh this was more just to flower some plants we didn't want to throw away. The Donny Burgers are looking to be just a few days out. The lemon cherry gelatos are likely closer to a week, but Friday it is!

The Lemon Cherry Gelatos: What a wild looking bunch of plants. Between the re-veg, the crazy frox tailing, bleached tops, and cursed cola's, this tent has some character to it. We are both curious to see how this will turn out. The colas weigh a ton, so we're hopeful.

Trop Cherry and Company: Trop Cherry really a victim of her own success. Colas are getting heavy and flopping all over the place. The oreoz is doing oreoz things and throwing snowballs all over the place. The white runts is really getting this awesome silver color to her, really pretty.

The Bergers: Girls are looking absolutely fabulous. Fall colors are in full effect. Colas are swollen and throwing beautiful color. Little bit of amber here and there. Thinking Friday should be perfect time to chop.

Looks dank AF man!🤯
I can't help but giggle at a strain named Donny Berger. 😁
That might be my favorite Adam Sandler movie. Whoever bred that also needs an Uncle Vanny and Mrs. Magerical to go with it :cool:
 
As one grow comes to and another is starting in its place. We ended up chopping everything on 70F or 58Fish for the oreoz/gary payton/white runtz. We took some photos on chop day, but forgot for the trop cherry :( Big sad on that one, but that's the hazards of mixing the fruits of your labor and the labor itself. Either way, some last moments before the chop shots.

Donny Burger:

All chopped and hung up in a tent. trying to keep them at 65F/60RH but it's been warm, warmer than wanted for drying. For vegging plants tho it's been incredible. Our next run was cut on 2/13, here they are now:

So we are 6 weeks since we cut them and like day ?? of veg. Not sure how to draw the line between propagation and vegging. Things are looking good. We took more cuts today, hopefully to get them done before the end of July when it starts to get hot around here.

Real sours and a couple of glitter bombs:

Happy Easter or Sunday what ever floats your boat.

Small update, working through trimming up everything. Got through the Jelly Breaths, got about 3/4 lb off them. Grape Gas was frosty as all hell, but showed signs of the weaker light in the 2x4. Nugs weren't as dense as the JB's. Ended up with 1/4lb. Smoke is on point tho. Working through the Donny Burger, currently through 3/4 of the plants and at about 1lb. Expecting to get another 1/4lb off the last rack we got. Right off the dry, the smoke has been amazing. Big fuck ya on that one. Eventually will remember to take pictures.

New grow is looking good. Temps took a drop here in the bay with the storms. Ended up moving the heaters back in after a couple of cold nights that ended up in the high 50's. Plants stressed from the temp drops. Stems flashed some color pretty quick. Today, though, was a good day. Temps were in the low 70's. Tents were pushing 77 with lights on. Heaters are set to 70, so they shouldn't drop much below that.

Ironically we keep another excel sheet with all the gory details and link this to it. We reference back so often because we can see the pictures of when we did certain things. It's really an amazing learning tool.
 
So it’s been like 8 weeks or something since we took them as cuts. The girls, for the most part, are getting plenty big enough. We got the nets down to try to build a somewhat even canopy before the flip. Going to up the PPMs on the water a bit, and a slight bump in the PPFD too.

The Real Sours: These girls are the biggest of the bunch. They also seem to be the ones that work best in our system. Got some fat 7 finger fan leaves coming out. Got some great before and after shots from the affects of the net lol.

Alright, so this will be a bigger post than most.

Finally got some pictures of the finished product from the last run.

Grape Gas: Only ended up with about 2oz off the plant. Nugs were decent, think a stronger light would have yielded more but the smoke is amazing and the terps are insane. Grape cream soda and gas. Something pungent in the back too.

Donny Burger: Man what a grow for her this was. Yielded about 1.5lbs off all four plants. We had about another 1/3lb of smalls and shake we are going to press out, or try to press out lol. Terps are familiar, it's GMO crossed a bunch of times, so many of those same terps, but on steroids. Smoke is great, euphoric high that settles into a nice stoned feeling.

Jelly Breath: They actually came out well, just didn't yield much. Dense nugs, but the calix to leaf ratio was a little off. Would have liked to have more calix, but get what you can. Terps are cheese and garlic, smoke is good, high is very stony with good munchies. Got about 1/2lb off the tent.

Alright, and in other good news it's 1F!

We've been keeping them under the net for the last week. We did a bit more tucking here and there, but they are getting too big. Upped the PPFD to around 500~ for most tents. This should double the DLI. It's been about 9 Weeks to the day since we took the cuts. So 5-7 weeks of veg? Anyways...

Apples and Banana's: Girls are looking great. Tents sitting at about 500PPFD across the canopy. They tend to throw some really big fan leaves. We're going to leave them till day 21 for now. In the future we might clean things up a bit.,
C0B37968-F00F-4E53-B42B-426AD4BC7D66.jpeg

Durban Poison and 1 Glitter Bomb: Front right of the tent is the glitter bomb. She's a big girl, with a ton of shoots that are growing well. The other three are the durban poison. My wife thinks the Apples and Bananas are doing better, I think her tent is doing better. Either way they are happy as all hell.

Real Sour: These girls are going to be fucking huuuuge. Like so huge. Excited to see how they turn out. This tents likely going to cause problems with their size lol.

In other news we took cuts 2 weeks ago for the next run and transplanted them. 8 Trop Cherry and 4 Dante's Inferno. Have really high expectations for this run. It's been warmer in the bay and that's been good for growing. Keeping the RH @70% and upped the PPM's to about 1050.

So it's been a minute. Life got busy, but the grow's been chilling. We did some cleaning up today, got about half the plants. We'll get the rest over the next day or so.

Real Sours: These girls are monsters. The stretch is on and they're adding inches on every day. Thankfully we got the nets in earlier and have been able to keep things mostly in check. If these girls were upright they'd be over 7 feet tall easy. They started budding up at day 8. Usually a good sign when the buds start that early.

Durban Poison and a Glitter Bomb: The Durban Poison's are doing super well. They have strong lateral branching and are filling in the tent well. The lone Glitter Bomb is putting on a show. Couple of tops have some solid buds for two weeks in.

Apple's and Banana's: The back two have been cleaned up but the front two not so much. They are filling out the tent nicely, have a few holes here and there, but with 1 more week of stretch left, we're hopeful it will fill out.
F72DA01F-B918-4763-845D-5550A9EA136C.jpegEFBAC472-C50E-4978-96F2-1DC7C778C337.jpegAD42C69C-EB22-47CB-8110-FEE2E5E961B2.jpeg

Over all big happy with how things are going right now. Big bright green growth, and excellent budding across all tents. Due to the size of the plants, we are watering daily. Currently they are getting 2.5L a day with about 10%~ run off. Ideally we'd want less run off, but we have to water run off to ensure full saturation because...they're drinking their pots dry over night. We're going to have to figure out something before mid flower because they're going to require more than 1 watering during their light stage once we hit week 4+ it looks like. We've got the lights about 18~inches off the canopy. The average is about 650~PPFD right now. Plants are loving it. Temps have been perfect as well. We also added purpinator into the water at .2ml/gal. Pretty small dose, but enough to bump the PPM up about 50~

So it's the start of week 3, and here's to hoping most of the stretching is done. We've been tucking, snipping and clipping our way to a semi decently even canopy. Getting better at having an even canopy, just a skill issue at this point lol.

Real Sours: Yeah, they stretched. We were able to keep it on lock for the most part, just a lot of foliage to clean up. Once we're sure they're done stretching we'll do a sweep for big dumb leaves.

Durban Poisons and the Glitter Bomb: The DP's had a lot of lateral growth, but more focused on her main limbs vs. the Sours which have branching shooting off everywhere. The glitter bomb was like the DP's but had thinner and more branches. What she lacks up in for mass, she is making up with resin. Sheesh, it's only day 21.

Apples and Banana's: These girls throw a giga ton of big dumb fan leaves, everywhere. Last week we cleaned them up a ton, and now they're all back! Shouldn't really complain, since it does seem they are very happy and easily recover from heavy defoliation. Outside that, very happy with this tent, girls have big beautiful buds and are showing solid resin production.

They also have an interesting trait that I've only seen a few other times. The buds have singular large pistils vs. a bunch of smaller ones. Curious to see how this turns out.

Overall super happy with the growth and bud production. The glitter bomb is putting on a show that we're hoping will really be something in a month or so. Watering around 3L a day /w 10% run off. Light is sitting around 650-700 PPFD in most spots across the grow.

At the end of week 3 and things are going great. The glitter bomb is putting on an early show, the frost factor for day 27 is something crazy. We've grown this strain before and the smoke will make even dudes with the craziest tolerance raise an eyebrow, so super hyped to see how it turns out. The Apples & Banana's is bulking up like it's week 6 already. We're assuming this is a good thing but time will tell.

The Real Sours: insert wood/buzz meme bud sites bud sites everywhere. These ladies got buds everywhere. Looking back we didn't cut enough as we should have, but there are still going to be plenty of top sites getting premium light.

The Durban's and the Glitter Bomb: The Durban Poisons are looking great. They have solid resin production, and solid budding. Didn't have as many lateral branches as the glitter bomb, but damn the ones it did have are logs. The Glitter Bomb is really putting on a frosty show. She's leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the group with her frost. The buds are still pretty small right now, but plenty of solid pistil growth means tons of growth to come.

The Apples & Banana's: We were hoping the big single white pistils would mean crazy calyx growth and, so far at least, that seems to be the case. While they are not quite as frosty as the glitter bomb, the sheer size of the calyx already is got us excited. This will be our first time running them, excited to see how it turns out!

Grow is going well, at least to us. Yeah there are some things we could address, and I think we slowly are during this run. All the tents are smashing right now and we are excited as fuck to get to the later weeks of flower. Opening the tents every day is like christmas. Feel like a damn kid again. The two strains that seem to really be standing out right now are both CLTVTD cuts. The Sour Diesel is a cut from a dude on the other forum. Think the actual name is The Real Sour X Grape Cream Cake and yeah I'm not saying that nonsense every time. Should perform well, but late flower will show. We've run it once in the past, and needless to say it didn't go as well as this run, but it still produced some fire bud, so.... The Durbans are random cuts. We've run in the past, but it was a medicore run, to say the least. She did produce, so assuming we do are part, pretty sure she'll do hers.
