A Cornucopia of Delightful Cannabis Cultivars

@Pipecarver hey that was me on Reddit that you asked that question yesterday.. biff bodysuit man is my alter ego 🤣
I thought so, I looked at your profile. I knew I'd seen your image here. No veg growing seems to be an interesting grow style. I don't know how you guys get enough mass from sprouts but it looks like it works well. I was thinking far reds would help you develop larger plants. I have 9 at about 2 weeks I just turned the reds on for 15 min at lights out. I'll do that for 1 week to bump them a bit in size then shut them off again because 1 week at a time is enough to stretch them and enlarge their leaves. I'm thinking for Auto's and no veg growing far reds could be used through the grow at lights out....Just a thought.

I’m letting them go about 10 days before flipping but only because I have 42 of them in the tent. When I run less plants I let them veg at least a month this current grow is new to me never grew this many at a time so I’m just scared to flip too late and have to deal with 42 plants
 
I was planning on letting this last auto go another week or two but I found a few nanners today so I’m not gonna take any chances I’m gonna skip a watering and let the pot dry out overnight then chop tomorrow

The first auto finished drying on Friday and has been sitting in turkey bags since. Trimmed up some buds this afternoon and they smell fantastic like a earthy tropical cheese smell gonna resist the urge to vape some and gonna let it go a few weeksIMG_4917.jpegIMG_4918.jpegIMG_4920.jpeg

Here is a pic of the best smelling plant I’ve ever grown. It’s a lemon wookie v1 from bodhi seeds that was worked to f3 by one of my buddies and he raved about the line for months and I can see why now. It’s got this absolutely distinct lavender smell mixed with gas it’s the most unique smell and makes me wish I grew 12 of them. Gonna have to grow the rest of these in the near future and do a small pheno hunt

finished trimming the rest of the smallest auto. Trimmed almost 3oz in less than 40 minutes. I highly recommend the cannabrush to anyone that hates trimming it’s helped make trimming such a breeze and makes it so much more enjoyable.. quick pic of the veg tent too, so far we got Umeboshi 11/12, jabbas stash 12/12, garlic mints lavender lemonaid 8/13 and 2/5 so far on the chem 91 sour bubble for a total of 33/42. Gonna flip these soon

Kind of feel like a proud father looking through the maternity room window~!
" yea they're all mine~!" 😛
 
Lavender f3 and jabbas stash f2 at day 41F. Lavender smells like lavender I mean really like lavender I have a little vial of lavender essential oil and this plant smells like a mix of that oil with a pungent lemony gas mixed in perfectly. The jabbas both smell earthy and funky with the nicest one giving off a faint chocolate mocha smell mixed with the earthy spicy kush I’m excited to see what I get from the 10 jabbas that are approaching the end of week 1 since the light flip in the 3x3. Not sure how I wanna handle the 30 in the 3x3 they’re getting big really quick I’m hoping they show sex in the next week so I can transplant into 1/2 gal pots I don’t like these solo cups too flimsy

Amazing how fast they grow in just a few days. The taller ones in the back are at day 18 the middle ones are day 17 and the 3 chems in the front are at day 10 light was flipped about 7 days ago

I always tell myself I have enough seeds and then I see something I can’t resist. Got lucky and scored a pack of the supernatural selections 026 a limited bodhi release that sells out in minutes sometimes seconds. Excited to reproduce this pack in the spring

Plants are looking great. 👍

I still need to check out if a light grid defuser will work for my setup. It’s a tad under 3’x3’ washing machine tray I want it for. So a 2’x4’ grid will need cutting and thought.

Thanks bud this next one coming up in the smaller tent is getting transferred to the flower tent as soon as the 3 are done in there then another 40 are getting popped for the 3x3
 
About a week away from harvesting the 3 in the 4x4. The 16 fems in the 3x3 will be moved into the 4x4 next Sunday. Started the next batch with 12 mandarin orange spice. Once the 16 are out of the 3x3 I’m gonna plant a pack of space monkey and soul mate and the 4 seeds I have left from the moms lemon cream pie pack from last year

Since life is short and my New Year’s resolution was to try new things I just threw 2 more packs in water so it’s gonna be tight in here until I can move the 16 big girls

Thank you this is new to me for 4 years I ran 4-6 larger plants per run and a friend talked me into doing 3 full packs at a time then transferring to flower then then immediately popping 3 more packs to try to grow perpetually. It’s so much different and more time consuming
It’s worth the trouble if you want to stock up and have jars in reserve. Let’s you take a break down the road if you want as well.
 
Smallest Jabba harvested. Planted the soul mate and dragons milk and put them in the 4x4 for now until I harvest the taller Jabba this weekend and have more room in the 4x4 then I’ll be moving the large ones into the 4x4 and moving the seedlings back into the 3x3 with the mandarin orange spice plants. So far I got 9 out of 12 on the mandarin orange spice.

I can easily see what you mean with how much work is involved with perpetual growing like you said. One thing is for sure, you have some very healthy girls at all levels of growth

Killin it bro!

And I'm over here rubbing my hands, proud with just two out of two healthy plants 😂

The two was a compromise with my wife from zero, so at least I got two lol

Thanks bud it’s been a wild experience completely out of my comfort zone on this grow
 
I harvested Jabba #2 this morning and moved 15 of the 16 plants into the 4x4 then moved the seedlings back into the 3x3. Getting pretty decent germ rates on these seedlings it’s only been a day since the 25 seeds were planted and over half have popped already. Once the lavender is done hopefully in a week I’m gonna hook up the auto water system to the 8 plants in the back of the 4x4 so I’ll only have to hand water 8 in the front and not 16 plants which would really suck.

Lavender plant taking forever. Today is day 62 I’m hoping she’s ready by next weekend. The umeboshi look like they’re the fastest to develop flowers compared to the others but they’re all light feeders so I gotta take it easy on these

I got 10/12 for the mandarin orange spice, 10/12 for the soulmate and only 4/12 on the dragons milk so I germinated 8 beans from this cherry queen f2 seeds I received from someone in the bodhi repro group, this one is the supernatural selections #5 it’s fat cherry afghani x old mother ghani. So far 2 of the 8 have popped soil

So far this is my favorite jabbas stash pheno that I’ve found. This is the pheno that I’m gonna hunt and find a similar male and female to take these seeds to f3. Dense, frosty, and intoxicating gassy chocolate smell with a balanced buzz that settles into couchlock If over consumed.

Got 60g from Jabba 1 and 73 g from Jabba 2, not bad for small plants with minimal veg time if I can conisistently pull 2 oz per plant I’ll be happy with 16 plants and an average of 32 oz per run. Trimmed up and sealed in grove bags and placed into the basement where they will sit until late April. Lavender should be done drying next Monday - Wednesday, that’s the one I’m looking forward to smoking the most out of the 3 and the other 2 are no slouches this lavender is a special plant IMG_5200.jpegIMG_5209.jpeg
