Grump's Kitchen Sink Grow 🌱

[GrumpAzz]

Still stretching man.. what the fudge

At this rate, I'll have clones ready before these bitches are even thinking about finishing. 6 weeks in and still growing at least an inch a day.

No signs of bulking up...

 

[Stoneyluv]

still growing vertical? wtf?!? are they still growing just single blades? or did any of them at least try for a three blade?

 

[Observer]

Well I think they've finally stopping stretching. Tomorrow starts week 6.

Strangest nugs I've seen to date. Nearly every budsite has this weird round leaf cupping the node. Super strange and I can only hope they start to fatten up and pack on some weight.

Those are fucked, lookin', respectfully, lol.

Yeah man. Still going up and still throwing singles. Still got those weird Frankenstein nugs. It's an experiment at this point. I'd put seedlings in there if I wasn't so damn curious.

Those are fucked, lookin', respectfully, lol.

Absolutely
I'll keep running them just because they're in there and I don't have replacement clones yet, but i'm not trimming shit if this is how they wanna finish. I'll smash every bit of it in the press.

 

[GrumpAzz]

So these fuckers are reminiscent of my Dalato grow from a while back. The grow that blew the top off of my tent...

Ended up clearing out 2 plants from that run.

I'll flower these punks for 16 weeks if I have to..

Yea, I'd say stress from the defol. If the light mishap caused it I figure it would of grown back out of it.

Or/ those genes didn't like that stripping stress

 

[GrumpAzz]

From that Dalato grow.

I didn't see a finished nug in that thread but I found one on the camera reel. I remember it being really good bud but it wasn't pretty. Didn't require much trimming if I remember correctly.

I'm chalking this up to genetics. I found some 10 year old threads calling this sort of thing "bolting".

It's happened to me too, Normal growing plants, then go into flower and start getting single bladed leafs and bud structure develops piss poorly, whether that was a combo of me/env+genes or just....well I guess bad genes cause they should handle leafs being removed when everything else is correct, in my experience.

Its not like their being monster cropped levels of stress.

Just brainstorming.

 

[GrumpAzz]

I think we're finally starting to see some buds forming up. They're looking a lot less leggy and they appear to be starting to stack.


Judging my harvest window might be a pain in the ass with these weird fuckers.
Tons of cotton balls in there so it's looking like trim jail will be an extended sentence...


That back right grew a little funky as it found it's share of the light.


As usual.. roots are looking delicious.

That's wild man!
Only time I've seen anything even close to what you have is outdoor plants that were stripped of leaves by hail when they had cotton ball flowers. They lived but developed much the same way yours are here but still got very frosty and was good smoke.
Only difference may have been the stretch in mine was like a vine. Very ropey and almost limp and weak until they firmed up weeks later after the hail storm

These are long and tall and still growing. I've seen this growth only once before in my 4 years.

At this point they get no special treatment. I've been reducing the light and nutes. Here in a week or so i''ll start swapping the reds and blues. I unplugged the heater to save juice. They're not gonna get any more than RO once this top-off is empty. Basically... they're on their own.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Well as fucked as they decided to grow... I think they may finally be starting to stack. Things are getting tighter anyway.

It's a jungle in there...


Messed up structure but they're sticky and frosty as hell...


Perfect nose on these girls and it's exactly what I was after on that side of things. Nasty dirty dish towel terps. Definitely unique. I've only really encountered it here with the Kitchen Sink. It's GMO mom might have something to do with the funk.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Creeping up on the start of week 9. I can't tell, going off of structure, whether or not these bitches will be done by the end of week 10 or not.

They do seem to be done stretching out every damn stem on the plants. The tips finally appear to be somewhat "nuglike". Still plenty of white hairs though


I've stopped pampering them... I did tie one up that decided to fall over. That's what it gets for growing so damn tall and spindly. It's absolutely not an intensity issue as I've got multiple bleached tops.

No heater on in the tent. Temps run between 72 and 76 degrees. Humidifier is off too, running between 35-50% rH. Light Intensity has been dropped way down. It's on the recommended "finishing" spectrum with a little extra blue. 20r:50w:75 blue at the moment. I'll drop some more red out of the spectrum next week and finish mostly blue and with some white. Nutes are around 670-680ppm at 6.3 ph. Top-off has been getting refilled with RO only and is diluted down to 100ppm. They won't be getting any more than they have available right now and hopefully we see closer to 4 or 500 by the end of it.

They are drinking a ton less, which is another reason I assume they're on their way to the finish line. It won't be a fun trim but it does seem to be a heavy yielding harvest. Buds are sticky-trap sticky and the smell is off the chain, though, so I'm not terribly disappointed.

Edit to add: what a crappy out of focus picture

 

[Bandit420]

Saw this yesterday on Leafly and made me think of your grow here.
This was from a list of new found genetics people will be working with in 2026



Another, unrelated to yours but interesting IMO, is a new landrace out of Ethiopia.
Looks like something from a 1979 High Times centerfold but I'd like to work with her in a controlled environment indoors and see what happens

 

[GrumpAzz]

I'd toss them and put the clones in

Not getting tossed for sure.

They'll be done and dry by the time I have well-rooted clones that are ready. I'm hoping to get down there and take a bunch of cuttings here in the next couple hours.

These Kitchen Sink plants will do the job. It's just gonna be a pain to trim it all.

Toss this frosty shit??

Yea I wrote that before I saw the updated post, why I deleted it.


They are starting to look good now

Not cool...

I found this before leaving for work. Looks like 10+ gallons on the basement floor. I couldn't dig into it before leaving for work so I directed the leak towards my sump pump.

Anybody know what's going on here? It's leaking directly out of the that fitting. Can I tear it apart and fix something or did the diaphragm spring a leak and she's toast?

 

[steamroller]

Look to see if a connection is loose.
That is your pump for the RO correct?
Very high pressure by plumbing standards.
I got my pump from BRS.

1/4" 8800 Booster Pump

Add the Aquatec 8800 Booster pump to your reverse osmosis unit if you have low water pressure in your house or want to get better performance out of your system. This booster pumps requires a transformer which is sold separately. If your RO system has an auto shut off kit or you are planning on...

Not sure if you are 1/4 inch?

Same brand but mine is the 6800. I was really hoping to fix it since the thing is only a year old...

It's not coming from the water lines. It's coming directly out of that electrical connection... that don't seem right

 

[steamroller]

I would definitely take it apart and see what is up inside.
Do you have a pre filter before the pump?
They are not necessary but if you find debris in the housing I would consider one.
Quick search did not find a repair kit for the 6800 or 8800.

Sounds like something busted inside, and that's the way out, that pump might be toast.

Didn't know or think one could just easily repair them since the pressures? But idk I'm not a pump expert lol.

I wanted to open mine up and look at it, but don't wanna fuck it.

Yeah I'll have to tear it apart when I get home... it still works but it leaks whether running or not.

The pressure is the same?

 

[steamroller]

My thought on take it apart is there are screws around the top where the impeller is and likely a gasket that is the culprit.
Beyond that I don't know.
I would flip it if possible and see if you can keep the drip off the electronics part of the pump.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Yeah the output pressure hasn't changed.

Good thinking. Worth a shot.
I agree that it's likely a gasket on the inlet side. Hate to buy another one if they only last a year. Prefilter might extend it's lifespan I suppose.

 

[steamroller]

I have had the same for over 7-8 years.
When I was breeding fish it ran 24/7.
No prefilter I am on municipal water.
I wasn't sure if you are on a well or municipal.

I'm on a well and it's after my softener.

 

[steamroller]

I would hope that maybe just tightening the screws on top may help.
I know mine vibrated like crazy when running.
I mounted mine on the dampening feet and could always see it vibrating like crazy when running.

I didn’t even mess with it. I saw my redirection of the leak was still working out so I'll put it off until tonight or tomorrow while my daughter is with my parents. Kiddos don't leave much time for tinkering...

Yeah it vibrates like crazy. Every so often I have to pull the 1/4 inch line feeding it off of a copper water line. That rattles clear throughout the house. It gradually works it's way back every week or two and drives the wife nuts if it starts up while I'm at work

 

[GrumpAzz]

These weird fuckers are coming down tomorrow. A bunch of nugs have sprouted nanners... see bottom left in this first pic.


Tons of nugs... they're just stupid. Trimming won't be fun. The bowl trimmer would shred these little buggers.

And man you can't beat RA prices. You can get most of that stuff for barely over $1/seed.

I'm excited about that Carbon Crusher. "Legendary Unknown Strain" sounds fun.

Carbon Crusher is
Zero Gravity x PLCG.
She fucken reeeeeeeeeeks

If you like Lunch Ticket lmk.
I hold the LM50 clone.
Halitosis, deli meats, fruit, and citrus.

 

[GoodShit97]

Sorry @GrumpAzz
Its Ground Zero x PLCG I think.
Im looking now, I know its a plcg cross and plcg is retarded


Nope I was right the first time, its PLCG x Zero Gravity #23

Oh baby that sounds great. Love some PLCG and I've only heard good things about Zero Gravity. I think I have a GPS pack of it in my stash.

Hell yes. I love the raunchy stuff.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Yeah im really wondering if its not something on your end.
Spectrum, nutrients, or ppfd would be where id start personally, but it could also just be you got some fucken freaky plants, hard telling not knowing lol

Moving this over here since I sent that thread in a different direction...

It's easy for me to assume genetics up until this point because 2 of the last 3 runs were tester beans.

Dantes X Gelato - pulled 2 freaks, left one, one plant kicked ass.

Blueberry Cupcake X Gazzurple - same deals 3 freaks and one banger.

My guzzlers grow went well. 1 freak. 3 finished great.

I'll be running Indigo Sapphire next. 4 clones ready to go in the system as soon as these are chopped and dried.

 

[steamroller]

If all those before were GPS then it still could be genetics.
I would start your 4 clones in your system with the exact same formula you have them in now.
If you are going down to one grow space maybe even move the SF light with them.
Take that last thought with a grain of salt though.
