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.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.

Rest of the tent

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.

The rails on these girls never stops amazing us.

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.

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.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.
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.My wife and I also approach the grows as a team effort.

Spartangrown has grown it and uses it in a cross he made called: Spartans Puke. MBGS fame57F
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.
