I have 7 clones that have rooted one was in one of the bases for a month not only did it grow roots but it started to flower. Its growing a lot slower than the rest but it has to reveg too. The rest were transplanted from a little seed starter tray into solo cups a few days ago.

Grower Comments: This plant has a wonderful structure. I couldnt not be happier with the stacking they are doing, considering all the weirdness i delt with starting the plants under 12/12, flipping to 16/8, then back to 12/12. I love my stink factory!

Number of days from flower 45
Lights on temp/rh around mid 80s with lights on, RH between 45-50%
Watering/feeding frequency is every 3 days now.
Comments: Everything is still going good. The limbs are getting heavy and sticky. The colas are filling out nicely also. The days are getting warmer and so is the room. I think it’s safe to remove the heater. I’ve ran the ac a couple times to cool stuff off. I got a 6” ACI carbon filter also and it did the trick. Good luck y’all!
Well I was at the in-laws for Easter. Could not get the pics till today.
Number of seeds dropped: 10/10. Still have all 10
Number of female plants:. 6 females, 4 males. Not too shabby.
Number of days from sprout: 105 days
Number of days from 12/12: 65
Lights on temp/rh: all the plants are permanently moved to the greenhouse as of 65 days ago. Temp on cloudy days stay around 70. On the sunny days hits 100 deg f. Rh during the day varies from 10% in sun to 60% on rainy/cloudy days this week.
The night temps have been averaging 37 deg outside the greenhouse at night this week. 42 low inside.
The RH spikes when it’s cool to 85%.
Light Schedule/Current Wattage: 100% solar radiation from our lovely sun. . There is no supplemental lighting.
13hours and 55 sunlight / 11 hours and 5 min dark. Days are getting longer. Reveg right around the corner and on schedule. Clip buds and seeds, plant in beds, and harvest sinsemilla in the fall.
Watering/feeding frequency: watering only once or twice a week. .fish chit aquarium water. Still sipping.
Nutrients: none, no commercial feeds. No commercial fertilizers or soil mixes.
Repotted with coffee grounds, rotten leaves, a half cup of urine soaked char, and raised bed filler soil from my 18 yr old raised beds nurtured with organic living soil. No commercial mixes used. Just the sunshine mix in the original 4” starter pots for seedlings.
The waterings are from aquarium water with the sponge filter squeezed out in it. Has to add nutrients because it looks like chocolate milk. Rich Axolotl and Cory cat feces. Fish chit, but the real chit,
Grower comments
Some of the females have these lovely light purple flowers. With how purple the petioles on all 4 males looked, I would suspect that cool fall temps would bring out the color palette on these beautiful plants more than the average strain. In the last week I had 2 nights that got down to freezing, resulting in a morning frost. The tank kept them warm just above freezing, but they were definitely cold tested. Thanks again for such a lovely gift.
We got some rainy days which held up some of the party pollen. We are schedule for sun the next few days. Going to let the males go longer until then. Then uppot and back to the greenhouse until seeds are harvested in 6 weeks. Happy growing and thanks for looking.
With the rain was a good real world test of this strain. What I mean is, rain, fish tank greenhouse, sun, = mold on a lot of lesser strains. The fact these dense ladies held back the moldy plagues is a good sign. I have tested hundreds of pedigree strains this way over the years. A lot do not pass.

Mites finally seem to be slowing down, which I am delighted to report. I can’t keep the pH regulated in my res so I may get the florakleen and give a deep scrub, hopefully it doesn’t continue to drop so aggressively. Had to tie one of the girls up a little. Lowered light intensity and feed strength.
Was able to visit the girl’s for this weeks dirty lil peep show…

Grower comments:
Went in and defoliated 3 of the plants and a little on the 4th plant which is the one I didn’t train at all. Filled a 5gal bucker(without compressing it down). I wanted to open up some of the canopy for lower buds and the plants were in need of some airflow. They look a bit ugly right now but I’m sure will fill out color wise in a few days. I also increased wattage to 640w, ~+100w. Also moved the fans a bit to angle down etc hitting more of the canopy. Now the colas move about from the air.
I also did a fresh res change but this time I only pH’d to 5.8-5.9 instead of 6-6.2. Wanted to see if that perked them up at all and was noticing some things here and there on the leaves.
The buds aroma has really been developing a lot more recently. Getting a very strong berry/citrus aroma especially on your fingers after touching. Drool city!
Patiently waiting for that chop in a few more weeks.

At 8 weeks of flower these are ready. The samples have been full on couch lock and at times a bit narcotic. I’ll be chopping at least one today.
As everyone progresses towards harvest during the next couple weeks I’d like to say, what a long strange trip it’s been watching these classic beauties progress from those eager little sprouts to the vibrant, colorful plants we see before us today. It’s a testament to the dedication and passion each of you has brought to this friendly grow-off. We’ve seen the rapid starts, navigated the slow and droopy, and then witnessed that incredible growth that has produced some frosted colorful beauties, a true reflection of the resilience of both the grower and the plant.
It’s inspiring to see such a diverse range of experience in this group, from those of us just starting to the seasoned hands who’ve nurtured countless plants. Everyone has learned and shared valuable insights along the way.
While some of our fellow growers faced unforeseen challenges that led to withdrawal, their enthusiasm and spirit is very much a part of this shared experience and I hope things turn around for future grows.
Ultimately, this was about the shared joy of cultivation, the camaraderie of our community, and the opportunity to witness the unique expressions of this legendary classic under different care and environments.
Here’s to many more successful and enjoyable community grows! I’m looking forward to seeing what y’all grow next time around.

Plugging along. They continue to smell great. I haven’t noticed any further spider mite issues. Lights at about where I’ll leave it till they finish up. But we’re winding down. Middle girl looks about done, I’ll scope more of her tomorrow and see.

Comments: I clipped a stem with a bad bud on the end. Looked like bud rot inside. I haven’t seen any more so far. I also have some “leaf” issues going on with the same plant. I need to get some Captain Jack’s for a suspected thrip issue. Other than that this has been a pretty trouble free grow so far. I believe they are getting close also. Good luck y’all!
