Howdy Fam, I'm late getting going, but like Federline says, "Life comes at you fast". When I requested the beans I was looking at buying two-dot-something-acres of raw land in remote Northern California to farm hard. Summer is over & I'm back in a non med state, staying with a sick family member indefinitely, growing in a tent in my bedroom

Beans made it to California, then they made it thru 3 timezones, 2 traffic stops & one search which involved leaving a pound of fresh popcornliscious trim in the high desert & a heads up from the trooper that "...That's a felony in Utah...". Got a sweatshirt in Utah. 11 seeds in the package & they look very ripe & small & darkish. 1 crushed one. I'll be germing them within the week, but wanted to check in & confirm the beans made it & I'm gonna run em.

Howdy Jshoos, thanks for stoppin by I'm good, Momma caught a touch of the tripple negative breast cancer, though :( Had her surgery in Sept. She's upbeat & ready for the rest of the chemo (started last week), & is getting MAJOR relief from nausea & general shittieness from some 6:1 Valentine X CBD butter I made. I had a world class turd of a summer, but I'm blessed to have walked with ~6oz of Valentine X flowers for her. She took her first dose of thc butter ~30 min ago & I'm sorta 'babysitting'. She hasn't smoked in almost 40 years lol.

Ok, dropped the 10 beans today. direct sow into beercups full of homemade peat/coco/compost/perlite/ammendments soil that I cut with a bunch of perlite. Watered in with roots excellurator & 1/2tsp gal earthjuice catalyst to adjust ph. I'll update when they start poppin up.

Beans started poking thru ~3 days after planting. Something like 4 the first day, 3 the next day & 2 more the following day. 9 for 10, with hope still holding on the 10th. I put the unpopped cup up on top of the t-5 lighting my tent. Once these grow/stretch a bit, I'll be filling up the beer cups with soil. 1 weakish looking one that should make it. I've been jamming her up against a t-5 bulb for a few minutes here and there every day.



Not really sure if I'll flower them from seed or take cuttings, but we'll figgure all that out before too long

Lil update, filled up the cups with soil & watered in with some mosquito dunk/ful humix/epsomsalt water last night. The 10th bean never popped & looking like I have 2 weirdos in the bunch. Pix.










Gonna build a lil tub to jam some CFL's on these over the weekend. As it is, they are the bastard children under a canopy hogging an 8 bulb t-5.

Looking good barletta, should be some winners in here!

Best of luck!

Peace

Thanks, Piff They were very neglected & stretched like crazy (seedling stretch for light not flower stretch lol) while I was focused prepping my current flower round. Still have all 9 alive. 1 of the 2 mutants is growing out of it's funk ok & the other looks like it's trying. The rest of the plants seem alive & normal, if under developed for being a month or 2 old lol. I hope to be transplanting into 1/2gal B&W bags o soil within the next few days. Once transplanted they will go under a t-5. I'll get pics up after I put in some work. Tentatively looking to flower starting ~the first of the year.

Ok, FINALLY got out of those beercups tonight. Here's a pic from the last temporary home taken 10 days ago. They went from the shade on the floor of a tent vegging a hazyscrog to the luxury of a rubbermaid tub with an 18w cfl & pandafilm.


Today they got repotted into a depot cheapo package (peat, perlite, lime, Jobe's flowering, final mix contains appx 30% leftover peat/coco/compost soil w/goodies), right down to the #1 nursery pots. Everybody coming around, including both runts, but they are easy to abuse as sloppy as I've let them get.






New temporary home with some hazy friends. Thinking I may flip all of these plants in a week-10 days together & put any TK/LC females into 3 gallon smarties of soil. Maybe I veg out monsters & just run clones, who knows :p

[barletta]

2 weeks under the t-5 (albeit too far away). 5 females & 3 males for sure, the one that was a fused mutant is a little slower but is fully healthy now & looking male.




Looks like the only real growth differences are in the branchieness. Looks like they are all indy dom with dark fat leaves & tight (relative to mango haze & lanina) internodes. They collectively have a deep chemmy skunky funk. Couple of the not-branchy ones first.




Couple of the branchy ones

[barletta]

Soaked them in today with some fish hydrolysate, EJ catalyst, GH armor Si, & ful-power. Should be a lil growth spurt next few days, they haven;t really been soakedsoaked yet.
