Leetdood's growing struggles

[leetdood]

As24 is extremely potent and pleasant but also, so far, the vibe in my head is, I guess, this is great but you know what would be even more great? A chem cut like d, Corey, or even gmo.

It comes out like GMO&Cream on steroids and is great, that's great, but it's not enough. Needs to be played with to really bring those qualities out and not just taste and smoke like a worked Chem for production. It's maybe 8/10 or more but it's just, not enough. Let's see how this run goes, it might blow my mind.

As a plant it really throws down by the way so don't take that as me slamming the plant. I just have really high standards for the head stash smoke and I'm trying to figure out how to, you know, raise the bar. Both working on myself but also these cultivars.

One thought was, I'm getting a blue power pack, I believe ix2, for my birthday about 4 months from now. Obviously any plans to pop seeds and so forth come after cleaning my garden up. But I was thinking stuff like

Sherb x blue power
Anb x blue power
As24 x blue power

Sin city basically said its my gear to do whatever with if I pay for it. But at the same time I don't wanna like, necessarily create redundant work crossing over with someone else. I can make it and hunt it myself, but if I don't wanna step on someone toes or make a similar cross (kind of like reinventing the wheel?) I would rather just look for something that they haven't done. Or make sure it's something I really would want to hunt personally instead of passing out.

So sherb and as24 haven't been done, but anb, underdog, tahoe (sort of) have been done, so the anb would probably be for myself, and I'd wanna do something like, Corey or chem 4 or irene. Go a direction where sin city didn't.

Obviously this is thinking far ahead but as24 bleeds out vigor and robustness. Blue power is (socal master x sour dubb) x (the white x blue moonshine) so it comes out really amazing but as24 would possibly give it like, that Usain Bolt energy. Like a muscle car.

Also only 29 days left to the strawberry gary harvest window, thank jeebus. I'm gonna be running low on weed I don't know how long from now. Harvesting both tents will produce a ton of medicine, maybe hopefully a year's worth, for the downtime I need to clean everything and make sure everything is bug free and to streamline my processes. Especially getting the stuff for routine ipm of over a hundred plants continuously. These slowdowns are not what I want for myself or accomplishing my dreams. I am doing my best and proud of myself but that is because I hope to continue and do much better.

Struggling to balance heat and humidity.

Day 38 photo dump.

Sherb, sherb, gmo, hiro4 (day 35f), whole tent

Watered gmox2 got 3.6 ec runoff

Great photos my friend!
The plants look great!
How did the predatory mites do? The new leaves have no damage, they are healthy.
How long does it take?

 

[leetdood]

There are still bugs unfortunately

But the predators take 2-3 weeks to knock down the population, and continue if humiditiy is maintained.

I'm really proud of my pic of HiRo#4, look at how many heads!!

 

[leetdood]

To make an easy and clear example, I've zoomed on a leaf

This is only day 35 flower on a 70-77 day flowering phenotype. (Chemovar?)

Please do not only note the complete coverage, but the fact that there are an exceptional number of properly shaped gland heads. For ice extraction, these trichome heads are essentially the final product. Therefore, size and count matters immensely. There are people counting the number of heads in a square foot or square inch.

So I am extremely impressed and hope to see mind blowing results from Money OG.

Not only that, but I mentioned this plant seemingly has no ceiling, is extremely loud, has complex layered smells, dank ones, and smokes me disabled. So this is why I am so focused on highway robbery #4 at times, because I know there's something special about this lady. I just need to get her genetics to open up and bloom with the right combination.

 

[leetdood]

To give a honest idea of my standards,

All these plants are truly amazing in their respective ways
But it's not good enough...
Irene amazing? Hard to grow. Chemd amazing? Hard to grow.
Corey amazing? Reliable daytime meds, not hard to grow, but it's a 9/10 there's still better. Like how Sherb makes you feel like it's your best friend, Corey needs more complexity to it, and I am not criticizing Corey! Corey is a great great great plant!

But I know there is better

I smoked sour, I smoked jack, I smoked mystery skunk,

If you find the legendary pheno and grow it just right, it will melt your face off no questions asked and keep you smacking on it. I also don't accept that it has to be difficult to grow.

So like half life 2, I want to "Raise The Bar" and not settle for flowering out amazing plants day in and out. I want to find the leading micron of the leading edge of a masamune blade. Or to even say, out there is a swordsmith who said,

"I can do better than the legend Masamune, not because I believe I am better, but because I believe there is more work to be done"

Day 39 flower pics. 3x Not HP13 closeups and Strawberry Gary. Trying to maintain 50% humidity for soil predators to work.
Watered sherbx2, cake, and strawberry Gary with 2.0 ec feed.
All came out about 3.0 to 3.0 ec runoff. Except strawberry gary at 2.8 ec I think it needs the same feed as as24.
Watered as24 with 2.4-25 ec feed. Runoff hit 3.6 ec like my friend said it should.
