"I know it sounds ridiculous, but I haven't quite got over the miracle that you plant things, and they do sprout up." ~ Natasha Little Picked one seedling from each strain, and put them in the grow tent. Strain 1: Blue Dream by Seed Supreme The Blue Dream plant grew the most weed of all: 6.7 oz by itself. A monster yielder. Germination: Excellent - All 3 seeds sprouted quickly, and grew faster than most other seedlings.
Plant Growth: Big, Tall, Fast, and Forgiving - Tall, fast-growing plant. Would love to grow by itself.
- Loves lots of nutrients (about proportional to how big it grows and how fat the buds)
- Prefers overwatering vs underwatering. Could be
a good choice for beginners who may accidentally overwater plants.
- Beginner friendly overall - Can thrive with a surprising amount of heat, light, and mistakes.
Bud Development: Long, fat "colas" - Pleasant weed smell, not skunky, not funky, just like "Mmmmmm, now that's good weed" kind of scent
- Grows long solid "colas" as opposed to smaller nuggets. They were so big I worried about bud rot, but they didn't get a touch even when the humidity got too high due to weather. This seems to be a mold-resistant strain that might be a good
choice to get solid yields in a humid environment.
- Good density, easy to break up, smokes well.
Yields: Monster Sized! - Absolutely INSANE yields. It's unusual to get so many ounces from a plant that had so little space to itself in the back corner of a crowded tent.
Grower Notes: - Grows fast and gets big.
- Don't skimp on nutrients, especially when buds look like they're getting bigger every day.
- To maximize yield, do basic
training: Make sure to top and train plant to grow flat in the vegetative stage, initiate 12/12 when it's half the final size, and then try to leave alone except for holding up buds and strategic defoliation.
- Overall, I found this to be a plant that mostly takes care of itself in the flowering stage. Grows the perfect amount of leaves per branch without needing much from you.
So many huge, hefty Blue Dream buds! Strain 2: Candy Games #38 by Happy Valley Genetics The Candy Games #38 plant was my favorite plant to look at this grow. Germination: Good - All 3 seeds sprouted and seedlings grew well.
Plant Growth: Expect lots of flowering "stretch" - Grew well and as expected in the vegetative stage.
- Tallish plant, with lots of stretch after initiating 12/12.
- Saw lots of space between nodes after stretching, but the plant filled those branches with
nugs.
After 12/12, stretched a lot with a lot of space between nodes. Bud Development: Big nuggets - Buds don't grow as "colas". They grow like little golf balls.
- Some of the prettiest buds I've seen in a while.
- Beautiful dark color with purple highlights to buds.
- Relatively light scent that smells great. Might be a good choice for a stealth grow since it's more mild and doesn't have a strong "weed" smell.
- Grow this for
magnificent bud appearance and a beautiful spot of color in your grow tent.
The buds all got chunky Yields: Good - Good yields of excellent bud quality.
Grower Notes: - Beginner friendly, very forgiving.
- Get ready to be dazzled by a pretty plant!
- You'll want to take lots of pictures! (here's a cool new magnifier that attaches to your phone, which I found to help take a closer look at these buds)
Candy Games #38 buds on harvest day. I felt captivated. Candy Games #38 made lots of fat, beautiful cannabis buds. Round and fat like golf balls.

Your Plants Could Be Fine If You Ignored Them This Week
|
|
If you do the right stuff first, you can ignore your cannabis plants for up to a week at a time. Of course, you should look at your plants every day if you can. But sometimes life gets busy. Mainly, you need to be able to automate watering. That's the thing you need to provide most often for plants. Standard auto-watering pot bases can give plants water for up to about a week, when used correctly.
|
You can leave plants for up to 2 weeks in a pinch with auto-watering drip kits, though they should be set up
and tested ahead of time! Edible of the Week: Weed Gummies! If you know how to make cannabis tinctures and hash oil, you can turn almost any regular food into a weed edible. Of all the edibles I’ve tried, my favorite is the cannabis gummy. Why? Weed gummies are small, easy to eat, don’t make a mess, and can be made in
countless flavors. Since they're made using hash oil, you can finetune their potency to be insanely high, delicately subtle, or anywhere in between. Did you know? Tools like the Magical Butter Machine can take a lot of the work out of making gummies.

📸 Weekly Spotlight:
Epic Buds from Germany!

Hello 420. This is my second attempt with photoperiod strains, and my first time using the organic fertilizer TA Terra Aquatica Pro, and I’m extremely satisfied with it.
My ladies flipped on October 24, and without much stretch, they’re now at four weeks of true swelling. And there’s still more to
come.
The grow is 2× Bruce Banner, 2× topped and trained with LST; plus 2× Fast Haze and 1× Express Gelato using mainlining. I’ll add that this is the first time I’ve run them this way. I’ve only done SCROG once before.
Respect,
Kolober {translated from original German}
