(Formerly super Chernobyl haze, this pheno has really fleshed her terpene profile out into a full blown sweet, deep grape that leaves a brother in awe... No cheesiness.. No lemon.. Just pure pungently sweet grape, and finally a herb that burns with a touchy, reactive, silky ease like your (Petro's) S.D.. Mad Tester success)

@DonTesla how's the 2.0 mix doing? Could really use an update on it before i proceed with the next chapter.

No burning, fading, or curling.
Perky with lots of vibrant dark green,
lots of sheen @ almost 6 weeks in,
Stretched a bit but I was out of town,
in the future i would like to use alfafa in a timely manner mon, for spacing
and gypsum, more for flavour.
definitely a nice improvement, tho bro
the sativa is looking solid too. lots of coated undergrowth thickening up.
leaf mould is gonna be next level if this is just the 2.0.
And then there's further dialling in with the compost and ewc composition, not to mention strains of our choosing, better lights and bigger pot sizes.. Fuck bro. Excited

These 2 Chernobyl beasts, with 21 tops between the two girls, are doing fairly dank well considering they've only had just one light tea so far, survived a 13 day vacation, and the improved lighting system isn't installed yet. Now with the cooler weather here comes the next round of dialling in..image.jpg

Formerly torn Christian, mad, full of division, not dissin' but now this Rasta's, glad, out of prison, on his mission, with a vision, innovating with precision, serious strains but first, yo, no nurse needed, this a, ventilation revision, with quick lyrical incision, that's it, not missin' but I'm out, gone fishin'.

And after..image.jpg
This is the Vortex cross, (green handle) topped for 8, she's gone right sweet and Grapey, vs musky and cheesy. Hope her stone is just as potent, it was my favourite high last time, so well rounded.

And here's the original runt of the litter with a snapped branch, and therefore topped for just 5, this Chernobyl Bubba, (red handle), has rose up the ranks among her sisters and now stands as the most vibrant girl of all 5

Here's a bit of a close up of her shortest top:image.jpg

now is that dark green or what!? Unedited too

Thick as a finger, mon, this girls got BICEPS on top of triceps for days. Love this view. When I have really good big hoots this is what I see, with eyes closed.

A Chernobyl SLH offshoot, in the 2.0 supersoil, seems very happy considering she's a more finicky and sensitive strain

Shit son, looking real proper in there!
Yes, All ships be sailing forward, bredgren.. Looking forward to dem future refinements more than ever. I'm just starting to cook another batch, want to add gypsum today. What kind of tea does a Don suggest for the 3.0? She has the 9 cups you gave me in her.. And a gallon of horse manure. Was shy on castings, used our own. And if we add alfafa would u suggest cooking it or applying a little tea first week f flower? (Looking to reduce spacing a bit, despite the fact cooler temps should help a bit, average natural temps are now 23* C vs 27*C )

How many gallons you cooking? The amendments i gave you were for 3 cubic feet or roughly 18 gallons and had a cup of alfalfa in it. You could do up a brew to kick start the microbial process with just worm castings and molasses. You could throw some alfalfa in there if you wanted but i would say no more than 0.25% max of your total volume.
I would see no harm in having alfalfa in the teas all the way through veg up until halfway through flowering. That being said, the soil mix should hold its own well into flower so it may be best to top-dress when you up-pot to its flowering container.

The new setup looks great. Looks much cleaner and easier to manage.
How many tops you rocking in there? Looks like alot of bud. Improved yield over the one gallon run would you say?

There be 6.22 imp gallons in a cubic foot, and there be 7.48 Us gallons in a cu ft. So for 3 cf that's 18.66 or 22.44 so say 20 since I want to move to Colorado .. Add 5 gallons of recycled (big mama etc), so about 23-25gal total. Room in bin yet, able to mix. That said, go on.. I like how you think

Lookin nice DT!

Maybe you can get your slacker partner to help out now and then? ;)
Hahaha hey buddy! thanks! unbeknownst to most, we may do our best work when separated, it forces one another to progress individually yet naturally, of course, we still synergize, challenging and testing theories while also constantly taking turns innovating and contributing.. It's like Dna coil spiraling upwards, the progression is two fold no less . . he paves the way in many ways, yet I ensure progress, even failure, for out of the ashes rise not bio char, but success. With you and our dearest @Pattahabi as sounding boards and experienced contributors, all sails are full boar.. all I can think about is the epic quality, and variety, on way, and then, the wild strains we will invent.. United by the tiny yet almighty trichome, we have come from sperm and egg and now, grown, we grow and turn seeds into worlds of delight .. Dam. Ima smoke to that

Haha yes brothermon. i agree. Much more in there now, and still rocking the wrong sizes imo..still, 50 tops remain in the tent with big-mama at her wake, as the Chernobyl hazes have minds of their own and almost over react to any form of training haha. Unpredictable..almost. Definitely nice to have the filter out the way of the girls, they have more freedom now. I envision castored bases, bigger pots in the future.. I want to sell the tents build something that has a door that goes to the floor. Then the women can roll out, get a love dose, get spun around, admired, and rolled in..with maybe some kind of custom worm farm trench, like an above ground gutter or eaves trough full of worms, bedding, and buried scraps, with a hinging lid, like 4 inches deep only but the width of say that big green tub, not tall, like 5 inches, surrounds the 30gallon tho..co2 right there rising thru the canopy. Like how a truck has storage the castor base could have a drop-in tub full of a no-till, living super soil.. Call me crazy mon but I can picture it already in my head, it could work.. Hang a spray bottle on each tote, roll it out, spray ur worm trench, water ur woman, take a pic, spin her, then pull out her friend.. Two big totes per tent only holy fuck I'm getting excited lol

I believe 8 tops made it through our gauntlet last time? From 38 seeds.. Lol.. Now, 64 or more tops is the goal for this 40 inch space. In 4 - ten gallons, or 2 - 30 gallon totes' side by side, or 1 - 70 gallon super pot on wheels for a several month sativa beast like the blackForrest. Can hardly wait. But I want to try that after the NEXT round, try the smaller options first and work up.. Here's our 50 in five - 5 gallon pails
