Puffenuff's 2021 Journey

What's up, RIU? It's been a while since I've posted a grow thread. Been doing this a long time now and I've got my regiments and recipes pretty dialed in to what works for me. Consistently producing fire so I can't complain much.

I don't know if the journal will continue past this grow or not, that's going to depend on a few things, mainly time, but I'll definitely be following through until the end of my current flower cycle in the 2’x7’ flower area. Which is starting today and consists of 4 strains, 3 of which I've never flowered before.

Strain 1: Slurricane ix by InHouse Genetics

Strain 2: GCP (Gorilla Cookie Purp) (Gg4 x Forum Cookies x Mendo Purps) by Sunken Treasure Seeds

Strain 3: Mac Stomper by Sunken Treasure Seeds

Strain 4: Mac (I've grown the fuck outta this one - an all time keeper in the stable) - clone only

Now these should all be some fire unless I royally fuck things up somehow. Which is always a possibility. This round already isn't ideal because the plants are different ages and sizes. Tall (Slurricane), medium (GCP), and small (Mac Stomper) that I'm honestly just throwing in for the fuck of it because I needed the space in the veg area. Some of these are moms, and some are their cuts. I am expecting this to be a jammed-packed 2x7 in a few weeks. There's not a lot of room as-is so I'll do my best to keep them cleaned up.

The Mac, which I’ve grown consistently, will go 65-70 days. Honestly no clue on the others. I'm thinking the Slurricane will probably take the longest, maybe 10-12 weeks? Not expecting a super long flower time for the GCP based on the genetics, but you never know…we'll see.

Other details of the grow…

Medium: Coco / Perlite
Nutrients: Canna Line + Silica + Calcium + microbes
Lights: 2 NextLight Plus Pros (2 x 330w) with the Pro Series Control
Intensity Rise/Fall: 60 minutes

The space is a 2’x7’ closet lined with panda film. AC Infinity inline, carbon filter, fans for some breeze, etc. Nothing too fancy. Watering/Feeding is done manually.

Here's some pictures of about a week ago, which was day 1 of 12/12.



It's kind of tough to get a good picture / angle of the whole space. I'll try better next time.

And here are some initial thoughts on these strains so far.

I'm the most excited / intrigued by the GCP. It's got great lineage and this specific pheno has been a breeze to grow so far. Stays stout and bushes out really nicely with multiple toppings. Cloning it has been a breeze and handles everything I’ve thrown at it so far. No complaints.

The Mac Stomper is a weird one. I think it’s just this specific seed though. My buddy popped a few Reg seeds, got a couple males, and this female. Not an easy clone he said, and seems rather finicky / sensitive and prone to stretch. He's almost done flowering his and despite how it looks, it produces some funk. So giving it a whirl. If it's disappointing we'll chuck it and pop a few more beans. Honestly either way we'll pop a few more of them because I can't imagine this being the best of our batch. Fingers crossed...

The Slurricane ix has been easy so far. These ones were from feminized seeds. Started 2, keeping one around until another comes along that's more impressive. The one that didn't make the cut was super leggy. Flowering out the mom and tossed the clones. It's dead after this. The keeper-for-now has nice structure and all the clones have been super healthy / not stretchy like the other. Seems promising so far.

Mac, it's a keeper, but time to put it on the back burner for a while. It'll show up from time-to-time though no doubt.

That's all I have for now. Hope everyone enjoys the grow. Peace.

I'm doing MAC V2 now from Cap himself, seeds from him I mean

Two males and One bitch this run, 1st time, excited to see what I get

Here is the start of week 2. Not much of an update besides the Mac Stomper seems to be getting her color back. Still a little fussy on the feeding though. Looking like I'll be coming through and doing some more clean up in the next week or two to open things up a bit more. Bumped up the intensity on the controller from 80% to 90%



Peace

That's awesome. I've got a few Cap strains lined up for a later round that I'm working through as well: Sticky Buns (got a couple females), Cap's Frozen Lemons (1 female), Chem Chillz (yet to pop), and Cold in the D (yet to pop). I'm also testing some clones of Mac n Jack by Ethos (2 looking healthy- from fem seeds) - so far all the Cap gear has been great germ rates and super healthy the whole way. Good luck with the MacV2

I have the Frozen lemon also and lemon shiv

May do some pheno hunts on those next grow

Start of Week 3 and I definitely need to come in and strip some leaves to open things up some. Will work on that this week. Not much else to update on

End of week 3 / start of week 4

I came in and stripped some leaves, but it's hard to tell. Guess I needed to go a bit harder especially on the GCP. Still such a bush. I'll do a bit more this week. They're all coming along nicely though. Here's a few pictures.



That's all for now. Peace

Start of week 5

Things are going pretty well for the most part I guess. But not super happy with how things look. The smaller plants I shoved in definitely seem a ways behind in terms of development. The Mac stomper is getting tossed it was just too little to keep up and not shaping up to give me anything worthwhile in return.

But the GCP is stacking nicely. Didn't get much of a stretch if anything.


Slurricane we're already tall but they had a nice stretch added to them. Throwing spears for sure though.



The Mac is doing great too.


Hitting them with the pk this week. Didn't do much more defoliating just because of time. Planning out the next round. Tentative plan is to run the GCP and Slurricane back, with a Cheesilicous freebie I've been vegging from seed. Thing is fucking squat. I'll have to grab a picture of it for the next update. Hoping to have the Sticky Buns and Mac n Jack clones ready by then too but might be a close call. We'll see...so that's all I got for this week.

Peace

Start of week 6

I'm favoring the structure and frost of the GCP over the Slurricane at this point. Pretty much decided I'll run what Slurricane I have left in veg next round and then that will be it until I pop more seeds out of the pack. Just not feeling it as much as other strains. But maybe there's something in the pack that I'll end up liking more.

That's all for now. Till next time. Peace

Week 7 update

Short update this week. Super busy. Tentative target for harvest is a full 9 weeks, but that may change based on the next couple weeks, we'll see...the GCP may come down before the slurricane. TBD

Missed an update. Middle of week 9. They're getting the axe this weekend. Couple quick shots

Mac is solid as always too. Next update will be in a couple weeks with some harvest photos and maybe some trim pics. Overall impressions to come as well.

That's all I got. Peace
