these are stills from videos,

nom nom nom nom


killed off 8 clones, 8 more to go

yeah, the trop cherry strawberry sugar crosses are soooooo pretty




-yup
and strawberry sugar is my all time favorite strain
to look like it tastes
that was the goal
thanks, I really am happy with the way they look, especially since it's only f1 and it already has both pink and heavy strawberry terps on the frosty girl, blew my expectations for sure
so Im gonna root both
not as red as the other one, but terps are always my preference

the frostier tropicana strawberry now has undeniably better terps
actually, I just did a sniff test
killed 4 automatically
clones rooted on all 18
I would say these are my 4 leads......




But seems like the red was dominant when crossed with strawberry sugar
Yeah one of them took like 10 days to sprout though
lol yup
Guess which 2 are Trop cherry crosses
all pics are equidistant so size can be compared to one another, same camera settings across the board, based on appearance alone, which one(s) is your favorite so far?

havent updated in a while, heavy neglect tek, been traveling for work every other week, on auto drip. Frost is crazy, week 4, passed herm check. All the lowers were pollinated with white wedding v3 pollen 😶 (strawberry sugar), 2 phenos were automatically in kill pile, berry white 1 (pheno 2 is DANK, taller and frostier), and ZT blice 2(Other pheno towers over it and is much danker and frostier). Frost level on all the phenos is gross for the week. Uptake on some are definitely different, most notably the Trich's, gobbling nutrients, probably could have went 1000 ppm on them. Spot feeding them in response to the ugly. Both Trop Cherry x Strawberry crosses are looking purple in the buds, crazy that color carried down for a f1 cross so the color might actually be dominant. Winners right now is Berry White 2, floop blue 3, trich carbon 3, purple berry 2(every PB has super fruit terps, might have to make more and do a grow competition), trop straw 2, ZT Blice 1, rest will likely goto kill pile based on structure and foliage alone. I have way more than enough to choose from that have structure, bud structure, frost and terps so nbd



yup, light definitely made branches branch out


Already got like 4 plants I could take clones off of that I couldn’t before



Must have had a short blackout while I was away, this was the last frame of the tent before my time lapse went out(middle pic). Came back home to an empty humidifier, all the plants pretty much dried out. House was at 17% humidity due to the cold, plants are still alive but basically all of the leaves died. This grow has officially become a random experiment, in the spirit of FL, I'm gonna call this palm tree tek:
PROBLEM: None of the lower nodes had branches that were long enough to use as clones, In this grow, I want to avoid topping in order to have the best representation of a single bud site on all phenos
THEORY: axillary bud sites will branch out once they are exposed to direct light
POTENTIAL SOLUTION: Lollipop the plants so that light will hit all the lowers
We'll see how this goes..... As ugly as they are, now that Im back and with much needed TLC, I'm pretty sure the plants will recover to be perfect by the time I flip
Veg will now be postponed for another 2 weeks until I feel the plants are stable enough to flip





Drip is all set Off to FL
All of them have insane potential so I’m just letting the results speak for themselves. I really want to see the very chaotic cross too, and purple berries and the pineapple strawberry,

Not much to report Not topping on this run, just letting it ride so I could see one fat cola up top in its true form, unfortunately, I’m going away for a couple of weeks so I can’t even flip these until I get back

18/18 on selfie seeds That 13 day old baby better be a keeper pheno, I almost fainted transplanting her

1/7, even with algae starting to grow on the rapid rooter, this girl finally decided to sprout, better late than never, thats literally 13 days since plugged

hail mary shotgun poured like 5 ml of wwater onto this last dud red strawberry

1/5 Mary Black Sprouted, transferred out

1/4 Grape Gas x Floop sprouted, transferred

1/3 nothing, squirted like 4 drops of water to everything

1/2 last Berry Chaotic x Strawberry Sugar sprouted, transferred out

1/1 2 duds?(nope), sprouted two more seeds Grape Gas x Floop and Miss Mary Black (Grape Gas x Tropicana Cherries)


12/30, last Tricho Crossover sprouted

I’m at 104 right now in a pool of sweat

Sick as f with the flu Will update when I could stand The last trop strawberry popped today, literally 7 days later and in between I popped two more seeds as back ups so now I got 18 plants total
this morning #14 sprouted , transferred it out, only 2 left is tropicana strawberry and berry strawberry, squirted about 2 ml of h2o2/nutrient, 150 ppm water on top to jump start, no apple seeds sprouted 😢


transferred the sprouted and watered each one about 28 grams of nutrient water, like a 4-2-3 NPK with all the micros and about 4 calcium, 404, 6.1 ph tent stable at 80, humidity creeping up to 60, but will get higher, inline fan is completely off, only air coming in is one of the side vents



bought a pair of new 2025 LM301H Evos, set them up and following my optimal new grower build, spider farmer oversized tent, with 2 SF2000's, if anyones reading this, I could actually offer the build at BF prices, just respond to this comment with a poop emoji


if you look at the solo cup grow I did before, I honestly think the results on the left side of the tent(sf2000) looked better than the right side (ionboard), all the major frost was on the left, so I am swapping out the lights

this was yesterday night, didnt get a chance to update but we 13/16 sprouted day 4 which is pretty good because I only defrosted the seeds for a day

Lineup: Apple Crisp Apples, private PA farm x 4 (I would be happy if 2 sprouted)
Purple Berry(Strawberry Sugar x Blueberry Sugar) x 3
Tricho Crossover x 3
Berry Chaotic(Watermelon Pheno) x Strawberry Sugar x 2
Pineapple Sugar x Strawberry Sugar (Only Seed from spot pollination) x 1
FLOOP x Blueberry Sugar x 3
ZT x Blue Ice (trich stems) x 2
Trop Cherry x Strawberry Sugar x 2
In this journal, I'm hunting what I think is meta. NGL, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be more than one keeper in this hunt, but I might just reverse a Sugar momma to ready for spot pollination week 3. However, the two crosses that have not been stress tested are Tricho Crossover and ZT x Blice so keeping a close eye on those week 3 in Bloom, if balls appear, any seed produced will get tossed but clones on non herms will be bred.


Hunting some 2025 crosses plus some 2nd Generation trichome stem babies from Herb Santa. Line Up is ……..
