So as I stated previously in my journal I am growing a few of the Honeymoon Mix plants from TGA. For anyone who didn't read-

"...my TGA/Subcool Honeymoon mix, a gift from Subcool.
The Honeymoon Mix was a pack of seeds that were given out by Sub in 2010 as a result of an online contest of sorts. Alot of people won a pack by posting a TGA photo, story, or strain created using TGA genetics. 100 packs were issued.
Packs contained "..a mix of TGA genetics including some very rare seeds like Space Dawg, Dannyboy, and even some old stash beans like Lifesaver etc and even new beans like Kaboom and the Hard to get Deep Purple.
The requirements are pretty loose here because my mission here is to simply make 100 people smile."- Subcool"

Here we are at Day 32 of bloom. I have Three Honeymoon ladies.
The first one is Agent Orange I am pretty sure.



The second I am having a real hard time identifying




Perhaps Querkle or Chernobyl??? Still not sure as of yet. The smell is familiar that is why I'm leaning Chernobyl.. but I could be completely off. Only time will tell.

The third is a really sweet candy smelling gal. I'm guessing Space Queen.
But still unsure.





Maybe I can get Subcool to chime in with his expertise. I apologize the photos aren't what they usually are in terms of quality. I have to replace the battery on my Panasonic GF2. So I took these with a Lumix point and shoot. The next month is going to be killer. Can't wait till these buds start blowing up!

Might be unknown but def looking tasty bh

How hard would these strains be to grow for a second time grower, Batman? I'm about 4 weeks from harvest on my first and am already looking for seeds. Would you say that these genetics are stable enough for a guy who still has very small of an idea of what he is doing? Or more specifically, what would be some strains out of these farms that would be advisable for a newb? I just read all 8 pages and am completely amazed at your work man. Also, congrats on the new chapter in life.

Most of which not too difficult IMO. When I started out the only ones I could see that posed a problem were the ones that stretched. Stretchy phenotypes make it hard to create an even canopy and this makes it tough to distribute light. I started out with the TGA line and found those to be very stable and the finished product creates great Bag appeal. I still grow alot of TGA gear and would recommend it. I've also taken quite a liking to the work done by Alphakronik and will be popping alot of his gear very soon.

Thanks for the compliments.

I will definitely do some more reading on TGA and alphakronik. Thanks for the direction. I can't wait to see your results.

So I ordered another HID ballast today. Still deciding on the reflector I'm going to use although I love the mini-sunsoaker parabolic one from HTG. Fits 5-6 under it nicely in a SOG.

This is what I purchased-

Your work look's top notch. I grow mostly TGA also and your TGA pics are always top notch and look tasty. Keep up the good work. Looking foward to your updates.

Oh BTW
Tracked down these beans-

Sputnik 2.0

and

Sputnik 2.0 x Black Russian!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG I'm so psyched..

My thought is

My Space Princess pheno is starting to smell like blueberry candy. Like for real it's covered in syrupy resin that when touched leaves your hand feeling and smelling like you just touched a wet blueberry blowpop. It smells insanely good. So I thought I'd run some of the before mentioned Sputnik beans, pick a nice looking male and juice him for his seed... and make one of the most bomb berry colorful crosses ever. Whatever product comes from this project I want to reverse sex a female and take that pollen and use it to knock up the SpacePrincess Mom hence Female Seeds and give them to everyone who has a HID and a camera.

The future looks dank!

Changed the feed up a lil
All mixed in a one gallon container one at a time, PH 6.5
10ml of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro for Soil
1/4 tsp Advanced Nutrients Big Bud Powder
12 ml Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy

using Advanced SensiZym with Distilled Water once every 10 days

Foliar Feeding with 10ml Advanced Bud Factor X and a Humic Acid additive once a week.

I also added a few grams of Jamaican Bat Guano at the base of the plants and a small new top layer of Ocean Forest. They all look like theyre diggin it.
