Day 27

Took the copycat out the tent so it can look homeless in the cardboard box. Definitely not feeling the foundation at all. May do some questionable things to it. I want to bring it down a bit. Time to bust out the cloner. If I go with a nice size topping, I may as well 12/12 it to see what I’m in for.

Below is the Cement Shoes.. which also happens to be a lanky one.. but the lower growth has me feeling better... even tho it’s uneven. Noticing that I am going to start rotating them.





This is Pineapple Gelato #2
Which is the 3rd tallest in the tent besides the lanky plants above. This one has lots of growth down under tho. I’m liking it. Even if it’s male, I still may keep it for pollen.


This is Dream wedding (Fem) She’s got a little strong hand goin there, but she was too close to the humidifier. That issue has been fixed. The humidifier had to go.

Pineapple gelato #1 is still short, so this little one is propped up on plastic crate. Trying to keep the
tops even with each other.

This is Fluffy Waffles (Pancakes x Fluffy) Fluffy was created by MizterGreenthumbb of Thumbbprint genetics. Breeder out of Canada. Unsure if it’s the cookies / jbeezy pancakes or the in-house pancake breath in there with it tho.
This seed is a Reg.. so it may or may not be seeing the finish line with us here on RIU.

This is the ILGM wedding cake fem. She’s doing ok. I’m seeing a little mag deficiency, and N deficiency was creeping in.. I just needed to saturate the pot, and ever since I’ve been rolling with more watering sessions using less volume.



This is Thug pug collab #5. Night king x lurch

Everything is so even on this plant. I can definitely tell who worked hard on their gear, and who half asses it. Thankfully I only paid for the beans to be shipped. The Thug pug bean was a gift tho. Just a single bean.. and damn it’s beautiful.

Today I took the pineapple gelato #2 and topped her 3 nodes down from the top. I took the cut and placed it in my McCloner, Using a dark bubble mailer to shade the water, and straight under 12/12. Let’s see how quick he or she will show themselves.

Decided to top the other pineapple gelato as well. I chopped low because I want the foundation to start branching out from there, and not so high up. Tossed the cut into the bottom half of a water bottle. Filled it with tap water & used a bubble mailer end as a crutch/Shade.

The Thug Pug #5 is the sexiest plant in the tent in my eyes. No matter the size of those fans up top.. that bottom/side growth is pushing nice & evenly.

The Copycat seed that was planted turned out to be just undesirable, and off pace with the rest of the grow. Too much spacing between nodes, too tall with very little side branching... what it did have was extremely uneven.. so it had to go. Considering all the remaining plants and their stages.. the Fluffy waffles may be the next to get culled due to being so small at day 37.

Both of the pineapple gelato turned out to be male. They have been evicted and now we’re down to 5.

It took 14 days in their cups for the first cut to show sex. Unfortunately it’s getting tossed.. but I have left one of the cuts under 12/12 in the same water & it’s still going. It’s getting tossed later.

Fluffy Waffles is definitely a runt.. slowest germ, as well as slowest growth. Seeing how I have had a cut under 12/12 for 3 weeks and not a pollen sack in sight.. I’ve decided to spend a little time on this plant with some LST. If need be... which is probably the case.. this one will stay in the small tent With more cuts possibly while the others transition into the 4x4. If the thug pug turns out to be male.. a cut will be taken and placed right under 12/12 til pollen pods start to open.. then I will set it in with the other clones that make the cut.
feed has been bumped up to 40ml of foop veg 1 + Veg 2 per & 15ml of sweetener. 645ppm @ 6.3ph

These are a rundown basically since the last pics.
This bad boy/girl bounces back after 24hrs of being left alone.
I am noticing that when as move forward with the lst, I am noticing she bends a lot easier a couple hours after being watered or fed. The stems/branches feel more pliable. This is something i didn’t realize even with all the training on the Glueberry muffins. I went a little higher with the bends this time around.

So here is a little update..
Fluffy waffles turned out to be male. It’s since been moved (still in veg) the clone that started to bloom was tossed. (Pic below)



Thug pug collab #5 was set in a shot glass next to the others. After being cut Jan 22nd.. it has since rooted & started to bloom…. And it’s a female

we have the cut, the piece of bubble mailer I used as a caddy to hold the cut upright above the shot glass. Hole in the center to insert the cut. Then it went straight into a small solo style shot cup with tap water in it. Then the cut went into a solo cup with some recycled soil.. remained under 12/12.. and on day 23 I seen pistils
