BrixNewb's First Grow & Beyond

Yeah, I have learned to let them get nice and dry. That's one thing I can say I have finally learned. Still blows my mind how dry they get and just keep on going.
 
So the second Budzilla clone actually took and had roots, so it got moved into a 1 gallon pot as well. This cloning thing is pretty easy!

Grapefruit Diesel got a test by the female counterpart. She is a daily smoker and has quite a bit of experience smoking as well as a discerning palate. She smoked two bowls of Grapefruit Diesel (compared to 3 or 4 of the stuff we buy locally as top shelf) and she felt almost as high as when she did her first dab. The high came down to a normal level after about 20 minutes, leveling out into a nice body high that wasn't too couchlock, she enjoyed the high and was fully functional going out to eat dinner and run a few errands.

I weighed Grapefruit Diesel which is mostly dry, still burping the jars. 93 grams.
 
Alright, small update for today.

First off I chopped Wipeout Express Auto. No cause for celebration, maybe looking at 4 grams.

Planted a Blue Dream bean, that's a strain that I am very excited for!

The clones have all been moved to 1 gallon pots, the Chocolope Kush clones are doing the best, Budzilla clones are a couple days behind and are droopy from overwatering at the moment.

Blackjack Auto is still chugging along, I think Rescue Drench is in her near future to bring her to the finish line. She still has mostly white pistils. I should probably check trichomes though.

Budzilla and Chocolope Kush are both looking absolutely amazing! The Rescue Drench really made these girls do a complete 180. They are both starting to push out their first pistils. Within the next few days I need to get in there and give them a good defoliation.

Pineapple Chunk got a test smoke. The tester said that it was a more heady buzz, they really enjoyed it. Both Pineapple Chunk and Grapefruit Diesel are still drying, should both finish up within the week.
 
Not much to update, I planted a Blue Dream bean, looking forward to seeing her tomorrow or the day after. I am a bit under the weather, so I will get some picture updates once I am back to normal.
 
Got a picture update! First off we have to clones.

The Budzilla clones are keeping a darker color, but the leaves are looking funkier.

The Chocolope Kush Clones are looking lighter, but the leaves feel healthier and the growth is far outpacing both of the Budzilla Clones.

Jack Herer is growing nicely in her Solo cup. First leaves have a little funk, but growth rate is nice and growth is healthy.

Blueberry Headband is also growing nicely in her Solo cup.

Chocolope Kush got a Rescue Drench before she went into flower. Her leaves feel healthier and more supple than any plant I have had in flower thus far. The upper leaves are a lighter yellow, but beyond that everything looks healthy and the trichomes seem to be coming on nicely for such early flower.

Budzilla is a few days behind Chocolope Kush. She was also Rescue Drenched before flower and has the same light shaded leaves. Other than that she appears happy and healthy.

Blackjack Auto has become the leaning tower of Weedza. Not a large producer, I have decided that autos are not for me at this time. I just do not have to touch for them.

Today the lights came on and I was excited to see our newest arrival, Blue Dream! This is a strain that I have wanted to grow on my own right from the start, but I feel like I am proficient enough to give it a try. My cloning has been working very well thanks to all the info I gathered here. Rapid Rooters and Clonex and 10 days later, I have a beautiful clone waiting to be potted.

Chocolope Kush is really looking amazing! She has buds everywhere and the resin production looks like it will be the highest of anything I have grown this far.
 
I have to say, Chocolope Kush is the first strain by DNA Genetics that I have grown and it is by far the frostiest strain I have come across in my limited experience. It was flipped on 4/24 and this is a picture of fans frosted almost all the way to the tips. Very impressed. Glad the clones are doing well, I think I am going to keep this one in rotation.

I've been eyeing Chocolope Kush for myself. :cheesygrinsmiley: So, if you flipped on 4/24, they've only been growing pistils for 12 days or so. Very nice!

I got it as a freebie if I remember correctly. The picture doesn't show it that well, but trichome production is amazing on this plant! I don't think anything I have grown has had trichomes more than halfway down the fans. This thing is looking amazing. And the clones from it took off. I would say stop eyeing and start buying!
 
WATCH OUT! Kush fever inbound my brother. Haha I have been really loving Kushes and their extreme trichome levels. I don't think I will ever be cured.

This is my second Kush, first was Stacked OG Kush. It was my first grow and that thing looked haggard by the end, but the buds were potent and a plenty. I wasn't aware that the Kushes were known for their resin production, that's great information! I think it's safe to say I have the Kush fever though, I am itching to try some of that gorgeous Huckleberry you got over your way!
 
Chocolope Kush caught me by surprise yesterday. I have small rust spots on the upper leaves. Did some research and it looks like that can be a symptom of CalMag deficiency. I also have the turned up leaf tips, so I will add some Epsom salt in the next few waterings and Brix sprays. Other than that she is doing quite well, really putting on the frost and flowers. She just got her second Cat Drench.

Budzilla is really packing on the frost and flowers as well. She is in for a Cat Drench any day now.

Blue Dream is doing alright in her Solo cup.

Jack Herer just got put into a 1 gallon pot today. She was topped last week.

Blueberry Headband is doing well. She has very fat indica leaves.

Budzilla Clones are going alright. They are staying pretty tight and not really growing outward much. Have been letting them dry out nicely to promote root growth.

The Chocolope Kush clones are growing at a much faster rate than Budzilla it seems. Her clones are also growing outward.

brix, looks great! :thumb:

Chocolope Kush looks so good! She has flower mass coming. You can just tell how nice it's going to be.

Thanks guys. The pictures can be a bit deceiving, she has rust spots on lower fans, but the bud sites still look good. Here is a couple pictures of the issue. In the middle of the lighter circles are rust spots. The pictures don't show it that well.

I just gave her a Epsom salt foliar, so hopefully that gets her back on the right track. I think a Rescue Drench may be in the cards.
