Exotic Genetix Trap Star Grow Journal By TwoX

Thanks. I vegged under t5s. Blooming under HPS. Oh and they are taller and stretchier than they appear in the pictures. The bush is due to training. They take well to topping and bending. I'll post pics
 
Lifesaver man. I need exotic genetix in my life lol.
I see u ran the ripper washing machine. I grew ripper toxic, and badazz so far. Both were devastating bt the badazz was my favorite smoke. It smelled like straight tangerines. Not lemons not citrus straight tangerines!! I miss it so much I brought another pack lol. Definitely worth being in everyone's garden at least once. Love that u can get a 3 pack of fems for around $20 or a 10 pack of regs on Seedsman. The option is what keeps me buying from them. The addiction is real!! Bt having at least 50 legendary strains in my garden is the mission

Damn that sounds super nice. I was thinking of the toxic as well. I also have black valley and double glock by them I'm just waiting to pop those. This washing machine is some really nice looking stuff. Defiantly kept both my phenos the other pheno smells like bubble gum still has 2 weeks. Shit is super nice. I'm still super jellouse of what Twox got from exotic shit looks amazing.
 
And the show begins..
After 20 days of 12/12 we have frost and preflowers and there starting to take off. They got a little stretch to them and are probably about 4.5ft tall. Real nice node spacing at the tops but the side branching never really caught up and made a low canopy. They definetly could have used more training but I knew I was going to run low on space this grow while trying to pheno hunt ten plants.( I have 13 plants in my flowering tent at The moment.. wtf??) The tops are going to turn out nice and I really want to find a keeper, hopefully a stable one. I have 3 more TrapStars that just had there first taste of the HPS last night and I'm almost positive that one is a male.

I haven't really tried to smell or touch them yet and won't until about week 4. The 3 ladies at 20 days are all really healthy with a nice green color on there leaves and look like there ready to party and should make it through flower with ease. I have a feeling that those colas are going to fill in nicely.. It seems like forever ago when I was overly excited to grow these ladies. They take so freaking long to get from seed to a finished flower.. It's like the curse of the growers. We get so pumped up for our genetics and have to suffer for 4 months while they grow... I need to pop some seeds soon and start bull dozing through these strains, I'm ready to smoke.

These two pics were taken as the light was warming up

Girls looking good and healthy Twox. Love the node spacing. I too am eager to see how these girls turn out ... The Cherry fuely flavor combo sounds so delish! The wait is excruciating for sure lol
 
I saw a lot of similar characteristics in my pack of the TS. I am thinking its just a really unstable/sensitive new strain. As with many new strains these days due to the fluctuation of breeders the last few years. Not to say that strains arent as good or have the potential to be great but it creates more work for a grower when dealing with extremely sensitive genetics.

TS1 Day 39.....and let the flush begin.

Nice looking frost there buddy :thumb: ..... whats this "flush" you speak of??
 
The bottom of the plant was very clean and the clusters seem to have formed about haltf way up and stopped at the 4th node from the top. All of them were located at the node where the single calyex is usually located at the start of every branch on the main stem. I found maybe 5 or 6 per plant and I found 2 that seemed to be opening. None of the main flowering spots were effected, only the node spaces were they usually show sex. The 2 open ones I found were very green and probably sterile. They did not have a yellowish tint at all and were very wet and green. I've seen much worse from a hermie so I'm very confident i can keep a clean tent while i run these.. Hope I see a little variation in the pheno types.

Yes I've had that on a few Exotic strains. What happened to me was of course I never saw them cause I was looking for nanners a lot later in flower. They formed where you said, only a few and then a popcorn bud formed over top of it and only the popcorn bud had a few seeds in it. That was it.... they probably get viable when the plant is in mid flower.

Not hermie just the plant preparing to replicate itself. We get S1 seeds from that so it ain't all that bad. Now I have some S1 seeds of some strains I liked and now don't have to keep clones to keep the genetics.

Sorry ... catching up went on vacay for a week. You're plants look very healthy.

Bro.. those pics of the male plants make me cringe... dude be careful.... pollen gets everywhere. Makes me wanna get my pruners out and give you a little help with that. I couldn't get that shit in my compost bin fast enough... OH wait.... seeds + seedaholic = yer in heaven! Got it.... resume with the male bits! I wonder what would happen if you snorted a lil of that pollen??

S1 sounds good to most but herms sound sh*tty to all of us. I thought S1 had to be created via reversal but male sacs on fems resulting in some seeds = herm. But IDK? Bob...what is the difference? A matter of degree or amount? :Namaste:
 
So just wanted to drop an update on you guys. The TS1 has been chopped, trimmed and hanged. It turned out decent looking. Finishing a little early and probably because our abusive relationship early on ;) (I.E. Topping and LST). However I had taken cuttings from my TS1, 3, 5, and what I was 99% sure was a male TS7 seedlings. The TS3 and 5 showed similarities in what has been reported in this journal with male sacks forming only on lower node sites. The TS1 did the same thing, but I was able to keep it under control and removed them before any major damage was done. The TS7 was the one I eas sure was a male.

I am now 2 weeks into flipping a TS7, TS3 and TS1 that have had no LST and have only been topped. They have showed none of the similar herm signs that occurred to the seedlings. These cuttings will be ran hopefully at a normal finishing schedule.

I am now leaning towards the root cause to be an extremely sensitive strain that doesnt like LST too much. Just a theory at this point but we will wait and see.

Depends on what is causing the male flower. There's four different types of herm flowers. Two of which can be used for fem and S1 for sure because they are simply natural stress induced. Wilting and age are the triggers. I've never dealt with the others but I doubt the light induced are much different. The scary one is the one that happens under prime conditions. That's a true hermaphrodite. The rest are induced or synthetic is another term. Rodelization as it is now coined was the first method of feminizing and creating S1 seeds long before High Yogi dubbed it with the name. and damn I'm feeling like a high yogi right now lol dipping into some killer domina picked up in a trade :surf:
 
That is a good amount of frost for so early on. While browsing strains and day dreaming about what else i would like to buy next I saw a couple of other The Cube crosses that looked really nice. I will watch these to see if you find any that end up being stable.
They have soon newer crosses out too. I really think there just super sensitive. We will find out on the second run of my favs.

Yes it is.. it's been about 3 months now that I've been craving this flavor.. still another month and a half.. I'm ready to smoke some now.. lol

Wow, that was a whole lotta pollen. I can just imagine the mess but it hooked a brother up. Totally worth it. Does it feel like you have natures' currency in your hand? ;) Loved the pics and the show extraordinaire.

It did seem like a lot.. I think I did a good job cleaning up because my white pistols in my tent are still white.. Thank god the dudes were flowered on the other side of the house.. They started dumping pollen quick and I only harvested the tops

I hope the Vacation was good.. I need one of those.. haven't found any open sacs yet and there looking good so I'm still keeping a fav..

I was scared of the pollen too, especially when I went to collect it and it went "Everywhere".. I hosed the house down like a fireman.. I think I did good.. I also stripped butt ass naked afterwards and showered. I need some coveralls. The male grow is currently empty but I'll be pollinating some females soon.

I feel the sensitivity may have been a issue to. Especially since all the males I have found showed sex days after topping.. Made me think they didn't like it.

Some nice frost on that Trap star. How's she smell now that she's done? Do you think she's a 8 or 9 week strain?

Kind of makes me wonder about what really went down when these seed where breed by Exotic. Are these really reg Trapstars our are there some fems in my pack due to Exotics own self pollination issues. Maybe ones a femd LaOgKush? If this was the case the only plants I can say were truly pollinated by the Cube male is the males. I bought some Extra thick tin foil today too. Can't decided if i should make a sail boat hat or a ball cap with a giant antenna.
 
I find the Magneto to be the most functional and stylish. Of course you'll need to make body armor.. and a cape. Gotta have a cape.

A lot of breeders use 2 gallon pots because it's just easier to manage smaller plants. However, the stress can trigger nanners. Finding S1 females of the mother is a distinct possibility. :thumb:
 
I would suggest she's an 8 weeker. She has that cherry, kushy smell to her still but with a much more pungent cherry side. At least thats ehat I was catching durring trim. We'll see after the cure.....
