HSC Jelly Rancher, Athena Blended Line

[PopAndSonGrows]

I thought it was about time for me to start a diary-a.

I got some Jelly Rancher seeds from my dear old friend @trychrome . By that, I mean that we've been friends for a long long time, he is a dear and yes he is very old lol.

Seeds dropped 11/19, this pic is probably 11/22? Right when the domes came off.

Not using GHE this time. A buddy of mine (not trychrome) gave me Athena Blended Line nutrients that my dad said clogged up his drip lines. ..I hand water, so I decided I'd try them out. Just using Balance (silica), Cleanse (pool water?) and the Grow A/B. No Cal Mag, no IPM.

11/29. If these were regs, I'd be sending a sample to FarmerFreeman right about now, if not a day or two prior.


12/4:. Gave the smallest one to Pops, so he could also experience the joy of something that takes less than 12 wks to flower. Also plant limits.


12/5: Transplanted to 3gal pots. I usually finish in these, but these might veg for 60+ days so I may up these to 5gal before flower. We'll see.

12/9: this is about the time I told myself "I'll just let em go for a while, maybe train em later."


12/15: LST begins, lol. I just can't leave them alone. This early work will make things easier later, anyway.


About 12/21, just doin their thing.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So much for "letting them go". I'm keeping them both super well trained and both plants are pretty equally symmetrical. One is lengthier than the other, but for the most part they don't seem very different. Leaves look similar. They both exhibited mild mag deficiencies at the same times, at the same rates.

Plenty o room. Will get scooted over to the 4x4 in about 3 weeks.

Since you're not using the GH, you can always kick it my way so it doesn't spoil on the shelf

I have an experiment coming up with those

My timing got thrown off yet again, and I had to break up my 4-plant run, as two were ready and two were not. So I threw the Jellys into the flower tent last night.. was hoping to keep these vegging for a couple to 3 more weeks, but I needed the 2x2 to dry the two finished plants.

Well, lucky for me I've been keeping up on these Jellys and they're pretty much ready, shapewise, for flower. I'd have liked them to be bigger though. Oh well.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

They're doing great by themselves. They'll have more company soon, I'm picking up my Dad's two mother plants, and I'll throw em in here.


2 weeks flowering, this is decent progress IMO.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Oh and i guess i never added this. . ..

I had to start adding GH CaliMagiC because the plants were constantly showing magnesium deficiency. I swear, Tupur coco kinda sucks in that sense, but, if you consistently just add cal mag to your feed, shouldn't be a problem. That's been the case for me, at least.

Oh and I switched to Bloom A & B.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Took home my dad's overgrown mothers; Archive White Gold on the left, ThugPug Peanut Butter Breath "OGKB pheno" on the right. Super bushy, all he did was top the tallest tops as they got too high.

I think i did okay. Broke off a couple sizeable branches on accident. Was also transplanting from MiracleGro soil into coco, so i shook and washed the roots as best I could, and i fully dunked each plant in a solution of Athena Cleanse. They sat in the kitchen near a light fan until fully dry.

Now they're just waiting for lights-on in the 4x4.

Forgot to post a group pic of all the girls in one place. I've since moved the mothers to the back, and the Jellys up front. Will get a better pic tonight. The mothers are much happier already than in this pic.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

OMFG they're smelling SO GOOD already!

The tall one smells like "blue razz" candy. I might call this the "blue pill".


The short pheno smells just like Ludens cherry cough drops. I might call her the "red pill".

 

[SBBCal]

Get ready for the frost

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

They're stacking nicely! The "red" one swear to gawd smells like Red Vines.


Week 4.5 flower.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Short Jelly showing signs of early ripening! Smells absolutely amazing.

The taller one looks "about right" for its age, both are 39 days flower. This one smells great but not as sweet as the short one.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Lowest bud on the short Jelly. I could totally pull this today at week 7, but I'm gonna push it a few more days.


The tall one is getting nice color, but is gonna take another 2+ weeks easily.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

It is blowing my mind that I have an actual 7 week plant!! This thing is on the early side of "done" in my opinion but I'm definitely pulling it before week 8. The other purpled out one, week 9 I still think. . .. we'll see.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Short Jelly got the chop at day 51. Smells like mangoes and jellybeans.


Shooting for pulling the taller Jelly at week 9.
