I have no idea who native 8 is, or if they're the same person.

Salutations RIU family!
First off, the incubator is making progress!
I had 100% germination using the 1% h2o2 soak, with one seedling dying due to pathogens, and another due to an odd issue where the stem tangled itself and never managed to pop. Most of them are already in their solo cups, waiting to get sexed. I'm torn between DNA testing for time, or letting them just grow out. I am leaning towards the ladder to see if there's any meaningful expression differences in the males, as I would like to keep 2, as long as this system works as well as I hope...
Onto the Chem Fuego hydro tent! We are moving full steam ahead! I have just enough grows under my belt to know some plants are easier than others, and I really have a thing for the picky ones. I'm at the crossroad of "am I over feeding, under feeding, or in the wrong ph range?" I have a feeling there's a little lockout going on, and I'm pretty sure the way I am feeding is leading to calcium deficiencies that get worse through flower, but I'm making do. I think they'll be ready between the 2nd and 4th week of June, with the squat ones finishing earlier. Going to ask some folk who've grown out these plants to see if they benefit from early harvest like their Chem parents.
And here's the sativa tent. It's... going to be a long ride lol. All I've done since the first res fill is raise the lights and check the soil with my fingers. Haven't added a drop of water in weeks. I need to do some light amending and add water this week for peace of mind, but I can't imagine it gets much easier than this. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the fucking ants found their way into my SIP tent. I put some bait out for them, so I'm waiting for that to rectify itself. The plants have a very herbal spice smell on the leaf rub. I'm used to a generic sugar sweet smell from my hydro tent, even with the Chem fuego.

damn this is all looking great! I had to lookup Chem Fuego, skipped leafly's first link bcuz they suck, and damn, that's gotta be some potent shit lol. That's what you got from farmerjoe right?
from the other thread..
from the other thread..
now that's hilarious lmao. But there could be some gems in there... I'd still be hopeful for sure. You end up keeping any of the males?

As for the mango, I did not keep any males, as I have other projects in mind. I still have a pack of Mango A5 haze along with a gang of other seeds from SHSC, and as far as I am aware the company is still operational, so if it is something worth going back to, you can bet your bottom dollar I will!

Jesus christ, where does the time go...
It's looking like the final act is here, and there's not a whole lot to talk about. The fuego is a tricky cultivar and I'm not very happy with the overall health. The leaves did not like the light, but the buds responded beautifully. I'm thinking 2 more weeks, roughly 70 days of actual flower, but I'm keeping a close eye on them for pathogens because the buds are seemingly very dense already. Humidity is in the low 50s, and that's the best I can do.
The Mango Haze is throwing off some wild smells. It's very pleasant. The growth speaks for itself. A little nitrogen toxicity is behind the curling leaves, at least that's my best guess. I gotta say, this SIP thing is ridiculously simple and effective.
The incubator is incubating, still no genitals. I'm attempting to bonsai the Sour D and Chem 91. I'll share pics at a later date!

Been meaning to update, luckily I can't sleep, so here we go!
Alright, let's start with the exciting stuff. Chem Fuego, harvested at 9 weeks. I wanted a little more of a racy high, so I sacrificed a bit of bulk. The taller, 91 leaner was done done. The other 2, possibly headband leaners were still showing alot of clear, however, I tested a bud chopped a week prior from one of them and it took me by supprise. Real funky headrush stuff. Fingers crossed I made the correct choice.
The Mango Haze c5 is just doing her thing. Got some clawing and a bit of N tox on a couple plants, along with something I haven't quite diagnosed, possibly Cal Def? Idk. I'm taking a hands off approach to this tent. If you see something, say something, otherwise I'm letting them ride. They smell wonderful!
The incubator is incubating. Sex should show any day, but I'm in no hurry, as I'm not starting anything until the Haze is done. I think the window Unit, which is on year 4, is about ready to get replaced, and I'm not going to do that until next year.
So, that's where I'm at.
Oh, where am I going you ask? Well, I'm going to run 100% perilite hempy with Jack's for my Pineapple Fields Pheno hunt. Depending on how many females I end up with, I'll either fill the tent, or do phases of 6 at a time before making a female selection for F2. I might take some clones of males and do a shotgun flower to eliminate the quickest shooter of the bunch, but time will tell.
I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with the Sips. Depending on the time frame, I might reamend with some BAS craft blend, throw some BAS cover crop on, and let it do it's thing until fall when I'm ready to fire them up again with lord knows what. Idk, my life is a trash fire and my desires are jet fuel.
Beyond the aforementioned AC unit concern, I am entirely overwhelmed, and there's a potential job coming up that will require lots of OT and potentially another drug test, which is part of why I'm still awake...
If it sounds like I'm complaining, its mostly because I am. It's frustrating to have a career that discriminates against the thing I am most passionate about, in order to afford the lifestyle that allows me to pursue it... I want to say more, but I'm rambling at this point. Life is good, I'm just tired.
I love this community, I love growing weed, and if you made it this far, I appreciate your time and patience. - TB

Every job ends, that's the truth of it! After all the years of working nights, I'm tuned to go to sleep at 4am, not wake up at 4am.From one dumpster fire to another hang in there, they'll finish. That's all that matters and I get your pain. Hang in there
It definently makes me a bit dramatic lol

Little update, I chopped during the first 90+ week, the AC couldn't keep up, and the top colas on the presumed Chem 91 leaner ended up getting a touch of budrot as well as aspergillus. I've spent the last 5 hours going through the 91 leaner and randomly picked top buds of other plants, and the very top colas are the only ones affected. It was the most ripe, and most dense of the 3 plants. From other reports, I knew this strain didn't have the best resistance, still, my fault for not planning better.
Never had aspergillus, which is a little alarming, but this tent was getting a hiatus for the bulk of summer anyway, so I've got plenty of time to read and clean.
I'm about to start working on the rest of the tent, so fingers crossed that plant got the worst of it (it had the most necrotic tissue, specifically at the top)
The failure at the start of the year was catastrophic, this was mild. I haven't made the same mistake twice, so I'm chaking that up as a win. More than anything I'm embarrassed, and kicking myself for not journaling all of my previous harvests that had zero issues with pathogens lol.
The goal now is to protect the Haze. It's an overall healthier group, and the humidity will be significantly reduced without the Hydro tent running, but I have my work cut out for me.

Apparently the temp probe got pulled out of my tent somehow, so the controller was just reading the ambient temp and humidity of the lung room, I imagine it happened on chop day, which would explain alot lol

I still need to make a closure post for my last grow. I haven't gone anywhere, I just had to shift gears the moment I got my last grow chopped.
This is just a little teaser for the fall
Pineapple Fields (1 of 6) hopefully they're all ladies, I'm only certain about 2 of them.
