Nutter Budder x Pistacio - A Keeper Journal

Introduction:

Welcome, I intend for this journal to be a little different than normal. I dont have current plans to flower these out, they are revegging at the moment. I figured I would track this since she is the best I have ever come across and will hold her until I find something better.

Bonus updates on the unkillable wedding cake keeper that seems to always tag along will be included. That's a story on its own.

Periodic updates, with random old flower photos will likely be uploaded at some point. I'll explain my horrible cloning process and highlight mistakes. I'm hoping this journal helps keep me more accountable for taking care of these plants.

Feel Free to comment and ask questions!

Nutter Budder x Pistacio - NBxP
Unkillable Wedding Cake - UWC

I took the healthiest of the set of clones from both NBxP and UWC and planted them into 3 gal LS containers.

My plan was to run the NBxP again, but plans changed.

The last indoor photo for these mothers. I took a handful of clones from them shortly after these photos.

After the clones were taken I moved these two outdoors to an offsite location. They are in the hands of another, though I will be circling back to assist with harvest soon.

If you look to the bottom of this tent you will see the surviving clones from the Unkillable Wedding Cake and Nutter Budder x Pistacio.

The clones in the top row were from the Blueberry Cupcakes run, though I kept none of them in the end. They hermed from stress and stretched over 3x so no keepers in my book. One of them tastes like natural Blueberry though, oh well.

The cloning process:

Cut clones, toss into jar of tap water, ignore for 4 weeks only changing water like 3 times.

The Transplant

When I finally decided to try and save them, knowing this was my only chance to keep the Genetics alive, the leaves had lost nearly all their green color.

The water was disgusting, I swapped it out the day of transplant before putting them into soil. Their roots were a tangled mess, so I just transplanted all of the NBxP clones as one whole glob of plants.

The wedding cake clones were interesting, barely any roots, except a few strong hearty ones. I grabbed the healthiest and chucked it into dirt, I knew she'd make it, I dubbed her unkillable for a reason.

Put some Rootwise Mycrobe Complete down into the transplant hole, watered in.

The earthboxes are filled with soil that has been used twice, but I mixed all 3 earthbox containers in a large bin adding ammendments. Then sprinkled cover crop seeds and laid over the Blueberry Cupcakes stalk all torn and chopped up on top for mulch.

Improvement.

Top watering only. At this point we'll consider them saved, just need to decide what to do with this tent now that I have reamended the soil and got some vegetation to chop and drop.

I don't think I can flower the NBxP like this. There's about 5-9 clones that are all tangled up together in the center. I may take clones, then plant into the neighboring earthboxes and wait for everyone to catch up after culling the tangled mess. But I want to run the NBxP in the big bed some day too. Probably next round, so maybe I'll take clones and wait.

For the wedding cake, I'll take a cutting and keep that going in the mother tent. I have flowered it twice in total, it was from my first grow ever, and I've tried to kill this thing like 3 times and it just keeps coming back. So I keep it.

These are just kind of running in the background. Life gets busy, they are still revegging, no need to mess about too much.

And we are caught up. Still just revegging in the background while I build-up some mulch material in the other beds.

I'm still tossing the idea around of flowering in this tent. I known the T/S 22 from ACINFINITY work well on their own in a 2x2. But that's not nearly enough coverage in a 4x4.

Wedding cake is fine, as always. Kind of big now.

NBxPi is still wonky. Had a cut of it just get harvested outdoors and it hermed outdoors. Wasn't my grow so I dont have full details. Something to note though.

Super Buff Cherry clones taken and kept in here. Holy shit, I hate those little peat pots. Need to get a bunch of smaller plastic containers for clones. Or an aerocloner since I suck as keeping clones healthy.

Popped 2 autos for this tent, GummiBear by Atlas and Skunk Breath by Dream Beans (both freebies) . Never ran autos before, but I guess we'll roll the dice in the spare earthboxes and see how they do. They popped after 2 days in a damp paper towel. Strong little tap roots. Put into the peat containers (plan to very quickly transplant them so I don't foresee any issues using them this time), and they were standing tall by the end of the next day. So far, I'm pleasantly surprised.
