Hella Jelly and Donutz Triploid 4 days into flower in the private stash/test tent. Fingers crossed and eyes peeled. My first from seed by the way after growing from clones for years. Learned the joy and stress of popping beans and caring for seedlings. Next up is Orange Creampop and OG Kush Triploid. Outdoor is Jack Herer, 9 Pound Hammer, Holy Kush, Hella Jelly, Pure Kush, Bruce Banner, and GMO Cookies all from clone. Still getting bombed on Notorious THC(Ghost of Von Humboldt x Caramel Cream x Humboldt Frost)that yielded incredibly and convinced me to switch to coco as a grow medium.

You may also consider putting other plants between your grow tent and outdoor garden to help prevent pest migration. I use mint, lemongrass, and lavender plants outside my doors and windows that are fragrant and put out essential oils of their own which seems to help prevent pests. They smell good, provide color and variety, are a cover for why you may have so much gardening equipment coming to your home, and are a simple tool for pest prevention.

I walk around my lung room in yoga pants and the CO2 increases every time. I assume it’s my plants way of applause. Using an AC Infinity CO2 controller/monitor with no additional CO2 hooked up yet. Twerking gets my CO2 up to 1150PPM. Yoga pants never lie😀.

I have mine in the flower tent now getting acclimated to the higher light intensity. One Donuts Triploid next to 1 Hella Jelly in a 2 x 4. Still on 18 hours light cycle but that starts to get cut slowly over the next 2 weeks. Vegging the Hella Jelly a bit taller so I’ll have to cut clones and cut back the Donuts Triploid.

I made the switch from sphagnum moss to coco with 30% perlite and, “I’m in love with the coco!” I’ll never switch back after my most recent harvest! I found the root growth to be far superior in my side-by-side small test experiment and made the change instantly. Cheap coco is where you will run into Cal/Mag problems. Buying coco that is washed and buffered is what you want. There are many brands that are made for cannabis. I use Happy Trees Premium Coconut Coir, but there are many good brands out there like Canna Coco. I had zero Cal/Mag issues throughout 9 and a half weeks of flower for a large Notorious THC plant that I was extremely happy with both the roots and fruits, and I credit a lot of that to listening to YouTube videos of the DGC show and the positive results I was seeing/hearing about. It’s great for seedlings if you don’t over water. The color change it makes when wet and dry makes it easy to determine when to water and makes it easy to teach. Over watering is probably the biggest mistake new growers make so if I have to have someone come over and water my gardens it’s easy to teach them how and when to water/feed. I absolutely love it and will use it until something better comes along. For me and my grow style it just works so much better for me. Hope this helps you out with your decision.

I have one Donuts Triploid and one Hella Jelly vegged, topped once, and ready to go into a 4×2 within the next week to 10 days after I harvest my Notorious THC and Holy Kush. I believe the Donuts strain itself has the small hermming/intersex traits issues and perhaps making that strain into a Triploid strain may have not been the best choice. A much more developed strain may have avoided this issue-or maybe not. Blueberry Muffin or their PPD may have been better choices. I really don’t know. Donutz Triploid has blown me away as a plant so far to be honest. In Veg it’s shown a very vigorous growth pattern. I have lots of supplemental lighting and am adding underlighting in my test tent as I have noticed with my plant that she really doesn’t like low levels of light. She’s greedy and I think she wants a higher DLI. I’m just arrogant enough to think I can pull off growing her indoors without any game-changing issues for me. A single bud with nanners won’t bother me at all. Seeds? Seen it before, will see it again. I popped one seed and it germinated with zero issues. Been a joy to grow so far. Gets transferred from her 3 gallon pot to a 7 gallon soon. I have OG Kush Triploid seed and Orange Creampop seeds for my next runs following the Donuts Triploid and Hella Jelly this run. I truly believe that HSC changed the Donuts Triploid web page to recommended for outdoor only because of how stretchy/leggy she can get with long internodal spacing that wouldn’t yield well in an indoor environment with limited canopy height. I still personally feel very comfortable growing one single Donuts Triploid next to one single Hella Jelly in a small test environment. You have to decide the risk/benefit ratio for yourself.

Jesus OG by Subcool? I grew that in 2013 I think and it was my favorite strain to grow and smoke. Very trippy visuals for me. It was high in THCV. Enjoy it man, I haven’t seen a cut of that in years.

Cooler temps and lower light intensity in late flower is “crop steering”. You sir stumbled from bro-science onto plant science. Your instincts are correct. Is this what a “Green Thumb” is? You may have it. I’m still blown away by all the growers the DGC has and how smart/creative they all are. So glad @bnr made this site happen! It’s like being inside a library of (alleged)experienced cannabis growers.

Thank you so much for posting about the 5 week stretch, it will help those who follow behind like myself. Really really appreciate it, you helped my next run for certain!
