Things are going smoothly. 2 of the Carebears are a bit small, but I think they may have been a little underwatered. SNxPP (top left) is looking like a Strawberry Nuggets leaning broadleaf/indica so far which is what I was hoping for!
New Grower Hog's First Perpetual Garden
- Thread starter Hog_M@Gundy
- Start date
Sorry for the lack of updates the last couple weeks. Been dealing with my health and a bit neglectful of the grow. Ave of the Giants and PTK both went a little herm and I've been plucking nanners the last couple weeks. Looks to have stopped and I dont think much pollen got spread around, but just being ready or some seeds in this batch...
Otherwise things are going OK. PTK has been really slow to start forming buds, probably combo of low PPFD stuffed in the corner and I think being a Paki it's not super thrilled with the extra moist soil in the Earthbox. It smells incredible and is starting to chunk up ever so slightly. Should make excellent hash even if it doesn't yield a ton.
Dread Bread #1 is super chunky and smells like mango/citrus gumdrops.
Avenue of the Giants is a stunner!
Headband x Bubblegum is hiding back in the corner and i can't get a good pic. But, it's got some nice chunky buds, super sticky despite being overshadowed by Dread Bread.
Thanks for following along!

Well, out of 7 plants I've got 1 confirmed male, 5 females, and one that still hasn't shown but looks like a male. Was going to keep them small in these 1/2 gal containers, but now thinking I'll move 3 females (SNxPP, RBF, and 1 CB) into a multipot situation to give then a little more root space/nutrients for making seeds. I know, should've done it sooner, but I'll just treat it like transplant stress test for the genetics I'll be working with (how's that for rationalization, lol)
Been lax on updating lately. Have had timer issues on top of the power outages early in flower, which caused some accidental reveg and weird flower structures. Some huge flowers weighing down branches on a couple, but worried about mold as they still seem to have 3+ weeks to go. Avenue should be ready for harvest in about a week, just kinda waiting for the heat to break. Should be a good yield from this run, but a PITA to trim. Ill be looking into making FECO/RSO, and of course a bunch of hash and rosin this round.

Slacking on updates, but I Chopped Avenue of the Giants last Thursday and its in Grove bags.
Tonight I took down the 2 Dread Breads. Despite issues, I'll have plenty of bud to get me through to next harvest. Still 2 plants left to go: Pine Tar Kush and Headband x Bubblegum

Pine Tar Kush and Headband x Bubblegum are Chopped and drying. Looking like they'll be mostly for dry ice/bubble hash, while Dread Bread and Ave will be for smokable flower.
The Dread Breads are awaiting a final trim before going in to grove bags. Super strong acrid/sour + citrus/mango nose and flavor. Great sandy resin, shoukd make excellent quality bubble hash. Solid hybrid effects, moderate pain relief and good mood/focus enhancement without being speedy.
Ave of the Giants is probably the best I've grown so far! Gas and Overripe Berry scents make people say 'goddam gimme some of that' when I crack a jar, and the flavor translates. I think that's the main quality difference I see between photos and autos: the smell+flavor translation (though my dry process has been over 10 days this time which could be the reason) I think maybe the longer veg/flower times allows the plant to make less Volatile forms of terpenes and cannabinoids, but who really knows.
Sorry I've been inactive for awhile, definitely ready for a break from growing. I'll be throwing it into high gear mid October with a photo tent, auto tent, and my little pollen chucking tent.
Once I finish the 2x4 autos I'll close this journal. Been a solid 15 months of perpetual growing, and I've learned so much! Thanks to everyone who has followed along amd offered advice!
