Desert Rose

Hello and welcome to the log for Desert Rose.

Let’s dive right in..

Currently running two rooms with two tents in each for dual-perpetuals. Room one houses the clones, keepers, and new fem seeds while room two hunts all reg seeds whose keepers and clones move to room one.

The primary goal of room two is cycling as fast as possible and identifying the high potentials to flower and be cloned. Runs start with between 18 to 30 seeds and are narrowed down to 4-8 fems to flower and up to two of the nicest males to keep for collecting from.

The primary goal of room one is to collect a wide variety of strong and/or unique structures, terp profiles, potency, effects, and beauty. At any given time room one can flower 16 plants and hold another 16-25 clones/keepers depending on size.

Here is the setup..

Room 1:
Flower:
4.5x4.5 Summit Grow Labs Tent
CaliLightWorks SS1100UVB and Controller
Veg:
3x3 Gorilla Grow Tent
Homemade Vero29 Cobs, 120-360W

Room 2:
Flower:
2x4 Mars Hydro Tent
Homemade HLG V1 Boards, 120-240W
Veg:
2x4 Mars Hydro Tent
Mars Hydro SP250

Hoping to get a tiny CaliLightWorks SS275 to replace the homemade Cobs and have full spectrum control and the same lights for the entirety of their lives. The boards are perfect in the 2x4 for shorter stretching plants but underwhelming with stretchier runs. Ideally would like to try rearranging the Cobs for a run in the 2x4 for a leggier run.

Running GH Flora Trio with CalMag, Diamond Nectar, Liquid and Dry Koolbloom at 5.9pH in coco and fabric pots to flower. Square plastic pots are used for clones and veg. The most recent 2x4 flower run was done with Gaia Green organics in half promix half coco. Some nice differences were spotted but overall could’ve been done much better. For now the GH Flora regime will be run, though Gaia will be revisited soon.

Photos and strain details will be up shortly!

Thank you for stopping in. If you have any tips, questions, or comments please feel free to post. Hope to see you all around!

Nice setup you got going on, sounds like a full time job.

One of my personal favourites and top keepers, Angel Cake Cut from In-House Genetics. These were freebies and two were popped. Both were fems and one was kept.

This girl shattered the yield record per area she took up. It wasn’t even close. One of the most satisfying grows to date. She showed vigour, she had a perfect medium stretch, and had some of the nicest finished buds with big swollen calyxes. The smoke is very heavy with a mild cake/cookie taste and fruity/floral terps. The effect is immediate and relaxing and seems to almost creep into a more powerful effect over the first 20 minutes. You can sleep on it well but does not force you to want to sleep. Very floaty feeling, limbs were light. Stacks on itself well but once you let it go the burnout will put you down like few others..

Looks heavenly, nice job!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I’ll try to do a few updates this weekend :D

The next reg drop just went down and almost everyone is up!! As of now still waiting on Gorilla Hammers and Peanut Cookies to come up as I dropped them late to fill a few open spots..

2x S’mores - 3rd Coast (First Dosi cross ever, how is that possible? Very stoked!! Dosidos x Oreoz)
5x Chocolate Lava Cake - Katsu (Chocolate Diesel x Hotcakes)
2x LA Pure - Hazeman
5x BM x Sour Grapes - Hazeman (Bright Moments from Gage x Jojo’s Sour Grapes)
5x Ambrosia - Jordan of the Islands (Burmese x God Bud)
2x Scott’s OG - Rare Dankness (Triangle Kush x Rare Dankness #1)
3x Colossal Cookies - In-House (PCG Cookies x Goliath)
1x Purple Jazz - In-House (Animal Blues x Purple Hulk)
5x Gorilla Hammer - Freak (GG4 x Blackberry Hammer)
6x Peanut Cookies - Promedz (Tropicanna Cookies x PBB)

Phase one is get 32 beans up and going! So far so good, last check was at 24 up.

Clones that made the cut this run outside of TVP include:
Frosted Kush - Jungle Boys
Double Agent - In-House
Agent Cake Cut - In-House
Deluxe Sugarcane - In-House
Garlic Storm - In-House
Crumpets - Cookie Fam
Gorilla Zkittlez - Barney’s Farm
Kush Mints x Strawberry Banana - PCG
Sour Banana Sherbet - Crockett's


And the bolded will be cloned for another run at least. Angel Cake is great but hasn’t performed up to her maiden run sadly. Frosted Kush is vigorous with good yields but seems to have trouble staying happy and has a bit of wonky structure. Garlic Storm is beautiful and a fantastic smoke but the plant is a lot of work as the arms are skinny and like to stay tight to the mains. Still up in the air about Crockett’s too, I struggle to yield with them but damn the smoke is next to none!

That’s who is kicking it in the big tent and will be flipped in 10 days. So that’s room 1 with the Platinum x PKM taking up the 3x3 for now. Updates on room 2 to come.

Seed check: 27 up now and the last 5 spots will go to the happiest Gorilla Hammers and Peanut Cookies. Thank you grow bros

I’ll try to be more chill and not get banned again, apologies.

Let’s resume. Only clones still around are the best..

Platinum x PKM - In-House
My top 1 in almost every category. 60-63 day finisher. Hits hard and lasts long, nuff said.

Banana Bread #3/9/12 (#3 and 12 pictured) - Freak
Monster yielders, 60 day finish, best smoke of my life. Dawn, high noon, dusk, anytime. Simply sensational. Spicy, baby diaper, rotten fruits, terp party.

Banana Berry Pie #1/4 (#4 pictured) - Rose
Cantaloupe smells, 63-70 day finisher, great yields with exceptional resin production, smooth smoke. Relaxing, floaty, and sedative effects.

Went 5/6 on the revegging of the BB and BBP's. Still waiting on one.

This video was from a couple weeks ago but it shows how I set them up, the first new growths, and some successful ones that have been cleaned up and made ready to clone.

Reveg steps:

-Chop plant while leaving stem and a few lower nodes with buds intact.
-Chop root ball (I just broke it with my hand) to about half the size of the destination pot and run under tap water for 30 seconds.
-Place root ball in new pot and fill with dirt. Amend or feed as any other veg plant you’ve just up-potted. Time between waterings will be longer, don’t let mold build.
-24/0 lighting, seedling lighting is sufficient. Be sure there is adequate air circulation. Mist 1-3 times daily and be sure to use your preventatives or they will rot.

Most come out proper and can be cloned about a week or two after the healthy green appears (2-8 weeks). You probably don’t want to flower the revegged stalk. Sometimes they come out looking a bit mutant-like but they will grow back normally soon.

Went off on a tangent there, pardon me, but I thought it was good information to send out there.

Have a fantastic day, everyone <3

I’m still alive. Been busy af and didn’t grow over the winter but I’m back at it cracking some beans in a week or two! Only plant I have left is the Platinum x Platinum Kush Mints from In-House. Been holding onto some Sour Diesel Bx4 pollen from Top Dawg that I’ll probably use on a couple branches as well. Wish I had a couple of the others but I barely had the energy to keep this one around. Setting it up now to fill the 3x3 tent again...
