Greases Pieces & Monkey Juice Journal

[RookieBuds]

Day 33v had to take them off the booster seat & give each plant more space.

They look droopy because lights-off is in 30 mins

Monkey Juice is gonna need a #2 pot, it's starting to get too dry within 24hrs which for me typically signifies that an up-potting is needed. Greases is still decently saturated at 24hrs so it'll stay in a #1 pot for another week or two.

Those are filling in nicely @RookieBuds . That recent haircut didnt phase em a bit!

Day 37v

Money Juice in the #2 pot, and the Greases Pieces got training ties today.


Structurally, both plants are doing very well, are almost fully symmetrical & both have responded well to their toppings

 

[RookieBuds]

Day 40v I believe, they're BEASTING after training.

(A small plant in the bottom left is just tagging along)

Greases will get a transplant this weekend

Greases Pieces finally got up-potted @ day 44v from seed drop

Roots coming out of #1 pots

Honestly not as dire as I thought it was gonna be, coulda been fine for another week but I'm trying to keep stuff linear, and Monkey Juice is EXPLODING right now.


Lookin' good in her new #2 pot . Some tie-downs, then back in the tent.

Beautiful! I have two 7 packs of greases pieces! I’m excited to see yours and how they finish!

 

[RookieBuds]

Here they are together, both eve of day 44v


Monkey Juice is huge by comparison, but we have about 3-4 more weeks before flip Greases might catch up a bit.

What do you run for nutrients? What kinda average harvests weights do you typically see?

I run Botanicare in coco medium

My harvest weights always vary because I pop a lot of seeds and deal with swinging phenotypes, lately I'd say I've been averaging 7oz per plant, I've had a couple in the 9oz range. If I had to guess right now, I'd say I'm fixin to get 8oz off the Monkey and 6-7 off the Greases just based on this size at this age for my setup

Nice! Those are respectable yields!

More than respectable.

Thanks, fellas to be honest my primary goal is uniqueness, a sort of "je ne sais quais"(?), not even potency but just that overall "WOW" factor. Overall yield is important but it's probably like #3 on my top 10 grow goals. I've had plants as low as 3-4oz that were vegged well over 10 weeks, because I often get stuck with an undesireablepheno or two, or three lol, it's all part of the game.

I know exactly what you mean, I’m looking forward to see how your greases pieces turn out!

Great looking plants man . Those monkey juice stretch pretty good . They surprised me . Was some damn fine smoke too

Day 47v and I had to top a bunch of the Monkey Juice branches:

looking forward to seeing this hit the finish line!

Week 8 since seed drop, and see, this is the kind of thing that bugs me about just yeeting my veg conditions: abysmally slow growth it's a problem of my own doing, and it's not an across-the-board problem but still, it bugs me.

Here, I'll show you. So again, mind you it's 56 days since dropping these seeds. ...

Greases Pieces after a defoliation and heavy lollipopping

Only 11, more like 11.5" to the tallest node

Healthy plant overall, has never shown any signs of stress or deficiency of any kind, but damn. C'mon girl.


On the flip side, we got the Monkey Juice. DEAR LAWD she loves to stretch. Have topped this plant many times & just did again today in efforts of bushing it out more and trying in vain to keep the height in check. Also after heavy cleanup.

Literally twice the size

And I put Greases on a booster seat again

Conditions as of this picture (about 20-30 mins after shutting the tent)

VPD as of this screenshot 1.58kpa highest hitting 1.77kpa for the day, 2.22 highest ever. Avg VPD I'd say 1.6ish, not the best for veg.

So yeah some plants are clearly more affected by it than others. But still, ZERO overall complaints on the genetics-end of things, the plants are generally healthy and both have showed zero signs of any stress or problems despite my constant testing of their will

 

[RookieBuds]

Oh and I don't have any space for clones yet, but I snuck a couple cuttings of the Monkey Juice

My wife will sometimes find these and she'll just let me roll with it. I tell her "I'm just seeing how long they take to pop roots I'm not planting them" and usually I don't plant them, but if I make room before these get trashed sometimes I keep em.
