2023 Circle of Excellence
Finally getting around to starting this thread... I recently received G13Haze, Critical Skunk, Ortega and Mango Widow from successful auction bids and decided to start up the latter first.
Please bare with me as I try to transcribe my notes.
Soaked 10 seeds in distilled water on April 3rd @ 4:20pm and were then placed in a paper towel on April 4th @9:30am.
On April 5th @ 7:30am 10/10 had germinated and went into blue Solo keg cups with 100% Canna coco and placed under an HLG 65w V2 4000k led.
By 9:30pm on the 6th of April 9/10 had sprouted and the 18/6 veg cycle had begun (6am on 12am off) the 10th seed would sprout on the 7th.
All plants were watered w/ Poland Spring bottled water till the 8th when the feeding regimen began.
Feed for the next 10 days was 3g/gal 5-11-26 Hydro Special, 2g/gal YaraLiva CalciNit 15.5-0-0 and 1g/gal Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) @ec1.7 ph6.2 (Jack's 321 w/o the Jack's)
The first batch of feed had 2ml/gal of Tribus Original added and then 1ml/gal every 7 days as per Greengene's regimen.
On the 18th of April the amounts were bumped up to 3.6g/gal - 2.4g/gal - 1.2g/gal which brought the ec up to 1.9/2.0ish and ph was lowered to 5.8
Also on the 18th ... 90% Fulvic Acid was added @ 0.8g/gal and the plants were misted w/ Agisil16h @ 1/2tsp/gal for a one time silica boost.
On the 29th all were transplanted into 100% Canna coco in 2gal fabric pots w/ Xtreme Gardening's Mykos placed in each hole and sprinkled on the roots.
They were vegged for 8 days in a 5x5 tent under an MarsHydro fce 4800 and switch to 12/12 on May 6th.
3 plants were culled and I was left with 6 females and 1 male. The plant in the front left is the male. Here's a top down look at him.
By far my favorite plant of the 10 in appearance. The photo doesn't do it justice but there was a blue ting to the leaves since early veg. He ended up stretching 3 or 4x and was the most sativa looking of the bunch.
Pretty sure these are about 1 week after the switch to 12/12.
The above female was about 10 inches shorter than her sisters/brother.
And now for the pics taken today... day 26 of flower and day 1 of pollination (1 branch of each plant.)
The plan was to run these untopped and just see what they look like but the stretch was so beastmode I had to do my best with snapping a few and throwing a screen on top. Thankfully they take to snapping EXTREMELY well.
The People's Elbow and lil bow
Two distinct scents so far.. the first reminds me of a SSH cut I was gifted in early 2000s... sickly and ridiculously sweet. Not fruity but sweet... chef's kiss. The second is maybe more citrusy with some funk in the background? It's still early days so i'm sure they aromas will develop further.

I actually laughed out loud here at work. Love it! Great grow so far. Also your flowering buds are only a week or so ahead of my Shark Shock / Mango Haze and they’re crushing them in size! Very nice work
