Indoor Testing the eazyplug pyramid mini.

Update on Redball, it's only been three and a half weeks but they are nearly done, leftmost plant is very bendy and thin, middle plant is larger with more standard buds and the one on the right is somewhere between the two. The plant on the right is shorter with stems that tended to grow up rather than out, making a very tight plant, however I did not try to pull the branches apart and in fact did nothing other than defoliation which it required the entire grow, even though the leftmost plant had no defoliation at all, except when the leaves died.

3 x Master Bruce are also on the way, these are looking very much stockier which I am guessing must be the BP genetics.

Geez time is going by so fast.

Redball has turned out to be my favourite N.O so far being nice and stinky as it is. With three equally stinky phenos.

2 x Master Bruce just got hung yesterday at 12w with one still waiting another week. All were fairly small with similar characteristics to Blue Power especially the small one, however there were no genetic mutations and the frost density is even higher this will not be big harvest but fortunately my following run of 3 x Galaxy Brain are looking to be a better size.

So below are my 3 Galaxy Brain at d38, one is a nice large looking plant with perfect leaves and structure while the other two are both a bit smaller and have leathery bubbly and variegated leaves, and they have been like that from the first week. However they are growing OK and I left one of the two smaller ones untopped to see what it would do that is the one in the middle.

Below are the three Master Bruce and some earlier shots as well.

frosty as hell - beautiful plants!

@kfigerm cheers! they taste like perfumed soap and are the strongest NO so far.

At 7 weeks I confess that I was getting very angsty about the Galaxy Brain, barely any frost showing and they kind of looked a bit ordinary, but three weeks later and they have shown their breeding. They are the dankest of the dank, my whole room smells like dank, but the up close aromas are piney and delicious.

The two plants on the far left and right has textured bubbly leathery leaves from the beginning very similar to one of my banana purple punch which taught me not to worry about it. It must be genetic because it has remained constant on both plants throughout the grow while the middle plant had none of it.

The leftmost plant has surprisingly shot up past the middle plant and the one on the right which was not topped and looked like it would produce a better structure at one point has ended up convincingly showing me that it's better to top even a bad bean.

My Three SMQR all died at day 3, they didn't actually die they just stopped growing and I opened the plugs and the root has a brown spot at the end on all three. I have no idea what happened, I can only speculate that maybe there was too much h2o2 used. So I only had two left and made the third up with a Mango Isle, which was my first NO grow, and the first NO I have ordered again. Also in a mini pyramid is a white label CDB bean.

Update on the replacement SMQR which are almost 10w, they were tricky to manage because of the highest branching I've seen yet, but I was patient and did continuous small defoliation and gradually teased out the final shape which is nuggets of frosty goodness all the way down.

The Mango Isle that filled the third slot is growing very differently to my first grow, it was obvious from an early age she was going to be a runt, nevertheless it remains my favourite terp profile, still chunking up.

CBD White Widow was a bit of a surprise, was the largest of the four plants for quite some time, and she bulked up nicely. Strong lemon terps and gas. Not to my tase but then it's medicine for someone else. Still the buds were very pretty.

I have enough of an idea of Night Owl variation with my recent grows so with that information I am now growing three single strains. These ones are Cookies n Creamix, Bruce Banner #3 and Mondo Smash. I've settled on my new GP3 note ratio of 1:1:1 micro grow bloom, all the way from seedling to a couple of weeks into flower. Using about 1.8 EC but the plugs have been getting up to around 4 or 5 without any adverse effects.

These have grown a a pretty good clip and all three were topped on d15, they all have good internode spacing. Only three days after topping they are unrecognisable both under the canopy and at the topping.

I think I have proven that topping does not slow any part of an auto down not the new tip grow, and it in fact appears to speed up the lower branches. Three different strains.

Here we are at the world famous Eazyplug Testing Thread, where we are breaking new ground by testing a known bean in a used plug. A pretty decent size plant grew in this and yet I was able to dig it out and still just use a cube. This is because the plug tends to not encourage thick roots. The three shots because are just over a 12 hour period. At this stage I am considering whether to plant her out after a couple of weeks under the lights or maybe just grow her under lights the whole way but just four branches, nodes 2 and 3. I'll see how the current three are looking. Bruce Banner is looking like it possibly might not be that large in which case I could squeeze this Tre Lime in.
