3-Way Nutrient Royal Rumble

[No3odiesShad0w]

The Chop Party PT.2

On the chopping block today is the Sour Orange by Super Natural Seeds and my cross, The Terpy

The first two trays are the sour orange and the remaining four are all Terpy.

The sour orange wasn't very sticky but instead the trichomes are so big it literally felt and sounded like I was cutting through sand the whole entire time. The smell of the bud isn't particularly great I mean it's not bad but it smells like diesel mixed with kerosene and then somebody threw a bunch of oranges in there. The kerosene diesel part is definitely pungent and has a weird kind of smell to it but with the size of those trichomes I'm excited I can't wait to try it. It's definitely going to be a unique orange experience

Check out Tray number 3 that tray has huge massive buds each one is almost the size of my fist. Not only did the general hydroponics absolutely kill it but at the same time it was just as easy as my organic grow. Sure mixing the gallon of water every 2 days was a little annoying, but All I did was pour it into the base and let the plants subirrigate it. Easy. And the results speak for themselves The plant is huge there's probably 8 oz there. Not only that but it's covered in so much frost and the terpenes are just off the chart. Everything about this plant just blue away all the expectations that I had. And she's back for another grow in the next run. I'm going to see if those grow dots are worth anything by growing the Terpy. We've seen her in action with the organics we've seen her in action with the general hydroponics We know what she's capable of. Let's see if the grow dots could do the same.

Still have the purple punch, which still has absolutely no smell no matter how much I shake it or poke it or squeeze it it just doesn't smell like anything. Frosty looks beautiful it's going to take some amazing photos that's for sure but I'm just perplexed that the fact that there's no smell.

The Birthday Cake, What a weird start because at first I hated the way it smelled It smelled so bad. It smelled like off-brand floor cleaner. Now it reminds me of the way Wedding Cake smells. It's got like this cakey vanilla kind of smell that's overwhelmed by this like minty kind of fresh green tea kind of smell. It's hard to explain, just like wedding cake. It's got this mishmash of smells and flavor combos. I never had birthday cake before but it's turning out to be pretty promising because wedding cake is on my list of top five favorites.

8 days from now, I'll be chopping the last 2. If I had the space, I would have possibly chopped the birthday cake today because all the trichomes are cloudy but the hairs look like they're still growing. They haven't even curled. I wonder if this is one of those cultivars that doesn't exactly have all the hairs on it curl up and brown up. It's got 8 days to finish up, by then I'm sure it'll be extra ready!

I can't wait for all these new flavors. I'm drooling already!

Nice haul you have there. GH trio is the easiest way to go imo. Great results. I once had a harvest that smelled like lysol cleaner. If I had not known it was not somehow contaminated, would not have ever touched it. Those buds were very potent. Good work.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Ckbrew it's a lot bigger than I expected. It didn't look too big in the tents but it filled up the Cannatrol. The 2x3 tent is begging to get chopped down. 3 days to go

[No3odiesShad0w]

Another busy week. Took down the 2x4. Just waiting for the 2x3 to be done and I'll take it down too.
4 out of 6 plants are ready to go. Got the
S1 by Ethos (end game # 5 x end game # 5)
End Game # 5 x XXX # 20 by Ethos
Fruity Freak ..by Hi-Elevation Genetics.. FINALLY!!! After 10 seeds, we finally have a mutant that is hopefully feminized. Fingers crossed. This has been the most difficult cultivar to start growing. Hopefully this is the one. I wanna get that time lapse.
The Terpy by Me to test the grow dots and see if they're 👍 or 👎

2 more seeds will be popped, both autos, at the time of planting
Strawberry OG by Ethos
Supernova by Super Natural Seeds

It got up to 83F ( 27C) this week so I had to put in the air conditioner. I'm not going to lose my work. CHECK OUT THAT PURPLE PUNCH!!! Those flowers look awesome with all those orange hairs and all that frost everywhere 🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍 so beautiful. I wasn't about to let that work go to waste.
Only 2 more days until I chop the last tent. I resolved the light leaks as best as I could. Just waiting to get the next grow on

[No3odiesShad0w]

That's it! Part 3 of the Great Trim. Last 2 plants are chopped and put into the Cannatrol.

The 2x4 tent got 254g in total 😮😮. 106g for The Terpy, 96g for the Grape Caper and 68g for the Sour Orange. That's a PRETTY good haul from just 1 tent. The 2x3 is shaping up to be a very similar amount

The first 2 trays are the Purple Punch and the bottom 3 are the Birthday Cake. I also got a decent amount of sand from the trim process.

This was a very interesting experiment. The general Hydroponics gave me 100g from a 3 gallon pot. That.... THAT'S FREAKING IMPRESSIVE. There's no way in hell I'd be able to get that amount from a 3 gallon pot of organic fertilizer. Maybe a 7-10 gallon pot, sure, but a 3 gallon? Idk

The other bud is sealed away in the Grove bags while the current buds go through their 8 days cycle.

I'm almost done with the next video documenting the last month of Bloom and some of the chop. That will be up soon and I'll also be announcing the Giveaway item. There's only 54 subscribers on the channel so odds are good of winning. Slowly growing the channel and for the next grow, I'm gonna do 2 separate videos for the final match of the 3 way nutrient rumble and I wanna do a how to grow under $350. I'm having fun with it even though it's a lot of extra work doing all the time lapse and then the b-roll plus all the editing and voice over. I did want to learn the process though.

The next batch is READY to go. I'll have it started up by next week hopefully. Having an actual job takes up a chunk of time I used to have. Not only do I have to prep the containers and fertilize them, but I have to record the process which adds an extra level of work. The time lapse are great video diaries, ngl I love having them to look back at and see how they grew, not just my notes in my notebook. There's pros and cons, anyhow, this thread is all but done.

Only one post left after this. Final weight and smoke report. Everything else is going to be in a new thread. 🫡 Signing off on another successful run. Lots of delicious flavors. I've already tried the grape caper and I'm KEEPING THAT CLONE 🦄. I'll leave it at that for now.

[No3odiesShad0w]

That's it! Part 3 of the Great Trim. Last 2 plants are chopped and put into the Cannatrol.

The 2x4 tent got 258g in total 😮😮. 101g for The Terpy, 93g for the Grape Caper and 64g for the Sour Orange. That's a PRETTY good haul from just 1 tent. The 2x3 is shaping up to be a very similar amount

[No3odiesShad0w]

Not for nothing, this a great money saving hobby. I can't imagine having to pay dispensary prices for what's in my Cannatrol.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Some good numbers there for the 2x4 tent. If I get 196g (195.5g technically), I'll have 1 pound from this grow. I've come so so so close but haven't gotten it yet. We got 258g so far. If not this grow, maybe the next grow. I'll have 6 plants. I better get over 1 pound 😅

[Bluey]

Nice looking buds and yes, great yields.

General consensus is coco produces around 20% more than soil but you can go smaller on the pot with good frequency fertigation.

Nice one #3

[No3odiesShad0w]

See the only thing I'm noticing with Coco is that the taste isn't as strong as I'm used to. Like the Terpy, in peat or had a much stronger taste than it does in Coco. Sure there's more yield but it's not as flavorful. I wonder if it's the same thing like with strawberries You could get big giant strawberries the size of your hands but they taste like water meanwhile the little tiny strawberries are the ones that are loaded with the most flavor.

[No3odiesShad0w]

436g 😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣. That elusive pound still eludes me 🤣🤣 still got some amazing numbers there and some amazing variety.

[No3odiesShad0w]

The bud is put away nice and neat into the Cannatrol. Labeled in different colors for ease of selection. Now it's time to get down to taste testing. I'll have a smoke report on 4/20

In the mean time, my ginger plant HATES the humidity situation in the house. I need to figure something out. The bag is only a temp solution.... But the solution also needs to work for when I plant it outside in the window planters. I need to have a humidity dome on it.

My Christmas/Easter cactus is FINALLY doing better. Apparently it hated the soil it was in. Doing so much better with the Jack's Gritty Mix. It's exploding with new growth on all sides.

My Venus fly traps got fed and I noticed that the remains in one of the traps also had a fungus growing on it. It was sharing a meal with the fly trap? Just looked like a zombie fly so I took the opportunity to practice some macro photography.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Nature is wild ♥️

[No3odiesShad0w]

Wow I never posted my Smoke Report on 4/20
I took a bunch of edibles and tried making a video that came out poorly due to turntable issues.

But here it is. The last post for this thread.

💨 THE SMOKE REPORT 💨

We're going to start with the worst.

Sour Orange by Super Natural Seeds
2/10
Yield - It yielded very poorly coming in at 64g only. She seemed so promising. I just want familiar with the genetics. There was little stretch and she was next to a giant beast so lighting may not have been ideal plus, She was behind that tent flap and not getting the extra air movement from the room fan.

The Smell - I quite like the smell. It's got this oily rag fumes smell with orange peel boot shine. Very heavy on the chemical smell. Very unique. Like it legit smells like an oil bucket. 🤣 Different kind of gas

Trichomes - The trichomes on her are huge. Sand sized and crunch under the scissors like cutting through sand. Everything about it seems promising.

Vape - The smell doesn't carry over taste. It's very gassy and fuely then on the second or 3 puff, the taste is all but gone. On the larger buds, you get a bit of orange peel gas but most of it was just popcorn.

High - Not much of a high. Has to be smoked as the first high of the day if you want to get any effect at all. The effect that it does have is a bit stimulating. Good if you need to focus and do stuff. Very clear headed. That's probably why I don't feel much. The cerebral buds don't do much for me and if they do, it's usually an anxiety attack.

Overall - Meh, I'm not counting her out just yet. The smell and trichomes were nice. It may have been grower error in this case and an unfamiliar cultivar. There's potential there. I'm growing a Supernova Auto from Super Natural Seeds. They seem to specialize in autos, maybe I'll get better results there.
The only thing that's keeping this at a NO is the high. I don't like the head high. I need the body high to help manage pain. She's got a lot of Amber and it's still not doing much for the pain.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Next up is a toss up between the Purple Punch and the Birthday Cake. Both had things I liked and both had things I hated.

Purple Punch by b/w label
4/10

Yield - She came in at 66g. She was a small plant but all 66g of this plant is SOLID, FULL SIZED nuggets. The grinder has a real hard time with this one. It's like trying to grind stone in a metal grinder. Not much popcorn unlike the Sour Orange which was almost all popcorn. Still poor performance.

The Smell - None. It smells like a herbaceous plant. Just smells green. I kid you not, the whole entire time that I was growing her I kept doing leaf rubs and touching the buds and it literally had no smell. None. No gas No grape No punch. Nada

Trichomes - out of all the buds that I grew this one has the best bag appeal. Looks absolutely stunning beautiful orange hairs trichomes that are just shining like diamonds on there. It's the most beautiful flower. It's as photogenic as those great balls of fire that I grew. Stunner of a looker. SO BIZARRE.

Vape - Still no taste. No smell. It's a little effervescent on the first pull that's probably the THC vaporizing and whatever else. No taste.

High - Fantastic high. Great all over body high. Knocks out my pain almost instantly. Great for just relaxing after a hard day.

Overall - This one's weird because I love purple punch Just putting that out there. It gets me the body high that I enjoy, knocks out all my pain and normally tastes amazing while also looking like a 10/10. This one though totally missed the mark on taste and you know I GROW FOR THE TERPS I love great tasting flower that's why I don't combust. You lose so much flavor. This flower has no flavor not the high is great. This is a perfect one to roll up in a joint and enjoy. Nothing to taste but the effects are fantastic and it looks fantastic. Purple punch is also a known yielder. Mine just grew small because the grow dots petered out halfway through.




Birthday Cake by Blimburn
4/10

Yield - This one came in at a nice 112g. Birthday Cake is a known stretchy yielder, and she did just that. From a tiny plant at flip, she stretched like crazy and managed to give 112g of fluffy flower. It's still solid but not dense like the purple punch. More manageable for a grinder or breaking up by hand. Fantastic yield and Al the buds, down to the bottom, are HUGE

The Smell - At first, she smelled like the organic natural bug spray. You know The one with the Rosemary, basil, citronella extracts. Yeah, hated it. As she kept growing, she developed some vanilla and cake, yeasty overtones that ended up making it smell like vanilla mint cake? If that's a thing🤔 Very minty cake

Trichomes - It's a bit of a wild west affair when it comes to the trichomes on this one. Because she was also very hairy and leafy at the time of chopping there's trichomes just all over the place. Even when you use a microscope it looks all sorts of crazy and the trichomes look just as wild some of them look bent over and broken other ones look really nice and well-shaped. Just a whole mix of things.

Vape - She's just as minty as she smells. It's like gassy mint with some citrus when vaping. Not too crazy about the taste. Still has that bug spray kinda flavor.

High - The high is okay. It's got a bit of a body high, it's got a bit of a head high. It's down the middle. I think I prefer Wedding Cake over Birthday Cake but still a very solid high.

Overall - Yeah, I will be growing this one in the future, but from a different breeder 😅. I don't like Blimburn. The yield and the high were good but the taste and structure were lacking. Though, more likely, I'll get

[No3odiesShad0w]

Number 2 is my baby, The Terpy.
7/10

I'll be brief here.

Yield - For a 3 gallon, 70/30 Coco perlite mix, I got 101g of dense, large nuggets from top to bottom. Almost no popcorn. Solid yield for so little substrate. Kudos General Hydroponics. I'm impressed

The Smell - She certainly smells different than she does when I grow her in peak based organics. She's less spicy and more citrusy. Less peppery but more like the ass end of a skunk. You can smell her blocks away. Again super impressed.

Trichomes - The trichomes are a little bit of a mess. This isn't some highly selected cultivar so there's a lot of trichomes but some of them are bent and crooked some look fine some don't have heads. It's just a big mix but there's a lot of them. The structure is also top-notch. Nice solid buds The grinder has a hard time with them. As soon as you crack them open the whole house just smells like the ass end of a skunk that's wearing a citrus air freshener.

Vape - Very strong citrus flavor, very strong gas flavor, very strong funk for pull after pull after pull. Long lasting flavors.

High - last time I chopped her early and it was too stimulating so this time I let her go and she had about like 10% Amber maybe a little bit more and it got her to where I wanted it. It still gives you a nice clear headed high but with a real strong body high underneath it. It gets me social it gets me motivated it gets me happy. It's definitely got that blue dream in there. I love it.

Overall - there's a reason why I keep her. I like the high and the growth is fantastic. She could take some abuse. I've also been selecting for the branches that have the most amount of 3 pointed leaves and each time I grow her, The three-pointed leaves stick around for longer and longer into the grow. Eventually I'm going to get her down to just three leaves for the whole entire grow. It's kinda fun. I'm gonna create my own little freak.

[No3odiesShad0w]

The winner winner is the
Grape Caper by Purple Caper Seeds
9/10

Yield - She's looked like she was going to give me 70g. She was all stem. SO STRETCHY She ended up giving me 93g of super dense amazing buds. Couldn't believe it.

The smell - She smells like Grape gummy worms on the plant. If you disturb her, she gets really gassy smelling. When I was trimming her, I bought and built a computer for a friend about 3 days after I trimmed her and that computer smelled like weed for 2 weeks after he took it home. The smell is SO LOUD. My whole apartment, MY FREAKING IPAD CASE FOR WORK smelled like weed for days. That smell permeated the freaking paint in my house. Holy hell the smell.

Trichomes - the trichomes on her are beautiful when you look under the microscope they are all perfect little rows of mushrooms. Frosty like little diamonds all over the multi colored flower. The structure of this one is crazy. It gets so stretchy and so lanky I'm pretty sure this one would do really well in a trellis net situation.

Vape - Amazing amazing amazing. The flavor varies from so much grape gas that it tastes like licorice. As you keep hitting the vape, the flavor mellows to a nice Concord grape flavor and then finishes off on a light berry taste. It's delicious all the way through. Sometimes I'll be sitting there for 15 minutes hitting the same bowl because it still has flavor. Amazing amazing amazing

High - Near perfect. It's got a great body high It's got a good head high it gets you giggly it gets you happy it gets you creative but it could also couch lock you and get you super sleepy. It's great. If it's the first high of the day it's going to get you active and creative but if you've already smoked that same day, it's going to put you out and get you ready for bed.

Overall - I'm so glad I took clones of this one. The most annoying part is that cloning this one is incredibly difficult. I have never in my life had this many problems with cloning cannabis plants. Normally all you got to do is just stick it in the dirt and it does its thing. You don't even need to give it any kind of additives or hormones but with this one no matter what I do no matter what I give it it seems like it takes a month and a half for it to even get roots. Horrible cloning plant but well worth the struggle.
