Living Alien Sherb

RatmanJR Picked this bad boy up at my local dispo in Michigan. Immediately put in quarantine where she received neem drench and copper coating. After a day I moved in clone tent where she will chill for a week before transplant. Gave her some worm castings as she will be going into some living soil. Really looking forward to this grow. Sherb cake grows like crazy and Mac is powerful so this should be good. Also I’m sorry I don’t have any photos for this week. God bless!

RatmanJR Picked up this bad boy at the local dispensary. Writing this about 5 weeks in the future. I told them give me the worse one they had because I knew they’d bounce back. Is a cross between sherbcake and mac1. No one grows this but was made by a strange breeder. Apparently it’s killer. We will see.

RatmanJR Transplanted about two weeks ago and I believe I am having issues with calcium not 100% sure. Going to try a few different things and see what comes of it. Other than that going very well and vigorously. God bless!

RatmanJR Sorry for skipping a few weeks. Been struggling with what I thought was a calcium deficiency. Turns out it’s been light stress. Turned down the lights and she has been happy ever since. God bless

RatmanJR Skipping a few weeks and I apologize but it takes us to the present day at least. Plant growing extremely well. Just fimmed about 15 tops. Going to see how many colas I can push this thing too. Current growing by itself in a 15 gallon pot that has had the last 2 months to cook after its last harvest. This Is my automated tent so it simply as waters before it wakes up and before bed. I give it tea once a week. God bless Update May 19th: noticed some yellowing between veins very different from light stress from earlier in grow. Decided to give a dose of calcium and phosphorus and a good shot of micros. I might give it some epsom salts as well in case it is magnesium and not calcium. Will see how it responds!

RatmanJR Last week of vegging. Just did a decently sized defoliation. Plant has finally recovered from the really violent FILMing I did last week. Flipped to 12/12 today May 24th. Not sure what kind of stretch to expect but she’s got sherb in her so I’m expecting a large one. Because I’m flipping I top dressed with epsom salt, build a flower, craft blend, and big 6. I also watered in some cow cal so she gets a shot of instant phosphorus. By the time stretch is finished the build a flower and craft blend should hopefully start breaking down. In the meantime the cow cal and epsom will make sure she has cal mag and phosphorus. God bless

RatmanJR Plant growing phenomenally really filled out the entire net and ready to let her grow up for the next week or two. Making tea as of today May 31st. Tea is made of worm castings, a little craft blend, a little big 6, and some blackstrap molasses. I plan on watering her with this tea starting June 1st. I added some European night crawlers today. They looked dead when I got them but I added them to the pot and everyone disappeared so evidentially they are still kicking. Pot already has red wigglers for topsoil aeration these guys will help aerate deeper in the root zone It’s been 7 days since flip. It needs a defoliation but I always wait at least 14 days especially in living soil. I’ll do a heavy defoliation at day 14 and likely another smaller one on day 42. Really looking forward to see how this thing flowers. Really interesting strain. Picked it up from a really legit lab in Michigan. They have tissue cultures for most cannabis cup winners; this strain is a bit of a no namer though. Seems like it was bred by a gentlemen known as kick flip genetics, looking at his cuts he clearly has access to high quality genomes, must be a reason this lab decided this was worth producing. I’ll find out God bless Edit June 1st: Noticed what could be some PM on a singular lower leaf likely due to humidity in the 70s so decided to do a pretty heavy defoliation. Did a lollipop for the first time ever. With lower leaf mass being removed the humidity is sitting around 55 now. Interested to see if the lollipop actually pushes energy to those top buds. I hate to do a defoliation at this point in flower(7 days into stretch) but she’s got plenty of leaves left and should recover quick God bless

RatmanJR June 7th. 14 days from flip. Plant is growing really well. Showing pistal development and starting to see the flowers form. Even with that abusive defoliation I did last week it recovered within a few days. Did another defoliation today to expose many more bud sites, lower humidity slightly, and removed lower branches to focus energy up top. I’ll do one more small defoliation next week on day 21 to expose any bud sites that get covered up. And than on day 42 I’ll do my last defoliation which serves to reduce humidity Going to give some tea tmmr June 8th. Will be a super simply shot of molasses and worm castings. Might through some cow cal in for phosphorus but don’t think I need it. Really excited to see how these flowers develop. God Bless

RatmanJR June 14th. 21 days post flip. Plant is growing really really well. Had to do one last defoliation to get bud sites showing for the next few weeks. I’ll likely do one more around day 42 Ton of sites at the moment and I’m really excited. Expecting some hard dense nugs based on the spacing I’m seeing So far smelling like straight citrus gas. Really unique compared to most of the modern strains I’ve been growing. Will be giving it some tea tmmr on the 15th. 1 gallon of water mixed with some worm castings, molasses, and a little bit of big 6. Super basic just trying to keep microbes happy. God bless!
