JillyBean F1

[anova.330]

Diagnosed with MS, I was looking for help to alleviate symptoms. My best friend, Trip, said he knew some guys with clean weed. Never cost me a dime. So at nearly 40 years old then, I started using cannabis.

Couple few years go by and Trip asks me to get seeds - said his guys needed because their grow went down. So I did my research...a few months later I gave him the seeds I purchased from a UK seed bank. Over the next few years, I had JillyBean, Northern Lights, and Bubbleicious, at my beckon call.

Unexpectedly, Trip passed away. At his funeral, I brought about $250 worth of additional seeds with me to give to his guys...whom I found out did not exist. By that time, I had several LED lights for a remote grow that never really panned out. So I started popping beans myself...

Fast forward to the current days of the Covid-19 pandemic, I happened to come across Eagle Gardens on YouTube. His show, "fuckin talkin shit with eagle", offers live and lengthy interviews of many people in the community -- perfect for working from home. With the help of Norstar, Eagle gifted JillyBean, Agent Orange, and then Sangria for the idea of a grow along to anyone that asked to be included.

Right now, I have about 45 days to veg before flower and I have two small clones. Unfortunately, this timing will also include two transplants: from clone to one gallon, then to a ten gal final pot. Only two of the five seeds popped -- one male and one female. Stem rub is on-point too. Thanks to Eagle Gardens, this is my experience with the JillyBean.

Let's see if I can get this video summary to post...

Clone picture in a smaller clone pot I use. These will be up-potted to one gal containers today.

Transplanted to one gal pots. Used 50% worm castings and 50% SOHUM soil. Chapin sprayer on right is perfect for accurate watering. I use RO water.

I didn't keep the Jilly male. Instead, I have four unsexed Smashed Cakes (MG1 Seedco). Hoping to F2 them along with crossing to Grease Monkey (Exotic Genetix) in the future.

Right now I have two tents with Grease Monkey flowering. Jesus OG (Norstar) on deck next, then Jilly.

Grease Monkey is GG4 X Cookies&Cream. Mine are F2's and they need to show the fire this time or they gone! I just haven't been impressed with bud formation (bud size is popcorn/golf ball at best), flavor, or potency.

Topped and given abo0ut 200mil of water yesterday. This picture is one week after the last. The 50/50 soil/work casting mix I used is a first for me but seems to be working. I may extend my veg time - the soil mix in the one gal is extremely dense and concerns me for the final transplant. We'll see.

Another week goes by.

Week 3 since transplant. I may need some extra veg time prior to transplant and flower in the 10 gal pots...only 25 days until that time.

Change of plans, transplanted both JillyBeans to their final 10 gal pot. Veg for the next 19-26 days.
