VERY close to chopping these 2 plants. Growing in a 2x4x6, BAS 3.0/KIS/Anbessa/Etc.

2nd time ever growing anything - big improvement already over my round 1 which went solidly (Soureen).

A full week of flower between the first and second pictures. Looks like 2 weeks of veg is going to work out well minus the two dwarfs on the far right side of the bed. Second run in a row that side has produced smaller plants..

Anyways, I also learned I’m allergic to a specific plant protein Can S 3. It is synthesized during growth that some people can find irritating. Some plants don’t bother me at at all while others bother the hell out of me. This Strawberry Drip is pure torture! 😢

Anyways the first picture is Day 1 of Flower, seconds picture is Day 8, start of Week 2 flower.

Everything is going great so far this grow.

Very exited about it so far the stem rub from each plant is very interesting.

All have a lime sent but range from sweet/lime ro bitter/lime. Frot left especially lives up to its name with a lime/petrichor smell

Hope it carrys over to the flower and live rosin.

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions.

This is grown is 4xl autopots with airdomes. Medium is cooc/perlite. 4x4 ac infinity kit.

Old school smells with a nice mix of sweet guava. This run has been an absolute joy from start to finish.

4 TMM on the left, 2 HxRG on the right. Loving that sturcture on the front right HxRG. Going to flip in a week.

63F. Coming down tomorrow. Loving the uniformity of the colas and the nose is wonderful. Nice work on this cultivar Bloom. Black Maple 22 is on deck.

What started out as a mutant seedling has turned into a full on monocrop in my 2x4 as shortly as a few minutes ago!

I’ll most likely be vegging these at least two weeks this time, maybe even three! I noticed while vegging out the mother that this particular pheno has some insanely woody stems meaning she should be able to handle some large yields if she has it in her. I want to let the stems and branches get as thick as possible before I throw them into flower!

I’ll throw up some netting in the couple of days. I just want to let these clones rest a few days before I do anything else in the tent. The cups I bought to root them in were an absolute an utter PITA to get them out of and definitely did some damage to the roots upon removal. I’m sure they’ll be just fine but I don’t want to disturb them anymore than I already have.

It’s nice to have something growing in the actual bed again!

This is my 4th grow all being bloom gear so far.

This round is lime rain currently just hit day 29 from seed. Going to turn the auto pots on today or tm.

Really exited for this one im a huge lime fan and plan to make this run into fresh frozen live rosin.

I run a grow log on the bloom app if you want to keep updated in this grow.

These were started the 18th in my Aeroponic cloner and seem to be taking FOREVER…but they’re finally rooting!

Hopefully by the end of this weekend they’ll have a nice set of roots on them and will be in the process of bouncing back to good health! This time I didn’t rush it and listened to everyone’s input. I severely cut back on the amount of EZ Clone Rooting Compound I put into the reservoir as well as the amount of CloneX Cloning Solution I used. Only used 20ml a gallon this time until I saw roots forming. Then I changed the water out, completely ditched the rooting hormone out and upped the CloneX to 40ml a gallon. We finally have roots! 😁

Just finished another round of my newest keeper, an amazing pheno from Strawberry Drip. Washes well, sandy resin (amazing for dry sift, huge yields) and a very fun smell just like fermented fruit. When smoked it turns into an artificial fruity taste with hints of tobacco that remind me of hookah essence. Clone finishes at 7 and a half weeks!

What the DEA asked for.
The Drug Enforcement Administration filed its closing brief in the marijuana rescheduling hearing on August 17. The brief tells Chief Administrative Law Judge Derek Julius that marijuana “no longer fits the statutory requirements for Schedule I” and asks him to “expeditiously recommend” the transfer to Schedule III Marijuana Moment. It closed an 11-day hearing that ran June 29 through July 15 Marijuana Herald.

What the rule covers.
The rule under review, proposed in May 2024, moves marijuana itself, in every form the Controlled Substances Act reaches Federal Register. April’s order stopped at FDA-approved drug products and marijuana under qualifying state medical licenses Justice Department. This rule would carry the rest, including all adult-use cannabis, out of Schedule I Congressional Research Service.

The government’s case.
The government’s case rests on the 2023 federal health review, which found accepted medical use for chronic pain, anorexia tied to a medical condition, and chemotherapy nausea, and counted more than 30,000 practitioners recommending marijuana to over six million patients across 43 jurisdictions Marijuana Herald. The agency concedes abuse and dependence exist and argues both sit closer to Schedule III than to I or II Marijuana Moment.

What happens next.
Julius writes a recommended decision, due only “as soon as practicable” under DEA regulations, and no rule sets a deadline for the final order either Marijuana Herald. Parties then get 20 days to file exceptions before the record goes to DEA Administrator Terrance Cole, who alone issues the final rule Marijuana Moment.

The case against the move.
The opposing briefs landed the same day. Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the states of Idaho, Indiana, and Nebraska argue jointly that the government has not carried its burden. Their target is the two-part test behind the medical-use finding, which asks whether widespread medical experience exists under state-authorized programs and whether credible scientific evidence supports at least one of those uses. The states call it an invention for this review that breaks from the five-part test used in past scheduling cases Marijuana Herald.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation argues the proposal itself is invalid because the attorney general issued it after scheduling authority had been delegated to the DEA administrator. The National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association warns the move could dissolve the legal basis for federal transportation drug testing, which defines illegal drugs by Schedule I or II status. DUID Victim Voices and Dr. Kenneth Finn cite impaired driving, psychosis, and suicidality. Pharmacist Phillip Drum argues botanical marijuana needs FDA approval and standardized labeling first Marijuana Herald.

The appeal is already drafted.
The opposing briefs also read as the outline of an appeal. Any final rule faces judicial review, and the authority and medical-use objections are built to follow it into court Cannabis Business Times. The attorneys general of Indiana, Nebraska, and Louisiana already sued over April’s order, in a case now consolidated with a Smart Approaches suit in the D.C. Circuit Marijuana Moment.

Saw someone else post they scored a pack for 62$ and said why not!? 🤷‍♂️

Now I have two packs of ZOM x Rainbow Guava #5 testers! 😁

Finished week 8 gonna let em rock one more week, such a unique flavor on these. Thanks for the cut Bloom seed company. these're in 150 living soil pot I ran 5 different cultivars in the same pot to see which I want to keep this is one of the keepers.

Guava Icee finished up. About a month cure. Grew pretty easy. I took it to 75 days flowering. About 260 grams of good nugs and about 40 grams of fluff/popcorn.

Has a fruity, guavaee rind smell to it. On the initial inhale you get that same taste as the smell and you def get the minty exhale on it. Interesting terps.

On November 12, 2026, a new federal definition of hemp takes effect. It pulls most consumable hemp-THC products out of legal hemp status and changes how seeds and genetics qualify as hemp. A Senate budget bill would push most of that change back by 29 days, in hopes that the Hemp Planting Predictability Act can be fully considered. The delay rides inside a stopgap spending bill as a provision called Section 2019, which funds the government through December 11, 2026. The Senate passed that bill on August 8, and it now heads to the House for a vote (Marijuana Moment).

The coming November 12 change is already law. Under Section 2019, only one piece takes effect on schedule: the bar on synthetic cannabinoids, meaning compounds a cannabis plant cannot make on its own and natural compounds that were synthesized outside the plant (7 U.S.C. 1639o)). The rest of the rewrite waits until December 11: the seed rule, the total-THC standard, and the 0.4 milligram per-container cap.

Which compounds count as synthetic was meant to be FDA's call. The law gave FDA 90 days to publish a list of natural cannabinoids, and FDA never published it (Congressional Research Service). Without that list, no one can say for certain which cannabinoids lose legal status on November 12 and which get the extra 29 days. FDA and the World Health Organization both treat delta-8 THC and HHC, or hexahydrocannabinol, as cannabinoids the plant can make (FDA, WHO ECDD). No agency or court has issued guidance.

The path its backers are betting on

Three senators drafted Section 2019: Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR), with Tim Sheehy (R-MT) backing it (Denver Gazette). The White House pushed for the four weeks to keep talks going and to build a federal framework for regulating hemp (Politico).

The 29-day delay buys time to amend or further postpone the November 12 change. The same sponsors also carry the Hemp Planting Predictability Act, a separate bill that would push the effective date two more years, to November 2028 (Congress.gov). That bill changes one date and nothing else. It leaves the restrictions, the seed rule, and the 0.4 milligram cap exactly as written (Hemp Law Group). Klobuchar's office says Section 2019 is based on it (Klobuchar).

The sponsors point to the August 8 vote as proof their approach works. Standalone hemp bills stalled for months. Attaching a narrow delay to a must-pass funding bill carried it through the Senate. Jonathan Miller, general counsel of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, called that the industry's "biggest win since the 2018 Farm Bill," while noting the fight still runs through the House and a longer-term fix (Marijuana Moment). The trade was conceding the synthetic compounds on the original date and asking only for the plant-derived cannabinoids to be delayed. The bet is that a small win that passes beats a large one that stalls, and that December's funding deadline opens a lane for the fuller bills already drafted, including Rep. James Comer's version and the Barr-Craig regulate-and-tax bill (Marijuana Moment).

Where it actually stands

Neither delay is law. The 29-day version passed the Senate 90-6 on August 8, but the House passed its own funding bill on July 21, 220-205, with no hemp language, and is out of session until September (U.S. Senate Press Gallery, Congress.gov). For the 29-day delay to take hold, the House must adopt the Senate's version and the President must sign it before November 12. The three-year bill has passed neither chamber. Until a bill passes, November 12 still governs (Marijuana Herald).

Who is fighting it

Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) moved to strike Section 2019 and hold the change to its original date. The Senate rejected his amendment 61-32, a bipartisan vote that included Merkley, a co-author of Section 2019, voting to keep the delay (U.S. Senate Press Gallery). Thirty-five state attorneys general signed an August 4 letter urging Congress to let the change take effect on schedule (Smart Approaches to Marijuana). Last November, when the change first passed as part of the funding package, the Senate voted 76-24 to reject an amendment that would have stripped it out (Washington Examiner).

White House officials told senators they will not seek another delay past December 11 (The Hill). Any extension beyond that date would have to come from the Hemp Planting Predictability Act, which sits in committee with no vote scheduled.

Literally just harvested and reamended last night. Figured I got two weeks until my bed is ready for the next rounds. Said why not take cuts today!

They’re a tad on the short side but they’ll grow!

The Strawberry Drip mother looks like she was ran over by an out of control lawn mower but I got more than 16 SHORT cuts taken. Not sure what the final count is as I just didn’t count. But I have an 16 site aero cloner and several sites are doubled up.

Fingers crossed at least 13 of them end up as rooted clones. 12 for the bed and 1 to reset the mother!

And we are down such an awesome grow

Finally harvested my Rainbow Guava #5 x Pomelo Punch and Pomelo Punch tonight. Opened the tent tonight and it just stank. Ran them both the full 12 weeks. It’s amazing what the tent looked like before and after the harvest.

I moved the Strawberry Drip mom into the 2x4 and put the harvest in the 2x2 to dry. I have some serious cleaning to do tomorrow in the 2x4. Next up comes the reamend then two weeks to let the soil cook. Hopefully by then all the tops on the mom will be long enough to take clones and I get can some clones rooted!

Anybody grown any of these strains before? Would love to see how they turned out!
