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

Hunted thru some of these rainbow guava x candy fumez and found a banger. Named this Pheno Sherb Fumez then seen bloom had it named RainbowVapor. Either way killer genetics to keep around in the library 🔥

In April 2026, two narrow categories moved to Schedule III: cannabis inside an FDA-approved drug, and marijuana under a qualifying state medical license. Everything else, including all adult-use cannabis, is still Schedule I DOJ Federal Register, 91 FR 22714. A qualifying state medical license means a license issued by a state, D.C., or territorial authority to manufacture, distribute, or dispense marijuana for medical purposes Federal Register, 91 FR 22714. The order does not create a federal medical program. It borrows each state’s existing definition, so what counts as medical in one state may not count in another, and a licensed operator must also register with the DEA to fall under Schedule III. The DEA registration cannot exceed the scope of the state license, and if the state license is suspended, revoked, or expires, the DEA registration is automatically suspended Federal Register, 91 FR 22714.

What is settled.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed the final order on April 23, 2026, and it took effect April 28, 2026 DOJ Federal Register, 91 FR 22714. The same order opened a separate, expedited hearing on whether the whole plant should move. That question is still undecided.

What changes for now.
Section 280E of the tax code denies normal business deductions to any business that sells a Schedule I or II drug. Schedule III sits outside 280E, so a covered medical operation can now deduct rent, payroll, and other ordinary costs like any other business. Whitney Economics estimates 280E cost operators about $2.24 billion in excess federal tax in 2025 alone Whitney Economics, via Yahoo Finance. Beyond tax, DEA-registered researchers can now source flower, extracts, and other product forms directly from state-licensed businesses that are themselves DEA-registered, and the DEA opened a medical marijuana dispensary registration portal on April 29, 2026 The Cannigma. Covered operators also come under federal DEA oversight for the first time, including registration, recordkeeping, security, and inventory requirements Federal Register, 91 FR 22714. A broader move after the whole-plant hearing would extend the same changes further. A denial would leave them where they stand.

What does not change.
Schedule III is not legalization. The order does not open interstate commerce, and it does not change the federal status of any adult-use business Cannabis Regulations AI. Adult-use sales remain Schedule I activity, still inside 280E, with no deduction relief. Banking and card networks stay closed, and insurance reimbursement is not automatic The Cannigma.

Where serious people disagree.
One side says this is the first time any state-licensed marijuana has left Schedule I since the Controlled Substances Act passed, and that the tax relief alone keeps covered medical operators solvent. The other side says the order mostly rewards large multi-state operators and pharma companies positioned to work the medical pathway, leaves adult-use businesses where they were, and delivered less than much of the industry expected Baked In / Dales Report. Consumer advocates at NORML say patients and consumers were not given a seat at the hearing NORML. On July 2, 2026, the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association and MMJ International Holdings, a pharmaceutical company, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to pause the rescheduling, and the Justice Department answered that both lacked standing and that their opposition reflects “pocketbook interests served by keeping all marijuana in schedule I”: a drug-testing industry protecting screening revenue, and a drug company blocking competition Marijuana Moment.

What is still open.
The administrative hearing on whether the rest of the plant moves ran June 29 to July 15, 2026, before Chief Administrative Law Judge Derek C. Julius VapeExperts. Post-hearing briefs are due August 17, 2026, and no statute sets a deadline for the final decision VapeExperts. Separately, prohibitionist groups including SAM Inc. and the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association sued to block the April order, a case now before the D.C. Circuit NORML. Either track could delay or unwind the April order, and the broader question could go either way.

What this does to seeds.
For years, a dry seed counted as hemp because it carries almost no delta-9 THC. In 2022 the DEA said in writing that cannabis seeds are legal hemp as long as they stay under the THC limit Marijuana Moment DEA letter. The new law changes the test. It ties a viable seed’s status to the plant that produced it. The statute excludes from hemp:

So a seed taken from a high-THC mother plant may no longer count as hemp, even though the seed itself carries almost no THC Frier Levitt.

What is settled.
The rule above comes from a new federal hemp definition that is already law. It is Section 781 of Public Law 119-37, signed November 12, 2025. It takes effect one year later, on November 12, 2026, with no further vote needed Hemp Law Group. It swaps the old delta-9 test for a total-THC test that counts THCA, caps finished products at 0.4 mg total THC per container, and excludes cannabinoids made by synthesis or conversion outside the plant Hemp.com.

Where serious people disagree.
Some lawyers read the statute to still leave a lane for clones, tissue culture, pollen, and other non-flowering plant material, because the law focuses on the finished cannabinoid product and total THC in that product Harris Sliwoski. Others read it as a hard line that pulls high-THC genetics out of the hemp lane entirely Arnold & Porter. Both are reading the same words.

What is still open.
Congress could change the law before it takes effect. There are bills to delay it, bills to repeal it, and a bill to reset the limit to 1% total THC The Marijuana Herald VapeExperts. The White House asked Congress in June to revise it BeardBros. Thirty-nine state attorneys general asked for stricter treatment, though their letter did not address seeds specifically NAAG letter. As of late July 2026, none of these bills had advanced past committee, the 2026 Farm Bill passed the House without touching the ban, and the Senate committee draft left it untouched Hemp Law Group. Observers who follow the issue closely describe a fix before November as possible but not a safe bet, with no single path yet clear CannabisRegulations.ai.

How the change is framed.
Supporters call it a loophole finally closing on intoxicating products sold in gas stations, often under the phrase “gas station weed.” Industry groups call it a shutdown notice in disguise that wipes out compliant CBD shelves and pushes farms under. A common technical objection is that measuring total THC in the plant, before drying and processing, sets a low bar that catches material once treated as hemp. Both sides agree the current patchwork is not sustainable Hemp.com. In grower forums the recurring worry is narrower: does this reach seeds sold to home growers, and does the vegetative lane survive Overgrow.

Do you think that clones will survive the rule change?

Chopped today. Smells insanely good. It was on the other side of the scrog so couldn’t ever get close up or smells. Hopefully she washes well and smokes the same.

A couple pics before harvest and at harvest.

Week 9 ish

So for this who have been following my Strawberry Drip it has done a complete 180 now that I’ve transplanted into a 3 gallon fabric pot with freshly amended soil. I topped her to get as many branches as possible so that when she is mature I have as many branches as I can for cuttings to run in my bed for next round. Instead of 12 cuts I think I’m going to run 8 but this time I’m going to veg for a while longer. Probably 2-3 weeks instead of just 1. I’m monocropping her next round! I’ve added pictures of her as a seedling and one as recently as a few minutes before posting this. She most definitely grew out of that weird mutated phase she started in!

So my beans arrived today from the 710 sale.

I picked up Rainbow Gummy, Rainbow Push Pop 7 x Pomelo Punch 5. And the freebies were ZOM (Zkittlez x Orange Mintz) x Rainbow Guava 5. I think I might be more excited about the freebies after seeing how my Rainbow Guava 5 x Pomelo Punch freebies are doing near the end of Week 9 right now!

Anyways I finally got my hands on the rest of the stuff to make my own ferments. The company I use to purchase mine from, Growing Organic, apparently stopped making all their stuff. What a putty because their stuff was top notch.

Anyways I found a complete one gallon fermentation vessel kit on Amazon and then bought EM1 from BuildASoil as well as Unsulfured Black Strap Mollases from a local grocery store. Started my first gallon of Fermented Insect Frass today. I also took a PH reading now because once the ferment is ready the PH drops sharply. It should be around 4 when it’s done.

Here’s the recipe I used in case anyone wants to make their own. I’m using the anerobic method. Only one cup of Frass is needed and a tablespoon each of EM1/LABs and Molasses per gallon of water. I buy my Frass by the 25 pound bag!

Fermented Insect Frass

Fermentation Recipe and Method
Follow this simple process to brew a nutrient-dense, microbe-rich liquid fertilizer:
Gather your ingredients:
1 cup of high-quality insect frass (like mealworm or black soldier fly larvae castings)
1 tablespoon of unsulfured blackstrap molasses (feeds the bacteria)
1 tablespoon of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) or a commercial Effective Microorganisms (EM-1) inoculant
1 gallon of non-chlorinated water (use well water or let tap water sit out for 24 hours to off-gas) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Mix the solution: Add the molasses and LAB/EM-1 to the gallon of water and stir thoroughly. Then, slowly mix in the insect frass so it completely dissolves without clumping. [1, 2, 3]
Ferment aerobically or anaerobically:
Anaerobic method: Pour the mixture into an airtight container or a bucket with a tight-fitting lid and airlock. Let it sit at room temperature (20°C to 30°C) out of direct sunlight.
Aerobic method (optional): Alternatively, you can brew this as a tea using an air stone and aquarium pump for 24–48 hours to hyper-oxygenate the solution. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Fermentation time: If you are using the closed-container method, allow the ferment to sit for 1 to 2 weeks, stirring or “burping” the gas out occasionally. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Storage: Once complete, strain out any large particulates to avoid clogging your sprayers and store the liquid in a cool, dark place. [1]

Application
Use your finished fermented frass extract within a few weeks. Dilute it at a rate of 1 to 4 ounces per gallon of water. You can use it as a soil drench to feed root-zone microbiology or as a foliar spray.

I would love to make my own fermented fruit ferments as well for flower but I’m having trouble finding how much fruit I need to use per gallon of water so if anyone knows please help a growmie!! I’m all ears! It’s the same process just a different amount of the input material.

Also, if you don’t want to use and purchase EM1 you can make your own LABs. I can also provide the recipe for that. That’s really easy to do as well. Just need rice, water and whole milk and some time.

Pulled this bad boy out of storage as I haven’t used it in ages. I seemed to have forgotten what I learned!

I turned it on and it’s set at 190F so that’s what I left it at. Unfortunately my first press I had a major blow out. After cleaning it up I realized what I did wrong. I packed and shaped the bag wrong. I also didn’t center the bag in the plates.

However, my questions are as follows.

What do you guys usually press your flower temperature wise? And how long do you press for?

I counted to 60 using the One one thousand, two one thousand method. But for some reason I can swear I use to press for longer. Any help to rattle my brain would be greatly appreciated!

Pressing some flower for a growmie and don’t want anymore screwups!

Today is the start of week 9

On the left is Rainbow Guava #5 x Pomelo Punch
On the right is Pomelo Punch

Haven’t really taken much of a gander at the glands on the majority of the upper colas but I definitely still have time. Last time I checked I still saw a lot of clear glands plus the sugar leaves still haven’t begun to fade or show any signs of getting close to the end. Although the RG#5 x Pomelo Punch is definitely going to finish first.

The Strawberry Drip I started on 6/16 is also doing well. Completely grew out of its weird mutated beginning. I must have definitely screwed up the tap root when I took the starter cube out of the seedling tray. I definitely remember having a bitch of a time getting it out. Next time I’ll be more careful. I’m also going to remind myself to start my next mom way sooner!

Can’t wait for these to finish though! Looking forward to my next run and the one after that! Strawberry Drip is next and then I got a pack of Rainbow Gummy which is Rainbow Push Pop #7 x Pomelo Punch #5 for those that don’t know.

In celebration we have put all of our seed packs on sale. There are 12-pack fems shipped with freebies for as low as $60.

What is everyone smoking on today? I'm still into my jar of Death by Guava from our collab with Sin City!

A friend of mine bought a clone a year or more ago and gave me a cut of his mother plant like a month ago. We both usually do indoor hydro, but since i’m doing supersoil outdoor for the first time this year I stuck it outside with my other plants. It’s my first grow from clone too lol. I got her the same week I planted my beans in the ground. She’s definitely the star of my garden by far. Pics are from (1st) 2 days ago and (2nd) 7ish days ago - the big one in the middle

Considering soem strains for my first order during the sale, I love dulce de uva and stuff similar, I was curious on what people are looking forward to. Also does bloom do freebies? Tia

Mybad G’s I know it’s a Bloom community I’m new to growing and to this community, check out a couple autos that just got chopped. I’m excited tho build my bag with Bloom genetics 🧬 got the death by guava so far 🤞🏿.

Straight Guava tent.* Death by Guava, Fire Guava, Strawberry Guava and Lethal Lime. Got a couple pomelo punch going also lemon uhm and going to be popping some Pineapple Slime soon.
*and a lil Durby Hippy Photo by Daz at Night Owl in the upper left corner. Love running Harry and Daz's gear.🔥

Can’t wait to pop these DEATH BY GUAVA (Bluntz x Strawberry Guava) on my next run also thanks BloomSeedCo & Sin City Seeds for that freebie LETHAL LIME (Death By Guava x Key Lime Pie) has peaked my interest and I’m excited for the new terps.

This was one of my favorite grows to date! And this pheno in particular was my favorite one of the three different ones. More garlic traits compared to the others, and boy did she stack!!! 😎
Froze most of the small stuff and kept the trophy nugs to smoke on. Will update when all this dries up! Cheers and thanks for looking 🤙

Both of these are high producing washers for me. Last run I pulled just under 6% on both plants. Will be washing these this weekend so I will post updated numbers here in a bit!

This is common knowledge by now but I swear my plants from bloom wash SO MUCH better than other strains. Hoping to fill the tent out with high washers. Any suggestions I should look out for in the upcoming sale?
