Hey brother, thought I would drop in and say hello. Seems like you've got the hang of what you're doing and the mainlining looks good.

The only piece of advice I have for you is to be consistent. Be consistent with your environment, ph, feeding strength, and most importantly be consistent about checking up on the plants and log your data in a notebook.

I'm going to follow along / sub up because I enjoy good threads like this. I recently worked with GDP, actually 2 of my last 4 grows featured GDP. I try to keep a fairly detailed journal so if you're at all interested in what has worked for me, click my signature.

Other than that keep up the good work, man.

Hi SB! I appreciate the kind words.

Consistency seems to be my weak point. I'm getting better but I think patience and consistency will come in time. At least I hope! Lol.

I think I actually went through one of your threads already a few weeks ago, I'll have to take a better look. Always looking for new reading material to learn more!

Thanks for stopping in!

Nah dude all good! Looks great, can't wait to see the finished product. I might push my flip date back a couple weeks so I can give the green crack a chance at a decent harvest.

nah mine wasnt a cutting, thats from seed. if its any consolation the leaves look the same mine didnt look more indica or sativa compared to yours. as for pruning i just topped mine once or twice depending on size. i just grouped them close together did 9 under a 600watt in 5 gal pots. pulled about 10-12 oz's on average each time. as for temps i try to keep my canopy temperature no higher than 24 celsius. best of luck i hope you get those purple musky buds your searching for.

Click to expand...

My whole thing is the source of my seeds. Luckily I've got some wicked genetics for my next grow. That's not a bad harvest, I'm thinking I'll be lucky to pull 2 oz between the 3 plants at this point. If it weren't for time I could fill the tent up but I know I have an inspection sometime in October so I want to have them in jars by the 20th. Next run will be a little more exciting.

Canopy temps usually don't go over 26c. 25c is usually when my AC kicks on but it'll go up to 26c sometimes. I find as long as I'm not over 28c they seem to do fine. My issue is the temps at night sometimes hit as low as 18c. But this can be a good thing as to promote those colours in the bud and leaves.

Haha I never had the intention of grabbing GDP, it's just what they had at the head shop, but purple musky buds sounds good to me!



On a side note, didn't do much to the ladies today, watered the seedlings as they were bone dry.
Took a look underneath and the roots are just starting to show through my drainage holes, so it'll be time to repot this weekend. They're just growing out the 2nd node now so it's not much longer until their growth starts picking up.
Pushing back my flower date to Aug 15-20 to give them a chance.
Probably won't FIM them but I'll LST them a bit.

Right on man! You got a grow journal going? I'd love to follow along as well! I've got some Green Crack just barely ahead of your GDP and it'd be cool to compare

Lol I'll have to look into it. I'm sure if my old lady heard the name I'd have friggin seeds in the mail by Tuesday haha.



On another note, after LSTing, I know my auxins have switched focus to other branches on the plants, but should I continuously tie down the branches that seem to become dominant to promote growth on the smaller branches? Or are all branches competing now and I should just let them do their thing?

Also I'm getting tempted to FIM some of the dominantshoots to slow them down and give the others time to catch up. How many branches should I FIM/top at once? I know the plant reacted well to the first FIM as I noticed growth starting within 2 days. I was thinking of trying to do 2 at a time, but 3 is very tempting lol.

Or because I've only got about 15-20 days left of veg should I just let those shoots grow as this strain doesn't stretch much from all I hear.

I kept tying all of my new growth
The idea is an even spread.
So you want to keep tying the new growth to keep it even
That way you don't get one cola higher than the others receiving more good stuf

That's what I figured most do, but growth seems faster when they're undisturbed versus when I tie the new growth. Though I've got a hard time tying stuff down gently.

Looking good, but that mutation is probably from overwatering. Careful of the in the beginning.

The three leaf plant? I wouldn't be quite surprised. I slightly (okay.. Badly) overwatered a couple of them during the soil to seedling phase and probably 2 or 3 of the seeds that didn't sprout are my fault.

I didn't know environmental factors could contribute to any kind of mutations. I thought they were genetic for the most part. I couldn't find anything regarding the mutation my seedling had online.

I appreciate the tip man, I'm gonna watch my watering when sprouting seeds a little bit better.

What do you tie down with?
I use the twist ties from trash bags then when it gets too tall I just tied to twist ties together and let it make it reach and then when I tired around the branch I make sure there's a good-sized loop on the branch end so that it holds it firmly but you know within 2 weeks time the plant won't grow enough to reach the edge of the loop

Right there with you I'm looking at a GDP seedling that sprouted but has since done nothing but kinda slowly fall over while her sisters are on their second set of true leaves.
99% sure it was user malfunction
Think I oversaturated my pellets

I got real paranoid about what I use for this cause I didn't want it to cut the plant at all, and all I could find around the house was some yarn (props to the girlfriend on that one) and I see everyone tying knots but what's the point? I just basket the yarn around the branch and tie it down with your standard wooden clothespin.

If the branch grows, I don't have to worry about a knot constricting or cutting my plant, and if there's enough force to rip the clothespin off, it would have done damage to the plant in the first place, so it really reduces any chance of stress in my opinion.

I'd say most things are. I haven't grown weed in years and never was great at it to begin with but I've been growing lots of veggies. I can do almost anything to them and they'll just bounce back.

Weed is just so sensitive to everything. Not sure if it's the strains I'm growing or what but these things react to the slightest difference.

You guys like some bush in the morning? I know I do!







So I'm going to transplant the Green Crack seedlings today as they're starting to outgrow their pot. These pics were 5-10 mins before lights out so it'll have to wait until lights on. Will start training them within the week as well. They seem very vigorous as opposed to the GDP so I hope they take off and I get something out of them.



My next run I'll start my seeds a month a head of time on the windowsill. If they start to stretch too badly then I guess I'll have to invest in another light for seedlings (at least that's what I'll tell the wife )

I've only got enough room in the tent for 8 3gal containers, and I've got 4 strains, so my next grow is gonna be tight on space (bush in the morning, and tight spaces? Oh I can't wait!)

Anyways and everyone! Hope your mornings are all as fantastic and full of herb as mine is! Now to go tend to the veggies! Luckily the tomatoes have started to ripen so I can enjoy a little snack this morning!

Looking good man.
How did transplant of the green crack go, roots hit bottom n look good?
Here's a few pics of mine on day 27 of 12/12.

I'm thinking there growing pretty slow. But I could be wrong. It's my first grow.

Cheers

Hey Rob, transplant went okay, roots weren't as filled out as I had hoped but they were starting to poke through the bottom. Everything looked great, no complaints. Now it's just the waiting game.

They look pretty damn good to me! They're probably just bulking up now. How much did yours stretch during flower? Mines pretty bushy so I'm not expecting much for stretch.

Hey Hash.

I'm not sure if it is cause of do much stress, crappy light or the genetics or all e but my plant stretched maybe 3-4 inches max. She's only 17 inches tall at this point.

Yield is likely gonna be crap but this was just a run to "get my feet wet" anyway.

Cheers

Could be a combination of all, but both our plants look heavily indica dominant and I've heard there isn't much stretch to them. I'm hoping for more than a couple inches as mine will be flowered at around the same height as yours.
I figured I'd ask so I can make a solid game plan with this strain.

My yield as well will be quite miniscule this first run but it's my first grow in probably 6 or 7 years. My next plan is to fill the tent as much as possible. I'll probably run 8 flowering plants but I'll start with around 16-20 and weed out males and weak females.

I'm hoping for close to 0.75g/watt on my next run.


Anyways, it's lights off at the moment but I got to take a look at them just 10 minutes before hand. The Green Crack seems to be bushing out a little more now and growing fine.

The GDP is doing its thing as well. Just getting bushier and taller. Water/feed day today but that'll have to wait till lights on. Going to give the GC about half strength and my GDP has been loving full strength lately, and not much signs of nute burn or overfeeding.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates. Life's been getting a little busy so it's hard to get on here all the time.
Yesterday after work I was tying and tucking some of the shoots and noticed on my smaller Green Crack plant that I had some weird silver shiny looking stuff on the leaves. Did some googling and I'm about 99% sure it's a case of the thrips. I'll post a picture once the lights are on. My phone was dead yesterday so was unable to take a picture.

Being in Canada, Spinosad and Pyrethrin is illegal, and Neem Oil is extremely hard to come by (have to order it on Amazon). So what's my best option here? Order a bottle of Neem and apply that? I was hoping to flip to 12/12 in the middle of next week and heard it's bad to use during the flowering cycle. I'll do some reading on it, but if any experienced members could chime in that'd be appreciated!

Thanks all!


EDIT: I think I'll do a soil drench and foliar spray with peroxide and dust the soil with diatomaceous earth. From what I read neem is pretty ineffective at fighting thrips. I'll try and find a bag of sand at the store tomorrow to top my soil with. Then Ill keep watering with peroxide and foliar spraying with water and soap.

Any thoughts on this?
