Yeah man, I got a journal up here, it's at https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal-discussion/415600-grape-stomper-x-og-blue.html. Its pretty much only me posting but I've put up quite a few pictures and try to give as much info as possible. I should be able to sex them within the next few days. I'm pretty excited.

Yo SkunkMunk, what do you think about that sleeskunk? I grew some a while back (when they first did that promo) and wasn't too impressed. I also grew out some OG#18 x Skunk that was sub par.

Hope yours turns out better than mine!

I hear you there on the SleeSkunk bro, pretty weak smoke wise but a good yeilder not what I'm looking for though tbh lol The OG18Skunk I liked as it had a kicking sour chemical fruit taste and it hit me pretty fast too the first time I tried it was quite strong to start with but I found I quickly built up a tolerence to it's high. It was a bitch to feed too goin yellow the instant the E.C./ppm's were too high for it so I've let both go now and wont be growing them agian. I got the skunktrain from DNA a while back and after growing/smoking these 2 I'm glad I gave the Kandy Kush x Skunk away lol.

Thanx mate I know you have and where you been at lol, and it's not a secret really just ~ a long and healthy veg time helps a lot along with LST, topping early & training and also I spend a lot of time with my girls showering them with love and attenion daily. I only feed at light nute strength at a warm not too cold temp as when my babies need it too remember less is more with the additives and it seems to really pay off . Day/night temps need to be kept just right and good air ciculation is a must too, I try to keep flowering day temps between 22C - 28/29C - day and not let temps drop any further than 18C during the night cycle. Oh and I don't do a usual 12 day/12 dark light cycle either mate ,instead I use 11 day/ 13 dark cycle .

happy 420!

It's been a busy week here this week, now the end of week #5 from seed and I've transplanted 12 into bigger pots and now put them into my flower room (see pics 1-3). 10 have been left in my veg closet still as back ups in case any males are pulled as I'm still waiting to confirm sex.
I'm starting official flowering day count #1 as of ~ 4/22, although I put them in flower on 4/20 I've given them a few days to get used to their new surroundings before starting count .
Pot sizes are mainly all 15L apart from a few that are in 11L pots. Medium ~ CANNA Coco pro & perlite mix with a hydroton layer at the base for drainage.
Nutrients/Additives used this week ~ CANNA Coco A+B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Mono - Nitrogen & Calcium and Superthrive ~ E.C.- 1.5, ph - 5.9/6.0. Hand fed.

x10 - Grape Stomper OG ~ 5 have been put into flower and have taken to the transplant with no stress at all and I've now started to supercrop them & train out the main branches using bent out paper clips to tie them down to the edge of the pot, they've taken to it really well too. I'm now seein more pheno variation now with 2 main types showing, one has a short & stocky structure with indica looking leaf shape and the other is much more stretchy with a gangly look and a more pointed leaf. You can see this better on the 5 left in veg. (see pics 4-13)

x11 - Sour Hazy Jones ~ 7 of the best looking have been selected and put into flower and have taken to the transplant with no stress at all and I've continued to LST all but the 2 in the round pots. Nice variation in phenotypes so far too. Out of the 4 left in veg I think I'll only be keeping one as the other 3 all have a crinkled and funny look to them. They look kind of mutated to me and I think I'll bin them off as I have other strains I want to get started on veggin out. (see pics 14-21)

x1 - Bubba Love ~ Week #4 from seed and this plant is really taking off now, looking really stocky in structure and has really thick, leathery dark green leaves. I can't wait to flower this plant I really hope it's a girl!! (see last 4 pics)

Hope you all had a stoney 420 and were well "medicated" .

lookin great! - is that a mix of hydroballs and peat moss you have them in? just curious! lookin awesome!

Thanx mate and the medium I'm using is ~ Coco (70%) & perlite (30%) mix, with a hydroton layer at the base for better drainage, any hydroton above the coco is just a remainder from the transplanting process mate .

Love how they are taking off man. Looks like you got some very happy plants. Gotta love the super cropping too. I'm looking forward to see how the lst comes along cause when I start my other 4 seeds I will most likely do a lot more of it.
Know what ya mean about the two phenos with the GSOG. I can see both those in my garden too.

looks great, that tahoe looks insane!
ok ? for you, when you said you wanted to keep that #6 tahoe , how did you keep it if you knew you wanted it mid flower? or did you take a clone of each in veg??
+rep subbed!

have u grown sour kush or midnight kush yet????? i have one o each growin and have some questions

Thanx out of the 2 Tahoe's I had I cloned the one I wanted to keep half way into week #3 of flower and selected the one I kept based on the smell, look, structure and the early thc/crystal development on her too. I then re-vegged the clones out once they had taken root . I didn't really intend to keep any at first lol, untill I saw how they were coming along I just had to.

No bro I haven't had the pleasure of trying either of those...

really? i wasnt aware that you can successfully take a clone 3 weeks into flower. learn something new everyday! love this site!! lol. keep up the good work! love the vids also

edit: another ? when did you determine sex? out of the 11 seeds only 2 was female? that cant be right...

Thanx I'm gonna be starting new vid updates again soon!!.
The re-veg process is slow and the success rate can be low too. You can also re-veg a harvested plant too, if you leave some of the lower branches alive by keeping a few leaves and small buds alive but it's a slow process. Your much better off cloning while still in veg or during the first week of flower though as your cuts will root and grow quicker.
For the tahoe's out of 10 seeds I got 7/10 germ and out of those 7 only 2 were female and I sexed them during the 11 week veg I gave them. They were regs though and thats always the gamble with male/female ratios, I just got unlucky is all.

Oh and I don't do a usual 12 day/12 dark light cycle either mate ,instead I use 11 day/ 13 dark cycle

i might hafta try this!

I got the idea from thinking how in nature the autum shift in light is much shorter than the hours of dark we get it's not an exact 12day/12night, so I thought I'd try this practice with my indoor light cycle too. It has worked great for me and as thc production is higher during the dark hours it just made more sense for me to do it. I'd highly recommend you try it too and see what you think mate .
