I admit I'm a little slow with reporting results, but here is my final report on Crimson Crush. I got a 10 pack of seeds from Harborside last winter. I typically like to give a strain two runs before I pass final judgement and I recently wrapped up run #2. I noticed two phenotypes. One pheno...

Let me try coming at this discussion from another angle.... I've been growing for 26 years, I never get 2 pounds per light and this is why..... 1) Over the years I have found that strains known for HUGE yields are nowhere close to being the best strains around. I prefer quality over quantity...

Thanks for the input. Given your results I don't expect the lab analysis of my buds to detect any Myclobutanil, especially since I let 90+ days elapse between treatment and harvest. Based on my experience as well as others, if someone's finished product has detectable levels of Myclobutanil it...

I'm currently growing Crimson Crush and as a matter of fact I'm about to yank it tonight. I will post some pics and a review on the GGG thread some time soon. I can't speak to how CC will do outdoors, but it certainly looks the part indoors. The pheno that I'm finishing up right now is the 7...

I'm about to yank a couple of Crimson Crush plants from Gage Green Genetics. It might be the fruitiest smelling stuff I've ever had. I won't know for another week if the smell translates to taste, but god damn that stuff stinks. If you so much as rub up against the stalk you will REEK.

Here is an update on my recent experience with Eagle 20. After dipping at about 30 days before flowering, I burned sulfur in my flowering room twice, once when I switched to 12/12 and again at day 20. I am currently on day 51 and I have yet to see any PM on my flowering plants. The plants in...

I was going to say, those look pretty skimpy for 53 days. Looking good. All I would add here is get rid of the lower branches in the future. Those plants are going to have quite a bit of larf.

Using soil as a rooting medium is a bad idea. Your success rates will be lower, usually a lot lower, and you will have to wait a lot longer to know if your plants rooted. The only way that you can tell with soil is if you wait until you see roots pop out the bottom of the container. Whatever...

Yep, I lollipop at least the bottom 1/2 of mine. This is a tough concept for people to adopt (it took me a while), but early pruning/thinning is key to bigger yields and nicer buds in general. I hate having shitty little buds beneath the canopy of my plants. Even a few here and there sets me off...

I agree. Buy your soil and nutrients at a specialized grow store vs. Home Depot. You need to be able to control the level of available nutes in your soil because the plants will need different nutes at different times. Miracle-Gro soil is going to be pumping your plants full of nitrogen when you...

I often get rid of shade buds through the 4th week of flowering, but I'm growing in 5 gal pots under 1k watt lights. If you're going with short plants and low wattage (under 600 watts) you're better off surrounding them and pruning more selectively.

Don't mess with them in any way until you see roots coming out the bottom. Even then it's best to wait 1-2 weeks after seeing roots at the bottom of the container before you transplant them. You always want to get a good root mass built up before transplanting. To make your life easier in the...

Excessive under growth will definitely be one factor. You have to lean on the side of being overly harsh when it comes to trimming the sucker branches. This is something that took me a long time to get down, and I routinely see too much bottom growth in other people's gardens. If there is any...

If you top them when they're that small they will slow down. That strain also looks indica heavy and thus appears to be one that doesn't stretch very much so it's kind of a double whammy. They look healthy enough so a little patience is all that's needed.

Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't matter if you only treat certain parts of the plant. Eagle is systemic and will contaminate the entire plant. If you use that stuff anywhere near flowering you're not doing it right. Using it during flowering is straight up diabolical. The only time I ever use Eagle...

I'm currently doing Crimson Crush. I got a 10 pack that had an extra seed, so 11 total. I started 6 of them. 5 sprouted. After sexing I came away with 2 females and 3 males. I kept the best looking male and hacked the other two. I cloned the females and I have one clone from each mother on day...

I just used Eagle 20 for the first time (and hopefully the last time) to deal with a serious PM problem that resulted in me losing about 40% of my most recent crop. I got PM from some club clones that were super contaminated (thanks for that Harborside!). Until this happened I had not...

Of all the good posts here this is perhaps the best of the bunch. Here in CA the dispensaries are always calling for new vendors, but the reality is that the vast majority of them get turned away. Why? Because the product they are trying to sell isn't as good as they think it is. If you put 100...

My two latest seed experiments are Royal Salute from Afficianado and Crimson Crush from Gage Green. Both were purchased at Harborside. I shelled out $250 for 10 seeds of the Royal Salute mostly because I want to see why they think they can charge that much for seeds. For that kind of money it...

Cool. I have some GG#4 that's on day 25 right now. There are enough resin glands at this point to give me an idea of what it will end up smelling like and it smells pretty damn good. I hope the yield is decent, but unless they really explode in the coming weeks they look to be average in the...
