Hawk's Granddaddy Purple & THC Bomb Grow Journal - 2023

1/12/24 - Decided to try my GDP grow with a bong instead of the pipe. Finished off a bowl and it hit HARD. Don’t remember the last time I was this high. No idea why it would be such a huge difference between the pipe and the bong. The amount smoked was roughly the same, but the difference in my high was insane. Night and Day. After this, I’m quite happy with the weed I grew!!

1/15/24 - Started off with the pipe to see if I’d get a high like w. the bong. Once again, it hit, but not very hard. A couple hours later, I tried some more, but this time w. the bong. And once again, it hit me like a train. Wow. I guess the plants I grew were not a failure at all. Makes me really look forward to next season’s outside grow!

Go outside, crow hop, and launch that bowl as far away from you as you can. Buy a new bowl.

Nice job! Congrats on getting high on your own supply. No better feeling. Well, that's not true, but it's pretty sweet.

Final thoughts on my first grow.

Started out as a total newbie. I’d never gardened, let alone tried to grow weed. I probably made every mistake one could make – wrong grow lights, wrong containers, wrong soil, under watering, thrips, bud rot, spider mites and a late harvest! On and On and On. So many mistakes, but it didn’t really matter to me since I was having so much fun doing it. Shocking to me, I became totally obsessed with growing these plants. Loved all the advice from so many members of this forum. But no matter what I did wrong, the plants still looked good. Not as big as they could be, but still fine. That is until the spider mites hit at the very end. They basically wiped out about half of what I had. After harvest and trimming, I ended up with 5 oz from the two plants. Very happy with this amount for a first attempt. After curing for a couple months, I finally tried the Granddaddy Purple. It hit hard. Really hard.

Now, I can’t wait for the next grow season to begin. Once again, will grow outside. Thinking of trying two autos and two photos for my four plants. Then hopefully, can harvest the autos and grow two more during the season. Three will be in fabric grow pots and I’ll plant one in the ground to see how big it can get. Now it’s just a matter of picking out which seeds to try out.

Once again, thank you to all who took the time to reply to my posts and give advice.
Appreciated more than I can say!

Thank You!
