Hey yeah sorry I will def keep up with this. So many people don’t follow up with there posts and I don’t want to be one of them.

I’m actually kind of scared about this crop. I’m used to strains swelling and showing more development earlier on then this. I switched nutes to jacks all purpose and just hitting the girl with jacks blossom booster. I was tired of buying 500$ buckets all the time.

But here is a pic I took a sec ago I just am used to buds growing more and thinking this strain might take 9ish weeks to be ready.

You must have a good place to dry and quite a trim crew for all of that....

Also gonna be tossing these outside as well in a couple days and flower them. I’ll be watching the weather and if it gets super cold at night I’ll drop the greenhouses and warm them up with electric heaters lol.

I didn’t have a shit ton of money like other grows and have a lot of stuff I threw together with just things I have around. I’ll show a pic lol but I do care about my product and try to give people great smoke with no poisons.

I got a little wearhouse def enough room to dry a cure. It’s really just me and my gf tho. I do it all from start to finish to packaging and selling. It’s a ton of work but I love doing it and differentiates me from other grows if a store has feedback or a customer has feedback I can change things the next day.

GG#4 is right there now: just the first nuglets formed with the fill yet to come.Resin only now starting... it's about 2 weeks later in development than some other strains.
A late one, yes, me thinks around Halloween here. Fat and resinous buds forthcoming.

Thanks for the reply excited to see the development of this beautiful strain. I’ve been wanting to grow this for some time and was lucky enough to get f2 genetics from a great breeder.

Gonna be showing you guys all the bud developments and update this as much as possible.

TheUrbanFarmer said:

Thank you. I’m gonna start advertising it more on my packaging. I feel the majority of grows here in Washington spray and spray during flower. I care about people’s smoke.

I will be using actinovate (it's just a bacteria that lives on the leaf that eats molds and fungus) not a poison and is omri certified. I'm with you tho.... I want people to have the purest smoke possible. Great job and good for you!

Might be worth a $300 lab test. I ask more for my outdoor because I provide a clean lab test with THC% and pesticide and mold free certifications, and terpene profile...

Excellent. Actinovate is also very effective as a soil drench. The bacteria becomes systemic, so is a good preventative if used prior to mold conditions.
In case of root rot, watering it in and hitting the crown with a spray, can arrest the problem immediately.

Wish I had known about it sooner. I would have sprayed in late July before we got all the rains. I plan on hitting it hard tho once a week until harvest

Nice results yeah gonna have mine tested for terpenes and pesticides. Guess that’s what customers are now asking for they want terpene profiles. Super cool how the public is learning more and appreciating better smoke. Used to be whatever’s cheapest with the highest thc%. Hated that mindset glad times are changing.

Have you used it before? I’m watching it rain outside now . Still another month for a few of the ladies .

From my understanding... If you start early it works best.
Also if you start late...you are suppose to hit it heavy and hard and more often I guess. Especially after it rains.

Just a little update of bud development

A way better update. Deleafed forever backs killing me but you can see the buds developing. They are coming along super fast now. Gg#4 was slower then I am used to definitely more on the 9 week flower. Here’s a pic of another strain that I flipped the same time called chemmy Jones. Way faster bud development pic with lighter.

I find I need to add a week for a more appropriate finishing time outdoors....
They're a little on the optimistic side for outdoor times.

Yeah, someone should open up a seedbank called truthseedbank...where they actually tell the truth when it comes to flowering times.

There's no real "truth" to it. A plant finishes when it finishes.
I simplify with just using "short" and "long" finish, if I have to communicate finish times.
Even folks growing familiar strains with reliable finish times can only give an estimate for a different garden. Anybody whoever told me "it'll finish on x date" has been off.

it's not like they're lying outright, i think.
i would expect most successful breeders to have pretty good set ups, 1000 watt lights, ac, c02, probably in rdwc....
so they're giving you the times they get, in a tuned in, well equipped room.
most growers are going to fall short of that environment. i don't have a way to seal my grow room, so i can't run c02....
so you're probably not going to get the same times they are, unless you have the set up they have.
same for the projected yields. it would appear most of them give you an estimate based off of a sea of green run....so unless you are running a sog, too, you aren't going to get the results they get.
