GanjaGrandaddy Grows Great Ganja, Sometimes!

[Ganjagrandaddy]

Congrats on the light GG!....and the repair! All top notch stuff. Oh, and the weed. Can't forget the weed.
What where you on about earlier? Allowing the plant to die and dry up in the pot as a way of drying the flowers? If so then I've never heard of it but it sounds interesting and plausible. If not then you'll have to explain again lol.
I've just completed my harvest and am waiting for the first dry flower samples. I've been on some nice scissor hash.
You've got to come over and check out my salty pot exhibition lol. You'll love it

Always a great entrance mate lol.
Tha ks for the positives Peof I am stoked to win it and get to see how it performs. Some inspiration from your latest and thinking of adding my soil to the big bed idea along with the ecothrive los. Still run one nft fornthe megacrop maybe but I am so happy with soil as a medium now I am not so scared of it.lol . This fgs has been pleasant surprise to the failure of the bg41 for me and seeing donkeys Hulklato too. The light comparison is a new angle to play for the next one too. Just need to decide on the strains in the race.
The "left till ready" is not one I have seriously considered before but sadly I allowed myself too much thinking time and came up with this : I dried previously with 0 cuts or any trimming until finished for jarring. The conditions were ideal as it was cooler and they took about 2 weeks to be snappable dry. I hung upside down for the entire period but had based my original trial on what I had read about it but upright and with the roots shaken off. I wondered if the upside down had made any difference the same as the dark period can sometimes. With coco it was easy to shake them loose but I hung them upside down thinking they would cover the buds perfectly as they curled from gravity. The keeping moisture in was the intention and s slower dry. Lower and slower without the fridge sort of. I tried the original on the understanding of her being alive until her last possible moment and desperately converting with all her life force to use everything. I did feel it worked but that I had thrown the proceeds
As a curveball at the end with confusing her upside down. Sounds stupid but even now still logical to me. Seeds turn round and know up from down. We all KNOW plants feel and respond or we would not be able to alter their cycles and patterns as we do , so it made sense to see what she would so in nature when the ground dried up to match her above ground environment. Roots look edible when we harvest with their pudgy goodness so I think by cannibalizing them during the dying off could make her sweat more oil maybe to keep going. Biggest fear is seeding. What's your thoughts. Any sense listened too right now before I fuck these up.lol

I see. I thought that you meant to just give them one final watering and leave them until they were literally dry lol.
I can't see it causing any harm provided the drying conditions are good. I say go for it and see if there is a difference. Perhaps take a single branch from each to dry in the a more conventional manner to see which one's better.

Wow that is a length of time. Thankfully the lights sell themselves now. Been so happy with mine form day 1.

DAY 65 flowering (day 129 since seed in plug: I am now approaching 48 hrs in the dark 9pm(ish). I turned their water pump off yesterday evening and the res was just at its lowest to pump water. The LOS pots are as dry as a nuns crotch too now. The difference in appearance from the 2 days dark and no fluid is very similar to the 2 week flushing one that folks get with all that time left to go !. This will a) help to use all the stored goodies in the leaves and the harsh tasting Chlorophyll by cannabalising herself ,
b) hopefully force her to keep suppleness in her buds with more oils.
Plan is to harvest the FGS into jars and also trim up the Monster for hers too. Off for a cure for those two. I am also going to trim up the C Banana and FFT#1 tonight as I keep forgetting the 8th approacheth !!. Here is a couple of scary pics if you didn't know what I had been doing !!

 

[BudShark]

Cheers Buddy. Trim jail for a couple of days now !.

Lol, Just got out, managed to trip 1800 grams, lots of small round buds, trimmed them all, 2 full days. Lots of work. Cheers hope you get out early on good behaviour. Lol

How we choose to grow them out makes the whole game a different one to the breeders conditions of growing. Not many of us have the perfect space and legality to not have to include stealth. I have to say that for sheer size potential alone , the manifold/flux method hands down . Super iced was done this way too but the main issue is time with the method. Growing out the appropriate limbs and constant recovery times can elongate a veg period . I now find for my limits , that a quad line ( v. Similar to flux without the recovery and less stressful. ) works well for me.

You've got grown some lovely buds Ganjagrandaddy, they look superb!

Interesting your comments on size potential. Last grow I Quadlined and as I was low on jarred bud I left on all growth so I had something to nip off and quick dry for early use when my supply ran out. Now I have plenty to draw upon and I thinking about what sort of training will maximize the yield within my low height stealth limits. A positive thing about the quadlining is I only made a single cut on the plants (the initial topping), however the branches did grow out quite a length and I was having to do some fairly serious supercropping and LST to manage them. I have seen pics of plants that are full of fat colas and still amazingly short. Next time I intend to cut off all puny growth, and probably some degree of lower growth lollypopping. And then if I try to control the length of branches by pruning, which I assume that would be pretty much the same as manifolding them. If I were to top them each time they recovered until close to flowering (I'm doing outdoor), then presumably the result would be short dense and cola full if everything went to plan, which of course it wouldn't, but is that how you'd see it? Cheers.

Wow , nice haul and worth the sentence budshark. Is this dried or wet weight ?. I am just about catching up with the wet trims over the last couple of nights with dried and half trimmed. Hate trimming curly leaves but can be an easy plucking job. Have 5 still in dark with 2 being taken tonight and finish off the Fft#1 too. His stinks of fruity weed right now. Glad we have a few more days to trim and get hung away from prying nostrils. Lol . Update coming on so far...

Don't mind me.....gonna grab this here chair if you don't mind brother!

Heehee thanks TraLa. Wait till you start pulling the buds in and realise my toenails are made of clay like my feet. Heehee. Thank you very much though. Good to have a cheerleader that isn't paid by the state to whoop when I "catch ball" like my special ed teacher. Lol
All good so far. Update below but took some "in the dark and waiting for their executioner to come calling " shots. I see them shake when I hope the tent flap now!!!. Feel awful at initial stem chop.

Welcome in Stunger..perfect timing for the bud porn week.
Nice thoughts on outside and spreading low. I do think a lot of the methods are more adapted to the spaces. I bet if you have a season to do them as with outdoor , there would be a time that too many mains would exhaust her ability to feed them enough and give more sparse budding sizes. Seeing g some outdoor grows , it seems best to give them huge root space to spread out and encourage out naturally gives big fat colas. A giant quadlining outside would probably grow too long in veg to be beneficial I think. It does seem more aimed at speed and recovery time In a limited space but the benefits of fluxing/mainlining. Just my thoughts. InTheShed doesnt top at all and keeps the top held down long enough to grow out the other nodes used so has a 5 way. Principle cuts recovery all together and still forces plant fo alter toxins for merristem. Hope that helps ?.

Don't mind me.....gonna grab this here chair if you don't mind brother!

Welcome van Stank. An honour to have you here. Pull up a beanbag anytime.

 

[DonkeyDick]

still forces plant fo alter auxins for merristem. Hope that helps ?.

Fixed your auto erect, bro. Hope that helps?

Cheers DD. The FGS is sweet as a nut . Cure will see it perfect I think. Not weighed it yet but will later. Monster is a beautiful stink too. So candy sweet. Both little over dry but the bovedas will balance that out nicely.
Heres my lady trimmed mean and clean.

and a couple of the monster Zkittelz buds

She was a productive girl too.
Tonight it's the turn of the FFT Strains to be culled. Pics to follow .....
Thanks DD

Confused ???. Oops just seen it now. Tha ks brother. Lpl means a wealth of difference too.lol
