GDP First Time Grower

[LKABudMan]

We hung it for an hour and I went ahead and threw this out as well. Really strong scents though! Couple of experienced growers agreed these needed at least another 3 weeks pushing them into week 15 flower. I do believe with at least 3 more wks to go, it would of been shit to smoke at this stage anyway. Autoflowers are looking more and more attractive. I had been so opposed to autos that I don't even know what strains are available. Any suggestions from experienced Auto growers message me with your easy to grow favorites!

What do you mean you threw this out?

My comment "threw this one out" had some picturing a dumpster of sorts. I've responded elsewhere and pasting response here:

I gave it away. In good hands to dry/cure and will sample later. There was a lot of flower! Will get dry weight, off branches, before curing. While we've been a cancer patient household for last six years, I know others in similar treatment who benefit from it.

From another forum and same discussion:
Howdy Blueberrymilkshake! Thank You for believing in me and I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOUR SAGE ADVICE. Third grow will be in oven until it's frickin' done. Not even setting up seedlings for next veg tent while next grow moves into flower. I will not be rushed or distracted by anything at all. Will post those strains on another thread once plants are in flower. Will add link here when it's posted. And we're gonna ride and drive, like we stole that big ole' F***n' Princess Ganja Patience bus right down the middle of that desert highway! And that's what's gonna happen here. Will return in a few weeks with greenery pics.

A couple drops of water will help soften the seed and come off easier.
Humbolt are good.
Herbies and Weed Seeds Express are good too.
Hope your having a great day my friend.

Stay safe
Bill

Howdy Bill!
Drop o' water worked and shell is off - All 3 Cotyledons praying to the sun.
Will look into Herbies as well as I bookmarked them a month ago wondering about those fabulous prices.

I forgot to mention these in the corner.
So there was four different strain plants that wouldn't fit into the 4x2 when I began my second grow. And I have two little ones outside with buds growing! And I don't know how to grow this plant outdoors! Just going to roll with it for now. I guess I can post pics of those two outdoor plants later. The four seedlings include:

(1) Mendo Purp I grew from seed which I pulled from a bud!
(1) Blue Dream grown from seed (Rocketseeds dot com)
(1) Jack Herer (Rocketseeds dot com)
(1) White Widow (Rocketseeds dot com)

I transplanted them into 1 Gal. pots and kept them there into flower. I figured I'd be finding out how good/bad 1 Gal. pot would yield me. I knew it was going to be impossible to do with those plants what I did with my 5 and 7 gal pots but I had nowhere else to put them but in my second and final 2x2 with 100 w. spider farmer. Results were OK given smaller growing space and lighting but a lot of TLC. Let's push these along! I would like to succeed at this little bunch of plants as I would like to experience Blue Dream and White Widow for the first time using my own home grown. Would also be nice to see that Mendo P finish well (although smaller yield) as I smoked the bud that seed came from Enjoy the pics in order above.

My germinating seedlings brought surprises today May 18th. Looks like my third grow, of four plants, will include the following seedlings assuming none lost:

(3) Gorilla Glue #4 (Rocketseeds)
(1) Mendo Breath (Seed plucked from another bud back in March and saved until now. Just popped May 18th!) This seed has Seymour all over it! I mean its aggressive growth and size!
(1) Cereal Milk (Seed plucked from another bud!)
(1) Jack herer (Rocketseeds)

Happy birthday to your babies.
Don’t be shy with the outside girls.
How are they?
Hope your having a good morning my friend.

Stay safe

A member in another forum suggested I throw out all these little ones grown from bud seeds. I'm so new to this and so ignorant of genetics its frustrating but a genuine adventure for me. He thought I took the seeds from my own plants and suggested they were hermies. The seeds were taken from a 1/2 oz. baggy of flower. Although I'm moving into my third grow, I've never had anyone say any of my countless number of photos had hermie plants. So apparently even this Mendo P below is a no go and must go!

 

[BobHasBurgers]

Until I have space to play and gamble with, going to stay away from the hermie seeds, for now, no matter how attractive. I have limited space to be taking that much risk. And with my limited space (2x2 and 2x4 tent) I can't be messin' too much with genetics. Sticking to quality feminized photos for now.
I do love the pics and story about your suggested trash plants ak420 and GDP. Happier ending than was suggested if you didn't toss them.
Thank You for your help!

Took my GRAV glass for a spin this weekend. Grow #2 still drying/curing before weigh in. Packed a bowl of some Sluricane into 14 mm bowl. Recently added an ash catcher to this flat bottom piece.

Cheers!

New totals on my second grow experience. Grand Daddy Purple came in a hair or two over 7 oz. The mother plant was my first grow and came in at 3.2 oz. total. I also had a few 1 and 3 gal. plants with a White Widow and Bubba Kush averaging 1 oz. each.
Pictured here is GDP. So how does this smoke? Well, despite apparently being a indica dominant strain, I've had several test smokes of this batch and what a mind f***! It smokes like a strong sativa every time! It doesn't come with the couch lock I tend to avoid. And this shit lingers, in the brain, for a couple of long hours.

More pics to come!

Pleasant surprise in the mail today. Herbies successfully delivered my next grow project seeds:

(10) White Widow (Dutch Passion)
(5) Silver Haze (GHS)
(6) Gorilla Glue freebie

On my third grow, I plan on 4 plants in a 2x4x60 and 1 plant in a 2x2x58

Germination for White Widow and Silver Haze begins today, June 10, 2021. Will update this post with new link to that grow. If you've been part of this chaotic growing journey of mine, I thank you, and sincerely appreciate you chiming in. The way many of us newbies approach and perceive the project is usually way off the mark. I learned a little of those lessons on my own but you guys were the majority of my guidance!

By the way, I just smoked my first home grown Jack Herer, and I can barely type this message with my fingers feeing melty and gooey as they stick and stretch across the keyboard. Frickin' high as shit. This is gonna be a fantastic day and weekend. I can feel it. I've needed this for so damn long.

Grateful for the experience of my first two grows and still shake my head at what I wasn't going to learn until I actually got started. Still amazed at how easily the plants recover after weaving them through scrog netting. Astonished over that one branch I broke and taped back together producing a huge cola! Ya'll taught me that.

I'll return when we have seedlings

Great Peace To You! Have a great smoke and cup of nirvana.

Nothing like smoking your own! Let me know when you start your next journal.

Love @Herbies Seeds fantastic service.
Was it stealth packaging?
I got a nice blue scarf last time.
And terrific genetics, can't wait to see yours pop.
Hope your having a nice weekend my friend.

Oh yes Bill284! Mine came with nice gardening gloves .
100% germination as of Sunday morning 12, 2022. Very aggressive and strong start!
5 White Widow and 3 Gorilla Glue
During my last second grow, I had one little White Widow that I thought might of been stunted early on but I kept it. It moved up to a 3 gal. pot and I left it there alongside the GDP. I just sampled this beauty (pic with jar below) after curing and I'm blown away. WTF! is this?!? This beautiful thing is stronger than the GDP and Jack Herer for sure. Wild ass sativa effects. Rushed a couple of nugs over to a neighbor and WOW.
No words to describe my excitement about filling the next tent with 4 large White Widow plants

I love white widow too.
Think I have a couple if they are still alive.
But feeding those beasts is a bit of work.
W.W. and Gorilla Glue I find very hungry, but great smoke.
Glad they all popped.
Got to love Herbies.

Stay safe
Bill

The drama continues with BobHasBurgers falling in love with buds off a little White Widow runt. Turned out the little runt produced the least amount of bud but MOST POTENT of all my last grow! Got the WW beans delivered and off we go! This photo journal follows my first and second grows. I...
