A Cannabinerd's Journey

[Aeroknow]

Here's the gdp 1 week out from harvest. Man, I know it's a low yielder compared to some gear, but it changed my opinion on purple gear and I haven't even smoked it yet lol. I've always been against purple buds, never really grown them out before myself. I had some purple urkel flowering right before moving to CA, but had to have someone take it over and never got to sample it or see it finish. It didn't look quite like this but my buddy said he thinks there's urkel in it. He said cali is all about the purple and now I can see why

From the smell, the colors, the crystals, it's looking completely different than all the purples I've had. I'm hoping to get 1.5 off the grow but I'm hearing that's pretty hard to do unfortunately, so we'll see. Maybe if I let it go 9 full weeks it'll squeak by 24zips but I'm not sure if I'll do that. Either way I saved a mama plant and have another batch vegging now, low yielder or not lol. I may keep a nice chunk of it for myself so I can offset the yield and not grow it for a while if it does end up sub par

Swami says:
Aboutapound. Lol, no, aboutapound and a quarter plus 2 zips
Although that gdp cut is not as potent as the original gdp cut I had more than a decade ago, it's still some good shit brotha. Little bit better yielder

Thanks guys, I wanna go camping there I the future was my favorite waterfall to date!

Eastcoast, it's hard to say. I've not had my own gsc yet, but I've seen a couple. They look og-ish for the most part to me. That looks on par with an OG, platinum OG possibly? If ya can post another pic Payne might be able to help more. It looks like some good shit none the less!! I'm putting my money on an OG rather than gsc but I don't have much experience with that genre

So sorry man, I got mistaken, I thought you'd grown out some gsc. All good mate, looking again, I think you are right about the more og dom, cheers mate!
Your gdp is looking AMAZING! Some really dense buds you have there and full of resin keep up the good work mate, really enjoying it!

Lmfao at @Aeroknow I'm thinking right around there too, I'm gonna shoot for an even 24 with the next batch, lots of training with bushier plants I'm hoping to shoot me to the 24o finish line

Not a problem at all eastcoast! I'd definitely like to grow a gsc some day though, I have my heart set on the Ogkb and thanks! I can not wait to sample it, the smell is driving me crazy lol

 

[eastcoastmo]

Mmmm and I'd love to grow some ogkb mate ha ha
I bet she smells good too, the candyland was what stunk my house out with sweetness and skunkiness!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Man, you're making me put the candy land on my clone hunting expedition list now lol. It looks and sounds great, I'm just hoping the one floating around here is the same

 

[eastcoastmo]

Ha ha my work here is done
Mine was just from seed mate, the candyland V1 from gdp. Worth growing and making a clone only for yourself ha ha

Dude, that'd be great doc!! I'll probably have some worthy trades for ya

Spog x Chem (i can't get a good pic cuz the lighting in that corner but I'll I've it out once it gets some buds on it and take a good one


Pog18 - I'm not sure if I have some mag issues or if it's the lighting, it looked fine yesterday and today with the green light during the dark time, so I'm not sure what's up lol


Kushberry is now the tallest! What a trip

 

[eastcoastmo]

Mate, they look a picture of perfection to me, geez you do a great job with your girls
Are you still testing for Archive as well?

 

[papapayne]

yea man, that kushberry has those nice stalks I seem to remember. Such a sturdy plant, especially for a og cross.

Keep up the awesome work man, love seeing your updates.

Stay free stay high

papa

Thanks Alpha - I am really loving the job. I write and edit technical documentation for technology companies like HP and Samsung. I have been a contractor for almost 30 years and was able to work from home for most of that time and be around my kids. It wasn't all a bed of roses though. Try writing technical information while listening to the Wizard of OZ for the hundredth time!

That pog18 is one picky bitch over here also dude. Same shit

 

[SupaM]

Alpha, I had to go get and pop an OG#18 since you had the purple going....It was my #1 strain for a few years. Glad to have it back in the stable, and yes, it is a finicky beotch, but after she clones, it goes with the flow nicely. Great flavor, uber sticky, and a decent yield for an OG. ATB!

 

[AlphaPhase]

No more testing for me for a little while eastcoast, I'm just trying to focus on consistency at the moment, but may test for someone again in the winter possibly when I add another light to combat the cold

Thanks Payne! The kushberry is definitely one sturdy plant, it blew my mind that it did all of its stretch in basically 10 days and just went nuts lol. Can't wait for the berry buds, I really love blueberry and OG so it should keep me happy for a while since I've about smoked all my blue lemon Thai

That's freaking awesome MO! Too funny about the kids and the wizard of Oz, my girlfriend loves cartoons and has a collection of wizard of Oz stuff so I can kind of relate lmao. I'll be trying to finish something and she's talking, cartoons are blasting and I'm like uhhhhh, I'm gonna go out to the garage for a while lol -_-

Aero that Purple OG is definitely weird in color I think, but I think it might be genetic if you have the same issue, I don't think we'd both have the same issue. It's weird because it's just the top small leaves here and there but maybe it'll grow out of it in a couple weeks, it doesn't seem to be deficiency or anything as far as I can tell

That's awesome Supa, that makes me even more stoked to run it. Something about the genetics made me feel it could be special, so I'm hoping for the best. Good luck with yours as well!

Here's a better pic of the Spog - it's such a monster!

Here's the Spog Chem mama, it's just such a perfectly structured plant. It grows so symmetrical which is unheard of for an OG. It would make for the most perfect canopy, no support needed really (if it's good I think it's a monocrop time)


And the purple OG

The glue are staking much much better than I imagined, such a 180 turn around from the last grow, there might be some honkers buds from it this round

 

[Dr.D81]

Looks great bro! I got a termination of tenancy today for growing.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Where's the dislike button for that doc?!? Wtf!! That sucks so bad, do you have time to figure something out? Did you have any arrangement for growing before you moved in or just were winging it :/ didn't you say your neighbor grows too though wtf? Sending super sized good vibes that things work out fast for you bro

 

[Dr.D81]

Yea there is nothing in our lease about it and we asked about turning the back yard ain to a garden and greenhouse. We will finish the outdoor and buy some land. It will be ok

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thank God all isn't bad then! That still sucks though bro, I wonder why all if a sudden he'd do that, that's not cool of a landlord at all, I would say fight it but since mj is such a gray area I wouldn't even know where to start. I get scared about stuff like that because my land Lord doesn't know, but I can tell he is a stoner, but I don't even want to ask. I kind of just did it and keep things as casual as I can, stay away from neighbors and I'm pretty much a hermit. It's always our neighbors having cops there and our house is the only quiet one, so I think he knows but he's just letting it slide since we're good about it, but I'm not looking forward to the end of the lease when he might stop in fuck man, why can't it be legal and like growing tobacco, no one would give a shit! CA is going to pass a really fucked up law soon that will be screwing a lot of us so I don't even know anymore but we need to keep pushing forward I guess

 

[eastcoastmo]

@AlphaPhase cool man, I just remembered you testing for Archive once before and being pure awe of your girls
Get on that other light mate, I wanna see you grow some monsters
Your pics are making me drool, those girls look lovely!!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks brotha! the most recent testers I ran were karma genetics, I think you might be thinking of them? I don't recall testing for archive tbough lol. My buddy just dropped off a ballast I needed so I have the equipment ready to rock now, I'm just waiting for the last day I need ac in my house and then Ill fire it up. The electric costs here are freaking 33 cents a kw so I try to keep my bill under 500 lol.

So I was having issues with a pH probe for my pH meter and was chatting with Hanna instruments. Had a nice chat about their awesome equipment.

And what do ya know, I walk out to the mail box and what's in it? A brand new off the line pH probe, the new edition had no idea they were sending one, thanks Hanna!!!
