At least 63 I'd say. Looking good, let them calyxes swell and pistols go orange broDay 44.
Anyone venture a guess if they'll make it to day 70? Im thinking my best bet would be to pick up a loupe to take the guess work out of it.
Only ended up with 2 plants in the end and I don't expect an extremely high yield but it looks like the potency will be there. I'd rather a few oz of quality bud, then a lb of stuff that won't get me high. Kinda looking for the best of both worlds though I suppose lol.
Hey buddy,Hotrod - The Swazi seems like it'll be a nice plant when it finishes. I tried to train as much as possible during veg but the 12/12 sent her out of control. How long do pure sativa stretch for after flip? 4 weeks+? Or will it be 10 more weeks of tieing down?
We are planning on running bro Grimm Cindy and apollo xx next batch which are also sativa heavy I believe Thinking maybe best to run them in a scrog
Have you growth anything Swazi before?
Oh yeah, I guess I missed that this was the Swazi thread last night when I replied. Was out doing some night fishingHey buddy,
Pure African landrace strains like the Swazi Gold can easily stretch for 5-6 weeks after flipping to 12/12. That's why it is recommended do start them directly in 12/12 indoors and also to grow them in relatively small containers to control their size.
Cheers,
Outside seemed to be the best place for the Swazi. Im going to do exactly that, give her 12hrs dark and 12 hrs light and will just continue to move her until the days get closer to 12/12. Right now it's probably closer to 16/8 and I'm thinking she might reveg. If that happens, it'd never finish before the frost and cold show up the end of October early November.Hi Lrn2Yield,
Your Swazi would have definitely kept stretching, I think you did the right thing by taking her outside.
It will be ready for harvest very late in the season tho. If you can force her right now by pulling a tarp or taking her inside the house every night, it will be ready much sooner. It's almost August already so you could do some light dep for about 3 weeks and then it would keep flowering.
Peace
Haha that's a beauty, I'm running the pure ghost as soon as I get doc holiday, and humble pie out of the veg room.Pure ghost is fire.i grew out 10 of them and kept #8.it was just to good to let go.they were all good but this one just stood out on smell and trichs.
It's an 8 week plant on the nose.ive ran it 3 times already.only 1 out of the 10 I had went over 8 weeks.

I dont think temps stress the plant at reasonable numbers but if you want trichs and color it's best to keep a lower day temp.@Heisengrow - beautiful plant man, looks awesome. I haven't managed to get any colour from mine yet, the odd stem is going reddish/purple but that's it. Today is day 46 for me I believe so I'm not sure I'll get the deep purples like that.
The weather local has been low 30s close to 40 with the humidex the last few weeks and I run my light cycle at night when it's cooler and I haven't been able to lower my dark cycle during the day much below 30 and I hear lower temps help with colours.
Question - will a plant that's at 12/12 get stressed if the temps never drop low enough to signal fall is coming, or is 12/12 enough despite temps?
Thanks
For sure man, I'm gonna have to work on getting some AC in there soon. No sign of temp drops the next week, of course . Ya can't win with mother nature, too hot in summer, cold in winter and rain and humidity in spring haha. Can't knock fall too much, it's pretty much the only season that cooperatesI dont think temps stress the plant at reasonable numbers but if you want trichs and color it's best to keep a lower day temp.
Ghost x black water sounds like a good cross. Do you have a journal going now ?Haha that's a beauty, I'm running the pure ghost as soon as I get doc holiday, and humble pie out of the veg room.
Thought about crossing pure ghost with Blackwater on this next run too.
Naw no journal yet, but I'm in the cannazone outdoor grow battle on The AFN, got a bunch of pics.For sure man, I'm gonna have to work on getting some AC in there soon.

Thing 1, thing 2. I like it lol. I hear ya man, always have to have high hopes when it comes to this game. This is only my second grow, so you've got 12 years on me.Naw no journal yet, but I'm in the cannazone outdoor grow battle on The AFN, got a bunch of pics.
I'm working on my first 3 serious strains, been growing for 13 years. First two strains I think I'll just call thing 1 and thing 2, then im going to cross them and get, The wild thang lol got high hopes u feel me. Lol
Ghost OG X Blackwater will prolly be thing 2, if I find some worthy phenos, I'd love it get one like hiesns # 8^^ lol
2nd grow and playing with some nice genetics, that's what's up.Thing 1, thing 2. I like it lol. I hear ya man, always have to have high hopes when it comes to this game. This is only my second grow, so you've got 12 years on me.
I had a quick chat with hiesns two days ago, and he said that pretty much all of the ghosts that he grew out were very similar in colour as the pictures he posted, so I think you'll have good luck. I've been having trouble lowering my dark cycle temps, so I haven't been able to get much colour out of mine yet. there is some purple stems and leaves, but not as much as the above photos haha.
Just read something where they genetically tested Ghost OG in 28 dispensaries in CO and only 3 were the real deal.Pure ghost is fire.i grew out 10 of them and kept #8.it was just to good to let go.they were all good but this one just stood out on smell and trichs.
