I can waste money and make it back.. time wasted is gone for good..yeah i can agree with that for sure, its often the case that the more indica dom strains pack better bag appeal and are done in less time and stepping up to a 13-14 week strain doesnt really get you that far into sativa territory anyway.
in some cases though going that little deeper gets you that little something extra, that smoke with no ceiling or that unique terp profile that just makes waiting an extra week or 2 worthwhile. its a small payoff but i dont look at it as 14 weeks i look at it as 2 extra weeks
and then of course there is the hundreds of hybrids out there that go the extra 2 weeks and dont bring anything extra to the table but thats the risk you take. not really anymore dissapointing than running a 10 week strain that you didnt like
We can always make more money but cant never make more time.I can waste money and make it back.. time wasted is gone for good..
There's no guarantee running 13+ weeks is going to get you that holy grail with "no ceiling" etc. and the difference between a disappointing 10 weeks and a lackluster 14 weeks is huge.. If I can do three runs in the time it takes to finish 2 it's easier to make up for any disappointments.. I ran a couple handfuls of GH hazes and really just felt like it was good bud but nothing better than things that were finishing 4-5 weeks earlier..
to each their own.. Ive got a couple packs of the nugget in the fridge so keep us posted
Despite the argument about Greenpoint seeds and the separate sides, and who is a pollen chucker and who is a breeder, blah blah blah, I have to say that after so many years of having trouble getting quality genetics, I feel so fortunate at this time to be able to choose between getting excellent genetics, i e stardawg crosses from GPS, or buying superb genetics from what appears to be a serious breeder like Swami seeds, for instance. I will definitely keep buying from gps and others. The more options I have the better, Imo.i'm not trying to cut gu down, i'm really not- i'm just saying there are two sides, and there is a reason why there is so much controversy with gu/gps. i know one could argue that jj did the same thing with chemdog, but chemdog wasn't putting out seeds- jj worked hard to get it where it is, and in the process created something of his own- gu has shown little effort in building his empire- he took a stardawg male, copied other established strains, and hits clones. he hasn't earned the same respect. i get the medicine thing, and i agree that no-one owns a plant- gu has opened it up to everybody, and i appreciate that... i'm fine with using clones from dispensaries, and i'm fine with the "Walmart" type vibe others have mentioned... i think he produces quality seeds, and i am actually a diamond member on gps, and recommend it to others- but i don't think he is a serious breeder... i don't think he would be where he is now without the dedication of others, and i completely understand why people think he's sort of a cheat. again, i'm not trying to cut him or his business down at all, even though i'm sure it sounds that way... and from the limited conversations I've had with him, i truly believe he wants to be the best, and give the best- and i think he genuinely want to make everybody happy, including jj- i just think he could try a little harder to make it his- others do, he should too... if you want to be the best, then you have to be the best... not a bootleg
so far 8 of them have popped up and i think i should see more over the next day or 2 so i will keep this thread updated with their progress.I can waste money and make it back.. time wasted is gone for good..

thank you. That's why some of the neverending finishers inside just aren't worth it.8 week strain will give 3 crops in 24 weeks and 12 week strain only 2. Spend a minute thinking about that.
ThanksSure. I basically just grabbed the bags in the categories I mentioned yesterday (1) Can't wait to grow again (2) Will grow again at some point (3) don't plan on growing soon.
I tried to rank the strains in each category with the favorite strains towards the top, and then in decreasing order below. Its also worth mentioning that I prefer indicas over sativas and prefer stoney indicas. The more couch-lock the better, imho. So somebody else with different preferences might list strains differently. This is just my opinion

Man, I went through the bud rot journey a few weeks ago. Found bud rot in the top huge cola. Folks on this thread advised that the rot had probably spread throughout the plant. They were right. Even though I couldn't see any obvious bud rot on most cola's, if opened they had webbing or signs of rot starting. I harvested what I could but ended up tossing a pound+ of good looking nugs and only kept a couple of onces larf-type material. Which I then washed with hydrogen peroxide to make sure it was clean from the rot. Totally sucks. Basically the entire plant got tossed
Bud rot can start for 2 reasons--moisture or poop from bud worms. I don't see the little brown specs of poop or caterpillars so guessing yours is related to moisture. I think once the moisture type starts, its probably throughout the plant. If this is what you have, I would recommend harvesting ASAP and hope that some is still uninfected.
Good luck!
If the leaves aren't dead. Then I was say it's the stardawg color coming out. That's how my Texas butter started. You can see the purple in the pics. These were only like 40-50 days in. By the time she was cut. She was dark purple every where.It was Just a couple of leaves on the same cola that had a burp Leilah brown hue they didn’t seem dead
Sweet to hear that orange nose on the sunni d and I hope she holds her own. The pheno I got is much more goji than orange so it's good to hear that father tp put his funk on some of the phenos. That clementine is a terp machine too so it should be a nice battle of citrus. Cheers and I hope that sunni d cures up nice too.So I have decent vaporizer. I bought awhile ago. I've only smoked outta ig maybe a handful of times. This morning me and the wife decided to wake n vape. So I packed some of the 45 day cure OBS. And wow. The orange cream taste is absolutely delicious. I'm gonna have to say the best flavored herb I have ever smoked. We will see how @thenotsoesoteric Sunni D OG stands up against it. His tang pow cross has alot more orange nose than the OBS had. So maybe I got lucky and caught two nice orange flavored nugs. I can tell the Tang Pow x Goji OG cross is way frostier than the OBS. But the high on the OBS is just on point. Still got a ways to go on the Sunni d ig cross flowering out though. But if you have a pack of obs I'd pop them.
The only thing I cant comment on is yield. Bc shes only in a 1gal soft sided transplanter. But no joke. The smell on her is so dominating over everything else right nowSweet to hear that orange nose on the sunni d and I hope she holds her own.

Yeah im hearing you. My calicannon buds didnt form normal either.user error?
I put my all into 12 Cannons 3x so far. Decided recently to kill off the copies and say good bye to the Cannon. The Tahoe OG in the parents is what got me, and user error is what I needed to rule out. Mine didnt look like yours but also did not look right, finish right either. They were malformed too in a different way, buds didnt form like normal. The smoke was decent but not on my garden curve. I tried and tried in the same space everything else is thriving to no avail. R.I.P. Cali Cannon.
