Greenpoint seeds!!

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

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

We can always make more money but cant never make more time.

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

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.

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.

8 week strain will give 3 crops in 24 weeks and 12 week strain only 2. Spend a minute thinking about that.

thank you. That's why some of the neverending finishers inside just aren't worth it.

 

[JohnGlennsGarden]

And for the record my opinion isnt personal.its just business.

 

[quiescent]

It really depends on the amount of space you've got and how you allocate it. You definitely can spend that extra month having to veg out those faster finishing strains for the same or less yield as something you can flower from rooted clone.

Basically requires a separate tent/table though. The more skilled perpetual guys can wrangle them down and move em around as needed. Different strokes for different folks.

 

[Swampjack]

Sure. 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

Full Moon Fever: Pretty great taste and flavor actually. Just too sativa-leaning for my liking. I would still recommend this strain.
Pioneer Kush: small nugs and small output. Decent smoke.
Deputy: small nugs. hermed. again, decent smoke but too sativa for me

Thanks

@Gu~ what's up with these cali cannons? Shit just ain't adding up. Leaves look nothing like a og nor a chem, at the chems that I've grown. Got shiiit out chea looking all hazey wavey and shit.View attachment 4203403

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.

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!

I did find a couple worms picked them off and killed them thinking I might cut it down today but still waiting to see how it is...the next few days ate going to be 60-70 with 50-60% humidity

Chop chop chop

 

[whytewidow]

It was Just a couple of leaves on the same cola that had a burp Leilah brown hue they didn’t seem dead

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.

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.

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.

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 now

 

[slow drawl]

I've never had scale that I have noticed on any of my plants. Was looking the Sky Dweller over and came across this...
The thing is about an inch long, can't believe I didn't notice it before now.

Yeah im hearing you. My calicannon buds didnt form normal either.

At forst i thought i had messed up and it was heat related or something. I didnt think it would produce at all. Right at the end it all came together though.
I love the way they formed. Every bud site was a large individual bud. As a result my yield was fantastic. This is the final shot before chop.

Quite a different looking plant



Basically ended up being the heaviest yielding og i have ever grown.

I’ve run California Cannon a couple times and mine couldn’t be more different so there could be some variation...................
