Greenpoint seeds!!

Hello--just ordered from GreenPoint (great experience so far). Was looking for a sativa, and indica, and a hybrid. They recommended Chinook Haze, Tomahawk, and Copper Chem. After reading some online reviews, I'm wondering if the Copper Chem will be a bit too "sedative" for me--would prefer a hybrid that enables daytime energy/focus and physical activity (creative work, projects, outdoor recreation). Anybody willing to share their experience with CC?

Would something like Texas Butter be more energetic hybrid? Open to any and all recommendations--and by the way, this is my first attempt at growing, will be outdoors in Maine so fairly short season but here near the coast the first hard frost tends to come later, week of Halloween ballpark.

Thanks for any tips. Excited to give this a try now that the legal issues are gone.
Foot hills of maine here, you want something that will stand up to the foggie crap you get on the coast #1,#2 get something that's done by oct don't plan to run into oct you might get lucky you might not.Check out getaway mountain seeds breed in maine.

Thanks for the advice--I already placed my order, but will check out Getaway Mountain for next time. Am not actually on the coast, about 5 miles in and fairly hilly so fog not too bad. Have excellent southern exposure and well-protected from wind. But appreciate the tip about not pushing things too late. If you get a hard frost before harvest can you just go and cut it right then or is it too late and ruined?

You want to pull it before the bad Frost's set in. You might want to look for something that finishes early to mid September . Eleven roses fast version is quick. Also I'm on the east coast to but down south lol so we can go as long as the beginning of November here outdoors. Anybody else feel free to chime in. bongsmilie

Iam 35 miles from the coast we get lots of fog here late aug early sept. The frost is not the problem the bud rot is. It will push most to cut early. But good luck my fellow Mainer.

Also idk how your LE is there as far as fly overs go but try to spread them out a bit the more natural the area looks the better off you'll be GL bongsmilie

This thread is drifting a bit--I'll start a new one in the outdoor grow section. Back to GPS! Like I said, so far been impressed with them based on email exchange, phone conversation, and very quick order fulfillment (hasn't arrived but on its way). Seem like an A1 outfit, glad I found them.

That was in a 5 gallon bucket of straight perlite. Fed Jacks 3-2-1 through blumats. The obs in particular, when you open a doob tube with a j in it, everyone around says "wtf is that???!!!".
what’s your take on the jacks? flavor and smoke? My buddy’s about to run some and I was talkin with him about how you can always tell when someone’s runnin chemmys, that flavor on the back of your tongue if you know what I’m sayin...not hatin on the Jacks (yet, ha) but interested on what your take on it is. the growth is fuckin outstanding...thick stalks and really healthy plants so far.

That was grown a couple years ago, so it has been cured and consumed. Veg time was around 6-8 weeks, IIRC.
After I read your last post or one of your last ones you said you just ordered some more chem and cake so I realize I must have been answering a late or Old Post but it's cool and I see back then you had no issues with Herms or anything like that I hope is all good now but I am rather interested in the Jack's nutrients you use it's another guy that be on these forums that's pretty good and he uses that as well I think they just came out with a hydro fertilization system or something so I just want to know do you get that kind of growth because of those nutrients or what

I am very happy with the Jacks... Simple to use from beginning to end of grow without changing or adding anything different. When I was running blumats and coco, I had a single reservoir feeding different strains and the standard 321 ratio worked great. I now run DWC and use the same nutrients, just at a lower ppm. The only problem I have had is whe my pH pen has messed up so the pH was off. I am sure nutrient gurus could get slightly better results by changing up as the plants flower, etc., but I am very happy with Jack's. And they are CHEAP.

These will be my first cake n chrem seeds. I have grown a few GPS strains and have been impressed... and so has everyone who has smoked them. Very impressed. There have been a few herms, but only 1 was beyond salvage. All of my first run plants get cloned, and the clones from the herms have all grown out without herm traits. Hibernate was a strain that hermed on me, but as mentioned all the clones from the herms grew perfect, except the one that was a spectacular hermi which was chopped without finishing the grow or clone.
