I haven't tried Scrogging yet. Right now, I have a perpetual grow going. The girls that are in there now are all staggered in ages. When I can get another light, I do want to set up a huge scrog.

And I would LOVE to see your G13 Blueberry Gum because I was told that's what one of my clones is. I don't have a lot of faith in the guy I got it from (I got the clone for taking the time to show him how to clone in the first place) but that's what he said it was. It's different from any other plant I've ever seen...

Well, I'm using Karma's recipe, but I don't believe I would be classified as "Karma's girl". For one thing, I suspect I'm old enough to be Karma's mother... LOL And for another, we've never actually met. I do give props to the man for his growing skills, though...

And welcome to the thread!

Hey Kratose! Matter of fact, I just harvested a bagseed last night (update coming up later this evening). Would you like pictures of her or do you want me to wait till one of my strains gets done? She's awfully pretty... :lol:

Sure, you can send it. Not 100% that it will get picked but I can always use pictures. Sometimes people don't send any in at all so its good to have some backups ready to go. How long till ur others are ready? Glad everything is going good.

The granddaddy purp seeds I germinated didn't live. I had one which looked to be strong and all of a sudden it just shriveled up and died on me. Was really hoping to get one going. IT was some beautiful bud.

I got a strain I call Mystery Shadow that I just started flowering, its a BEAST. I will take some pics next time I water so you can see.

And again, any of you guys can submit your pics. The more the better. Link to the blog is in my sig, then just go to the buds of the week page and you will see where to submit them to.

Do you cut off fan leaves?

No, I absolutely do not. I might trim a bad one or two, but in general, I leave the fan leaves right where G-d put 'em. The more fan leaves a plant has, the better it is able to absorb all that lovely light we keep throwing at it. The buds aren't designed to photosynthesize so if you take the fan leaves, you might as well put the thing in the dark.

Interesting because I cut most of my fan leaves off and my buds are in week 5 and they look pretty good.

A good grower will be held back by inferior genetics. You can only push weak genes so far. Why limit yourself? I'd much rather start with the best possible genetics. I've never understood why someone would "waste" time growing in an inferior set up with inferior genes. The way I see it most people are risking their freedom to grow. So why not do it right? And to me skimping on seeds is one of the very biggest wastes of time. No weak sauce in my room. If it doesn't meet all criteria of dank it's culled. AAA smoke,great yield ,clone easy, or bye bye.

And Bluejeans is correct the leaves are the power houses of your plants. I never cut fans leaves unless they are dead.

And Karma is also correct. Genetics can make a HUGE difference. I just finished up growing a bagseed. She's pretty, she smells nice and she'll probably taste fine, but she won't be great. Her trichs were nothing special and there was just nothing about her that was stellar. I've had stellar. I won't do the bagseed thing again.

The only reason I ran them at all was because I fried a bunch of solid genetics by having my light badly placed and some other issues. So I germed some bag seeds and ran them to adjust my stuff and get everything dialed in. I think I'm good now and there will be no more bagseeds for me.
