Club Vert(600)

I got a cut from a guy up north, he said it's Violator Kush. But as i didnt grow it from seed, I cant be 100%. It's got the most unique smell to it, something I've never come across. This is only my second full cycle with it so I'm still trying to dial it in some. I'm expecting bigger numbers in the upcoming months.

And I've never seen fan leaves are this massive, easily over 12" across. Some over 16".

PKH, those are well lit Ladies. Thanks for sharing. I am dreaming about light.....

Lol, Thanks. I've had people tell me it's too much light. I laugh, and tell them that they can stick to their formula, and I'll stick to mine. I don't believe in the saying "too much light"

That frosty white thing speaks volumes for you.

...and your ability to describes scents is up there with mine...all I got was "unique"

:0)

Can't have too much light when your growing plants this big. (Don't mind the broken branch, just about to clean up the bottom on this girl)

She looks great....Praying to the light gods.

Got some Gorilla Glue #4 (4 dif phenos - seed), Red OG (some call it ROG or OGred - cuts), and GSC (multiple phenos - seeds)

Has anyone grown any of these "indoors"? No issues so far...things are good. GG is amazing and GSC is a close 2nd.

Looks killer. I just got a bargain cool tube to hang it vertically, but i grew vertically decades ago for three or four years. It looks good., You're probably turning the plants around a little once in a while? Looks like a good room. I was using a light rail with my 1,000 watt.

I have a Platinum cut GSC from Dark Heart Nursery currently in bud. It grew pretty slow compared to a Sherbet (same cookie family) and compared to a Blue Dream. GSC is known to grow slow, and not tolerate stress or light pollution. Seedfinder.eu has information sometimes. But the GSC needs veg time or it'll be pretty small. I got a Key Lime Pie (another cookie family strain) and i only vegged it a couple weeks. It's tall, super thin, and gonna make wimpy buds but i wanted variety so eff it. Alien OG grows fast. Sherbet clones with "Pink Panther" are what I found to grow amazingly fast.

Any specifics on your grow or how the GSC grew; like needs lots of pruning, gets root bound easily, sensitivity to nutrients/soils, yields, and I guess overall value IYO. I have heard rumors from smokers and growers as well as related research and the GSC is said to be a short or low yielding strain. Some say it is finicky. There are many rappers like Berner who are always rapping about it. So not sure if the hype is real or if the "rumors" are just to keep people from "mocking" or trying to cross their own as the real thing. Thanks.

What type of net do you use around your room

I know this is super late but I just saw your post. That screen is just basic vinyl fencing that you find at any hardware store. That particular roll was maybe 20 bucks and was enough to use as a vertical scrog screen for the 600w, a horizontal screen for the 400w, and I still have plenty left for this year's run and another couple after that as well.

The GSC grew alongside a Blue Dream (started sold), and a GSC-family strain called Sherbet. The Blue Dream took off & god tall-smells great-very frosty. The Sherbet had the fastest root and veg growth. I tied them all over and down. The GSC was the slowest but has thick branches and it's dense with tight, small leaves. There was some light pollution from starting too fast after not being able to grow two years+. The GSC scared me like it was gonna hermie, got removed, is fine & in bud. it's the slowest budding of them. It seemed like it needed no light pollution to really set into bud. Not strip-light LED's..just not sealed well at first. I use Happy Frog, water, no nutrients. Often i recover & re-use water. The GSC stayed squat & does need time to veg. It's going to take longest to bud as well. They've been crowded, too hot, but temps are in low 70's at most. no leaf issues, others got some nitrogen burn just from a little added fertilizer in a 3 gallon-their soil is as strong as most plants can take. i usually add perlite. I did not pruning of any plants. I tie the branches down. On seeded plants I top unless i want to see how a new strain naturally grows without topping. The buds are weeks behind Sherbet and Blue Dream in settling into bud-mode. Key Lime Pie is another one more like Sherbet but scrawnier. GSC is what i look at as awesome weed to stunt on people with, which i enjoy. Having better weed, having weed you can legally grow in CA, that rivals or exceeds club weed is one bonus and a reason i grow variety & experiment over a run of identical clones. Clones are for speed and just producing good weed, guaranteed, and crossing to create new stuff that's fun and awesome and unique. I cloned GSC & Sherbet. And home-made Urkle OG i have not ever bloomed yet but is certain to be good. Plus mother plant is almost a four footer with another experimental mother strain the same size, un-topped, well-branched under HPS, and somewhat similar in aspects except smell. Reason is that both fathers of two very different mother plants had the same father's in SFVOG Kush x ChemdawgIV. Sherbet and Alien OG grow awesome; Blue Dream too, just lots of stretch. All resinous.

There's never too much light unless the leaves or buds get roached. Otherwise you just get more dense buds. No one considers it much, but growing has additional benefits of helping out without that wintery-sadness some people get from lack of sunlight. Some hours in a grow room making plants live is just good clean fun. I grow vegetables too.

This is an amazing-looking size plant coming out of that little black thing at the bottom. I'm stuck on using soil. Not for any reason other than I have somewhat mastered growing in dirt inside, outside, the woods, etc., but dirt. I've never tested soil or PH. I water plants as the pots get light or the plants get wilty-leaves. It's time consuming but it's rote. 2 x 2 will always equal four for me and it's just for personal and a lifetime pursuit now found safe and legal. I love buying seeds and clones, yet hate purchasing MMJ.

I write a lot. sorry. Yield is like they say on sites: it's a connoisseurs brand. No wonder it's expensive. i made clones of both. I'll put pics. two GSC clones are in a pot. they are literally put-putting along...meanwhile i had to move a Sherbet clone to bud, it's over a foot & branched-blowing my grown son's mind in smell alone of immature bud we're smoking. one Sherbet is 8". two slow ones are four inch. some Urkle Og clones a week in root in dirt are bigger. the GSC clones are for keeping a strain. It stinks. Good stink. I mean like a funk kush odor that's like Sherbet..a fukn Icee is the smell. GSC is gonna not be ten weeks..i'll give it twelve i bet to chunk up. it's a slow-grower, I have mine spread out all over tied down and never topped at all, just twisted and bent around to preserve the top bud. This is Dark Heart Nursery, described as "Platinum Cut GSC" and i don't see how it would need pruning-hella slow growing. sorry. Bay Area, I hate the word 'hella' but real GSC is slow as f-word. crawling. Value is status bud. If it's to sell, it has to sell for more just on how long it takes to make the same ganja. Other's are so much faster. Sherbet, real Sherbet thickens fast, roots fast, clones are $30- $40 each and worth it. they clone easy even in dirt like i use.

There can be a thing as "Too much" light. At a point, indoor growing reaches its maximum potential....no matter what a grower does. Artificial lighting can barely scratch the surface of natural sunlight. With that being said, no matter how many lights or strength of the lights, you can NEVER recreate the sunlight. So my point is, eventually more lights = more money and less return. A medium must be maintained, usually a rule of thumb would be Grams per watt. So if your bud area is a 1k and you produce say 500grams then you're doing okay. thats about 0.5g/W. Some can reach above 1.0 but that is rare. The best I have done is 1.1 and I was amazed (10 plants/10gal each/2k top light/ACDE/DiamondOG/1808g). Normally around 0.62

The best part about this plant is the unified color throughout, the plants shows no deficiencies or distress, and the leaves are up...always a good sign. Even with the plant in a small container....

Thanks. The bottom bucket is actually 2 buckets, there is a 3gal bucket sitting in a 5 gallon bucket. The 3 gal bucket is basically a homemade net pot, filled with lava rock. The roots form like 3" thick mats in the space between the buckets.

How is root rot prevented in such a small space or even stress from root bound? Strong work.

Well the bucket height is set so that once the lights go out, and the water pump turns off, there is no water sitting in the bottom of the buckets, they drain completely. I find this allows the root zone to breathe, and dry out just a touch to keep nice healthy white roots looking for water. Keeping reservoir temps down, and weekly dose of H202 also helps keep everything clean.
