Anyone have any experience growing getaways beans here in Ky?
I'm in the appalachia and have a whole ton of trouble with mold/bud rot every year.
This year I have Island Afghani, Poison Warp and Brain Twister to try out. I'm very excited to run some mold resistant strains. The humidity here is terrible!
I understand these strains are bred in the North East where daylight/night time, environment and other factors are very different from here in Southern Ky. Anyone down south tried these genetics?
I'm gonna be starting the germination process today.
I personally always use fem seeds, not used to using regular seeds in my guerilla grows. I do use them and tons of them, but my experience only goes so far. I have loads of bag seeds I have saved over the years and when using them, I always use them in many small patches of around 40 to 50 per plot in a 3 ft wide by 10ft long tilled patch and then cull the males come flowering time, the plants dont bush out a lot and I get large single colas and a few nice middle branch buds. I do NOT want to use this method for Getaways seeds.
My fem seeds and clones I always dig single large holes for or plant them in 20 to 30 gallon grow bags because I already know they are gonna be female. If I done this with non fem seeds, I would have tons of money and investment lost because half would be male and half would be female.
What I am getting at is what would be the best way for me to sex these seeds so that I know I am putting females into these grow bags?
Is it too late to get a large yield per plant?
In no way am I a newbie, I have grown for almost 15 years but I am not experienced in my questions here on my post. Thank you!
I've grown a few strains from getaway in the western end of Kentucky and they are perfect strains for our humid weather. The IA is one of God's perfect strains, which I use for crossing because of the unique characteristics he/she pass along such as early flowering, mold resistance, tight nodes, skunky flavor and excellent stone.
