It's an awesome strain and is Blueberry x Gdp. The GDP was crossed back with blueberry male and seeds were produced. There are people that have it. Just hard to find.

they look great! im jealous on how great your leafs look, lol, i can never keep them from cupping under. they dont die or yellow or anything, they just cup under (not all, just some)...... yours look like they there about to start and really color out now huh:mrgreen:.......mine starts to get little bits of color under the leafs around week 3-4 and then really starts to completely fill in from 6 wks +. gotta love GDB, everyone of my buddies that i have smoked it with has thought i did something in some way to make it have the intense fruity/grape/blueberry flavor. im a newbie but from what i've seen and tried, its one of the best purples out there....IMO, it has it all; taste, smell, color, high, yield, it even clones easily. i have six flowering rite now, they are coming up on there fourth week of flower and i cant wait to see how they turn out this run:joint:

how long do you let them go? i noticed mine seem to finish fairly quickly......at 8 wks they are usually 80% cloudy and 20% clear......i have never let one get to having amber trichs because i dont really like the sleepy buzz. what are your experiences with it?

thanks,
legal

I grow all organic. You're nutes you use could possibly cause that. Typically this strain is a 9-9.5 weeker. You really should wait until the 50-70% have changed to amber. If you shoot for this number you will get your head high. Any higher and it will be body. But in my opinion you are harvesting too early. I think if you wait another week to a week and half you will be much more pleased with your final results and smoke. That's just my opinion though.

And yes the color does really start to pop out at 6 weeks. The leaves are starting to change and several of them are almost totally purple now. Waiting for the buds to really pop in the next couple weeks.

Thx

the leaves cup under without me feeding them, i use roots organics soil and i was thinking maybe it was too hot for the strain but this last time i transplanted them into roots soil they did ok for about two weeks and then they cupped under out of nowhere......i was thinking maybe it was heat stress like you mentioned before and lack of moisture in the soil, i think maybe i was letting the soil dry out too much in between watering

i will definitely try and let it go 9-9.5 weeks and see how i like it, thanks for the advice! oh, do you count the first day of flowering the day you flip the switch to 12/12 or do you start counting when you see stigmas? i see a lot of people have a different opinion on this.....

thanks,

I count the first day of flowering when I switch the lights 12/12. Everyone I've ever met calculates flower by this day. Iv'e never heard any different.

In the case of your leaves cupping under I'm thinking one of a few possibilities.

1) What kind of water are you using? If it's tap it could be very high in salt or in fact chlorine. Let it sit out 24 hrs if this is the case and the chlorine will dissipate. For the salt flush the plants once a week with plain water (no nutes). Untill water runs off clear.

2) You want your dirt to stay moist and never dry out totally. This can cause your plants to go into shock and stress them out severly.

3) How hot is it in your room you're growing in? If its too hot or the lights are too close to the plants this can cause heat stress. Rule of thumb put your hand on the top of the plants and if you can feel the heat is a little to hot from the light it is too hot for your plants.

Hope this helps

Looks Good!! Keep up the good work. +Rep
I don't consider that a Scrog Grow tho. Just cuz it has a screen in there doesn't make it a Scrog. Like Flo said a couple pages back.
You have 16 plants in a 4x4 area? I have a 2 plant scrog in a 4x3 area and they cover up just about the whole space.
If I was doing a 16 plant scrog. I would prob need a room the size of a bedroom or garage and would expect to yield about 5-10 lbs.
I have never done anything of that size but thats what comes into mind with those numbers..

Thx blu... Still learning on the scrog situation. But what everyones saying makes sense. I will try to get it right the next time.

HEy, for a scrog, do you really need to intertwine the branches through the screen?

Or simply just placing it over the plant(s) will suffice and the plants will know what to do?

thanks

You don't intertwine or weave the plant thru the screen. Sit the screen at the desired heighth above the plants.
As the plant grows thru the screen 1-3 inches, you take each branch and move it to the furthest hole it will go thru. Training it to the screen.
Don't weave under and over the screen. Just under. Pull out of one hole and back under to a further hole. The plant will take over the screen.
Your plants look lovely none the less.. Doing a great job. Keep up the good work

I was referring to Wood about the plants looking nice. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
No weaving. Pull under and in the next hole, then back under and to the next. Good Luck to ya!!

I'm coming to conclusion that the spaces in my trellis are just too large because I tried to do that but It didn't work out so much. Next time I'll try a smaller trellis.

Thx blu for the demonstration. Very helpful
