1/17/2022 - Germinated seed was taken from a moistened paper towel sprinkled with great white and freeze dried aloe and transplanted to a Earthbox which has been seasoning since it's last use for Kosher Kush. I added water and top dressed the soil with Colorado Worm Works vermicompost to get the beneficial microorganisms and insects to inoculate to living soil. I placed seed in an area I cleared from the vermicompost so any PH change or seedling eating insects would have less of a chance. I do not appear to have a stretching issue associated with seedlings and no issues with hardening off as the environment is quite cool in the basement. The seedling erupted the soil on day three after planting. Since it has grown the first two leaves and appears healthy. This will be an organic no till grow. This orphan will be fed aged tap water as it is too cold for my rain barrel which is my preference.
1/24/2022 - Can't believe the seedling after one week. This strain resembles lettuce more than cannabis. The initial two leaves are over 3 1/2" wide! Did not water earthbox as the plant hasn't really drank that much to date. Popped another seed and planted into traditional 4" nursery cup. Both seedlings are not stretching and appear to be putting out massive leaves. Never had a seedling that was as vigorous or had the size of leaves starting off. Looking forward to this grow!
hey bud im also growing grandpas stash, just finished its second week! i agree its growing extremely vigorously, i have a feeling it will end up being a favorite!
Good luck brother ๐ค ๐ , Iโm doing my first ethos grow and hoping for good results
Iโll be watching this grow , I was interested in this strain but didnโt get it
@MarcGrows, just smoked my first bowl of it, smoke was smooth and floral, a gassy exhale, the stone is very balanced indica, very relaxed but not tired. overall i am enjoying it, very stress relieving evening smoke.
@Drgreenthumb627, Thanks buddy! I appreciate the info. I am a little disappointed. I like tight thick dense buds that break apart at the bracts, and stay put in a pipe! Thanks again!
@MarcGrows, i also was disappointed with the amount if airy buds i had, other than the top colas of each plant most of the buds below were quite airy. i only ended up keeping about half of the total buds. i think in order to make this strain yield quality flower i will have to defoliate everything below canopy as it doesnโt seem to grow quality below that.
jus popped some gpas stash. two. going to be put in two earthboxes eventually when its their turn. these SIPs put out some KILL on autopilot. subbed to your grow. looks like you and i have similar styles.
@Gas_Pharmer, Good luck! They are voracious growers! I noted that when I used some vermicompost as a top dress on a second run earthbox, it was like adding gas to a fire!
@Drgreenthumb627, possibly... if you note in the pics of buds, it appears she has multiple axillary buds on each branch. ๐ฌ I believe she will yield higher than 8 oz.
