A week with progress. I was able to move the earthbox into the flower tent where I control the environment better than a basement in winter. The plant certainly agreed as I am focused on VPD and ensuring the short veg time left will be put to good use. I topped the plant a few days ago and the replacement top can be seen popping out in the middle. I did not know how long to wait after topping to switch to flower but believe at the current rate of growth it will be just fine. Have not performed any training other than the topping. This plant is short and WIDE. She measures 14" across but only 8-10" tall. I can only imagine what will happen in flower and hope the stretch is normal as I have only 50" in the tent to use as the fan and the light will constrain the height of the canopy. The leaves are huge, currently bigger than my hand... very impressed with this strain thus far... This weeks activities required are:
- Defoliation
- Training
- Top Dress
- Beauveria Bassiana innoculation
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 🤞 🍀 , I’m doing my first ethos grow and hoping for good results
I’ll be watching this grow , I was interested in this strain but didn’t 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 doesn’t 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. 😬 I believe she will yield higher than 8 oz.
