Great week! After accomplishing many pre-flower activities last week, I was able to focus on defoliation and training the plant. This pheno is a vigorous grower, quite content to be stout. I can almost see the plant growing with the correct environment. I have been keeping the tent to a VPD of .9 - 1.5 with the aid of a humidifier. Still winter here in Michigan! I also provided a feeding this week that consisted of Organic Growers Insect Frass, Eden Pure Gold Fusion Flower, and Build a Soil Build a Bloom, dissolving the nutrients into my spray applicator and using the compounds as a soil drench for the earthbox. I also noted that the girl finished her water in the 3 gallon reservoir of the earthbox. I re-filled the reservoir with clean fresh water after waiting a day, so the soil could dry out a little before refilling the reservoir. Now for the bad news... I have a plant occupying the other tent that was supposed to be ready a couple weeks ago. It is still not ready, so I will not be able to switch to flower until I have room for the Wedding Cake seedling started a couple weeks ago. So I will keep an eye on the height of the plant as I believe this girl will stretch. One thing I did notice is after training and defoliating a couple times, the leaves resemble a Sativa more than the dominant Indica. Hopefully the flowering plant will be harvested soon, allowing me to place this into flower!
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.
