Growing it

Strong
Easy, easy plant to grow. She had strong secondary branching, recovered quickly from defoliating, and ate as much as I could feed her. The next time I grow this strain, I will definitely top and encourage the secondary nodes to the top of the canopy. She could've easily taken a more aggressive feeding schedule. There was considerable stretch when she was flipped, and flowering took a long time, similar to a Sativa. My harvest technique started with a final flush. I allowed the plant to dry out for several days then I put her in my drying box for 3 days. The average temp in the drying box was 64-69 degrees. The humidity was a much wider range; 34-51. Once she was cut down, I wet trimmed then hung her by the stalks to dry for 7 days. Smoke is really nice and heady so far. I took some popcorn nuggets and dried them last week. The aroma and taste is pretty pungent. It has a bit of a pine sol, diesel-like flavor. It's a bit different than the aromas I'm used to when harvesting. This strain was perfect to pair with some dark chocolate coconut cookies. Binge watching Netflix is bad though. This herb makes you want to get up and do stuff. Sitting in front of the TV seems like a waste.

This will be my 2nd grow using this line of Nutrients. I'm really starting to like the philosophy behind NFTG. I"ve adjusted to monitoring my water and soil for proper pH and PPM. I still think its a bit messy, but making larger batches solved that problem. I am still strugling with quantity. Once i dial in my feeding scheudle, I think I will have wonderful harvests.

This grow was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to allow the plant to grow naturally without any topping or training. Overall, I was very successful, but i think my yield could've been a lot better. if I had at least topped and trained the canopy just a little bit, I would've definitely increased my yield.

Shame I missed all this - cool strain dude and hope she pays ya off👍

@Bluesbreeder, I will account for the other variables during this grow to make sure that my issue is with the lights. However, this is a hobby for me, and we should always buy the best toys for our hobbies.
Bluesbreeder
Bluesbreedercommented6 years ago
@Quexos,it looks like it's my company but it is not i have nothing to gain by recommending these lights . but i really am amazed by the results i'm getting and ok maybe i'm doing something good and the budswelling helps but i really think my lights are the keyfactor to the great harvests i'm having lately.

@Bluesbreeder,I could do without the stretch. Space is limited. I think I really like the double QB kit. Hmmm, Santa maybe?

@Quexos,we all do lol😊

@Tonino, I really am! I've been very patient waiting for these trichomes to change mature. Should I feel guilty that I'm already planning my next grow?
Quexos
Quexoscommentedweek 146 years ago
Thanks! I think she has a ways to go though. I must be growing the Sativa pheno of this strain. I have a feeling it will be a longish flowering.

Twisted_Forestcommentedweek 116 years ago
Wow she is growing big and tall! Do you use something to hold the buds?
Twisted_Forest
Twisted_Forestcommented6 years ago
@Quexos, yea! I am starting to learn how to use GH!
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@Twisted_Forest, The problem as newer growers is we have all sorts of nutrient choices, but it takes a few grows to learn the nutrient lines. I've invested a few plants on this line of nutes. Now its a choice. Buy the nutes that are running out and keep using the line, or start the learning curve all over again with another line.
Twisted_Forest
Twisted_Forestcommented6 years ago
@Quexos, nice! They are really strong. I will go take a look at your bubba. I have the same problem, since I am kind of a newgrower, I don’t want to give them too much nutriment. I think it’s hard to give the perfect amount of nutriment, every plant take it differently.

Coming along nicely ;)
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@bobo420, That's what I'm hoping. The AFGooey is branching a lot faster than the Bubba's Gift. Otherwise they look identical.
bobo420
bobo420commented6 years ago
@Quexos, 6 weeks will give them enough time to branch out nicely ;)
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@bobo420, Thanks! I'm really impressed with the genetics of both strains I'm growing so far. They are growing like crazy for only 3 weeks old. If the secondary growth picks up enough, I might flip to flower a week early. I was thinking 6 weeks for veg.

Can appreciate the hope for a higher yield dude but any time you pull 1+ oz. it’s still a smoke and a success👍. Enjoy it dude and looking forward to the next one😎😉👊

@Quexos, cheers dude I’ll take peek then!

Quexoscommented6 years ago
@TheBudWhisperer, Yeah, the smoke is great! After trimming and jarring my harvest yesterday, I twisted up a phatty and enjoyed the fruits of my labors. My new journals are up and running. I transplant and feed them for the first time tomorrow. They are already starting their 2nd full node!

looking great bud hope she won't get all the way to your light

@Quexos,good for you mate looking great
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@Tonino, She has to be done stretching. The slight increase in height is mostly flower formation. I have another foot or so I can raise the lights, so I'm not that worried. I didn't expect this plant to show so much Sativa genetics. Thanks for following along!

@Tonino, Thanks. I really like how she has shaped up over the last few weeks. There are about 21 viable budsites right now. I'm looking forward to flowering.

@SommerVirelli, Thank you! This was a very pleasant grow. No surprises. I wish the yield was bigger, but I'll work on that.

@Tonino, Thank you, thank you! I'm harvesting my other plant today. I'll have a harvest report later this week I guess. This girl still has a few more weeks.

@earlsmeds, Thanks! She is really close to harvest. I can't wait to sample some of that bud.

I’m happy to see all these buyers are really starting to fatten up nice frosting on them to
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@Tonino, I view her more as lightly frosted at this point. I do like the directions the bud formation is going though. I was a little worried for awhile. I think she spent a lot of early energy stretching. Thanks for stopping by every week and checking out my grow!😁

starting see all those buds sites come alive
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@Tonino, I can't believe that she is still stretching. I looked up some of the genetics to this strain and there is a lot of sativa. Perhaps that's the reason. But, yeah, I really like how she is budding out.

earlsmedscommentedweek 96 years ago
really beautiful. that main cola!
Quexos

@earlsmeds, Thanks! That was about a week old. I'm hoping for some really nice buds by the time she is harvested.

nice stretch this week good to see those side branch get some hight will get a nice harvest
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@Tonino, Thanks again for your kind words. She has 2 branches that are almost as tall as the main cola. I can't even count the number of viable bud sites! (well I could...) I really think she is going to be a very nice yielder. I'm really glad I have 2 more seeds.

@TreeTent310, Thanks! Wait until you see this week's journal entry. I posted last Thursday, then did a major defoliation on Friday. You should see her now!

@Tonino, Thanks. I took her out of the grow tent this week. I'm having trouble with focus on my camera due to the lights. Luckily they are small plants.
