First time growing this ever so popular strain from GB! Its got quite a reputation so I hope to see some great results. Got my fingers crossed that I do this Strain Justice!
Day 28, Insect Damage! DONT PANIC! Im not concerned by it whatsoever..it just means my garden is a welcoming place for nature and insects feel at home there...certainly not going to go ask a public question about what went wrong...nothing has gone wrong the plant is healthy and delicious too apparently lol..If you follow this diary you will see the plant will overcome this minor damage...in no time. Seems Grand Daddy Purple isn't as resistant to insect pests as some of the other strains I grow.
Day 30, Insect damage as predicted is not a problem at all...she is strong enough to LST for probably the last time today.
All is going according to plan...having never grown this strain im excited to see the results.
I needed room in my veg room and needed to make up some space in my flowering room so I decided to put her into flowering today. However while transporting her I tripped a little and she flipped upside down and landed clean on her head. I managed to get her upright and replace the 2-3 litres of soil that fell out. I have heard she is very vigorous so am hoping she will recover strongly..I intend to do very little with her from here will top dress flower boost about 10 days and top up any settled soil.
Day 3 flowering and its no good for the broken branch. Panicking about damage like this is suffering twice...just observe and think it out, more often than not the answer is right in front of your face.
In a week it will be like no damage happened at all...was this a planned exercise? If so...by whom? Myself to show you...or the plant to show us? Ah life's mysteries! *Takes long deep draw* *exhales thick sweet smoke slowly* *smiles contentedly*

Used techniques
trip up and drop her straight on her head professional technique lol
Its been so cold with temperatures often below 10 degrees Celsius at night even in the room. I know I should, but it seems like a waste right now putting in. heating when its only a week til the vernal equinox and the temperatures start to go up and up. I will get heating pads next winter I promise as it is upsetting seeing plants with cold burnt leaves. We cant win all the battles...my goal is to win the war overall! I trust these genetics even though this is my first time growing GDP I can "feel" she has the power! Stay tuned and sticky buds!
What a poor wee thing...had such a hard life already...I can just see the starts of new leaves coming through which is great and it looks like the is a lot of secondary growth being put on so she is probably going to show her first flush of pistils in the next 10 days. Stunted but coming back. Sticky buds and thanks for stopping by!
Well what a great surprise to see her throw off those dead cold scorched leaves and start to really produce some secondary grow and even the start of some nice looking flowers. These are good genetics! Looking forward to see how well she packs these stems out over the next month. Sticky Buds
@Ancient_Genetics, you're right not too many strains can bounce back so fast after being dropped on their head, crushed by 19L wet soil and broken..but here we are. Thanks for stopping by. Sticky Buds!
