Ganjagrandaddy stocking up supplies .

Hi all , after a very long break to use up the supplies I had accumulated after the perpetual year growing autos , u am now in rapid need and trying to beat the UK powercut threats coming . I have been sitting on these seeds a while since @exoticseed gifted them too me many moons ago. I was not going to run a diary as it is a one off grow to resupply only and I hate quitting the site while not growing. I had themi n 18 hour days for 4 weeks instead of the planned 3 weeks veg troops. ( timer issue-sorted now). I did very little training as maxing the crop is not the driver for this run. I am not defoliating either as I want to use all those powerhouse , photosynthetic fan leaves to keep rhe lowers at least converting some available light. hoping for not too much popcorn at harvest so I will be moving limbs around to keep the light throughout the canopy. I did top and fim the ladies to stop them getting too lengthy and pushing the light height. The longer flowering cycle of these girls at 11 weeks was an oversight when I needed speed but I also know that long flowering allows some really nice characteristics to emerge in yields and budswell. I am using the dehumidifier now to keep the moisture around 40% max to avoid those fatty buds from attracting any mould spores when they get chunky. They are a berry cross so I expect a nice tang of a hit from them at harvest and cure but already they are really pushing their perfume main term smell. The buds that are forming are far apart at present but have a great potential to fill put with 6 weeks still to grow and the addition of the @shogun products I genuinely love using ,should give a good end result. The girls have behaved perfectly so far and shown no issues at all . They have remained that beautiful solent green that comes with mega crop use and really benefits the photosynthetic process and its continously cycle. I use my own blend of a living soil but have not re-enlivened it as it is a one off grow so cod not maintain the bio life at harvest time. I hope that everyone has endured the past 3 years of this madness called the world and that your growing has kept you sane. any comments appreciated and don't be afraid to be open and honest. we only learn when we make errors or work on limited knowledge. That's what makes grow diaries such a great app. have fun folks . be blessed and enjoy the pics and video.

Hi GD Buddies. Another week down on this new strain for me to enjoy and wow am I enjoying watching theses gorgeous flowers flourish. They are creating very hairy and dense looking bud structures that have begun forming up into longer stem filling flowers that are also really kicking out a nice heavy scent of quailty Terps and aromas too. The glow space absolutely pongs of weed and my filters are throwing their hands up in the air in submission !!!. What a beautiful profile it is leaving behind too. One of the plants is beginning to show more colouring on the pistols now so I expect thosnwill begin a new flush of pure white ones to swrll the duds even more . The contrasts are so aesthetic looking over the buds and I can see why this strain was put forward by the guys at Exotic to try. A beautiful choice guys and i look forward to seeing this strain complete its processes and am excited to sample the finished result.

Hi all Here we are ar the mid 8 week flowering point and the ladies are finishing up nicely. I have expected a 10 week end but looking at #1 , she won't wait too much longer I don't think. They are not the biggest of ladies but do smell so sweetly lemon now and I am hoping the final weeks swell them to a great finish. The buds are nice and airy looking and i don't see any signs of mould anywhere so far. The positions in the room during this cold winter have made an impact on the foliage colours and it has been hard to keep a constant temp above 19°c with the energy costs ect. I can see how maybe only 3 of these girls in the same space would have been a great producer too. Their is plenty to work with in side branching and growth so a s.c.r.o.g would work wonders for this strain. I did cram them in with 5 ladies and another strains plant too so perhaps more space would have given each a way heavier final weight. I can see 4 of them Mali g the full 10 weeks but the #1 does look so close together finish now.

Hi grow Buddies. It has been a steady week while watching them swell slowly ( never feels fast enough !!) . I have switched to the Dragon force to feed them extra during the last 2 weeks. it boosts the final phase instead of the starving out or flushing myth robbing the final yield.lol I began taking the branches that were very ready off the #1 lady at 8 weeks and have used about 15g from week 8. not a bad start but I rush dried it and did lose a lot of terps and potency as I expected. I also took most of her tops put to encourage the lowers to boost to a finish with the extra light available to them. I got approx 17g off the 4 mains I topped and that's not too bad for the 1st batch at 9 weeks f. I now have bud to smoke again , yippee. been a sparse month or so .haha. The rest of the girls are still going towards a finish but swelling nicely so I expect they will bring a good yield on the whole. Another week at least I think. until then , be safe and well. love the world and the people in it regardless of their feelings !.

Hi Growmies , I hope your all mean and green in the right places. Here we are at week 10 flowering for this #Exoticseeds strain . It has been a steady process so far and the doner plant #1 has kept the dankruptcy at bay just right. the early harvested tip buds are very active and hit the spot for sure. They do need a proper dry and cure for the main crop but the quick drying has not done to much injustice to the overall finish. buds are nice and tight and crumble nicely with a tackiness so not all lost to rhe quick dry.lol The rest of the #1 lady has been steadily taking advantage of the light to the lower and much smaller buds and they have made a great effort to swell and become the mains. another week and they will be done for sure with the lower pistils being ripened. The other ladies are looking ready to burst open with a new flush of pistils any day . I think at least another 10 days for them and a final feed of the Dragon force before just using a basic weak feed for the final week. There is definitely 2 different phenotypes among these girls with the #5 being the odd girl in the pack. She is a beautiful colour with a dark purple to her leaves. Her buds smell like juicy fruit gum so strongly too. I am looking forward to her final finish so much now. The other girls have a more diesel/fuel smell to them with a lemonene sweetness to them too and are very tacky to touch too now , all good signs. I want.to push them to their very final ripening before harvest so I can give them the best chance to increase their overall yields. I did very little to their growth patterns beside a little lst and topping initially so they would benefit from more light access to lower buds and I did not steip much leaf put either. A very lazy grow for me this run .lol. Until next time , be well

Hi all Well here we are at their stated 11 weeks flowering and I can see how ripe and ready they are looking . They all have a fairly nice trichrome build up now and I had hoped they would pistil flush again but it doesn't look likely now so i am thinking is harvest time any day now. I am now just giving them water to signal theor end coming . I am hoping the plants respond with a panic burst of thc to protect her buds. Not as substantial as I had hoped but as mentioned in previous entries , it has been a simple, lazy grow. Until the next one. Be Happy

Hi growmies. Well here we have it. Week 12 for these hardy ladies. They have coped with a very low growing temp around 16°c-20°c due to high cost of heating the room! , and only lost some yield for it. They have been pushing g some very sticky frost out for the past few weeks and while trying to wet trim them , have clogged my trimmers a few times. They are so resinous and smell so sweet like the berries in their name suggests. The samples I have used and the doner lady that gave me around 2.5 oz of smokable herbs while waiting for these gils have been enjoyable bit clearly needed the extra weeks to be as potent as these are. A dedicated 11 week+ flowering for their best I think. They are in various stages of harvest arthritis moment with the #2 being ready for her cure now she has dried. She has produced a fairly good 74g of sweet smelling and very crumbly/tacky bud. A great start with the #3 and half of plant # 4 already joining the drying party today. Hope the pics do it justice but the harvest report is not there yet !. watch this space.......

A very easy and workable strain. no issues with feeding at full strength at all and to get just under 15oz of perfect dried bud from them all is a bonus . With effort these would be great producers.
