so may guys lie about the dry weight numbers...this was very honest number you put down and much respect for that.

@Cannabot, thanks, Bot! Yeah, it is unfortunate how many people on this website falsify their weights. You can tell just by looking.

Congrats on the 1st place win for November's "Diary of the Month"! I somehow managed to pull in the 2nd place win, which is very cool since your input helped get me through the grow. All the best, Cheers!

@VanCplGrows, thanks, Van! I am a bit humbled by the win. My yield wasn't the largest, but I suppose I did attempt to record my info in a way that made sense and to help others. I think you did a good job also! Kudos to your grow partner too - I think she probably got you some bonus points with those very informative photo shoots 😉 !

Thanks, everybody! You're making me feel more confident in the crawl. It's funny seeing the Blueberry Kush beside her just explode, even after the stem mishap on it. Makes me constantly second guess the Acapulco Gold. Steady as she goes, as they say! Here's the Blueberry Kush journal: growdiaries.com/diaries/17098-blueberry-kush-01-gcs

As you pointed out, this strain does seems sluggish and slow, i thought the same when mine sprouted and broke soil, will be good to see how they get on. Gl with your grow.

@MicrowGrow420, thanks! I will try to update Saturday, or if I'm lucky, Friday evening. She actually slowed down a bit, but I actually am letting her go a little thirsty so that she will start searching for water in the Kind Soil at the bottom of the pot. She needs the nutes in that hot soil, and it seems that when I water her, she is content enough to just sit and not go rooting around. But the experiment seems to be working, because in this process of drying her out within the last day she has started growing again.

@MovingOn, Like the symmetry you've got going, looking healthy too. Any updates coming? I bet she has developed a bit.

@MicrowGrow420, thanks! I have seen narrow leaf phenos of Barney's Farm AG, but mostly the broad leaf seems to be the dominant trait. I have 7 more seeds of this one to try, and if I can eventually find the narrow leaf, I might try cloning it.

Dude she looks so perfectly manicured, so jealous! If I had the space this is exactly what I’d be mimicking. And yeah, I bet there’s a benefit to starving them at certain points of development. I accidentally did this on my skywalker outdoor - looked like a starved disaster when I got back home but she snapped back in like 30 minutes after water, shed about 1/3rd of her fan leaves and ended up getting a serious bud on. 5 days however, seems a little extreme to me so prov. Good to to keep it to a couple days in the first attempt. Hopefully this works out for you bro. Watching intently! I love this grow!👊😎👌

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks, Bud! I did the 28th day as well (I'll be reporting it on next week's journal), and I think with the Kind Soil medium it's probably best to only go 2 days tops if you have to do it.

Lookn real good dude!👍. Be proud of this - all natural soil grows are going to take time but the payoff should be a huge yield and great flavour👌. Straight dope brotha!😎

Hmm, not so sure myself dude. You got a great plant here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the height your looking for shows itself during a prolonged stretch during transition👍. She strong and healthy💪👌 and she’s gonna weigh heavy when she’s done dude. Very nice!

@donovanliam, and that’s ridiculous. I can’t understand how you can get legalization so wrong in terms of the retail side. On a national level I think it was a little half baked (hehe - pun intended). That said, legal is still legal and I haven’t really “purchased” weed for years now. Lol

Fruitgrowercommentedweek 185 years ago

Fantastic grow mate! Well done, I do reckon you could have left it another week maybe the smell and flavour would have improved? Also curing can take as long as 4/8 weeks I've found in some strains to fully develop the flavour and I find its much better to jar it when the stalks are still bendy and don't snap (alot of people say dry until the stalk snaps) I think that's too dry my self. 🌱😊

@MovingOn, Thats a shame that there are many bland phenos... Ive been looking around for good pure sativa seeds and I think I am going to give ace seeds a go (probably golden tiger, maybe tikal for happy Mexican sativa). Will you be running anything in your 'garden' soon? 😀

MovingOncommented3 years ago

@Slurpy_Terpy, after a good cure the smell never got better. This strain just isn't for me. After some research if other people's, it seems a lot of phenotypes of this one just don't smell good to a lot of folks.

@Fruitgrower, Yea m8 if only I had read your comment earlier... I try to improve the taste of my buds by looking up guides and they all say to start cure when the stalks snap... I find it really depends on the dry room rh and the bud density and size and in many cases the bud is too dry for proper cure when they are starting to snap of the stem. My previous harvest I had problems with this and lost a big part of the flavor 😥 In the past I lived in a room with high rh 65-75% and the dry & cure was so easy and fault-tolerant the bud would always end up tasty. 😛 @MovingOn Indeed I find with most strains I run the taste improves most at around 40-50 days cure 👍 aim for 64%rh, add humidity packs 'boveda 62%' after 6-8 weeks cure (definitely if you gonna press rosin with it)

Mrs_Larimarcommentedweek 175 years ago

I liked your Handling and taining here very much, and i agree to your thinking that acapulco gold look different...Ive sen a plant of her . She was growing totally different very sativa lasting. And she took nearly 6 months ( over 24 Weeks) But as always if you name alegend.... who knows the truth

MovingOncommented5 years ago

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks for the compliments and feedback! Yes, I was originally looking for a landrace strain to do, but maybe it is a good thing because if it was more sativa-like, then it would have been tough to grow alongside the indica plant. I'm still a beginner, so my decision making process isn't the best yet, haha. 😅

Hey doc, sounds good I’ll follow along to see how your mainlining goes, I bet you’ll have a killer harvest. I’ll try to stick to Nebula’s manifold, we can then compare results 😉!

Nice manifold Doc girls are looking beautiful. I’m also following Nebula’s manifold tutorial for my very fist grow, if you can stop by and tell me what you think it would be awesome. Thanks!

@PuraVidaG, thanks. I'll stop by and take a look. Although, I decided to change to the normal Nugbuckets method of mainlining. I was doing some research on other people's grows, and if any time was really added, it was not really a big difference, and the complete symmetry aspect seems to make more sense to me. https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets

Thanks for the details on your grow. Very useful! What a harvest! Still learning myself and looking for inspiration for a better second grow.

Beautiful journal. Can't help but think this looks like another hybrid does not look like the landrace AG that I know from the 80s. Leaves are too fat. Buds were literally golden. I know I lived in Acapulco for a stretch back then.

@MovingOn, looking nice and healthy, looks like they are about to hit the stretch. Definitely a good thing to get rid of the fan leaves earlier on a mainline. nice growing bud 😎
