This was very branchy with a tendency to look very confusing, after severe defoliation then after scrog she looked very very sad, but the difference after two weeks was astounding. This is a strain that virtually demands to be defoliated. If only to keep the humidity under control. She also demands a scrog because once she's been defoliated then all those spindly little sticks make it to the top with fat buds. So scrog with defoliation is definitely the way to go for this Seedstockers OG Kush.

harvested first 1/3 at end of week 13 rest at end of week 14 after seeing no change in the trichomes, of which a lot stayed clear but that OK. It might be a strain where they don't all go cloudy. After chopping 1/3 down it seemed like more stuff just kept coming up, it's the plant that keeps on giving. In the end I was smoking this for about 3 weeks before I got to finally get a dry weight yesterday which was 7.5 tip not including what I smoked over the past three weeks which I estimate at a minimum of 1.5 ozs. So the total yield was 9 oz. This really did knock my socks off. I thought I'd get 7 in my dreams. There was likely a bit more than 9 but I just got too stoned to keep track properly. Buds are covered in crystal and the quality extended all the way down the branch, they are hard and dense and fluff out well. Unfortunately if I'd had known this was going to be such a big yield I'd have kept better records of what I used, when I say 9 oz that's because there was 7.5 a couple of days ago curing, and I'm estimating 1.5 oz smoked over the past three weeks, I'm allowing 1/2 oz per week for the past three weeks but in reality I've smoked more than that. per week so 9 oz is an absolute minimum the actual figure is more like 10 oz. The stone is exceedingly stoned but mellow, you forget how stoned you are. Does not cause too much munchie problem or dry mouth. Lots of flavour when used with the FireFly 2 and the flavours are still changing, but I'd call it herbal. The defoliating scrog and hydro set up made it easy to deal with but I can see this plant causing some difficulties for those not experienced in dealing with a bushy plant prone to mould. The Viparspectra did a pretty sweet job, using an average of about 270W at the wall.000

Hi Shammy, no I have two 30L square tubs stacked. The bottom tub has the reservoir the top tub hold the 4 plant in a 4" basket. So the water comes up the side from the bottom tub and into the top of the top tub and sprays onto the basket, which then drips back down into the reservoir. I have it on 15 mins/ off 15 mins. I call it a shallow water culture because there's always a shallow pool of water around the roots. This is the general principal and there's lots of ways you can plumb this.

well brother, you definetly know what your doing. sweet looking harvest, 9+ ozs from one plant ? sick. im also growing a seedstocker, the bcn xxl critical auto, and i noticed your plants didnt show signs of fading in the leaves/ im not seeing that either even though i dont dare wait more then a week like you said , its taking forever to cloud up from head to toe...

@@Freddd,wow sorry to hear about that. i guess some people are naturaly better at some points of the grow then others. my weakness has been drying and curing. but my growth rate is really 100% from seed and all my intents of cloning have been a conplete failure lol
Freddd
Freddd
@Jisaac904, thanks for the kind words, I'm pretty happy with the result. Yeah the finish surprised me, not much happened in the final week. It's a bit deceptive about the leaves because I'd basically stripped all the fan leaves off, the larger sugar leaves did start to die but as she wasn't doing anything more I though it best to chop her down. The seeds I. bought for my first grow all died and this OG was a free see that they threw in!

Hey Fredd, Im growing the exact same strain and set up(600w mastergrow + 100w additional red only) only on day 32 from breaking ground, very excited to know when you plan to harvest and how much this will yeild. You've just inspired me to start my own diary from this point.
Freddd
Freddd
@Kunaal1, now that my grow is finished I can confidently say this particular strain really needs and responds well to heavy defoliation as well as scrog.
Freddd
Freddd
@Kunaal1, Excellent, I hope that my experience is useful. Taking photos definitely helps when flowering as two weeks can seem much longer than two weeks. My one did not begin to flower till day 40 but it seems to have caught up. I'm waiting for a 60x loupe so I can get a better look at the trichomes. I'd like her to fatten up a bit, prolly two more weeks maximum.

Thanks for Info freddd . One last question... What was your jar appeal? any nice terpenes?
Freddd
Freddd
@SHAMMYDOG, they're all sitting in their own climate controlled jars and I'm hoping they develop some more complexity. Currently their smell seem to me a bit generic but they are gradually changing. I'll be looking forward to seeing how they go.

Freddd, Holy smokes what a great job you did. I am very impressed with the yield. I do have a question... It sounds like you might give your yield a 10/10 and you also said the smoke is really good so i guess my question is, what would have made it a 9 or even a 10 Thanks. also what were your dimensions of your scrog it looks Huge! Thanks again for all your info.
Freddd
Freddd
@SHAMMYDOG, Hi, I don't have enough comparison to give anything a 9 or a 10 yet. However I reckon all reputable seed suppliers will have at least an 8 quality bud if grown to their potential. So for me to give a 10 it would not just have to be super attractive with an award winning aroma and psychedelic high but it would also have to not be a bear to grow. A 9 might be a good quality but that branched well and produced the type of colas I liked without too much fuss. Area is 60 x 90 cm screen is 55cm x 60cm

Hey freddd... Merry Christmas, or to be PC, Happy Holidays Mate. I am assuming you might live in Australia only because you posted AUD price on your light. Hope your getting close to harvest, hope you can include a smoke report on your final post. Good luck.

@SHAMMYDOG, cheers, yes it's a heatwave down here presently which is the very reason I returned the HPS I was about to install and went for LED. I'm most amazed at how little heat it adds. I'm not sure if I can give much of a report until I have a few more strains under my belt for comparison but I'll do my best. Just started a new grow which will be more fun now that I've seen this one through.

Awesome, thanks for all your info,... do you think you have another week before harvest? still thinking 3 oz?
Freddd
Freddd
@SHAMMYDOG, I really have no idea of the final weight now. The buds are dense and nuggety. It's very difficult to see the trichomes. It looks like it could be another week. I might take a branch off and let it dry now for comparison.

freddd... I think your going to get at least 4 zips when all is said n done, looks great. Can you tell us a little about your lighting.
Freddd

@SHAMMYDOG, I'm using the viparspectra PAR 700, I chose it because other lights I was considering would have been three times the price, they put this on eBay as an auction but I ended up getting it for 320AUD. I had initially bought an HPS400W because that is what I know from over 20 years ago but I sold it before I used it because where I now live the ambient temps in the house get up to the low 30'sC so heat was an issue. First off I will say that all the vipers have a higher blue component that I'd like. This particular model the PAR series are both very quiet and very cool, believe it or not but it adds no heat at all to my grow room. The heat is sucked up and blown out the sides. No part of the unit gets hotter than 40C on full power, I like This model because it has separate dimmer controls for the Red White and Blue channels, which makes it very versatile. Overall it is probably a bit less efficient Than say a quantum board or a quality white cob, but I do not buy into the white LED argument on it's own, they need to have supplemental red light like the new QB Elite 96 for example, I might get one of those. This light draws 325W at the wall so about 100W per channel. During seedling I ran just the white only which has both 3000K and 7000K bulbs at 50% only so only using 50W of power, then I upped it to 50%B and 50%W then during veg White and Blue on full power and red at about 10% when I switched to flowering nutes, and for most of the grow, I ran the White and Red at full power and the Blue at 50%. So I'm only drawing about 270W at the wall. These new models from Viparspectra seem to have better designed lenses than their earlier models. I can keep this light 15" from the plant tops with no heat issues whatever. Many people have told me these lights are complete shit and cannot grow a decent bud, and that really annoys me, not because I am personally identified with this light but because it can scare a newbie off growing a plant because they think they have to spend a lot more. FFIW, my own personal opinion is that a good root system is much more important, so I'm a big fan of this type of shallow water culture where the root ball gets plenty of air. Finally I think over the next two years you'll see that all the white QB's and Cobs will increase their red content dramatically. I know that blue is not that important just from being able to grow all the way through under HPS. However when I get another light soon, (maybe the QB Elite 96) I'll be able to in the future, do some light colour experiments with the Viper, for example maybe replacing the 4 hour dark period, with 4 hours of pure red light? Also as it looks like this might be ready to harvest in a week I might give it a heavy dose of blue light. However because I don't have a control plant, I can't really compare. If Viper spectra used only 3000K leds instead of mixing them with the 7000K this would be a better light, and if they cut down the blue a bit and replaced them with more reds it would be better still. I'll put a few more shots up of the setup.

Weird she is taking so long to flower. I would do more aggressive LTS and maybe even some HTS to keep her the size you want. Shes awesome looking tho, nice roots. I hope she flowers for you. I have had 3 autos in the past not flower and and I had to set them to 12/12 light cycle.
Freddd
Freddd
@JerMeds, thanks man, amazingly by the end of the next day she started to bud up properly on the tips. I'm not much more LST to do but I am trying to formulate a plan for HST I think she's gonna grow for two weeks now. She's grown 2 inches in the past 36 hours.

@SeedStockersOfficial, Thanks for the encouragement, I hope it doesn't take 8 weeks before the first pistils appear like the one I link to below, I didn't even know it was possible for an auto to take that long. growdiaries.com/diaries/15634-fb-gsc-first-grow What would you estimate I should yield from this from your experience with what you would have seen.
