1 Plant.1 Pound: The Legend of Big Lemon

@Bossy_Marmalade You know how to grow! It seems crazy that no one has commented yet on what may be @growdiaries biggest indoor plant ever! Maybe because blurple light pictures are hard to look at. Add white light when taking pics and people will love this!! Kudos to you and @philosopherseeds! Makes me want to buy those seeds, and I haven’t bought seeds in years cuz I breed my own.

Thanks for checking up on her, @growdoctordc. I remember you were the first to comment on her glory. Her buds are very very dense, and the smoke is top quality. I miss seeing her in my tent every day. Can you believe I didnt win one of GD's grow of the month give away competition?!?! Im tempted to repeat the experiment since I still have that custom tent installation. 😎

I use nftg liquid bone meal... great source of p and ca. My bottle smells like a combination of old piss and pepto bismol, what does yours smell like?

Great growing! Great use of side lighting... I might start using that idea. Looking forward to following your grow. Oh, what nutes are you using?

Congrats man..... 💚

its a nice Girl, icant see big issues....but its difficult in the purple light, to see anything. atm she looks pretty good

Amazing grow man. The buds look lovely! I think I’m gonna gets some lemon og candy seeds myself for the next grow. Keep up the good work man

Hey Bossy_Marmalade, great grow! Awesome outcome! The 'cut grass' or hay smell, did that completely leave with proper drying and curing? I'm thinking of using a my herbs now dryer, but don't want to get that hay smell from drying it to fast...thought?

My guess is 8 zips for the two plants... I will def be checking results.

Nice grow ! I hope you will appreciate smoking this strain as much as i do !

Cute puppie, amazing grow! Well done sir, well done! 🤯

“one indoor plant producing a pound is almost unheard of” I’ve never heard of it. I grew 7’ Christmas trees outdoors and got 10-12 oz per plant. That Big lemon was beautiful

Breeding is easy. And you don’t have to give up all of your seedless bud to do it. ID a male who looks robust. Remove him to another room and wait a few days for his sacs to open. Collect pollen on a swab. Turn off fans in the flower tent so the air is still. Selectively, carefully pollinate one branch of a girl by gently dabbing her pistils with pollen. Wrap it loosely in a light weight, white fabric to minimize further pollination. Twist tie where the fabric gathers. Turn fans back on Allow her to finish. Really finish. Pick the other flowers as you wish, remove the fabric and let this branch continue. When she has dried up and looks about dead, your seeds are ready. I get about 200 seeds from a pollinated cola using this method. Spray the tent wet before starting the next grow. An outdoor plant left to be completely pollinated delivers on average 3000 seeds.

Thanks @Elysian_gardens710! Im very proud of my big lemon. I mean, one indoor plant producing a pound is almost unheard of. What a grow. Regarding that grassy chlorophyll smell, its always gonna happen after the plant is cut; however, this is the first time I did a slow whole plant dry in a dark space at 50%rh, and the hay smell was not nearly as pronounced nor did it last as long as opposed wet trimming. The good weed smell came back after about 2 or 3 days after cutting her down. I fell like wet trimming messes with the plants natural drying process, which throws off the breakdown of chlorophyll and carb/sugars etc. at a very important stage at the end of the plants life. So keep it low and slow bro 😎 Im unfamiliar with that particular dryer, but in any case you certainly dont want to rush it if youre looking to preserve the true smells. What is more, controlling your temp and humidity is the way to go to keep those terps.

Hey thanks @800peace! appreciate the comments, and the side lighting is super great for getting through the canopy from all angles. Bc this, I got big ol' buds way deep down in the canopy. Well, I'm a bit cagey about the nutrients i use, bc most people never heard of em, thus think its bunck and therefore wont understand how and why they are radically different and far superior to all other salt based nutrient lines (FF, GH, etc.). Its called Nectar for the Gods, a real small company out of Oregon, the line is more labor intensive bc requires frequent but smaller feedings bc this line is completely hydrolyzed, so you feed the plant directly instead of feeding the soil, which breaks down nutrients salts which then feed the plant. In addition to this organic line, I actively monitor my microbial colonies to maintain constant health and nutrient uptake. If you would like, i can break down my line in more detail bcs its quite a bit.

Hey thanks for taking a look @growdoctordc, and for leaving a super positive comment. I just joined this community and i'm real excited to share my progress and hard work. Youre right about the light tho, ill look into that. I have only been growing for 3 or 4 years now, but what I lack in experience I make up for in research abilities. Learning about cannabis is awesome, and breeding seems like the logical next step. Thurns out, Big Lemon up there ate up everything in her little 5gal pot, so its basically a soilless medium and she's eating me out of house and home! lol but I love her and she will definitely be worth it. Still a month and a half to go! isnt it weird that the smallest plant in the video is the same seed and breeder, and was planted on the very same day as Big Lemon.
