Added a liberal amount of Biobizz-Grow, GO Diamond Black, and Marphyl Marine Phytoplankton on Day 3 of week 2 as yellowing and deficiencies were starting to occur. Growth was moving quite fast and past the edges of the solo cup so on day 7 transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pot after a bit of pruning. Using Pro-Mix HP as medium and added extra myco about every couple of inches and around the roots before transplanting.

Grew the growth tips out a bit I had chosen to start the mainline with and then topped above and pruned everything below. Watered on day 3 with compost/nutrient tea which was brewed for 3 days and consisted of Bokashi Pro Gro compost, some blackstrap molasses, Marphyl marine phytoplankton, Biobizz grow (beet vinasse), Diamond Black (Humic Acids), and CaMg+ (Calcium/Magnesium/etc.) Growth started picking up again at the end of the week after the top and mainline.

Upped amount of bio grow by 0.5 tsp/gal. Letting soil dry more in between waterings to try to establish a larger root system quickly. Continuing training to maintain an even canopy and the mainline to establish 12 colas and 4 potential clones to be cut before the switch to flower.

Lightly defoliating every 2 or so days to remove large leaves and give more light to growth tips. Preparing for the switch to flower and will give one more nutrient filled compost tea at the end of week 7

Fed compost tea on day 3, which was brewed for 3 days and contained listed nutrients along with 1/3 cup Bokashi pro-gro compost and 1 tbsp/gal of blackstrap molasses. Showed noticeably thicker and even quicker growth a day or so after. Switching to flower environment on day 1 of next week (week 9) and will remove much of the larger leaves and ones which are blocking light to bud sites then.

Happy with the defoliation achieved but will still be removing a few leaves here and there blocking bud sites. Gave bokashi compost tea at the beginning of the week. Continuing with larger feeding regimen than normal as she is a heavy feeder

Week 16. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated

Buds didn’t fatten up as much as expected but are quite dense because it had quite the stretch and seemed to be a more sativa dominant pheno. The effect when consuming is a very nice relaxing body buzz and works extremely well for me for insomnia. The flowery grape taste typical of GDP is really starting to come out the longer I cure but the buds are also wafting with a beautiful caramel aroma

A huge feeder in her entire life cycle and a quick vegger. Took well to bending and training and always sprung back quickly from a defoliation session. I was hoping nodes would have been closer and it was a more compact plant but I am very happy with how it turned out.

Hi man I got a granddaddy purple by Blim burn and it’s 5 weeks into flower. And just wanted to ask when it started turning purple? Was it the last week? Thanks man
MyrceneDream
MyrceneDreamcommented6 years ago
@Kiewil1, Not sure about the time-frame as buds on mine didn’t actually turn purple because it wasn’t the purple phenotype. The purple-ish leaves in the pics is because of flushing I did in the last few weeks.

Wicked mainlining! Do you think this method can work as well with a clone vs a seed? I want to try it...but it's definitely not for the faint of heart...mainlining takes so much precision and well...courage to even start to attempt it. Lol Yours is looking amazing, well done so far.✌️
MyrceneDream
MyrceneDreamcommented6 years ago
@Experimentgreen, Thank you! Haven’t tried it yet so I can’t give an experienced opinion but I imagine the nodes may not be as symmetrical as straight from seed if the clone is a mature cut. Taking a cut from a flowering plant (monstercropping) would be an awesome mainline experiment I think because the new growth can start in all kinds of weird directions after the revert back to veg. Could make for an interesting scrog setup too
