Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
Zamnesia’s Larry Bird Kush promises a specially selected pheno that is actually the Gelato 33, that has a distinctive thin-mint/cookie smell and flavor and It should reach 20+ levels of THC with ease. I smell a lot strong, sweet and tantalizing smells, but if you ask me which plants have the thin-mint cookie smell then I would say plant D and G have the most intense smell off all plants. The strain shows nice dense bud clusters along stretchy branches, sparkling with juicy resin.
This strain receives a fat 9 because it’s a very nice strain. Top 3 personal favorite. This feeling is further enhanced by the great results with Green Buzz Liquids nutrient program, which I’m sure helped making also the lower popcorn buds dripping with resin. My topping was off, but that only means I can harvest even more next time. The quality is top shelf, this is how I want it always. Vaping this weed makes for thick clouds of vape with maximum taste, and everything sticks together even when emptying the vape, that’s sticky!
Positive effects
Negative effects
Green Buzz Liquids delivers on the promise of excellent products, with a well thought through and clearly documented nutrient program which I got to use for the first time this grow, and with excellent results. The plants really love the nutrients and show top health. Also Growzyme I think is a great addition to the already great program, well done Green Buzz Liquids and thanks for this experience!
Harvest took quite some time, with lots of branches to work through. Even got me in trouble with updating the other diary. But now that it’s finished I’m very happy with the result. That the excellent nutrients from Green Buzz also made the lower buds so sticky means a lot because now this bud can also be vaped. When there is just not enough resin in lower buds it doesn’t taste well, and you’ll end up making oil or brownies from it. Here the quality is dripping of the buds!
Working with Growzyme this round was my first time using any brown-algae extract. It certainly has a positive effect on the amount of resin in the bud, only the bud itself, specifically the small size and weight, and the large amount of leaf around them, makes me prefer the regular program at this point. Also seen by the end weight, the +Gz side delivered less. But I think that only using it from switch to 12/12 like I did this round makes a difference, please read my experiences with applying it during the whole cycle with the next Gold Bar grow! The side that didn’t receive Gz produced more dense and larger bud, more sugarleaf and a larger end weight.
Plant H was a bit of a strange one, at this point I have already found about 30 seeds in this pheno, the rest of the pheno’s don’t have any seeds. Plant A produced a lot of very fluffy buds, breaking up when trying to trim them because of the brittleness because it actually does contain a lot of resin. That’s why I’d added it to the small bud’s total. A and H where the bad pheno’s I think.
@Fruitgrower: thanks, i watched your proces with the Gelat OG. Could you point me towards someone who is most experienced in this proces? I think your retarding to much considering the state when you flipped 12/12. I would like to see the most efficiënt version of this proces. Thanks for the input bro!
There are a few growers here doing awesome mainlining that's why I wanted to try it out. I can't remember their names though.... @sticky does some. And I think a couple of the master growers have done good ones. This w my first attempt and it spent the first 8 weeks under cfl bulbs(could be why it's squat and dwarf like.
@Fruitgrower, ok, i'll see too it, but given the double vegtime i don't think it's going to work. It's important not to retard to much during veg, or timing it correct if you will. What you did with lollipopping so early threw at least 3 weeks delay. What would happen if you start topping, you now did with 3 weeks, but much later with a higher situated node. If you would let it grow until 5 or 6 weeks, and meanwhile pinch every branch beginning except the top two! All that leaf will grow big and deliver energy to your plant, like it's personal solar-field :smirk: Then you start mainlining like you did week 5. The plant will have plenty of energy to grow, and lollipopping at that point, except your fanleafs below offcourse, like you did with your current grow, won't retard so much. Cheers bro!
@Budcrack, I also did something very similar called fluxing (which is when you do it really early and with younger plant). I did this with an auto Ggg1 and it worked great! There is a great tutorial by nugs bucket on grow weed easy, Google it, it helped me alot. But yes it is going to double your veg period.
@Fruitgrower, yeah, i know, but your trying it that's great! But i have to see how an efficiënt grow develops to determine if it fit's my yearly schedule. It's no use if i have to pregrow for more than 10 weeks, but i fear that if you manage to grow a big plant with this technique that it's gonna take a while to do so. My search continues, thanks bro! :facepunch:
