Shooting up right on schedule. Grand Daddy Black is stretching and distance between leaf nodes lengthen. She is 40 cm tall. Top fan leaves are big. Roots started to peekaboo out of the pot. And she is big enough to transplant. Grand Daddy Black also started to stink. This is in veg only and she is exuding skunky stench. This goonna be good. I like 60/40 Indica/Sativa ratio. The effect is both sociable and mellow down. However, I have quite a few of these strains going already. 95% Indica could be more useful in rest and relax healing sleep. Grand Daddy Black seemed to prefer going straight up. So, I pinched off the top bit in the beginning of the week. A few days later, leave buds are developing well. And I should have some side branches to make clones later. Wet drooping leaves since it rained the night before I took this week pics. The leaves are heavy with water. The runt plant that I tossed aside survived and is doing well in a 2-liters pot. She is small and I am letting her stay in her happy little pot for one more week. Then I would put her into flower. By the time the bigger Granddaddy Black plant is ready for harvest. Buds from runt plant should be reasonably cured for full report. Feeding, with amino seaweed only. And I sprayed her with one more round of Beauvaria bassiana bugs control microbes. No buzzing buds but this is the season for thrip and white fly. Prevention is better than cure.

This company @OriginalSensible has amazing genetics... really amazing! Nice plant man! Keep up! Lucky plants they have the proper outdoor opportunities ;).... and.... lucky you! Lol

@Ferenc, they recommended what would work for my poor man set up in wetbug infested tropical condition. Vegging is going very well. I reserve my judgement until I see how the strains behave in flowering. Although I am very optimistic about @OriginalSensible Seeds. Their Bruce Banner Fast version is indomitable against mold and bugs with super potent buds. Indeed very sensible.

you should try spinosad for thrips (or spide mites but i think that's thrips you got there) @Med_in_Tropic could be sprayed up to two weeks before harvest
Med_in_Tropic

@HerbalEdu, life cycle is shorter with higher temp. Decay rate is also faster. My interval is 1 week. I don’t want to give “sublethal dose”. It would inly speed up hatching rate and build bugs immunity. So i do it fully or not at all. This time i plan 3 doses. The aged plant does not need it. Leaves hardened already. After spray spinetoram, plant smell lessen. No bugs = no immnunity response. I need to spray aspirin to stimulate terpene actions. @GYOweed thanks man, it is a good trick to increase potency..

@Med_in_Tropic, never heard of abamectin, but it's already really efficient without. i sprayed my plants with 15 day interval and it totally eradicated infestation in all of my tent with first apllication and i haven't seen remaining living insect or new hatch when i sprayed the second time. spinoteram is a derivative of spinosad on the dow's exalt notice it say you can use it up to 3 day before harvest and it's certified for the food industries https://www.certiseurope.fr/fileadmin/FR/Telechargements/Fiches_etiquettes/Exalt_-_Fiche_Etiquette.pdf my spinosad notice have details for many vegetable, it's like trees (apple, pear etc.) 2 weeks before harvest, most underground plant like garlic, onion, potatoes etc. 15 days to 7 days before harvest and finally thing like strawberry, tomatoes and a few other 1-3 days before harvest i think you can safely use it 1-2 weeks before harvest with cannabis (prolly even shorter) edit: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17899400/ about abamectin it seem it help with some very resilient spider mites species

@Med_in_Tropic, yes immune boosters will drown them in sap. Of course wind and sun will help since you cant control humidity. Id hookup a solar fan and blow away those little bugs or get lady bugs and hover flies they pickem off the plants its cool watching them in summer here

I see you give yogurt... is it for bacteria?
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
Yes @sativaman, i meant dripping resin. In my climate it is wet and sticky in stead of hard as rock. I calculate N content in yogurt. And it is better if you adjust ratio to 1 part yogurt to 20 part water. N is roughly 1/3rd x protein content. I gave too much yogurt and it made leaves curl. For me i don’t care since it was the last feeding. If you want to do it earlier, 50 ml yogurt to 1 liter water would be better.

Thanks @Med_in_Tropic. I have been learning about LAB (and other KNF stuff since deficiencies while growing A5 Haze) but did not thought about yogurt!! By too wet to soon are you talking about resin and oil? Might be good for my 25% humidity tent!
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@sativaman, i always give yogurt ti last feeding. Yogurt bacteria make buds more potent. Key word to search is “LAB increase terpene” But i gave only one or two times otherwise buds get too wet too soon in hot climate.

@NugLife420, yes oh yes. I don’t have any grape smelling weed n my stash. I can hardly wait. From now i better pay attention to harvesting and drying proper.

Wow , grand daddy took off hey! Looks like one of your best yet mate, and good resin already for only 3 weeks. Mine are 3 weeks in flower too but not as thick as those. This one is really shaping up med 👍👍

Gran daddy seems to loves the tropical whether!!!
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@sativaman, she likes it hot. 😀😀😀😃 In theory, I can grow year round but buds will be to small wheat it get too hot. Buds rot when it’s too wet. This is actually the coolest and driest it would ever get around here. Probably my best harvest from in the next couple of months.

How I'm not following you??? what a galactic idiot I am... I thought I was following,sorry man. This GDB, Original Sensible Seeds offered me some promotion seeds months ago,this was one of them but clip pack came empty :D
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@HighRoller909, cheers mate 😀😀😀😀😀 I am flattered. GDB performance remain to be seen. I am worrying about the Grand daddy purple genetic. GDP has notorious tendency to hermaphrodite. If these are okay, then OSS truly did a very good job.

I like your garden! That beauvaria is awesome.. keep up the fight! I bet you are like me and always have more buds than can possibly smoke anyway... and keep growing!
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
Oh yes @sativaman, much more buds Tha I can handle 😀😀😀😀😀. I don’t smoke that much. (Yet I have high tolerance) And I even have plants that are not in my diaries. Off season buds goes to edible. Keep growing brother.

Geez its pumping along mate. Mine are never that size at 2 weeks.,, good prep for the outdoor conditions

@Shooey, only the strong survive my set up 😀😀😀😀. Put seedling in fertilized soil full of microbe kills a few plants. But the survivors are usually more vigorous. Some Time there is no survivor at all. First grow, I don’t care for number of plants. And I only use the strongest specimen. Then if things work out, I clone. It takes more time and space. At the moment, I am keeping three strains. Think that is my limit. To stay, a new strain will kick out one old strain.

this is a quick finisher and it is good to hear it has a stoney high.I would have given it a try if they didn't send me an empty clip pack of seeds :D

@Med_in_Tropic, this sounds like the panama,just other way around,it was a sativa.effects to come slow,hit you very deep and last until next night.I blended panama with auto girl scout cookies which was shit but the combination was very heavy.I think I chopped the panama 2 weeks early and it was very hot towards the end,lost some potency.but it was still very good that everyone liked it. Those seeds from Original Sensible was trials.They offered to send me some free ones to grow.I'm not complaining at all.Other 3 packs have seeds so I may give them a go.I'm just sticking with ACE nowadays as I find their strains amazing,truly amazing.At week 11 of flowering actually,I see huge colas and great aromas when I enter the room. :)

Med_in_Tropic
@HighRoller909, effect was slow to come. I guess that this is typical of pure Indica. I lit one up in an evening and it didn't quite hit me. So, i lit up another one. Then i got high enough. But not only the effect last all night, it extended to better part of the next day. Had a very nice day 😀😀😀😀 I ended up blending Zamaldelica and Granddy Black together in my smoke. Make it more balance. About getting empty packages, I hear you. Some thing wrong with the people organization. I had missing shipment before. Not quite the same but it still sucks. And there are other seeds companies with similarly modified GDP strains.

any difference beside taste when smoking decarb flower?
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@sativaman, de-carbed is much stronger. I think smoking alone doesn’t get full THC conversion. Smoking de-carbed get nearly 100% conversion. These are not de-carbed. They are crispy and yellow for two reasons. I hung them outside the under heavily shaded cinnamon tree. Still, the light kills green color. I think it speed up curing. Smell still sweet and strong to me. Second, i cooked the dried buds in microwave for a couple of minutes. I want to kill mold spores. After airing out the stem buds are over dried and heat burnt on the edges. Still smeloing sweet and fruity. And they do still improve after a couple of weeks in the jar. Good eyes!

i really hope it help keep thing under control, you should see the result pretty fast, thrips white dot on leaf should stop spreading right after first time spraying

@HerbalEdu, again thanks for your recommendation. Spinetoram seemed to be working on cannabis. It knocked mealy bugs out but on my hibiscus. It doesn’t quite eradicated mealt buga yet. So, two rounds per instruction.
