Method ๐๏ธ
Medium: ๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅ๐ฅฅ
1 volume emoji because there really was no method to this grow. Plant seed, let grow, cut down, enjoy regularly๐.
Any time you have the luxury of rooting this plant in the earth (where it belongs) is a huge bonus. She didnโt need much of anything and took all she required (for the most part anyway) from the garden๐. OGโs in the emerald triangle pride themselves on the makeup of their soil and the quality of the plants they grow. I like to think that while this girl didnโt have that benefit - she got as close as she could to it here in the north. She was struggling heavy at the start when she was indoors. It mustโve been my error some how but she hated the coco medium, hated the nutes and hated the grow light. As soon as she was moved outside, she was a completely different plant - like she had been begging for the sun the whole time. 5/5 coconuts because you simply canโt beat growing in the ground as the cannabis gods intended๐.
Yield๐ด๐ด๐ด
Ahhh the great equalizer of grower egos. Letโs put all of the above in perspective; this girl ended up where she was out of necessity. She was exposed to the elements and potential rippers and named โthe decoyโ because her express purpose was to draw attention away from the other 2 plants that we didnโt want anyone messing with. Thankfully, no one with a thought to theft ever really noticed her and it wasnโt until late flower that she demonstrated herself to be an award winning plant๐๐ค๐. Woulda thought sheโd yielded more with how thin her side branches were in comparison to the buds. They were massive and she was ready to fall over by the time the chop window opened. But the buds were also somewhat less dense which made their final sizes a little deceiving. Another limiting factor was that some of her branches were pollinated - probably from a randy bumblebee that had gotten into it somewhere else. Like the other 2 outdoors this year, we pulled 6 or 7 seeds off this girl that may eventually get used in future grows. Iโm certainly not opposed to the occasional seed as long as sheโs not a full-on hermie that canโt be used. Who knows, maybe a breeding project Is in the cards next year๐ค. End of the day, results were about as expected given her conditions and growing environment - 6.51oz of sun grown, sativa goodness๐. 3/5 palm trees for this - without some training and a more accommodating environment - we definitely left some of her potential on the table here. Thereโs still more than enough to go around though๐.
Props
Again, a shout out thank you to GD for the platform. Big thank you to HSO for breeding some wicked, awesome beans. And another shout out to good karma for seeing us through this one. Of course some special mention to those who swung in to creep on it these past weeks.
Special mention to my buddy @sKitzO for the discussion and sound advice. If anyoneโs interested in seeing this plantโs full potential with training and a nute plan then check his dockside, pot-grown 707โs - just gorgeous, abundant, beefcake plants๐ช. Much appreciated homie๐.
From our bong to yours, may the weather be ever in your favour๐๐๐ค๐๐.
