Welcome back to our Gary Payton grow diary! As we move into Week 6, our Gary Payton plants are settling well into their new pots and exhibiting strong growth. The decision to let them grow to their full size without topping is proving to be an interesting experiment. Week 6 Highlights: The plants have shown impressive growth following the transplant. Their stems are thickening, and the foliage is becoming denser, indicating healthy and vigorous growth. The roots have continued to develop robustly, aided by the Great White powder applied during the transplant. The plants are well-established in their new 12.5L pots. The introduction of Sugar Royal, Plagron Alga Grow, and Great White into the nutrient schedule is supporting the plants' vegetative growth. The plants are responding well to this regimen. The TrolMaster-controlled 4x4 tent continues to provide an optimal environment, with precise control over light, temperature, and humidity. This setup is crucial for maintaining the plants' health. Upcoming Plans: We will maintain the current nutrient schedule to support ongoing vegetative growth. As the plants continue to grow without topping, we will monitor their height, structure, and overall health. This will help us understand the full potential of the Gary Payton strain when grown to full size. Ongoing adjustments to the TrolMaster system will ensure optimal growing conditions as the plants progress. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey with our Gary Payton plants. Stay lifted, Salokin

Harvest was sad I didn't want to cut them down. That said, these baby's are dense as hell and smoke amazing. The water cure worked out well and pulled them out when the PPM dropped back to below 50. Not the best yeild but for what I'm going for it's] effect I already planted my next garden lol. Smoke report will have all the other details.

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.

Day 57 from seed the plant has been recovering very well from supercrop I supercrop two more branches because they were running into the light getting burn not only the leaves but the buds as well therefore no choice more HST but the plant is reacting well to the high training I also put some painters tape around the branches that I supercrop in order to allow them some support and allow some nutrients to continue to flow through the branch this situation is probably my fault because I choose 7 gallons pots I have never used such a big pot and the plans are definitely having lots of stretch room to grow looking forward to see this girl finishing and hoping she will be a monster. I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Both girls are healthy and happy. Buds are solid although still a bit small. Today my Mars Hydro TSW2000 arrived and it's already unpacked and hung. I raised the light dustance to 45 cm. I also moved the cheapo 100w LED to 2 new FastBuds Zkittlz Auto seedlings. Wow, what a difference good lighting makes!! The Mars Hydro TSW2000 is well made, easy to install and bright-ass daylight LED!! I expect to see significant fattening of the buds over the next 2-3 weeks. Update: I swear the existing buds doubled in size within the last 24 hrs after switching out the light to the Mars Hydro. I'm excited to see how these 2 finish. 4/22 update: I'll be damned! The box from the new light (which is heavy, double wall corrugated) fell onto both plants...I heard snapping everywhere! Good ole electrical tape to the rescue!! These girls look wounded with all this black tape! It's several hours after bandaging and I see no wilting or noticable changes....keeping my fingers crossed! The videos show both plants pretty well recovered from the damage except the purple stems and veins. I have some cal/mag coming Monday.... hoping that will fix that issue. Both are loving this new light and continue to pack on the bud weight.

Week 4 is now Here and running into some issue with bug spray really did a number on my girls. The XL Haze plant bounced back quick, Thank God for good gene. This week I will also raise the light a bit to get the girls to stretch a bit more. This week will also be the first day the girls get a some actual nuts

OCTOBER 11th to OCTOBER 17th Sunrise: 08:20| Sunset: 19:03 | Total Daylight: 10:43 This was another pretty good week for weather, however the last couple of days have been cloudy with rain, causing some spikes in greenhouse humidity. Temperatures for the most part have been good, with one overnight low in the greenhouse of 13C. Both Lemon Orange specimens are doing well, with Lemon Orange #1 nearing full ripeness for harvest, and Lemon Orange #2 slightly behind. Greenhouse is emitting very strong smells now, mostly a sweet skunk scent. Weather forecast appears as though it will be adequate and manageable temperature wise for the next week. DAY 155 Greenhouse 13C in the morning, with outdoor temperatures down around 3C (frost evident on rooftops in area). 500mL drip of plain rainwater to all specimens. DAY156 1L hand water BTI treated rainwater (no additives); Lemon Orange #1 showing some signs of purpling. Lemon Orange #2 fading nicely; Greenhouse held to 18C overnight, humidity a little high (51%) but dropped as sun rose; Overcast day; DAY 157 Beautiful sunny day, with warm temps; Greenhouse was 18C in the morning. DAY 158 -1C in the morning outside, 13C in the greenhouse, which is fine. Nice sunny day, drip watered 500mL of plain rainwater (cold) at 12:00 to Lemon Orange #2. DAY 159 Overnight low outside 5C, 17.5C in greenhouse, which is ideal. Humidity in check, at 41%. Cloudy, overcast day, with greenhouse heater working to maintain day-time temps of 21C (no solar energy to drive heating). DAY 160 Greenhouse 14C in the morning, 3C outside. Humidity at 41%; Clear morning, with some sun, turning cloudy with light rain in the afternoon, resulting in a humidity spike in greenhouse to 50%. DAY 161 Lots of rain overnight, causing spike in greenhouse humidity to over 60%; Will require monitoring; Temps in the morning 18C in the greenhouse, mild outdoors.

As the oldest one looks with 25 days of more approx 2 and a half weeks in advance as we can see, all calm advancing at the moment, enduring the high heat temperatures, the ones that were missing were transplanted into larger improvised pots.

Dli 40. Nice bud forming, loving the Ec 2.2. Gorilla zkittles seems an indica pheno pretty short. Mendocino x animal cookies just amazing sativa phenos. Some weeks to go. Definitely one plant will take longer to mature. So planning to get a small drying tent. Any recommendation?

Flush is on! A gallon a day each of pH’ed tap water for the next week and a half to 2 weeks. Fall colors galore incoming! One is already going mad purple as I started it on the flush a bit earlier.

This run came out even better than I expected! This beautiful bud has sweet sugar like undertones with powerful hints of lemon and a small hint of pine as well. I would highly recommend everyone to try this if they were to grow any autoflower out there it is by far the easiest auto I’ve ever had and the prettiest in the tent. I have also pressed some into wax since it dried and cured for a few weeks and it literally looks like peanut butter and jelly it’s a light creamy color with purple as well and taste so amazing it’s actually my favorite rosin I’ve ever pressed. Harvested at day 53 Flower fed floraflex the whole run no cal-mag.

Ho hum veg veg. The boring weeks that make the plant. Started with some LST but decided to give this girl the freedom to grow. Trimmed the lowest fan leaves only. Moved her around in the tent to give her some space and better light and airflow. Slight increase in nutrient strength.
