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

These ladies have really been through it, they had beed getting fed everyday by my roommate in what I can only assume was an attempt to hill them because my plants looked better than his. I've been trying to baby them and slowly they are bouncing back

The plants are still growing at a good pace. Just finished their 1st week on 12-12. They definitely filled out so we went ahead and did like a 40 % defoliation to help the light get through all those branches. Waiting to see the start of the stretch and some more early signs of preflower. I was short on time or inwould have more up close shots of early signs, I'll edit mid week and update on how they bounced back from the trimming.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of flowering. I got my 2 long and narrow paper bags out. The ones the french bread are in at the store. The ones with the long plastic window in them. I went to the male plant, that I have in a different greenhouse, and got some of the open flowers and pollen inside the paper bags. This is a good male. It has lots of flowers, not many leaves, is not too tall, and is good smelling with the "rub the stem and smell your fingers" test. And the smell stays on my fingers for a few minutes, not disappearing in a few seconds. Careful not to dump out the pollen I slid the bag over the buds I pick out. I pinched the bag around the branch and held it with a clothes peg. I gently shoock the bag to get the pollen to each flower pistil. When I closed up for the night I shoock up the bag again. I gently took the bags off the next morning, careful not to spray pollen all over the place, then went a got some more pollen for the next plants. and repeated for all 6 plants. Got some yellowing of some of the older leaves. This is sort of self pruning to me, but I will add some extra nitrogen next time to slow the yellowing. I've seen a few fungus gnats around, but nothing to worry about. Ok. The Adventure Goes On. Be Great. Chuck

Entlauben und Lollipoppen Es ist wieder eine Woche vergangen. Die LCC hat sich nun bei 110cm eingefunden und angefangen die Buds schwellen zu lassen. Der Top wirkt leicht mutiert. Der Zucker nimmt deutlich zu, sowie der Geruch. Das hieß nun für mich, da es Zeit technisch auch dran war, zu Entlauben und Lollipoppen. Da unten rum sehr wenig hängt, war es eine schnelle Geschichte. Oben rum sind einige Fächerblätter der Schere zum Opfer gefallen. Licht ist also genug vorhanden, für die unteren Etagen. Das restliche Gesamtbild der Blätter, lässt aber zu wünschen übrig… Farbtechnisch sind in an den Buds, ganz zarte Pinktöne wahrzunehmen – ob sie noch ein saftiges Lila bekommt? Das Kirsch-Zitronen Aroma, so spritzig und Mund wässrig machend, wird von einem erdigen, Keks artigen Ton eingeholt… Es haut einen aus den Socken. Der Gesamtgeruch ist noch „Schwach“, aber beim entfernen der unteren Popcorn Buds wurde deutlich, das es bald vorbei ist mit „Geruchsarm“ Die PH ist fleißig am Stretchen. Ich kann noch etwas derigieren und so gut die Fläche ausfüllen. Sie hat leichte Anzeichen, dass ich es etwas zu gut gemeint habe...aber sonst ist alles saftig. Einige Triebe haben sich doch abgehoben von der Gesamtfläche und bilden mehrere Hauptcolas. Die PH wird nächste Woche entlaubt und gelollipoppt. Dort ist dann einiges wegzunehmen. Momentan hat sie ca. 35cm an Höhe, wenn man die höchste Top nimmt. Ansonsten spielt sich viel auf 25 cm Höhe ab. Ich bin gespannt wie sie nächste Woche aussieht. Sie hat mittlerweile auch eine hauch feine Zuckerschicht bekommen. Und wenn ich sie sanft berühre, kann man das leise „öffnen einer Flasche Sprite“ hören. Farbtechnisch macht sie aber ihrem Namen noch keine Ehre – egal! Die BPP ist auch durch mit ihrem Stretch. Sie baut richtig Masse auf an den Buds und daher wird auch hier die Tage gelollipoppt und entlaubt. Hier ist auch etwas Arbeit von Nöten. Das Gesamtbild ist Top. Die Buds bekommen ein kräftiges Lila. Der Zucker ist sehr deutlich erkennbar und nimmt zu. Der Geruch wenn man die Popcorn Buds berührt ist unbeschreiblich. Süß, fruchtig irgendwie, wie ein blumiges Gummibärchen. Die gute hat eine Größe von ca. 60cm. Nur die LCC bekommt etwas mehr, außer der Reihe. Ansonsten bleibt alles Nähstoffmäßig so wie vorher. 3ml CalMg/L und 1ml/PK13/14/L – Es wird alle 2 Tage gegossen, 1 mal die Woche gefüttert. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich nun bei 45-55% je nach Ecke – passt. Nun steht etwas Arbeit an zum Weihnachtsfest – dafür bekomme ich hoffentlich dicke Geschenke im neuen Jahr! Also bis zur nächsten Woche und ein Fröhliches Fest!

My gas tax plant is looking absolutely incredible right now. It's got these massive buds that are super dense and have this awesome dark color to the leaves. I'm so excited to see how it turns out when it's finally ready to be harvested. I've been checking the height, the thickness of the stem, and the density of the buds to get an idea of how much longer I have to wait. I think I might start flushing it soon. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Day 64 Flower (Day 106) Today is the first day of the 10th week of flower and I put on a powerful headlight and some magnifying glasses and closely inspected the right girl during the dark period, so the colors from the grow lights didn't fool me. Unfortunately, I found another couple of buds with bud rot. Soon I'll have to decide to harvest the plant now and cut my losses even though she isn't done, or I'll take my chances and let her go a while longer. I turned up my extraction fan, installed another circulation fan, and ordered a dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that all those measures will bring down the humidity in the tent (unfortunately, I can't do anything about the temps) and prevent further rot. I will let her go another few days and see if any additional rot pops up. Fingers crossed that it won't. The left girl is just doing her thing, but it doesn't look like she will fatten her buds. I guess all that stress in the tiny tent was too much for her. No matter what the result of this grow will be, it certainly has been a great learning experience. Day 65 Flower (Day 107) Things are looking good for the right girl as I haven't found any more bud rot yet. Turning up the extraction fan certainly helped, not only with the humidity but also the temperature dropped. Not by a huge amount, but I'll take whatever improvement I can get. Today the dehumidifier arrived as well, and I put it in the tent right away. The humidity in the tent has now dropped from the high 60s to a much more suitable mid-40s, and I hope this will be enough together with additional air circulation to prevent any further rot. I looked a bit closer at the trichomes today and found that most have gone cloudy, and I finally found some amber ones (about damn time!). I'm aiming for around 20-25% amber in this harvest as I'm hoping for a relatively "heavy" smoke - one of those frying-pan-to-the-head kinds of smokes suitable for late nights. Day 66 Flower (Day 108) Still no signs of more bud rot. Fingers crossed All I did today was to mix up some more nematodes in water and then feed each girl with 3 liters of it at ph 6.4. I'm not sure it was necessary for my main tent as the fungus gnats seem to have died out by themselves. I put in a new yellow sticky trap yesterday, but it was still empty today, and many dead gnats were lying on the tent floor. I have no real idea why, as I don't use any pesticides, but maybe the gnats really don't like this new low humidity in the tent. In any case, I'm just happy that the little buggers are gone. Day 67 Flower (Day 109) The bud rot is still staying away, and I'm getting hopeful that it will stay gone. All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water. She was a bit thirsty as I had the irrigation turned off for a couple of days due to the nematodes I gave them yesterday. I've now turned on the system in each tent and will just cruise along until harvest. The girls are already way over time, but most trichomes are cloudy, and I've started to see some amber here and there. Although, not much of a fade so far. Day 68 Flower (Day 110) All I did today was snap a couple of pics. It's all just a waiting game at this point, and I hope it won't take that much longer. I'm ready to cut the girls down and have some time off before the next season is here. I plan to grow a couple of photo CBD girls in my main tent and maybe an auto in my smaller tent. We'll see. But yeah, first, the current grow must come to an end. It looks like the left girl is starting to get her fade on, so there's that at least. I didn't bother looking at the trichomes today, but I'll have another look in a day or two. Day 69 Flower (Day 111) I didn't do a single thing with the girls today except snapping a couple of pics. What I did, though, was to make a smoke test of the right girl. Let me explain: Earlier this week, I had to cut off four buds due to bud rot. Out of those four buds, I saved two small tops after trimming off all rot (as well as plenty more just to be safe). I left those tops on the tent floor, where they dried in only a few days, and yesterday I decided to try a smoke. Naturally, I can't say anything about taste as this weed is dried the worst way possible: fast, hot, and in the light. On top of that, it's not cured either. That being said, holy smokes, batman! This stuff kicks like a mule, which is why I didn't post this last night already. I was too stoned to care. Precisely the effect I was hoping for from this harvest: properly stoned and incredibly lazy. Boom! Day 70 Flower (Day 112) Today was the last day of week 10 of flower. Not much exciting is happening this late in flower, so it is primarily a waiting game at this point. I did remove the irrigation system from the left girl and will hand water her instead. That cheap system I had was too erratic, and I'm better off without it. Plus, I hope that she will be done soon-ish. She will never win a beauty contest due to her scraggly foxtail flowers, but I'm still happy to get something from her considering all the stress she went through. The right girl has been doing fine all week, and no other bud rot has been seen since I fixed her environment. I rechecked the trichomes today, and still hardly any amber in either girl. I'll let them go for another week, but then it is time for the chopping block. This grow already went a lot longer than planned initially, and it is time to bring it to a close soon.

Excellent growth this week from the diesel, looking pretty much finished will give her few days depending on whether. The cheese is small but the smell coming of it is unreal. Just gave plain water in between the rainy days, will just give water rest of time. That’s all this week happy growing🌱
