@OldSkool I need all the help I can get honestly. This first grow has been a hell of a ride and a learning experience for sure. I messed up a LOT in the beginning honestly!
ThermoNukePanda, what strains! The 2nd pic! Oh I like!
Your plant looks good! Still putting on weight and has some time to go. I can’t remember exactly how long my gg went for but it was definitely longer then the others in the tent. Also ended up with more then 6 zips and some good smoke. Keep feeding it for a bit longer to help it put in the weight.
OMG…. How did you get nothing but big huge colas?!? Those are beautiful.
@OldSkool @Menace Haha thanks you two. A couple of those buds are as big as my forearms ![]()
All three babies are Granddaddy Purple autos from ILGM.
ThermoNukePanda, I thought so, it looked like GDP, we grew 2018 @7 lbs from 3 tress. Good smoke! The bad, there’s 2 so here goes, my experience! Growing trees like I used to, trimming the popcorn budz, was no fun, 2 weeks with 2 people no Bueno! 2nd. It turns so fast, we had to turn 1 1/2 lbs into hash to keep it potency. I don’t think trimming is an issue for you, just My experience that’s all. If it’s cured right like mine at 26% thc! Waiting to test my INDOOR RUNTZ! Hoping 30% cause it’s f n
not bad for an Okie!
@OldSkool Yeah there’s no way I’m getting anywhere NEAR 7lbs from my 3 plant babies ![]()
I’ve got some nice colas it seems, and I’m proud of my first grow, but I’m hopeful to pull maybe 4-8 Oz dry from them ![]()
I can’t remember who was talking about it, but I remember I need to look into like some pollen press thing as well. I don’t know how much “hash” I’ll get, but they made it seem easy to press the powder left over from curing/trimming into little pucks which seemed cool!
And I can only hope for that potency on my first grow! I’m growing for medicinal purposes mostly. I’ve smoked most of my life, but I shattered a vertebrae last year and no way I’m going down the opiod path ever
Thank you @PP3121. I really kinda screwed myself. I had 3 autos and a gifted clone in a 2x4 tent with the supposed 1000w LED lights. I was told they’re really only 100w but output is higher?? I’m allowed 5 in my state due to major spinal injuries amongst other health issues. 6 qualifying conditions and when I kept asking for more opioids…… Dr actually gave me no choice lol. So, I started smoking again after 12 years. Still suffer but at least I do it with a smile on my face😎.
So 2x4 for 2 plants and I could do 4 in a 4x4??
ThermoNukePanda, no but, 3 plants,
1 x 5 gal x 3” budz x 8
1 x 5 gal x 6” budz x 10
1x 15 gal x 8” budz x 12/13
Roughly 2.3-2.8 lbs
Wax press like mine to make fresh wax! 4 ton or 6 ton press is the way to go
ThermoNukePanda, making the hash is easy, all you need is the machine like I have and 5 gal bucket, and bubble bags, I recommend 7, or more bags, bigger yields.my Blue cookies trim last yrs harvest 60g x 32 x 24 768 which is 1.69 lbs of hash! Smoking the hash helps my nerve damage. Wax same thing! Smashed L3-5 S1-S2 because some mf can’t stop
at a light, non airbag deployment! Oh f n Toyota had the airbag recall just done within 8/9 months before the accident! Damn! F n car crashes, hope you and don’t need the surgery I regret mine, my cousin 3 times, done for life! Hope you can go back to work again soon
Sorry to hear about the injuries. However, good to hear that you can have some relief without the fear of overdose!
From what I have read and seen, you could get four beasts in a 4x4. Again, lighting will be your biggest factor in quality of bud.
Keep posted, and continued success.
Im in a similar boat with my GG autos ( outdoor)…this is my first time…Ive noticed a few of mine seem stunted and not producing trichome …are these just bad plants at this stage ?
Well @Eddieboy1313 …… I came home from work yesterday and …. There they were. Just beginning to form so do not abandon yet. This was my first grow in over 15 years and I did everything I shouldn’t have. Over crowded, poor lighting and not high enough tent. My GG AUTO was rootbound as well and transplanted 3 weeks ago. I’m moving in a week and a half so I’ll let ya know what happens
I am growing an auto for the first time, Blue Dream, and she didn’t form trichomes until well into week 4 of flowering. Patience is a virtue and will be rewarded. We are having a scent party now…Oh My!
