Welcome to our second attempt at a community grow off! This gracious group of members have volunteered their space for an outdoor run of Godfather OG.
We’ll be dropping seeds during the week of May 18th and hoping that everyone has favorable weather for an awesome fall harvest. Please make your best attempt to post one update per week on or as close to Sunday as possible to keep consistent flow of the thread.
In your first post please give a general description of your growing conditions, nutrients, grow plan, etc. And include pictures of your garden and seeds dropped.
For weekly updates please copy paste the template below and update with relevant info. Then include TWO pictures, one wide angle shot showing your grow and the other to highlight what you believe to be the best feature each week. Feel free to leave whatever additional info you feel important in the grower comments section.

Number of seeds dropped: dropped all 10. plan to pass a couple off to @DEEPDIVERDAVE
Number of plants to flower: n/a
Number of days from sprout: n/a
Number of days since flowers identified: n/a
Day/Night temp and RH: cool week only getting into the 60s. Very wet and rainy.
Watering/feeding frequency: water will be from aquarium waste water and creek/rain water. Water when they go wilty. I like to let them look for water by wilting a day.
No feeds. They will be fed on nothing but the living soul soil. No commercial feeds or fertilizers now, this is the 7th spring of only local inputs all homemade. Mostly amended in the fallow off season with fall leaf litter and composted table scraps. I love Biochar and wood ash too. Char char char🎵is my song.
Grower comments: I am so glad to be a part of this friendly grow along. We all get to know each other better this way comparing notes. Love it. We get to all see the new and old gromies gardens together with the same plants. What fun. Thanks for looking. Not much to see yet. lol

Hopefully I get both to germinate one will go in the Dog run closest to the pond. One will go in the same hole I grew Godfather OG in 2 years ago where the greenhouse used to be. I have a 2025 outdoor journal going. Ill try to keep my comments not related to this grow off over there.
The Gaia bag is 2 kg / 4.4 lbs. , I’ll use that for veg monthly or as needed per waterings.
First round with a true living soil and def interested in some of the differences from using synthetics in an inert medium like the pro mix that I’m used to and using a living soil blend.
Also picked up a couple other things while I was there.
Dropping 2 fem GFOG seeds from ILGM. 5/18/25.
Same way I did the others in paper towel.
On top of my amp , covered with a dark towel at 80 deg f.
Initially they’ll go into some promix for the first couple weeks then some living soil with top dress as needed for the remainder.

It’s Going to be a good summer.
I can feel it.
Hey all. Happy Sunday to all of the Outdoor Godfather OG, Fem, Photo, Growers Group! Say that 3 times fast! Dropped seeds this afternoon, approximately 3:30PM, PST. Just wanted to start my post to share. 5/18/25
Number of seeds dropped- 5 5/18/25
Number of plants to flower- N/A
Number of days from sprout- N/A
Number of days since flowers identified- N/A
Day/Night temp and RH- 85/85…lots of RH
Watering/feeding frequency- N/A Germinating
Grower comments- Starting 5 seeds with the intent of getting 4 viable seedlings. Using my modified CannaKan as my germination base. Temperature of heat mat at 95f but that means internally it should be 85f. Using filtered water with a smidge of H2O2 for the soak. Soak will be 24 hours, change water and H2O2 and have just a little in the bottom for moisture for another 24 hours. The CannaKan will keep the moisture moving through convection. After that, planning to go into GH Rapid Rooters into a seedling tray with lights and another heat mat. Let them go like that until ready to plant.
2 will go into 10 gallon fabric pots. 1 will be using the 3-part Masterblend formula, the other 1 I will be trying the new CX Horticulture nutrients that I just got. Hope those guys will be my side by side comparison. 1 will go into my outdoor 5-gallon bucket DWC hydroponics setup using MB nutrients. The last 1 will go into the ground in my garden. MB nutrients there as well and a Ninja Gnome for protection.
Here’s some pictures of my germination setup. Hope you enjoy them.
Number of seeds: 4
Growing conditions: outside in half an old whiskey barrel
Medium: compost and FoxFarms Ocean Forest
Nutes: green Planet (will update this if needed)
Grow Plan: mutha naturrr
Photo of garden: unfortunately I was about a block away from where the tornado hit in St Louis (not hyperbole I watched the clouds start spinning and yelled at the neighbors to go in their basement) so after I cut up the trees I lost I’ll be able to get the pics

3 doing well, one just coming out of soil, other nothing still.
Residing in tent set in seed tray with humi dome until weather gets better than outdoors they go, should be able to start giving 6.5 ph water by Wed, will transplant at 3-4 nodes or when I roots out the bottom of cups into 10 gal bags with Sunshine mix #4 amended with MegaCrop, medium from last yrs grow.
Watering/feeding frequency. Drench to drought. None since the initial when putting in cups 6 days ago.
Grower comments.
So far so good. My getto humidifier seems to be working well enough to keep them happy.
Bit funky first leaves on the one in back due to some clumsy tweezer work with a seed liner removal but going to be fine.
Going to run one in living soil and one with reused pro mix Sunshine 4 from the last couple seasons and try some maxi grow and bloom when the time comes.
Good morning all. Happy holiday weekend. 1st week update since dropping seeds to soak. Hope everyone has a great day.

Grower comments
3 plants growing, transplanted yestery am in 10 gal fan pots, they are taking to outdoor well and loving the sun, today has the fire smoke haze pretty thick but can not smell it., awaiting the wife to get back from Asparagus picking them move them from garage to the sunshine, and give a bit more water, will start the diet of Mega crop @ 350-400 pm to get it in to the Sunshine mix # 4 deeper. Winds are picking up again they will be tough ones for sure.Pics of lil gals and the home where they will set for duration after the storm Wed.
