Ok boys here is update number 11. The girls are now 77 days old and just finished week 6 of flower from flip. Everything has been good with the ladies, they are really starting to get top heavy and starting to lean. In 2 more weeks i will either be going 11/13 or dropping some more ppfd. Girls are all around 840 to 950 ppfd. Want to do best i can to help them finish optimum. Im still doing jacks at 3.8 part a, 2.3 part b, and 1.2 of magnesium sulfate, with a heavy 1/4 tsp of armor si per gallon and bud candy at 4ml per gallon. Ive only done the fulvic a couple times to keep the cation exchange amped up. Lastly im still hitting them twice a week with fishsh!t as well. Any suggestions or questions…feel free. Here they are in all there glory

Beautiful sight for these old eyes, big canopy.
Ilgms GDP shows 23%. The write up, 100% indica, anyway, was NOT interested.
Postman delivers package, just so happens to be some GDP i didnt order. An unexpected gift.
I just grew Purple Punch 
that is high on my list of likes.
Add GDP to that list, coildnt tell the difference.
It just goes to show that we might put more into those numbers, over thinking too much.
To be honest, i dont really go below 25%, i have a banana that was at 27% lowered to 21%. And Banana has been repeat grow even after Ilgm lowered the percentage.
Numbers can be misleading in choices we make.

Numbers are definitely misleading. The part i love is elsewhere grand daddy purple is not a 100% indica. So which is it? How can a plant that it is mixed with some sativa and reproduce with another to make 100% indica? Not to mention the amount of inconsistencies of phenos with various strains. This is why im starting to think to keep a mother of each strain that is grade “a” and clone as im ready. Of my 4 ladies. Only two is similar and other two are completely different with each other. One of mine will take atleast a month longer then the rest. I know the theory of having 5 kids and all different…but geez maybe something similar on all of them??? Nope.

Were you not interested bc percentage of thc was lower? Or the 100% indica? Free seeds from the sound of it!

Lower thc,
We selected Banana for our very first grow. Rv shower, something we didnt think would smell bad growing and was listed at 27 %.
Then, it was dropped to 21%, contacted Ilgm customer service. Mentioned the 27 was selling point. So get something else.
Wedding Cake, Runtz, Dos-Si-Do, Purple Punch. All very good smoke, Purple is the one that was first to have 98% nutes delivered. And pH dialed in.
GDP is very nice buzz.

@Poseidon1 alot of sites advertise landrace strains. Glad to see someone else sees the bs too. Just like the newest Landrace they are calling rainbow…it didnt exist until people started learning about landraces…how could it be a landrace…

I personally don’t think numbers matter that much.
I had some Moroccan kush one time from a dispo. 15% thc wasn’t going to buy it but I’m a kush connoisseur so I did buy it and I was amazed I was higher than air force one.
Edit I think you as a person matters and your enviorment just hallucinogens. It’s like smoking outside when it’s 100 degrees outside and sun beaming down I don’t care what the number is it won’t do that much to me. But I go smoke that same strain indoors. Bam! Take off.

Hey guys im back. I was blocked from here since sunday. My apologies to people that were messaging me on this topic and others. Had a disagreement with some1 and somehow i was a little rough. Honestly for a couple of older guys, pretty surprised i would have expected that from younger crowd. Im going to be laying low for a while but for any of you who got questions or wisdom to share. All for it.

Update number 12. Ok guys the girls are now 84 days old and starting wk 8 of flower. I dropped the ppfd to 700 to 750 range. Still getting some random minor new white pistils so that is telling me its was time to reduce the light some. Im sure some would say its still bulking…but it is more important (for me) to finish properly. Just do not wanna see a single white hair at harvest. I also reduced my jacks to 80% or the standard 3-2-1. I believe they are not eating as much since tds was rising a tad again. I believe i will be taking two of them down in two more weeks. (Or at end of wk10) 1 more at 11wk, and last one will take until the end of wk12…geez so slow that one, wish that pheno was not in the gene pool! Here they are grow bros, as usual any suggestions or criticism is welcome, any questions welcome too.

Ok guys, update number 13. The girls are now 91 days old and just starting wk 9. I started the flush of water only on one plant. Its really close and looking good, got slight amber trichomes starting. I did find a nanner on her so i know its ready, but it is certainly annoying when you get them. All i know is they been getting fed twice a day and everything been on point, def not stress. So it must be trying to self pollinate (rodelization). So all said a d done i will be taking a plant down every friday going forward, 1 end of wk 9, 1 at end of wk 10, then 11, and finally 12. No consistency with the gdp thats for sure, but they all seem good. Two of the plants are my ideal plants. Finally getting some reveg growth on the monster crop clones of my favorite pheno. Here they are…

Update #14- the girls are now 98 days old, and just finished week 9 of flower (day 63 from flip). All has been well, tomorrow is the last sunrise for one of the girls. I know alot like to do the 48 hrs of darkness, it is not possible with a staggered harvest. I would harvest at lights on…but i got to much stuff going on. To some this is a deal breaker, but harvested weed during the day is fine for me. If its good, its good. Its not magically going to be fire either if not good and harvested after a 48 dark period either. Kinda like trichomes…lol the way things have changed. In the 90’s i never carried a loupe in the woods doing guerrilla grows. I go by look but do got a crappy trichome pic for you guys. The monster crop clones are going good to, still have not figured out if im going to run one monster or just end the experiment. Im sure after all the trimming i will want a break! The last three plants will be harvested in 2 to 3 more weeks. In the picture to follow, the back right plant is the one that has been flushed, hence the yellowing, at 400 tds for runoff in the coco. Any input, comments, criticism or questions are welcome!
