Hey HMG!
Thank you!
I have to say that GDP has been a pleasure to grow and regardless of what size the plant is, it always produces and impressive yield for the space you are able to give it!
SO GLAD that I have four GDP clones nicely vegging in my bathroom grow room!
Oh my god! Thats is truly AWFUL!! It is hard for anyone who loves animals and has even an ounce of compassion in their heart to imagine how someone could be so cruel to an innocent animal!
Just like the SOB that dumped a 4 week old Kimba on our road in 31 degree weather in the middle of the night! How can someone be so heartless? While I love animals, I have complete disdain for evil people and won't hessitate kicking someone's ass if I catch them doing something like that in my presense! Got me into trouble more than a few times when I was a young buck!
Damn good thing I wasn't able to make out the make, model and color of the truck the jerk who dumped Kimba was driving! While in a way I owed them for bringing Kimba into my life, they didn't know that when they dumped him like that. A thorough ass kicking would have definitely been on the agenda if I was ever able to track them down! An ass kicking or worse!
I LOVE animals! Cruel and heartless humans that the world would be better off without?... Not so much.
A cokateal eh? Very cool! Those are super intelligent birds! I don't think I could live with the shreaking though! My aunt has one along with a managerie of budgies, turtles, cats, dogs, you name it! That Cockateal is the loudest one of the bunch!
GDP #3 Chop and Weigh In
Impressive! But could have been even bigger!
When all was said and done, I ended up losing about 12 ounces of wet trimmed bud to the bud rot that resulted from the cold damp nights these past two weeks. This kind of stuff is the downside to growing outdoors. At least if you like to finish the plants during the fall. The weather can really make things difficult sometimes.
Anyway... Here are the final photos of the harvest
I decided to go ahead and trim the raw buds up as I clipped each branch from the plant. I left all the buds on their main brances and just trimmed off all the fan leaves and the majority of the smaller bud leaves as well.
The stuff was so sticky that I had to clean my two pairs of clippers and my hands no less than 5 times with alcohol before I got through it all. There was A LOT of bud here! A few of the colas were well over 3 inches in diameter trimmed!
Even after all the trimming, the large colas lost to rot, and discarding the small lower branch budlets, I still ended up with 1 pound 8.40 ounces of choice GDP bud. Based on my previous harvests and the size and density of this particular plant's yield, I am going to predict 7-8 ounces of dried premium GDP bud.
These were also the darkest purple color of any of the three original GDP clones. The bud branches are now hanging in my dring closet and I hope to have one last set of photos for you of the dried bud on Sunday, or early next week.
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of the week!
Good morning! That as always is a great job. those buds look extremely dense and tasty!
Very Happy for you my friend! I am sure you prediction will be close and if so that is a great haul. even if it is anything above 5 it is great considering what you lost.
I had to make this my first post here. I’ve been following along from the sidelines for a while just watching and learning. I’ve learned so much valuable information to help me get started. Thank you for sharing your labor of love. The shrine for Kimba is both beautiful and inspirational, and I, for one, will be watching for the ‘Miracle Plant’ updates, I’m sure this is probably just the first sign of Kimba’s presence.
I lost my cat a few years ago under similar circumstances, and like Kimba, the backyard was His domain. After I lost Him, I could feel His presence when I was in the yard working or doing whatever, and I think it was His way of letting me know He was there with me. I would imagine you will feel this as well, maybe you already have. One thing I know for sure….. Kimba will be shining His love upon your garden Forevermore! God Bless.
GDP #1 Weigh In
Take That Naysayers!
Purple Blueberry Kush?
Is that even possible?
Well... Seeing is believing I guess!
These are some of the mini BBK clones that are less than 12" tall. I am also finding some purple turning leaves on the larger BBK clones out there too. Obviously the cold is having a major impact on this kind of behavior.
Just thought I would share these photos with you guys, since we have been seeing everything out back turning purple lately... All but the Purple Urkle, who remain GREEN with no hint of a change. I'm starting to really doubt that those clones are actually the real article. If they aren't Purple Urkle, then what the heck are they?
Only hint I can give you Urkle experts out there is that they smell like pine cleaning solutions, like Pine Sol. What strain smells like pine cones, pine needles?
Colour is beautifull GG.
What is this Goose...
Are you preparing to bake a cake?
How goes it in purpleville? If the Urkle has lime green buds and bright orange hairs, I'm guessing the "purple" part is recessive in your plant somehow... Does it? Seems like that characterizes the purple strains that don't go purple to me...
Though, I don't remember anything pine smelling about Urkle. I've had a couple of strains where "pine" seemed part of the bouquet, and that's from a pretty small sample size, so it'll probably be tough from that description.
I dunno. I'm definitely no Urkle expert, but it's my favorite strain flavor wise.
No to go check out that strain review...
Nice harvests GG7,
