GG7 my friend you grow some marvelous plants. I cant wait to see that purple rhino all trimmed and dried. definitely NOTM potential for november.
Thanks MB!
I just call it all gardening 101, where you always leave it up to whatever you are growing to tell you what they need and when.
I figured that I have been doing this long enough now, that I should be able to call an optimum harvest point just by recalling the final results of other plants of that strain when they looked a certain way or another.
GDP #2 was kind of harvested in this manner, although I did use my scope to check it a week before I harvested, I still made the call based on "feel".
So far, of all the three original GDP harvests, I am liking the effects of GDP #2 the best so far. I am sure that most of this is due to the fact that it has had the longest curing time of any of the GDP bud I have taken this season. I'm confident that the other two will eventually come into line and offer the same balanced high with the smooth delivery and taste I shoot for with GDP. 1 & 3 have sampled a bit on the "speedy" side for my tastes with perhaps a wee bit too much THC and not enough CBD to mellow it back a bit. Nothing terribly obnoxious, just not the overall effect I normally prefer from GDP.
Potency is surely not an issue! While I don't have a gas chromatigraph handy, it feels like the THC percentage is way up there in the double digits somwehere near 20%+, especially GDP #3. Basically, one good bong load will put you on your ass for a good hour or two, with lasting effects lingering for another 3-4.
I usually don't begin actually using a new cured harvest for at least 4 weeks, so with these much earlier samples, I have nothing to compare to here except that GDP #2 has the perfect GDP buzz, and the more recent harvests are not quite there yet.
This is all just a little experiment to make things more interesting, and something that will work in closer harmony with the whole feel of the garden these days.
