I finally found the macro setting for my camera phone. Half the pics were without it then the last half are with macro on. So the pics look a little better close up now. The GDP is looking better and I think some purple reflecting back or its just my imagination? Seeds are still ripening up, and look like they need some more time. I've been pulling off the yellowish/brown dying fan leaves as well, but there are not too many yellow leaves left. The GDP and Strawberry, the 2 plants on the left are still pretty green and don't have the yellow leaf situation. Well I'll update in a few days with a couple more pics, and some of the clones too. Probably start a new journal for the clones soon. The GDP is trying to show 7 fingers on the fan leaves, but produced only a mutant 6 finger ones. It's mostly 5 leaves now, which is a step up from the original 1 finger and 3 finger leaves.

Future Harvest / Sunblaster Lighting hooked me up with these accessories after I did a filled in a form on their website asking where I can buy some of these things. Customer service responded and send they sent in the mail. About 1 Week later I got a package. They sent them all the way from Canada, they paid shipping and all the accessories I received. I hooked up my T5 lights with the daisy chain connector cable.

I have done a lot of topping and trimming fan leaves and extra nodes on the clones. Training GDP is a little more difficult because of the extra bushiness and tight spacing of the nodes they develop compared to the Strawberry. I haven't let these plants get much height and have been training them to keep the plants small until the flowering tent is available. They finally just got fertilized with the organic Happy Frog Tomato and Vegetable; good stuff in it like beneficial bacteria and the micro-nutrients like it has calcium and magnesium in it, more so in the fruit and flower than the Tomato and Vegetable. The stuff is and smells like bat poop but it works really well (at attracting fugnus gnats that is!). I'm going to use the Happy Frog fruit and flower during flowering basically when I transplant to bigger pots I mix in the fertilizer with the soil. Then you don't have to do anything but water. There is a difference between having soil that is alive, and I think it is better for the plants and the roots. I don't know why I was using organic soil and then using hydroponic salt based fertilizers on it. This will be easier to do than measuring out all those solutions and risking over fertilizing and having to flush. I'm going to save the hydroponic fertilizer for my future attempts into hydroponics, so it won't go to waste.

That ain't no purple weed! It's just burnt tips that just look purple but are actually more blackish kinda brown dried out from either to much heat and too much light burn or nutrients burn. Haha, nice try though huh! But seriously their might be some purple on a nug or two I just haven't got close enough to see with a scope yet, but one can always hope.

Oh I forgot to mention that I cut off a little bud from the very bottom under the scrog net, and got 5 GDP seeds out of it that almost look mature. I didn't even fertilize down there, pollen spreads everywhere obviously and I barely used any pollen. These seeds look all tiger striped amazing, I'll get some shots up one of these days if I don't try to germinate them first!

OK it actually was some purple weed, some of the calyxes are purple and so that means its not a burnt tip. I took a sample from under the scrog net. I picked the very bottom branch node and cut it off for comparing growth in the light to growth under the canopy (where the light doesn't penetrate). So I know the bud down in the dark will not be burnt from the light or overheated and turning brown, so that leaves burnt tips from nutrients or purple weed. So I am going out on a limb and saying my Grand Daddy Purp has some actual purple in it. You be the judge:

The GDP x Sour Diesel Haze seeds:
Some immature seeds testing if they germinate or not. Taken off the plant around day 52 of flowering, which gives them between 3-4 weeks of development. This is only my 2nd experience with flowering. Here I am flowering two strains that I have no prior experience with, and at the same time in the same 2x2 tent which is 4 times smaller than a 4x4, and I've never used a 2x2 tent, and on top of all that it is my first time with pollination. The stories are true, the pollen goes everywhere and I found stray seeds in bud I didn't come near with the q-tip and surprised by how many are pollinated with so little pollen. I am just fearing for the future the pollen that could be in the air or stuck to parts of the tent.


Random thought: What If you were a plant and you were just chilling in the breeze one day, when all of a sudden some random pollen gets all up in your business. Now 4 weeks later you are dying and dropping out kids, you have no idea who the father! Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Vaporize preferred, that's fine too.
