Ha Yup brings back memories of HS Band practice ;)

Well I was going to just take the buds ABOVE the NET on the GDP Last Night BUT found I was
having trouble hanging just the tops so ended up just taking the whole branches to keep from
having to use screen dry method.

At first estimate looks like approx 3 zips:( Not what I expect from my SCROGs, usually 5 or better
so not real impressed with the result. Looks like in the FUTURE I will be running the INDICAs on 12/12
and No Far-Red, thinking I just pushed things a bit to fast for a short flower time Indica

I don't think the gdp is a heavy yielder is it?

;) Certainly not in my TENT this run. According to the Breeder estimates
"If your growing INDOORS, you can expect your Grand Daddy Purple marijuana plants to yield about
14 ounces per THREE SQUARE FEET of Plant"

I did not believe the estimate but expected better than 3 zips, The NET i used was a 2 X 2 or 4 sq feet ?

I do see now and did know at the start its recommended to run her at MAX 50% Humidity which I did
not. But since the YIELD ESTIMATE was so far off I dont know weather to believe the Humidity info ?

========================================
SEEDLING STAGE​

USER INTERVENTIONS by DATE
JULY 2018 ​

JULY
STARTED ON THE NEW MOON

July 12/13 - NEW MOON Reference Date -

12/13th - 12hr SEED SOAK (w/Kelp 1/16 tsp per Gal H2O) put in Shotglasses at 12:45 am
. . . . . . . . ... .(They both sunk sometime within the 12hrs)

13th - Dropped seeds at 11:30 am
.........Used 1 gal Sq & Rd Starter Pots, 1st run w 1" straight promix on top.
.........Dunked Pots in STRAIGHT CLEAR H20 used Revers Osmosis water.
.........Placed each seed approx 1/2 inch deep with pointed end up,
.........this position will insure the seed does not waist energy re-orientating itself
.........I forgot to use "ROOTS" powder when planting

15th - GDP Broke ground with HUSK still completely around top
.........she just grew up straight with hat on all day (not counting this as starting)
.........Calling POP date from the 16th since that's when I took the husk off

:green_heart:START DATE:green_heart:

16th - GUAWI Broke ground No hat just green lobes :)
.........since the Guawi was now up I removed the Husk on the GDP
.........WITHIN a 1/2 hr she open with Green Lobes. Just a little damage
.........to one small lobed leaf end. Did not look to miss a beat so
.........thinking I pulled it off in time.

19th - July 1st Quarter Moon - Reference Date -

23rd - DAY 7 from POP or 1 Week Seedling - Reference Date -
......... Added 1-2 Ounce Clear H2O top water Dribble to both
......... to help keep roots growing in all areas of pot top and bottom.

24th- DAY 8 from POP
......... Added 1.5 Ounce Dribble to both plants
......... Did this since I was going to DUNK and decided NOT TO
........Rather than throw all the UN-used DUNK water that I had added TEA too,
........I went ahead and did another top dribble.

26th- DAY 10 from POP
......... GUAWI got another top dribble since I was
......... trying to stretch the dry cycle to match up with the GDP
......... Added 1.0 Ounce Dribble to GUAWI ONLY
......... ALSO did a plant rotation, Moved GDP to the right side now

27th- DAY 11 from POP - July FULL MOON Reference Date -
........Added 1.0 Ounce Dribble to GDP ONLY

28th- DAY 12 from POP
......... Lowered GUAWI from 12" below to 14" below the MH

29th- DAY 13 from POP
......... Lowered GDP to same level as GUAWI @ 14" below the MH

30th- DAY 14 from POP -
........FIMMED GDP ONLY
......... Lowered BOTH GDP & GUAWI to 16" below the MH

31st- DAY 15 from POP
......... GUAWI got 1st DUNK using a HEAVY FIRST dunk amount
......... Added 0.5 Ounce TP + 2.5 ml TEA to 12 cups H20
......... Result after Calculations
........REALLY ADDED 6.5061761 ml TP & 1.1 ml TEA


END OF SEEDLING STAGE


VEG DAY 1
1st DUNK for GUAWI

Day 18 from Germination Dunk
15 DAYS from POP
1 GAL Pot weight 33.5 oz
(approx 1.25 cups H2O left in pot)


DUNK DRENCH AMOUNTS
12 CUPS H20 with 0.5 Ounce TP + 0.25 ml Tea
​

10:00 PM Lights On, Prepare GUAWI for 1st DUNK

Weigh Guawi = 33.5 oz BEFORE Dunk ( Minus Dry weight 23.7) Leaves 9.8 oz liquid still in pot

TP DUNK DRENCH @ 0.5 Ounce TP and 0.25 Ml Tea ( HEAVY 1ST FEEDING )

............HEAVY FEEDING -- NOT A RECOMMENDED FEEDING AMOUNT -- HEAVY FEEDING
HEAVY Dunk ONLY being USED FOR 1ST Dunk. i will explain my reasoning here. Since its been stated
many times, Its very Hard to OVER DOSE the plants with this product, and WHEN i have seen
Plants struggling at the start THE FIX Nearly every-time is RESCUE or SUPER DRENCH. i decided
LAST GROW to help out the soil by doing it before its needed (cant hurt remember) I want to
MAKE SURE when VEG Starts everything needed is available. OK back to My Process

ACTUAL AMOUNTS
With Run-off calculations

EXACT AMOUNTS ADDED​

Some Math to calculate TOTAL Product added

Started with pot weighing @ 33.5 ounces ( 9.8 oz of that was is added LIQUID weight still in pot)

I used exactly 12 cups of H2O to DUNK Into and was left with 6.75 LIQUID Cups left over. This
means I added 5.25 cups of product, just a tad over 44% (44% of 12 cups = 5.28)

SO
44% of 0.5 Ounces of TP was Added to Pot

MATH
29.5735296 ML in an Ounce DIVIDED by 2 = 14.786764 x 44% =
6.5061761 ML TP Per Gal of soil added to pot

Using the same Math
I used 2.5 ml in the 12 cups of Drench so
2.5 ml added to 12 cups H2O x 44% =
1.1 ml Added to 1 gal pot
(A lot more than my plan to use 0.2 ml per gal this run)

The Guawi looks like it leans to the Malawi side. I'm looking forward to your report on that. The GDP didn't yield well for me either but I love the smoke. That grape carries over to the taste as well.
Click to expand...

I do like the look of the GDP so I suspect I will be very happy with the result just not impressed with finish,
she filled the net so well I was expecting a great yield but once she started flower she just stopped ? If i ever do
run it again I will be sure to lower the RH to 50 at start of flower.
Oh for sure I will be very happy if the GRAPE stays in the flavor

I am hanging my hopes on the GUAWI, She looks like she may be able to pick up the slack to fill my
stash jars, and a COB, if not I will need to start my next grow immediately, I normally START in Feb
so probably wont get a break this time.

Not real impressed with the INDICAs results lately, I have always done better with the SATIVAs
so thinking I may just run them for a while, or until I can open another tent just for the Indicas

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be sure to include the report when everything is finished still thinking
another 2 or so weeks on the GUAWI

Did you notice the Indica's like more food then the Sativa's?
Click to expand...


Using 2ml per gal of soil across the board this run I did not see any noticeable difference, the gdp did loose all her
water leafs all at once but suspect that was normal for her at the end.

I did notice a flower fade last run when using 1.5 ml per gal with the Indica
 
After chopping the GDP and looking at how well the Main stem BRANCHED
WITHOUT TOPPING I have decided I will use this same technique again.

Very Short Corkscrewing around the 1g starter pot until Up-Pot

Even though the GDP did not yield as much as I was expecting ? stalled ?
she did have a very good base to work with.

with the GUAWI I used the same technique and she is filling up great.

Result for the GDP was a 2 foot plant reduced too 8 inches below net,
with Bud growth at 4 to 5 inches above

UNTOPPED the result was 25 BRANCHES off the main stem basically all with 1" node length :)
Plus if you look at the longer lower branches I left on you can see
they also produced 1" node lengths :) All in All it worked great

OK Here are some pictures with notes to help show the resulting structure

OH I forgot to mention the other thing of note NO STRETCH

Oh man, that’s some crazy cool twisting action there Gazoo. What are the benefits of doing that? Maybe I’ll go back and reread...
Click to expand...

Since I use the SCROG with Docs kit and he recommends flipping fast which I cannot if I want the net full
I need to get everything branching at the start (3rd node) need all the branches to fill the net. What happened
this last run was I FUBARd THE FIM on both not wanting to stall them further I just started corkscerwing them
around the pot and causing them to branch much sooner without topping
