Old G New Grow Spring 22

[Old G]

Day 52, yes their autos , I have the patience of a flea photos are out of the question. I wanna chop a bud off the JD, I know it’s not worth it yet. The grappa looks like 75 days, the pistils are turning red and receding already, does fertilizer make them grow faster, the buds are already swelling. The jammy dodgers I have no clue, I’m gonna let her go, I’m thinking at least 100, the breeder says 80 so I tack 3 weeks on to that. Sorry for the repetitive pics guys , to me they seem to change everyday, you guys are probably laughing, lol, I’m laughing

Whoa....what are ya feeding them steroids? Lol looking great brutha.

But no adding more nutes will not make things move faster...the plant can only take in so much...that's why when you add a bit to much she burns or the roots could lock out....just be patient and steady ahead.

I’m using geoflora and FF Tiger bloom every 3rd water and I’m only feeding them 2 mls which is the lowest amount. I’m trying for 2 ozs a plant, the grappa will the JD won’t .

Good job with that second light there, nice teamwork, looks great. The repetition pics is perfect, that's how we can notice changes in the plant, not the less important elements. Love another choice close up any old time... "Jammie Dodgers"... feels like The Little Rascals are gonna pop in any moment. If you don't know, don't worry, you're not missing anything.

Got any preharvest darkness or feeding habits or plans?

Jammy Dodger is also Scottish slang for a jam sandwich!

That’s what it’s named after, it’s supposed to taste like strawberry jam and chocolate, it’s supposed to take on really nice colors. She’s a long way out, probably 100days. I’m really looking forward to tasting her. It’s a cross between strawberry nuggets and forum stomper. I’m hoping to get some nice colors during fade

I’m still in the getting the growing part down, 2 more weeks though I’ll lay off the FF Nutes just let the geoflora feed her . I know alot of guys have the darkness routine and flushing. I haven’t flushed and my weed tastes great , could it taste better IDK

 

[Old G]

Day 53, the buds are getting solid on the grappa, I moved it to look behind it, it had some weight to it. I used Mother Earth groundswell, and I actually fertilized every 3rd watering. Both plants look good, I definitely will break 2 ozs on the grappa. This grow went really well, I really didn’t do anything but these buds are getting fat, best gro to date. I better shut up I’m gonna jinx myself

 

[ReservoirDog]

Og man, that grappa has totally lived its best life in your garden! Same with JD but we've heaped a lot of praise on her, and grappa was really looking like a comer the whole time, just on a different schedule.

I get the 'jinx' concerns. You're past quite a few pitfalls already, I don't know if you have a handle on humidity at all, that's obviously getting increasingly important and if you can keep under 45-50% rh, jostle a few branches everyday to unstick any leaves that might be needing airflow or are blocking it. Turn the pots maybe.

I get that some of the colour coming on is from the light, but wow, not all, and that is a beautiful bud structure. I hope you enter it in a bud of the month or pic contest because you'll collect some votes. No-one thinks you have to be master-grower to show off some nice buds and get some recognition. OK, I cant speak for others, but its my impression.

I'm personally not much convinced of flushing, more just getting the right nutes, and nute levels at the right time, but its not born of a great deal of indoor experience. I was merely curious as to your thoughts/plans. I can see where certainly an extended dark period before harvest would have an impact on the thc and tricomes generally, just no idea what the impact is... I bet lots of people have done comparison grows with hi-res, hi-mag photos to see, but haven't found any myself. Certainly, flavours will be impacted. Tea growers and other terpene-fixated types will use light-cycle manipulation, but again I cant offer specifics. Fat lot of good I am.

Thanks for the efforts here, for sharing. Beautiful plants.

Jammy Dodger is also Scottish slang for a jam sandwich!

Apparently, it stems from a character in UK comics
Roger "the Dodger" Dawson is a comic strip character from the comic magazine The Beano. He first appeared in his eponymous comic strip in 1953, and is one of the longest-running characters, known for his tactics of avoiding responsibility and his parents' rules

then became a cookie name, those shortbread biscuits with the Jam center...

and I am reliably informed there are also some, er, crude, current Scottish and Welsh slang references we'll not detail here! Thanks Melville.

 

[ReservoirDog]

OK, gotta say one more thing. I could hardly believe the fattening over two days... so I got the pics beside each other to make sure, and was more impressed! That is something-else, wow.

Brother I appreciate the kind words. I just enjoy the friends I’ve made in here and we’re all at the same place with growing. I bounce ideas off them. It’s fun I do it because I enjoy the shit out of it. I think we’re all trying to increase our yields, and my plants look special because of the beans , I’d love to take credit but I’d be full of shit

 

[ReservoirDog]

If it's just the beans, why can't I go out and buy 500 grams of Jammie Dodger for 25$? Nah, you did this, in partnership, but you did it. Nuff Said?

I’d recommend anyone that grows to get these beans. For my issues of ocd, anxiety and pain this is the best pot I’ve ever smoked. Just a nice relaxing high that doesn’t make you think too much. I’m growing beans that are all pretty much 65-35 indica sativa. I’m just very happy with this weed , and they grow themselves

Which do you mean OG Grappa or JD? This is a recommendation getting written down because your descrip. checks my boxes.

I'm just picking up toking again after a looooong break. Long enough that I'm a different person now with different needs for different cannabinoids.

I have some serious medical probs but if it means I can wake and bake on some sky-high sativas before going out to work on the veggie garden, and nobody cares cause its medication, then you know what? I'm gonna just call it even and get on with my life!

I wouldn't have two 5x5's with awesome LED lights and all the enviro gear, all set up in my house for instant access with an attic for vegging, moms and clones, all in a country where it's legal and interest in growing is raging, if my body wasn't so messed up. I know I could have, but I don't think if I was healthy that's what my life would look like, I'd be too busy. This way I still get to meet great people even though I'm severely shut-in. I'm only in my forties and want to socialize, somehow, so this is it.

My way of life has a lot going for it even if I never would have chosen it.

I forsee myself leaning really heavily on Indica hybrids. Esp. after the day's work is done, provided I'm not on bed rest which is 1/3 of the time. In that case, I'll prob mix a bit of each, coat it in hash, spark, drop a favourite playlist and start blabbing away on 420!

I love or used to love anyway, a midday hit from a truly psychedelic sativa, and I smoked and grew my share. I used to smoke up that stuff and play hackeysack in the sun with friends, passing it around the circle. Man, that was awesome. Stereotypical, and awesome!

Weed is absolutely the best for almost all of your ailments. You don’t get hooked , well not physically, think I’d be pretty bummed if I didn’t have my weed to smoke. Brother I don’t have fancy anything. My tent consists of hanging tin foil , the only thing that is alittle expensive are my seeds, and for what you get their worth every penny. You can grow 2 plants under a led for maybe 100, my lite only draws 60w , so I keep the lite closer and hang tinfoil . No matter what you use it’s still cheaper than buying shit weed for 65 an 1/8 at the dispensary

 

[Old G]

Day 55, the leaves are all dropping off the bottom of the grappa, plant wants to finish early, another 25days or so

 

[HappyHazmat88]

You rock old g keep up the good work

 

[Old G]

Thanx brother, I love this time in your grow when everything is filling in. I still have plenty of weed left from my last gro so I’m not in a rush to harvest . HH I think we have to use something besides the Geoflora to get our biggest yield, stuff works great but the plants are really responding to FF liquid nutes, buds are getting fat.I use the least amount of tiger bloom and a shot of cal-mag once a week. They seem to have grown faster this gro unless it’s my imagination, and being high all day it could be , lol

Hey so funny you should mention that I have been thinking the same.....as well as the gf line works I think there's something extra that could really be a kick in pants for the ladies... I've been watching that dynomyco stuff for a couple weeks now and I'm thinking that would be our ticket to picking up the size and development of our grows..... I've been watching side by side journals here with and with out it and brutha it's a big difference.... I can't even bullshit about it.
