Stocking Up For The Apocalypse: Goody's Perpetual Grow By The Beach 2020

[Chuckeye]

Thanks @Justin Goody !

I've just moved from HID to LED and have Much more control over my light power !

Last grow I Wanted large/long cola's and even with topping and training one was over five feet tall

But the cola's were Impressive, he, he...

So, been there, done that ! This grow I'm going to try for less and shorter cola's with a quicker harvest time.....

Just for curiosity, I also don't Need More

Cheers

I have heard from several old growers that leaving a single stalk could still net you more weight than splitting them but I’ve yet to see it. I occasionally leave one untamed, usually outside in June/July.
Yeah I love the light I get from the (especially newer) LEDs that have so little heat and so much punch.
Good luck this month in the contests!

My grows are all indoor and I've found a plant topped at least once produces more but I have the room to play

So far I have no complaints

Good luck this month in the contests!

Years ago buddy I was just amazed because my buddy grew under some huge blurple "Christmas light" as he referred to it. They've come a long way!!! I agree with the control factor. I love the fact that I ran through most of my veg on 25% power!! Keep on trucking man. I also like less heat with led. Happy Wednesday!!

Oh yeah baby the blurple was the only choice for a while (unless you had a few thousand for a proper LED array) now the good ones are much more accessible.
I can’t even imagine leaving an HPs on in my house now all day, those things are hazards and you have to replace the bulb every year …LEDs are like 50,000 hours minimum and they pay for themselves in a single grow many times.

Those blurples definitely added some flair though:

Add a fog machine and some skeletons now you're talking Halloweed!!

All my ladies are growing longer legs. Maybe it’s the MegaCrop 2 part/Remo combo..

This is a younger Wookiees x Wizard x Queen G who just like her fuzzy sticky sis, is choosing the bottom branch as her highest top so far. Good stacking, love that angle (I won’t call it praying ) they do seem happy though.

Little Queen G here is also getting a bit taller. S1s are fairly consistent so far in their genetics expression

BTF 2 is the stout and robust version of these beans. Right in between the other 2 phenos in size and structure but with 2x the flower.

The taller skinnier sis BTF 3. Good stacking, good angles up top. I have high hopes for this one to get some real size before she fills out.

Thanks!
I occasionally do some but my tents don’t have a ton of room to go outward and I tend to let them do their thing and just go up. I rotate the plants a lot and trim a bit to open up light paths regularly. Seems like a lot of work to do it any other way

Most of my autos don’t have big long spears. They are more uniform medium sized and usually very little trim. I don’t mind having nugs of all sizes. I don’t depend on mine for income or anything, I smoke or use everything I grow so giant spears are a bonus and small stuff becomes oil and edibles.

This is not a typical auto of mine, it’s abnormally large.


This is probably a little more typical looking for one of mine.

I’ve tried a lot of styles. In the end, the weight of this plant with 6 main tops still comes out around the same weight as the exact plant grown with 30-40 uniform tops. Only difference being I have a bit more variation between size of buds, less to worry about, and the plant takes less room.

Oh that's BS you grow really large autos for the most part.

Oh that's BS you grow really large autos for the most part.

I appreciate that.
I would say mine are a decent average with the occasional standout.
I don’t really grow them expecting massive size, it’s sort of a bonus if they get bigger. I’m in it for the flavor and the buzz.

One of the reasons I don’t buy into XXL/super strains- coming from California originally, strawberries are very popular there. When you buy strawberries you either get massive ones that are pretty and perfect but have minimal flavor, or slightly smaller ones that taste sweet like candy. For me, strawberries aren’t for looking at, they are a fruit sought after for flavor.

So when this OG Kush kept on growing, my first thought wasn’t YAY more weed, but rather the real bottom line…is this gonna affect flavor? …

I trust Barney’s Farm and their genetics. Many of my breeds are based in their Wedding cake auto. So I trust that this OG Kush has some real transformative time in the weeks ahead. Finally noticed some color up today and she’s finally getting a bit of personality rather than just being…huge

So now at least she will be huge and pretty

Was doing some “aggressive” training today and broke a main branch on this Dr Wookiees x Queen G. It was hanging on by a thread

and I grabbed my go to

A little prop up and she’s good to go.

I can’t train this branch horizontally anymore so she may become the main top. Since it didn’t wither and die right away she’ll likely be all good.
She’s a Deca(10)line like @Carcass last beauty but more related to his next one.

This seed was kind of an afterthought and I didn’t have much room at the time so she’s in a tiny pot and aching to get out of it as soon as this branch heals for a few days.
This breed is 2 back crosses, both sides have Wookiees and both have Cannabiogen Destroyer, and the rest of their family is all strength and flavor. It was also my first successful pollination using stored Queen G pollen.
Her stems already stink more than most plants 3x her age.
I think she’s ready to show me she’s no joke and now that I snapped her, I owe her that much..
