Is the VPD potential issue mostly only an indoor problem because of humidity build up within a tent, and not so much an outdoor issue?
Your GG is looking so totally pristine, a real immaculate showpiece looking presentation!
I don't know a lot about outdoor growing I'm afraid. But i'd say so yea. I came across it when investigating why i kept getting similar issues when growing under LED lighting.
She really is a beaut! I bet you can't wait to take her down.Could be that mate. The RH has been in the mid to high 70's. Temp is 22-23C. It's cramped in there for them now. Looking at GG tonight I think she will have a week, maybe 2 weeks left to go. Things could get tricky with the veg cabinet. Ah well, all part of the fun.
Here's the flower tent ladies anyway.
OG Kush
Gorilla Glue
Thanks buddy. She's done all the hard work. What's this drought stress approach then?
Desperately trying to stop myself chopping her too early. Under pressure with the veg cab filling up but I want GG to reach her full potential.
Years ago I grew a plant from bag seed which was average good. Because it was growing in a small ceramic pot sitting on hot stone tiles she got massively drought stressed daily thru flowering, but turned out to be some of the stickiest buds I have ever had, the sugar leaves were like they were varnished all stiff gooey and just crap ones were wonderful in a pipe (I was combusting at the time). Skip forward a few years, I came across @Maritimer's previous long thread, where somewhere in it he shared a research paper on cannabis, that being subjected to drought stress in its last 10 days of flowering could dramatically increase its potency, the research paper proved it in their tests. There is a lot of different things that tease us with the claim of increased potency, darkness at end of flowering, or the old nail thru the stem trick (which I must try myself one of these grows). But that accidentally drought stressed plant I mentioned above gave a fantastic high, its effect dramatically improved from the mother bud it was found in. Anyway, Maritimer happened to be researching this and that triggered my memory of that earlier plant and how she grew, so last year I tried to apply some of the approach at the end of my grow, the bud potency seemed great but without lab tests who knows, the downside I guess is the aesthetics, where the buds look a bit gnarly and beaten up, but then again I am growing in frequent wind and rain so my plants get beaten up a bit in the weather. But hey, if I could get buds looking like yours I wouldn't be risking it on drought stress haha.
Cheers.
Yeah I'm thinking if I only do the one it'll have to be that.
Ahhhh... this is getting a bit silly - the companies we can't mention or link to...
You've only listed 9 seeds, @vetsmoke. Why don't you just grow them all?Sunday ponderings. Strain choices for the next round. Once these clones are 4 weeks into flower I'll be looking to pop some beans. Haven't yet decided if I'll do one big plant or 3-4 in 2L pots with just a few weeks veg. Depends how this round goes really. These are my choices from the stash.
Northern Lights - Dope Seeds
Zkittlez - Blackskull seeds
Stardawg - Blackskull seeds
Wedding Cake - Blackskull seeds
Do Si Dos - Blackskull seeds
Amnesia Kush - Dinafem
Jack Herer - Those that shall not be named
Cream Mandarine Fast version - Sweetseeds
Hawaii Maui Waui - Nirvana seeds
Decisions decisions. Want to get down to a shortlist of 3 or 4. Stardawg, Amnesia Kush and Hawaii Maui Waui are my initial front runners. But I want to grow them all
You've only listed 9 seeds, @vetsmoke. Why don't you just grow them all?
It seems like you usually keep about a dozen going in your flowering tent.
There's only two in there. Down to 8 in the veg cabinet now
Oh. My mistake!
Luckily I have 4-5 weeks to decide. Looking at giving hempy pots a go now. I do want to try an Autopot but need to stop spending money for a while.
Yes decisions decisions haha. The Maui Maui sounds intriguing especially if you can replicate the volcanic soil of Hawaii a bit which I have read people have suggested gives the strain an 'X' factor. Stardawg is one that sounds very beneficial medicinally. And I have always been curious about Jack Herer's reputation. It'll be fun seeing what you choose!
I'll have to take a look into that. Yeah I do like the sound of the Stardawg too. Maybe I could squeeze 2 half decent sized plants in the tentYes decisions decisions haha.

Will I ever learn?
My Stardawg auto was my biggest yielder. It was also quite potent, with energy and imagination flowing. Have a look here.
