Zen does GPS Topanga Cookies

[Zen_seeker]

 

[steamroller]

Your grows always look great.
I'm in.

 

[Zen_seeker]

After a bit of hesitation I agreed to pop one of my remaining GPS. I chose Topanga Cookies as no one else has yet, that I’m aware of anyway.

Wish me luck and I hope I’m entertaining if not educational.

I've grown TC. Outstanding hybrid and is kind of a diesel and cookie strain. Aromas of fuel, skunk, and sweet donuts. Very potent and pretty fades at the end. Dense, beer bottle sized colas on a multitop plant and yields very well. Great companion to Sundae Stallion if you have that cut too and are looking for 2 strains that grow very ez and well together

Cool. Nice to know someone strong has been down this road.

I have Frozen Custard & Greezy from GPS as well. @Pipecarver is running them now.

With my limited plant count I’m going to have to give away clones as it is. I want a good strong Indica and this was one of the top choices.

It will replace my Northern Lights which seem oddly Sativa leaning. The remaining NL clones I’ll run as Sativa if the one hanging is as good as it looks. I guess that’s the gamble when trading seeds.

Thanks for the feedback @Bandit420

Sounds like it'll be tasty dude rock on

 

[Stoneyluv]

i grew topanga cookies my last round, Bandit had given me the seeds so they turned out just like his... only smaller!

the fuel flavor really came out in the squish.



can't wait to see how you like it!!!

 

[GoodShit97]

Hope this works out for you man.
I know it was hard for you to drop that seed in that shot glass

You got this lol.

 

[moe.red]

So Soil in a tent? If you got the data, tell us about the whole grow. What lights? What nutes?

I’ll make a list and post a proper entry in the morning.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Current environment:

Soil: Sunshine Mix #4 (Old Version)
Light: 100w LED Quantum Board
(Set to lowest = 6500 LUX)
6hrs light on, 2hrs light off.
Temp.: 21c @ 65%RH Light on
Nutes: N/A, pending

Seed was planted about 1/2” using a clean, unused, chopstick.


I use double cups. Clear on the inside with 5 holes at the bottom so I can remove and check root progression. Red secondary cup is used to protect the root development from the light.



Next update is when I see green poke through the perlite.

sweet

6/2

if the seedling does start to stretch as it adjust to 6hours of light/2

just bring the light closer

 

[Zen_seeker]

Seedlings and clones are grown up top. The light and humidity from below warm things up enough to keep them in the low 20*-24* & 50-70%RH depending on what I want and the outside environment.

Subbed

 

[Zen_seeker]

After a week of no show I went digging. It was stuck between a bunch of perlite that made it twist and curl into S shape. It was also sideways.


I removed it as the soil is too damp now. New soil and cups are ready. I’m pretty sure she’s toast but I have to try.

If nothing happens in a few days I’ll be popping a second seed.

 

[Zen_seeker]

After a day and a half the new seed popped. It was planted in a new cup a few hours earlier. The old seed is in its own shot glass again with a bit of H2O2 and water. It actually looks better. Still think it’s toast but I’ll leave it a bit.


Should see something in 3-5 days.

 

[SSgrower]

Interesting, I am following, I am tryin to pop PBBXwilson, I dread germination, good luck. SS

Both popped in just over a day. I don’t usually do seeds until spring but warmer temps and the itch to try one of these new strains helped persuade me.

The first one should have been fine but I found perlite wrapped in its root and the soil was too damp imo.

But I agree, clones are easy. No stress.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Just before dinner time yesterday.


7:30am today.



Need a few nodes before we’re out of the danger zone but off to a good start this time.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Small victories count!


Zoom might be required.

You're gonna love it to death

She just wants to be in this world, doing her little fight to be here...welcome lil baby Topanga...that's her name

Topanga, why not, sounds great. Hence forth TC is to be known as Topanga!

Lights on at 7 so let’s see how she’s doing…

She kicked at least part of her shell.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Topanga is doing her thing, slowly.


Still under a 100w on the lowest setting. Temps in low 20’s and RH between 50-70. Cups got a bit of weight so we’ll leave it again today.

That's the "splintering!" I mentioned.

Observers' 2x4 Space

Pruned. (just the drip plants mainly) More oxygen and nutrients the rootzone can supply for the next new growth Removed big fan leafs blocking the lower nodes Removed the lower lowest nodes as thats too low and close to the media, in my way/drip way. The white coloring is oxidation, lol. I...

Never saw a follow up pic for it. Unless the next pic with the clear cup was it?

I just don’t “wait and see” well. But I’m trying to leave it alone, for now.

Yah my bad I never posted but some of my seeds would do that in wool too, I'm not sure exactly why that happens yet
