What's new

SSHZ does B2ACG's "Aura" and "GG#4........

Starting to chop tomorrow, day 68 but only the Sharpiez......then Tuesday I'll begin the Aura and GG#4's at day 70. Can't say I ever look forward to the cutting grind, it's about the only thing I dislike about growing. A few plants that stand out, I'll remove all the sun leaves and take a few pics as I move along.
 
Don't think all my grows do wonderfully every time....... the GG#4's (3 of them) I grew this crop, which I rarely talk about- yellowed the first 2 weeks of flowering and stayed that way all thru flowering. The only 3 in the room that yellowed and I'm assuming they were sensitive to something about the nutrients OR the LED's...........I didn't pay them much mind, and will probably keep these for myself and turn them into hash. The plants stayed green lower down below the top canopy, so I'm leaning towards a light burn.

Above has the exact same smell as the Permanent Marker strain I did before.....Sharpiez is from Sharpies Markers I'm guessing. Stick one to your nose and inhale and you'll get the idea (but on a much "louder" scale.

It doesn't appear so since there is no mention..........so you would need to supplement it.

Am i correct in assuming they are kinda like reptile bulbs? Think im fully understanding this now thanks for the advice on these bulbs.
What i wanted to ask on these is do you have any in jars curing for like 4-8 weeks at this point? how does the cure change the aromas?

I hear ya! To be fair i could care less how they appear once they hit like week4-5-6 of flower (unless its something serious obviously) and just let them run their course. Think all the super high end flowers i used to grow with others who were OCD with cleanliness and obsessing on plants that just needed to be left alone in my honest opinion. What are the black hued plants behind these yellowed ones?

I rarely have much laying around in jars, except for personal use. I'm more commercial than most of the people on here, so I approach everything a bit differently. Curing will definitely bring out more smell in most buds, and make the smoke taste and smoke better.

Most important is to understand the UV bulbs are dangerous to your skin and you should not be in the room while they are on.........

The gorilas like cooler temps and less light.we grew it for years at the farm. Tricky one to keep green,a real deva .stinky though ,always a crowd favorite.

So, as I figured- the led's stressed the GG#4 causing bleaching in the upper parts of the plants. The lower parts were just fine. A bit strange as those were located to the outside of their area..........
 
Sharpiez final weight came in at 26.5 oz for 6 plants- that's 4.4 oz per plant.

Aura came in at 45.5 oz for 9 plants- that's 5 oz per plant.

The GG#4 is still drying.........

When the heat is on often with the cold temps outside, things dry quickly. I'll let everything sit in tupperware for another week or so before disbursing.
 
Not necessarily a particular strain more than germination, genetics, and other issues. I did a grow journal here last year called Fall Grow. Plants came out decent but had nothing even close to pics resembling the seeds being sold. Dropped 22 seeds from various strains of his. Only half sprouted out of 5 different strains. Some strains were basically a total loss. I did White Wedding, Miracle Alien Cookie, Dankberry , Purple Sunset and Apricot Oreoz.
 
Thats one of the reasons I try not to grow more than 2 strains at a time, so I can attend to an issues that arise quickly. I find growing too many strains at a time becomes more challenging and it complicates getting a handle on some issues.

Interesting the needs of each strain is usually a bit different. The Aura needs as much light as you can provide, it appears the GG#4 is the opposite and prefers less than normal. For years and years I only did one strain at a time, and even then- different phenos would be visible with differences there too. But since last year I started doing 2 strains since friends all wanted 2 for some variety.
 
GG#4 in containers now.........One of the 3 of these didn't finish enough and I have that one separated for future hash use.

I'm still cleaning up but expect to start up again early this coming week. I'll stop posting in this thread except for the final reports in a day or two. The new thread has already been started..........
 
G.G.#4 yielded 9 1/4 oz for the 2 nice plants, and slightly over 5 oz for the plant that did not finish.............solid weights for all 3 strains this time.

Size pots were you running?.. nice haul!!
 
I think the pots say 5 gallon but in all actuality they are closer to 4 gallon...........so about 86 oz total for 18 plants, about 4 1/2 oz a plant. The Aura's were monster yielders, airy but monster spear colas. The Sharpiez were average size, but super dense adding a lot of weight that way. The GG#4 yellowed early and were never fully healthy, and would have done much better if they were greener throughout- but still yielded over 4 oz per plant.
 
My style of grow is all based on the good led light dispersement.........I keep the plants short with a topping at the turn of flowering, a lot of defoliation enabling the light to get down deep and a good lolipopping of the bottom 3rd branches.
 
I've been keeping up, just missed the pot size.
I've got gg#4 & garlic cookies of his ...

Keeping up.
 
Where did you guys say Lit Farms stuff?, everywhere I look I can't find them there out of most of it
