Good lord MadMac ,awesome work!You're gonna have a great summer,are you ready for laundry ? :biggrin:

Thanks for all the useful info too!A couple of questions,if you don't mind.

What light schedule do you use in veg for pure sativas and for how long? Also,the flowering time mentioned is from first pistils?I get that you didn't have any trouble reflowering with the PK boost?

Thanx for the show and all the useful information!

high Syd,
well i veg 18/6 4-8 weeks... depend on grow mostly 6 weeks 18/6 than 12/12 and most of the time they start to flower... after 2 weeks than i count the time...

i give only one time PK and that in begin last quarter... the EC level is important.. max 1.2 well if you feed than N because of some leaves become light green sativa like to reflowed than... same with too much light & PK too... Sativa's are very sensitive @ end of flower with nutes...
if they reflowed... don't worry lock @ the older bud's... if milky/amber = chop...

happy growin'

Question for anyone; Grew a Feminized GT from the 2014 batch. Had 3 ounces, and found a seed. I mean literally one. How is that possible? It was indoor, and the only plant growing at the time.

MadMac, thank you for answering in such detail man!

you are basically pampering the hell out of those plants :D like we all should.

one day I'll be able to afford AC and a humidifier for my humble indoor.

I'd like to be able to go back to outdoors ideally though.

but every amazing indoor I see on-line, like yours, always has all that is needed to provide for the best possible environment, if not, you'll struggle indoors like I do (please don't cry for me hehehe).

ever thought about going LEDs?

peace!

LED vis CMH

LED vis CMH

ever thought about going LEDs?

yes but LED @ moment gives not such nice bud's i want and is too expensive @ moment... i made some test's and friend's too...
it's really different and taste & high of the bud'd too...
well the cmh cost like the same as hps but it's cheaper with power and colder as hps... @ moment for my basement grow room ideal :)
it looks like that a 375w cmh replace 1000w hps...:woohoo:
and that sativa's love cmh light... i need more test grows to compare...

Cmh is the hid light with the best spectrum, but some leds are even better than cmh.
I'm thinking of cob led fixtures, especially the diy variants.
I have some home made and they are top stuff.

Wish you could try them some day, maybe along with a cmh light, that would be stellar.

GT @ 12 weeks

GT @ 12 weeks

One of my 2 GT's - this one is 12 weeks in. 75% cloudy and only about 1% amber, I have another 2 weeks I believe.
This one has really put on the weight in the last couple of weeks and is still pumping out new growth.
Grown from seed from Ace - vegged for 5 weeks in a 5 gallon pot using Pro-Mix HP and JR Peters nutes. Light(s) are 315 CMH and a 600w HPS as temps allow.
Dubi - thanks for the great genetics and even better times ahead

hahaha , so i couldn't hold off any longer , the first one is getting the snip ..now i personally find this quite amazing , i've been growing for almost 40 yrs and this is the very first time with pure sativa's ..i've only ever seen a couple in mates grows and never the final product ..need to get out more aye ? its been an experience for me , no big stonkin buds here ..:biggrin: heres one of the side branches , very weak stems , none have stood upright at all . sorry for the picture quality .very frosty looking and almost felt like sandpaper as i pulled the larger leaves off ..View Image

Hi rod,

Congrats on the harvest, as Tangwena pointed out yours is one of the most interesting GT phenos i've seen, maybe not the best yielding but looks like among the strongest ones, those resins are evil! :biggrin:

What's your opinion of the smoke after a few months of curing ?

I have two different pheno of GT, they both start out green during the first few weeks of the bloom but my Pheno #1 turns purple first the stem of the fan leaves and then it moves into the buds, and the temps has nothing to do with it averaging 75-80 degrees, outdoors, their both clear and very uplifting, but I would say that the purple one is a little bit more heavy, has anyone else GT buds turn purple?


Hi @ya :)

What a beautiful purple GT pheno, it's quite rare to find purple phenos but not impossible if you grow enough plants and the temps are low in the second half of flowering.

How are the aromas of the purple pheno compared with the green ones ? Are there any other noticeable different traits ? Which pheno do you prefer to smoke ?

You can control the mites by spraying sulfur when they are about to start the flowering, or with abamectin in case things are out of control.

Thank you very much for sharing your GT experience!

hey guys just got a golden tiger plant that should be flowering maybe 1 month the guy was not sure about it and i transplanted it to hydro what do u guys think also my first grow of sativa and in hydro...

im affraid there might be height problems and im only hopping it will fatten up and branch out i topped it after transplant.. but anyways all info would be awesome =)

Hi gunslinger,

Sorry for the delay in the reply, guess your GT must be quite advanced into flowering at this time. Good pruning in your plant for SCROG style, everything looks correct for the task, wish the flowering is doing well! :tiphat:

Happy Times ! I'm only running one GT regular this summer. SHE is the only plant in flowering other than one seedling for the first two weeks of life. A major explosion of pistols happened today while I was at work. Interested to see how much she will stretch over the next several weeks. She seems very happy in her soil mix. Just lake water and a very light feeding in about 4 weeks. The ( snow moons, zamal hash's, orient express's, ganesh's and the peyote purple) will stay outside another 2 to 3 weeks. Then they will join the GT in the flower room. The Kali China will get 5 weeks outside before it comes in to join the rest of the ladies. The Zamaldelica x Hawaiian, These 5 plants will stay outside through freeze up just to see how far into flowering they stay productive. Then they will get culled and any bud will be given away. Peace

hey dubi , well after jogging my memory i went and retrieved what i had put away ..now some i cobbed and the rest i cured normally ..of this lot the cobbed was the weaker of the two ..i just think that it was too wet when it was cobbed ..it smelled , well , just off ! the other was quite extraordinary , a very clear ,uplifting high , like i was soaring ..hahahha , very , very nice ,,not for sharing with the masses ..lol..now i also cobbed some earlier GT and also some pineapple chunk ,, the GT of that lot was wonderful but the chunk was..is , bloody awesome , it has a sweet , sour fermented smell that's hard to stop sniffing it and is also very clear and soaring and smashes me for hours ..
strain specific ? no , i think it was just the process that i got wrong and needs attention ..
would i go with GT again , hhaha..fuck yeah , and overall all plants combined yielded quite ok ..it sure was a learning thing , i certainly over ferted these which set them back a lot , all organic but way too much N ..
cheers :tiphat:

I really enjoy this lady. I will run several more next summer. I don't prune or FIM any plants. I try to let them be and grow in their own ways. This year they are hearing BB Kings Bluesville on Sirius 24 hours a day. Not sure if the plants care but the room feels good to me.
The buds seem like they will be fairly dense. Wonderful plant dubi ! I see why your site is out of them currently. Will be getting more when available.:tiphat:
