I didn't expect this girl to still be around, so I obviously started the flush a little too early as most of the shade leaves have yellowed and gone to senescence (I learned that word from you Yukon, thanks for expanding my vocab, I will have to find a new word to throw back at ya). She is the tall gal in the middle. I think the lower temperatures, less hours and intensity of sun has slowed them way down, but I suspect that may be the reason there are no ambers yet.



and for the sugar shot...

the close up


I think she can actually come down right now. There are a few clear trichomes, but not much. I can't find any amber, except on the bottom of some leaves, but they are the glands without the stalks and those leaves will get trimmed anyways. I'm going to wait until this weekend or next week to start taking her, depending on how she continues to develop. This will be another multi-stage harvest.
Peace, God bless

Looks great! I think you're right about her being ready but able to wait... looking forward to smoke reports!

Boy those buds are going to kick ass brother taking my breath away thinking about it he he.

Sorry I'm late. These were at 8 weeks flower... still something going on with nutrition. I gave Epsom and it seemed to help for a few days but I'm beginning to see a little more fade set in and foun a nanner t'other day. It's not going to wreck my Harvey by any means just a curiosity I want to understand.... probably getting to point where I need to approach "next level" and start testing soil to determine potential deficiencies prior to flowering as well as be able to compare pre and post flower results to get better idea of how much of what amendment might be getting used.

In all honesty I'm beginning to suspect I've overdosed P on last couple runs and now CEC is over saturated with it.... all guessing without a test.

Good luck with that. I use blackstrap molasses with my Golden Tiger that gives great results. Takes a few days with a deficiency to see results, use smaller amounts to maintain before any deficiencies are noticed. Good luck with that.

That looks heavy for 9 weeks and she still has time to fatten up! Another great post Yukon!
Peace, God bless

Found a seed, in the GT i grew last year, a male M x PCK was the only one near it, takes after its mum anyway, hope it finishes a bit quicker

Hi all,
went down to Tiger town yesterday and all four are still going. They were planted, around the end of October, into two litre pots and transplanted into their forever homes in the first week of December, with exceptional root development on the most vigorous plant.
The holes l prepared are four feet by four feet, give or take a bit and l was hoping to find some moisture, which l didn't.
In light of this l put in three kilos of water crystals, into each hole and am hoping they will fill up with rain and the water l can provide, when l can.
This spot in a good season will make you jump for joy but in a bad one can bring devastation on biblical proportions. I'm hoping l don't have to see if Tiger's can push through drought or on the other hand, if they can actually swim.
The soil mix is one l do for heavy feeding indica/hybrids and I've had a lot of success with it but I'm not sure how pure sativas will take to it. It contains a substantial amount of seed meal, gypsum, blood and bone as well as trace elements and other top dressings throughout the season.
Two of the phenos looked like they had a couple of fert burnt lower leaves, the most vigorous one, with fatter leaves and a smaller thin leaved one, the other two small, thin leaved phenos were fine.
We're in a growth phase now and they look like they're starting to grow, particularly the vigorous one, it's grown substantially, vertically, bigger than the others and the node spaces have stretched but they all look like they're growing after, what appears to be, transplant shock or lack of water.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with watering schedules for these beasts and how tall they can actually get?? Also should l stop feeding them now and adjust for deficiencies if they arise or is there a feeding shedule.
Anyway wish us all luck.......we're going to need it.
Cheers 40.

10 weeks. Fade has begun.. week early again... might be the very light pollination last two runs got at onset of flower... making them kick into high gear sooner and therefore finish faster on back end..

Going to be a really golden tiger my friend lucky you.
How do you plan on staying sane?

 

[YukonKronic]

Ha! I'm too far gone to save. It's just about quality of life now... and I predict a truly "higher" quality indeed!

Holy shit you're gonna get high. GT is a real fucker. She's sneaky as all get out, and no slouch in the potency.

Once again Yukon, you outdid yourself. That is serious resin at 10 weeks! What's next after these ladies come down?
Another fine grow my friend.
Peace, God bless

Hello 40. I just finished my second grow of GT, so I can tell you what I observed with mine. Mine were in soil, 15 gallon smart-pots. My greenhouse is 2.9 meters in height and I had to raise it one foot for all 3 GT's. When mine needed water, the leaves would get limp overnight and start yellowing and turning brown quickly.

It sounds like you have a gorilla grow; if so, if it were me, I would top dress during veg when the plants signal they are running out of the nutes you have in the ground. Composted manure for nitrogen, for example and low N bat guano during flower. Is there a source of water nearby? Does anyone on here have any suggestions for a makeshift water system for while you are away? Can you take a 2 or 3 gallon jug filled with water, tap a very low volume dripper head, such as 0.25 gallons/hour into the cap, turn the jug upside down near the stalk so the roots can get a slow steady drip? I've never tried anything like that, just trying to figure a way to keep the roots from drying out too much.
Hope I can help you in some way. Good luck with your grow, I'm looking forward to how this turns out.

Peace, God bless

Hey thanks again for the props! I will again defer much of the credit to Dubi and his genetics but with that being said I'm feeling awful proud of this run. Up next is kind of always undecided until I put roots into the flower box but I think probably either ZamxGuatemala F3 pheno hunt or perhaps some straight Zamaldelica... I have another flowering box that is currently vegging animal cookies and one plant that I'm already excited about.

On my first run of BKxPCK I found a seed. Plant next to it was a ZamxPurps that threw nanners from over fertilization.. so I have a single specimen of [ZamxPurps] X [BKxPCK] to flower out.

Clones are already cut and rooting and I'm waiting on animal cookies in there with it to get big enough to flip. Might get interesting because even after crossing it twice the Zam genes are still quite dominant and vigour waaaay outstrips Animal Cookies. Prolly some topping coming to tame the Beast down to just Animal levels... I'll post on it in the Zam crosses thread eventually.

Heee hee... I smoked about a gram this morning of some that just hit 6 weeks cure so basically it only just started being smooth and tasty... it wrecked (lol or saved!) my day... sitting around fried watching tv and the spinning lights on the Christmas tree

 

[YukonKronic]

Has a sweet kind of carrot jungle funk on inhale that turns to sour/tangy mandarin flavour on exhale.... nice kind of elevated feeling with very little lethargy. Smoke more than half a joint and the power starts... concentrating is easier for simple tasks but organizing those tasks or how to start them is hopeless. Use your laser focus for music games or art because pointy tools or motors are a baaaad idea. Lol I often end up with loud ass music on dancing around cooking or cleaning or just fucking with gardening stuff. Sitting still gets boring because you constantly drift off into the ethereal.

I miss summer. Going fishing with GT is like standing on a riverbank with God. Just....great. I'm looking forward to Tangwenas fishing stories after he comes back from his next trip!
