Grand Doggy Purps - The Shakedown Run
- Thread starter aerokrafter

GDP Followup
First thank you all for your kind words. This was the first time I've let anyone have such a serious "look up my skirt". It was not without a degree of trepidation, let me assure you. But the open, positive environment that you all created made this a much easier proposition for sure.
So I strolled in to my local clinic with an elbow in hand and litteraly watched it sell out while I stood there. Course it helped that I did a lil pass-a-round while in line. Everyone behind me in que switched their order to Grand Doggy Purps until it was gone.
It was a proud moment for me, even tho I am used to bowling people over with top shelf.
Thanx again to Connoisseur Genetics for this great cross!
I'm going to have a tough time leaving my long term cure sample alone!

great job aero, I realy enjoyed following your grow.
also what your saying is happening on my end also.
the doggy purps have the entire package, looks smell
taste and a quality knock out punch.
I harvested 5 other strains that are proving hard to beat but
the gdp has gotten the comments on the quality.
I'm running them again hoping to up my yield but sadly will probably let it go but this is definitely what I would call a growers stash strain.

Great thread aero! Really liked the detail you put into every step of the flowering process and has definitely given me some ideas on how to improve my own grow.
And the buds look amazing! Congrats on a great grow. And I'm keeping an eye on your 5lb/1k galactic grape grow you have going now. Can't wait to see those babies really kick it into over drive.

Its been great comparing notes with you as we grew this plant. I'm very pleased that you are able verify the results I got. It means that everyone can expect to find at least one great plant in a single pack of seeds. Thank you for all of your contributions to this thread.

The grow space was 5' by 5'. Keep in mind this was a shakedown run. The goal of the run was to verify and determine the growth parameters for the first production run - where I go all out to maximise the plants performance.
Speaking of which. The GDP production run is scheduled to start in a week! In the mean time, I invite you all to check out my 5Lb/1K challenge thread where the goal is max production.
Here's a peak at 23 days:
Thanx everyone!

Production Run Bloom Day 7 Update

Canopy:
Track Plant:
Data:
Vigorous growth prompted me to add the trellis early. The earlier I can get everyone in the light the better. Everyone looks to be in great shape and has started sipping nutes.

Production Run Bloom Day 14 Update
Unit:
Track Plant:
Side:
Data:
The plants are feeding nicely and the canopy is filling out. You can see on the side shot where one plant is growing weird. The tall shoot you see poking through parasitised the other half of the plant. The shorter half was slightly shaded and I don't think it will catch up. The trellis does a good job of equalizing light exposure, but it can't do its job if the grower screws up and leaves a growth tip in the shade!

Production Run Bloom Update Day 21
Unit:
Bud:
Data:
I have added a second level to the trellis. The plants have been pruned, bottom fans removed, and strapped into place. Stretch is almost done. The plants got some minor leaf damage from my heat wave from a week ago, but seem to be unaffected. They continue to snarffle up the nutes!

Production Run Bloom Update Day 28
Unit:
Bud:
Data:
The canopy has filled out and leveled off nicely. Already starting to get the sweet perfume aroma. The plants continue to eat aggressively - I've been PK boosting for about a week now with minimal tip burn.

Production Run Bloom Update Day 35
Unit:
Bud:
Data:
Buds are swelling, trich production is up, and the super sweet perfume of GDP is in the air. Doesn't get much better.
Plants continue to eat while I moderately PK boost them. Still have no tip burn. Looks like the only effect of the heat fiasco was a little extra stretch and a few fried leaf tips.
