Beautiful man. That ancient og is such a perfectly shaped ball. Do I remember you saying somewhere that youy don't top?
yah i never top outdoor plants.
ancient OG is my favorite strain to grow, plants are huge already and no issues at all just like last year. Too bad the seeds had such a bad germination rate, i wanted at least 25% of my garden to be ancient OG. Everything else is doing well too but none are as big as the Ancient OG's except maybe the Blueberry Hashplant , which makes sense because its a blue dream cross. But i think Ancient OG is better than any blue dream cross quality-wise. last year it tested 27% thc

I probably missed this (well, I didn't really look to be honest) but when does the Ancient OG finish for you, if you don't mind me asking?
mid-october. i left a few branches until halloween but there was no noticeable improvement
Did they pack on a good bit of weight the last two weeks or were you mainly waiting on trichs to change color?
yah they put on a lot of weight in the last couple weeks before harvest. ancient OG stretches almost until october. last year we had some buds as long as my arm. the stems are not very thick though so a 3rd (or 4th) layer of trellis is necessary if you want all the branches to fill out without flopping over
Looking good man, will you put a trellis over the top before it gets to late? hope you have a tall enough ladder if so...
I got an 8ft. orchard/tripod ladder this year and it's really been great. A 10 or 12ft. one might be the call for the bigger outdoor plants but I'm limited on headroom in my greenhouse so the 8 footer is perfect. They really allow you to get closer to the plant than a normal step ladder which is really nice considering how much time I spend every year caging.
Starting to dust stuff with AOG pollen. Cherry Pie got it this afternoon and now that the lights are on inside I'm going to go hit up the GG4, GSC, and a really nice pheno of the AOG itself. Glad I collected loads of this stuff.

i have a 8 foot step ladder which is big enough, but the garden is on a steep hill so it might be sketchy. I'm already thinking about how to do that, because the tallest Ancient OG needs some support at the top or else its gonna be flop city soon , and probably some broken branches in october.
make me jealous why dont you
where did you get your orchard ladder
wow, cherry pie x ancientOG seeds! save me some! haha! those crosses all sound good tho
i'm gonna try making my own ancientOG f2's this year too. I never made seeds before but i just collected some pollen from the Ancient male i saved which was the biggest out of 12
shit you beat me on the dripline!! man my season has been embarassing lol...
i think im chalking drip line this year....got all the coils in but the mainline is a fucking nightmare, i have to buy new 1' and new couplers and redo the whole shit. think im just gonna handwater until the end here...pretty fucking lame.
