The blockhead is nice, but the GDP is a strain that is after my heart...good god!!! Kickass work...helluva variety. Looks like christmas is going to be GOOD around your house.

S2D, I'll have another crop halfway done by christmas buddy, oh yes! GDP is hard to beat... purple kush is the only purple that can hold up with her, probably becuase they are sisters..

chili, hell yeah man, just damn amazing every time.. These mains can weigh in close to an ounce when dry! I really want to run the whole E&G garden with her, just for shits... see if I can break into 2.5lbs with that 1kw .. ;)

madcow, if you are growing in soil I would go with botanicare products. Pure Blend Pro soil bloom, with calmag and maybe a dash of liquid karma here an there... save you $$$ over AN. My whole crop can be done with 1 quart of cal mag, and 2 gallons of PBP. Costs around 100$ for 2400 watts of ganja.

Terran, that Shuga Shiva is surprising me, I flipped her at 6-7" (10days veg) and is now 28" tall, with probably 2-3zips per plant. she really puts it out quick too, amazing plant... hats off to skunkwerks, for sure.

Scrappy, The White is a special lady, top drawer cannabis for sure. checkout Krome's threads for more of her, he has her on lockdown. I am just learning her gentle curves..I'll get her going better next round!

nutz, I can't decide to run the miranda, the purps, or the scbb. TOUGH decisions for sure, stuff that keeps me up at night.. arrrrrrrggghhhhhhhh!!!!! haha, life is good ;)

gdawg, next crop I'll be running co2 again. winter is back, and the big buds are coming...harvest here will be in 10 days, or less.. just waiting for the purple on the granddaddy, and some swelling yet for the SCBB. SCBB really wants to go 70 days, but I got nothing else that goes that long, so unfortunatly she gets 60.

I am going to veg my hindu's to 15 inches, transplant to a 3 gallon pot of botanicare readygro coco mix. 36 plants under 3 1000watt lights I wanted to know at what point (in veg or bloom) should I trim all of the under growth off. I just finished a run of the hindu and had a ton of popcorn. Can you give me run down of how you would trim them back. I am so pissed about the popcorn I was thinking of trimming then like 57325 to the last three nodes then flip 2 days later !!! but Im working with a 3 gallon pot and trying to get 2 to 3 ounces per plant.

HaHa...my buddy Krome is a bud star!!!!

Neptune...the triangle is awesome isn't it!! you did a good job with her too.I don't her looking as good yet.I am going to grow her outdoors next season...should be stellar

yayarea, I did 2 trim jobs to get my HKs to make colas.. the first was just before flip, where I removed all sidegrowth under ~4-6" or so, real close to a "57" but not quite. Again at days 10-13 where I remove all budsites that light won't touch, and a few branches that are clearly crowded. Never did I remove fan leaves, and rarely did I remove whole branches, but sometimes branches had to go. you can remove budsites to no ill effect up to day 15 I would say... and remove them I did. Don't be afraid to be hard on your plants early, they will come back with colas... just lookat my Shivas, the way they are built has everything to do with the prune job. More is better in this case.

budluver nice to see you around! your outdoor is going to be sparkely next year... will be interesting to see this one outside, betcha it looks totally different... I can't wait to get her in the next crop, I have good plan to get her to shine..

Thanks Neptune, I'll heed the advice!! What are your thoughts on using voodoo juice in soil? Do you think it makes much of a difference or not?

Hey Neptune. Everything is looking great as usual. Can't wait to see how everything finally turned out. I'm sure it was awesome. Just wanted to throw up a couple of gdp shots at 42 days. Looking right. So she'll be done by 60 then? I like the sounds of that. Hoping for safety and blessings in the weeks to come.

Neptune

your GDP is looking proper krome, she can look done at 49 days but the last 10-14 days really bring out her colors, harden up her nugs, and there is yet more swelling to be done. Start the flush around 7 weeks, and take her past 8 weeks for an explosive finale.. :)

dank nugs man... you will turn into a purple zombie yet, trust this!

It got a little out of hand with all the strains this crop, and the vacation to belize did slow me down a bit. The quality and yeild definatly suffered, but nontheless another crop down and good meds to sample and smoke on. It's good to have new flavors around the house. The verticle bulb has not been pulling it's weight(8zips this round), mostly due to the low yeilding Triangle. For the next crop I will try to seek the potential high yeild that verticle bulbs are known for, and the origional reason I started experimenting with it. The ebb and grow had too many strains, and came in around 20 ounces. The canopy was crazy.. Gotta stick to monocroping each area... lessons I have already learned, many times... lol The tester strains on the tables (Blockhead and sShiva) came out better than expected. The shivas all yeilded well above average at 2-3 ounces per plant, and the blockheads impressed me so much that I ran to the compost pile to save 6 clones after pre-maturely deciding she wasn't a keeper. The blockhead is a lemon smelling resin bomb a wonderful clone from the east coast... on par with the SCBB/BDSSH/Hindu Skunk. The big 3 just became the big 4!!! damnit.. :p

The granddaddy crop is the best one to date. Finally pulled down some girthy colas. I have not finished trimming her yet, so no idea what the yeild will be.. but it looks very nice. I did pick up 3 purple kush mothers to run next crop along side the GDP, I'll pick a favorite at the end. :)

Thanks to all for sticking around and seeing another crop to harvest, It's always fun to share this changing room with you all. The next crop is already in and on day 5 Veg. They recieved no pre-veg this time, so things are slightly more relaxed. I will be vegging for 17-21 days before blooming, and CO2 will make a comeback this winter crop. When things get a bit more interesting I'll throw up some veg shots... This time I'm running the following:

Left table GDP
Right table KKSC/chili's Blueberry
Verticle Bubblegum
E&G is a secret strain from mendocino !!! shhhh...

ok folks, that wraps up this grow! Thanks again!!!

Beautiful work Neptune. How was the hindu kushxskunk? Anything you enjoyed, or disliked?

Holy moly what a beautiful set of buds! The blockhead has a HUGE cola on it, but I have to agree on the grandaddy purps. That is the tastiest looking strain you've got for sure! :yummy:

Neptune, I got to say. JUST AWESOME. WOW

You sure did a awesome job with all those strains. I once tried three strains in one Ebb&Flo table and let me tell you. Talk about a pain in the ass. Trying to keep them all happy, boy was it a job. Glad to see everything worked out in the end. You sure got a very nice harvest. Please, make sure to let us know how they all smoke. Great job, and thanks for sharing your grow with us.
Take care,
BG

Nice work. I'm looking forward to see those GDP numbers. How tall were they when they were flipped?

Awesome work Neptune. I know how hard it can be running so many strains, especially the new ones. Glad to see at least one of them found a home. Any triangle pics? I'm happy to report that there'll be some more of the bay purple flowing on the east side of things. Really looking forward to smoking on her, I can clearly see why you like her so.
