You can also tell by the pic that there is some leaning going on, which is a good sign branches are getting heavier.......... low 80’s is my new guess.
I’m still shooting for high 90s. Preferably 97. I’ve got faith in your skill and experience.You can also tell by the pic that there is some leaning going on, which is a good sign branches are getting heavier.......... low 80’s is my new guess.
Still feel ya gonna get around 100 mark. I'm a bit high maybe but I also said that last time lol. Looking pretty dense to me but will it make up the difference? Guess I have to wait and see... but I still think its gonna come in well above the 80s and prob high 90s if not 100I respect Aqua Man, as he was just about the only person to speak out last crop about the yields...... but, I'm convinced the Sweet Zombie is a bit different than what I grew last time. Over time, as breeders run out of seed stock and go to remake a strain- things often change. I'm wondering if IT'S NOT THE YIELDER it once was, like 3 1/2 years ago. I was a tester for Sweet Seeds and worked closely with their Green Poison for over 2 years. The strain after a couple of seed runs was far different than where it began.
My point being, even though this turned into a really nice grow, and it smells great and is very sticky- maybe it's yield is not hitting high number any more. A growers experience can only coax out what the genetics allows, and not much more than that.
By pinching I mean topping...... sorry for the confusion.
I think there are probably things like timing and placement at play, too.So everyone knows, I take no credit for the even canopy's of the last two grows- it's the LED's and nothing I'm particularly doing that's allowing it. The sativa (orange gasm) I topped once, the Sweet Zombie (indica) I did not touch. I may be wrong, but I think the terrific light spread that the Gavita offers, enhances the even canopy. This next grow will be an interesting test, as I plan to keep the lights a lot higher in veg to allow for more upward stretch. When I get them where I want them, I'll lower the LED's to 18-20 inches to stop the verticle reach and start flowering. That's the plan..........
I don't know if I can add much more to the subject, this is all new to me too.
Yeah man no rush! I know you didn't forget.Milson........I’ll get to some lower pic’s tomorrow, which is 9 weeks thru flowering.
I think your spot on there sshz.ive always thought that when they run out of stock.its like they get lazy and just start chucking willy nilly over any old plant..how i was told all those yrs ago you dont ever cross the seeds from the same plant as they get smaller in size.its allways finding the biggest healthiest from a different strain..one of my friends describes it as stating you start off with 2 750 ml bottles the nxt year the 750 turns into 1,25 you cross that with a 1.25 and there offspring are 2.50 etc and so on.....he has been growing 4lb plant back in the late 80s no starting under lights etc.just digs big holes and fills with his compost pops his ballbearings and way they go.he had this gang try and find him from australia to kidnap him to grow plants for them here but they never got him.he got caught here growing and they put the value at 4 million and was in jail for a few years ..great bloke.I respect Aqua Man, as he was just about the only person to speak out last crop about the yields...... but, I'm convinced the Sweet Zombie is a bit different than what I grew last time.

I didn't see that. Was it recent? He was the guy who replaced Shantibaba, right?Then you have people either going to jail, dying or serious drug addictions, like GreenHouses main breeder Franco Loja (who died). Nothing is forever.
This is where I get that. From the breeder board here.Could be right, but Franco was with Arjan for many years and became a partner and basically ran the business day to day. Arjan was more the promotional front guy, which he enjoyed more than getting down and dirty with the plants. Franco caught malaria in the Congo, while searching for strains worldwide and couldn’t survive it.
Ever grow MNS gear?I'm assuming one of the top guys who worked closely with Franco took over as the head grower....... but who knows. I haven't grown anything from GreenHouse since 1991 or 1992 so I don't follow them at all anymore.
