That GG is very pretty. That is one i kind of have an eye on from a distance. Interested to see how you like the rest of the grow and the smoke!I almost never grow fems, but there was an unsightly buildup of fem seeds in my Seed Vault (a small plastic container in the back of the 'fridge) so this grow came to be.
A soil mix fuck-up made me think I would start over, but I was able to reduce a soil pH of 7.1 - 7.2 to below 6.7, which saved the day.
This is the whole gang, a couple of days ago, under everyone's favorite photography light source:

This is a week and a half after flip. The smaller one in the white pot, up front, is a Storm Shadow clone. In my last grow, a plant threw off a few balls and seeded the fuck out of this one's mommy. I want to find out what she's like unseeded, before deciding what to do with the clone.
The plants were all just below the metal bar you can see on the left side of the tent, before I flipped. The stretch is on.
This is an Irie Genetics Bebop girl — the one on the left, front. So far, Bebop is an easy grow. The stems are strong and may not need much in the way of support (famous last words).

Anyway, this plant is an easy grow. I read that @sshz had issues with the seedlings shedding their shells. That may have been the case with one of these (there are three), but if that is not a hassle for you, she's pretty care-free after that. Interesting double tooth pattern on all these gals.

This is Sannie's Sugar Punch. YEARS AGO, when this cross was first dropped, I bought a pack and never grew any. That might have been 2013 or 2014. She, too, is easy.
This is one of two remaining Golden Goat girls. This one was NOT HAPPY about my dolomite SNAFU, and I thought I'd be culling her. She had a serious micro nute deficiency that I now thing was manganese. Lots of seriously pH downed water did the trick. I started with 3, but one was a lost cause, and I needed the room in the tent. I have her clone, so I'll find out what I missed some day.

It was kind of interesting to see that when you get an immobile nutrient into a plant that's been deficient, the deficiency symptom disappears. That never happens with mobile nutrients. The affected leaves look like shit forever. You can still see the lighter color toward the lower parts of the fans near the bud.
This is the other Golden Goat, which has insanely long leaflets. Well, not insanely, but sativaly.

I'm looking forward to trying these ones out. An online acquaintance of mine, who seems to have identical tastes in weed to mine, considers this his "favorite daytime smoke."
This one is a Planet of the Grapes. It's also an easy grow — extremely vigorous rooter.

Last is a Lemon Sunrise (also Irie) clone. She's easy to grow, but is an all-over-the-place sativa dom that cannot support it's buds AT ALL. Support is needed. But I love it. This plant convinced me that I need to explore the other crosses by Rasta Jeff.

Well, I'll post some more pics when there's something more interesting to report — like a nice scent, a pretty bud or one plant demanding that someone named Seymour feed it.
I think Golden Goat would not be a problem if I had properly pHed my soil. It might even like the low 6's for pH. All the other I can recommend as easy grows for newbies.
My friend in the Colorado Springs area says it's the most expensive thing on the dispensary menus and it sells out fast.That GG is very pretty. That is one i kind of have an eye on from a distance. Interested to see how you like the rest of the grow and the smoke!
It's a cross between a sweet skunk x ("Hawaiian sativa" x Romulan). I just figured the Hawaiian and Sweet Skunk would be tall. Nothing looks very indica in my tent right now.nice job,The sugar punch a blast from the past,grew them about 15 years ago along with herijuana and killing fields,Sannie is a stand up guy.Also didnt know the GG was part romulan,not seeing it,yours looks like all sativa
Garden looks great. I’ll be watching. I’m growing Arise and The Cream right now. Arise is GG x Jack the Ripper. It looks a lot like your gg. I’m at 9 weeks and it has maybe another week, and looks like a sativa. Smells like lemon carpet cleaner.It's a cross between a sweet skunk x ("Hawaiian sativa" x Romulan).

That sugar punch is an oldie, which probably means it won't measure up, potency-wise, to the newer strains.
I've become a big fan of Irie and have a pack of both Arise and The Cream in waiting. Do you have a grow diary?Garden looks great. I’ll be watching. I’m growing Arise and The Cream right now.

@flowerpatchhumboldt on Instagram is where I document my grow. I have arise pics up, but the cream is still a baby. This is the first time I’ve grown irie genetics and haven’t smoked any, but the arise smells lovely. I have a couple freebie packs from him too. Morning dew and strawberry starburst I believe.I've become a big fan of Irie and have a pack of both Arise and The Cream in waiting. Do you have a grow diary?
Arise from Seedfinder:Arise is GG x Jack the Ripper.
You’re right! Haha. Don’t listen to me. Hence the name arise...daybreakerArise from Seedfinder: View attachment 1092176
He wanted two commercial strains that were super different from each other.....hence going for essentially an og kush/diesel plant with a skunk/hawaiian plant.You’re right! Haha. Don’t listen to me. Hence the name arise...daybreaker
Green seems to be more head and color more body? At least with the descriptions i read....Using my keen 6th sense for noticing plants in distress, I've discovered Lemon Sunrise is a little more sensitive to intense light than anything else in my grow. It seems to be the intensity of the LEDs rather than the UVB. The left side is more under the LED, the right is more under the UVB.

I'll need to keep this girl a lot shorter in future grows. LEDs are a learning experience.
This Sugar Punch is in the middle row in the back of the tent, so it rarely gets a close look. I noticed something "wrong." She's a purple pheno. This strain seems to accept intense light. The green pheno popped that donkey dick in the last post, which is about 12" from the LED. The purple one is directly under a UVB tube.

I'll withhold judgement until I try them, but it seems to me that whenever a strain has a pheno with purple or red calyxes along with a green pheno, the green one is always more potent. That isn't true of plants with green calyxes and purple/black/red leaves, just the ones with colorful calyxes. Your mileage may vary.
My colorful pheno experience spans about 3 strains — two of which are Sannie's, so my observation may not be valid beyond that.Green seems to be more head and color more body? At least with the descriptions i read....
I am pretty sure the Panama girls i have going are both the green pheno instead of panama red, for instance.
That said, Jeff from dfg says the red pheno of his flagship dragons stash is a bit more potent than the green pheno, which yields better, sooooooo
Something to continue to watch, for me at least.
