Great content!! Have ran this for a couple years now, and have got the green/purple so far. You are getting me excited to do a big run of her, and find the purp/purp. She looks b.e.a. yootiful! Awesome work!!

Nothing like the grapes and berries. It's special

Not much new

They're growing as expected and many still not ready for a larger shoes. I'm hoping to take a day off tomorrow and up pot a few. These are 5-6 weeks old.

Can't get enough of this one. I want a purple mom

PlumberSoCal2 · Feb 21, 2025

All the youngens got topped couple days ago

There's 18 plants, most still in solos. I'll up pot those next weekend.

Was away for a few days but the plants are are no worse for wear

19 plants total

All in need of their second Topping. Hopefully I'll get to spend some time with them today. I'm in no hurry with these and plan on Topping twice more for 8 colas each, males will be composted unless one is exceptional. I'm mainly growing for a mom and some quality smoke.

The weather has been pretty nice this past week. Rain 7 days ago but sunny and warm since. Night time temp still dropping near upper 40's lower 50's so slow growing still but I've noticed better growth then the past couple months.

These are all nearing 3 months of age. If this had been summer they'd be read for flipping by now but I'm in no hurry with this grow and can give them plenty of time.

The A1's

A2's

B's

I really cut a couple of these back aiming for 8 colas from a single stock. Running low on coco or they'd have bigger pots by now.

They're not sexed yet, soon.

I started planting seeds end of December

Seems like a year ago

Glad I had the time and energy as when I do flip these they'll have 8-16 colas. Short and fat and several pounds of grapes and berries

These two

Got flipped May 1. Tucked in with the Loquat tree

for protection from the wind. They're strictly for smoke and will come down around July 1. I'm about out of all the GDP from last harvest (I gave most of it away) except several seeded plants that are still hanging in the garage and need to be processed

which I need to do soon so I can run the GDP x Blueberry Hash Plant crosses, currently my 2 favorite strains.

I'll post some better pics of these. I can almost taste them

The 2 I flipped 5/1

Greenhouse

West side

East side

They're in 2 gallons of coco coir and they'll be flipped next, probably 6/1

My mama

and yes I see the aphids. I check daily and they get sprayed about once a week with neem oil to control their numbers. It's part of growing in a somewhat outdoor environment.

I do a lot of leaf reading

Its been a week since they were sprayed last. The insect load isn't too bad

Not all those spots are insects but aphids give live birth and can become an infestation quickly so I've got to monitor them. And the reason I leave the older fading leaves on the plants. And they fade when I miss fertigations (4-5 a day is ideal) and they get one AM and one PM many times when work gets in the way of my growing

SmallspaceGrace · May 3, 2025

PlumberSoCal2 · May 17, 2025

After culling out the boys there's 8 girls left. #1

#2

#'s 3

& 4

5 & 6

These were flipped last week and #6 laied on its side for several days, at least that's how I found her Friday when I returned from vaca.

#'s 7 & 8

These 2 were switched from coco coir to soil and were flipped last week. I plan to give these 2 away to a buddy learning to grow.

I was gone all last week and several plants were not watered well/at all and they're in coco coir. I had set up the auto watering but used old hose and tubing, a few of them were/or got clogged as they worked before we left for vacation. All the planta will be fine and I'll be Topping #'s 1 & 2 and keeping clones of #1 mom. #'s 3 & 4 will get flipped end of the month and I plan on putting #'s 7 & 8 in soil back into veg before giving away end of the month.

I love this one and haven't had a mom in a while so I feel I scored

PlumberSoCal2 · May 18, 2025

Cleaned up #1 & 2

Took 3 small lowers from 1 and 8 tops from 2. I'll clean them up, clip the leaves, add another cup and put them into the hot box.

Real small yet, only 2 weeks old, but I'm hoping for good medicine.

I accidentally crossed a beautiful GDP girl (came up with a tomato I planted in the garden) while I had 10 Magnum x Dragon (Magnum is an auto the Dragon reg that a buddy accidentally made) and now have an S2 GDP x Magnum auto cross. I stopped working on it after getting the Blueberry Hash Plant and Mother's Milk. I ran out of room

I've got seeds from both S1 parents to cross with the S2's to strengthen the line. I really need to get back to those. One of these days, maybe

PlumberSoCal2 · Jun 1, 2025

#3 & 4 flipped today

#5 & 6

4 1/2 weeks since flip. End of this month should be done. I've taken them at 56 days and at 70 days. Just depends on the plant.

#1 & 2

and all their cuts

#7 & 8

These were switched from coco and hydro to soil. Took a month and they didn't grow. I was going to give them away but they're gonna get clipped and composted. I'll give away a few cuts that I'll put in soil right after they root. Do not recommend trying this at home
