Smoke Report - winter grow
Chemgopher OG - F4
Planted Aug 25, veg 2 months in small greenhouse with LED light extending day length to 16 hrs. 1 gal plastic pot, coco coir and Masterblend nutes 2-4 x's a day. Allowed 13+ weeks in flower as buds were very slow growing.
High is the same 'ol gopher, starting in the upper chest and working into the shoulders 5 seconds after a hit. I feel my eyes begin to squint a bit and a small smile. Same as always.
Taste. The gopher is evolving into its own. The underlying lemon/pine taste is gone and a cream flavor is behind the chem. Very nice and no coughing but it's losing that chem/diesel as well. Not near as strong.
Went inside and ate a huge spaghetti dinner and still feeling high. I'm well relaxed.
So overall a nice smoke and hard hitting high. Taste wise is different. I've become use to the chem/diesel flavor and missing some in this F4.
How much of these changes are due to the cold flowering conditions or genes not mixing as I'd like is anybody's guess.
I'll know more after this fall harvest and a full sun grow. I do have some F2 seeds and may grow a few to back cross hoping to strengthen that chem taste.
Overall I'd give this bud a 6 on a 1-10 scale. The high is very good but I really want more taste. If it wasn't for that creamy under tow I'd have only given it a 5.

Found some cool pics from 6 years ago.
Good times. Produced a boat load of tomatoes, corn, lettuce, pumpkins, 3 different types of squash and 3 SFV Kush. Good year.

Sunday Update
GDP Love Birds
He's grown into the ceiling of the greenhouse but so what? I certainly don't care as long as he keeps producing balls. She makes me drool.
Another 2 GDP seeds have popped
The Ground Pounder is still killin it
Gotta be a male
The rest
And the little clones
Lost 6 so far. Stems started to rot. I knew it would be difficult with the cold so took a bunch. The rest look good for these conditions. Hope at least half root.
Been spending about an hour a day trimming and jarring.
Hope to finish this one today. 2 more plants ready and 1 still drying. Lot of frickin work but the results are worth the effort.
I should be ready to make more hash by mid week. Now it's time to get hammered!
Happy Growing!

Monday Update
The Love Birds
Just beautiful. Granddaddy Purples panted Oct 25, 1 gal fiber pots in coco w/ Masterblend nutes. Vegged in a small greenhouse with extra LED lights to extend the light period to 16 hours. Moved to a larger greenhouse Feb to flower.
2 clones of the GDP
These were taken before the move. One on the left seems to be struggling a bit while the other is finally growing.
The newer clones
10 of 17 taken, lost 6 so far. 1 looks like it won't make it but the rest are hanging in there.
Clone in a Kratky bottle
No roots visible yet but noticed the water had evaporated below the basket so added more. I'm using 1/2 strength MB.
Ground Pounders
The 3 in front, the 7 others are gophers.
2 Darth Vaders
And another GDP
A couple more have popped and will get potted this week.
My current favorite experiment
Gophers started from seed in rockwool. I moved them into 2.5 liter bottles last week from 1 liter bottles.
2 had roots to the bottom of the bottles. Can I flower these in another month? Gonna find out.
Kratky basil is rocking
This years snap peas
Way easier than dirt farming.
I moved all into 2 liter bottles last week after cutting and then painting the bottles twice. We're expecting a lot of rain the next few days so I'll have to replace the nute water by next weekend. Still easier than growing in soil.
I've got 20 tomatoes, beefsteak mostly and a few rutgers. Was going to post a pic but already added the max per post. Next time. Until then, Happy Growing.

Easter Sunday Update
Time for him to come down and collect pollen. Great genetics; strong, fast growing, beautiful colors.
Then I can thin her out and better control the aphids. She got sprayed a couple times yesterday and still a few this morning. I'll neem her if I have to which may ruin the taste (flipped 3 1/2 was ago) but producing hundreds of seeds is my main goal with this grow.
Topped one of the GDP clones.
Potted 3 more
And potted 3 more Ground Pounders
Tomatoes, before I run out of space again.
Darth Vaders looking good.
All plants are doing well but I've run out of room on my tray. Time to move stuff around.
Until next time, Happy Growing!

Everything is looking wonderful! You are living the dream. I truly appreciate you sharing pictures of your stud. I don't feel like enough people appreciate the beauty of males in flower. I am fairly sure that you will end up with thousands of seeds, judging by the size of your lucky lady. I wish you well with your project! Positive vibes...

I haven't but thought about it. Amazon has it readily available. I like producing a few males a year and collecting fresh pollen and obviously making seeds. I'll have plenty for the next couple years of both and to shareHave you tried making fem seeds with colloidal silver?
This is a very strong line of GDP. Both those adults are in 1 gal fiber pots of coco and grew in this winter cold and she's just full of buds.

Agreed. Also good seeds are expensive and having hundreds you can start 50+ at a time and keep the best of the best. It's a huge advantage over having a 5 or even 10 pack of fems.Everything is looking wonderful! You are living the dream. I truly appreciate you sharing pictures of your stud.

This male GDP is a rockstar. Over 5' tall 2' sq around in a 1 gal fiber pot of coco with beautiful color in the stems.
Almost every time I read about a male at the Farm someone is usually filling a curse jar. For the past 4 decades we've been told males bad, females good yet few seeds are produced this way.
On top of that I'll use the leaves to make an un-decarbed tincture for my wife. She doesn't enjoy the THC but understands the therapeutic aspects and would like to try it without the high. We'll see.
Male cannabis plants can be beautiful and fascinating and help create the next generation. I love 'em.

How you transplant out of those cans? Looks like it would be hard to get the soil out with the narrower top.Kratky pot
