Golden Tiger

Looks cool. What pot size are they in? I saw you grew your auto cross outdoors, how did the smoke turned out?

Hi cidA,
this GT 2 girl has thrived in a 1l. pot until the main early flowering stretch was done. Now she has to get along with a 4l. pot. I hope the Thai side of the cross will shine smoking it.
Excursus: The smoke of the outdoor plants (Auto Zam x GT 3 (F2 auto)) is fine (effects are relatively long lasting, clear, activating, visual distortions). I intend starting a thread on Auto Zamaldelica based crosses in the upcoming weeks. Perhaps we meet there to go in depth. Thanks for your interest.

I had 2 GT plants that both were rather different. One was smaller, frostier, wider leaf, faster flowering and delivered very strong speedy comprehensive sativa high. The other one was bigger, slower to flower, higher yielding, narrow leaf and it delivered crazy heady sativa high to the point it gets scary. I dusted them with a special auto gsc phenotype that had very good qualities. Now these are the bigger pheno GT offsprings, about 5wks old, plan is to go till F3 fully auto. GT dominates in the looks, two slightly different phenotypes, one has long internodes, the other one has medium internodes. Apart from the internodes, they looks pretty uniform. I expect them to flower for anywhere from 9 to 12 weeks.

Hi cidA, in your GT 2 experience ... is there physical heavy finish to the high?
Your auto project looks very interesting. Do you have two tents or growrooms for two main phenos (polinating them seperatly)?

 

[cidA]

Comprehensive sativa phenotype did deliver some burnout on the comedown but I wouldn't call it very heavy. Maybe it depends on the amount smoked. The crazy one was just pure head high, very heady, introspective, I can imagine some people going crazy on it. It's like completely loosing your touch with reality. They're all in the space, F2 should bring out some more variation in expressions, some more stuff to choose from.

Three golden tigers on their way:

You guys have some really nice looking GTs
I think I butchered mine a bit and the heat doesn't help. Over 30°c in the grow room most days.
I did a fair bit of bending too to keep them down in height. Should have shortened the light cycle sooner.
When I moved them into this tent from the smaller one I trimmed some of the lower branches and my wife smoked some of the fluff that came off just for a laugh. Surprisingly it had a little kick to it

 

[BooBeats]

For those like me that like to drool over pics of GT hopefully these come out big enough ha ha

WoW thats just plain beautiful

Hey Tangwena, i'm glad you like the pics. Unfortunately i didn't take any of them by the end of flower but they all came out real nice. The one in the 5th pic with a wispier bud structure has a very fruity taste and smell, the others are relatively similar with a resinous/spicy/herbal kind of smell. They all yielded very well for being in 1 and 2 gallon pots.

I don't check in here often but wanted to say i'm glad i could provide some entertainment, it's actually you and your posts that turned me on to these crazy sativas maybe 7-8 years back, when i didn't have the knowledge or space to grow but started to learn by the many threads around here, notably the ones you made about cobs which always fascinated me. Take care man, all the best

Happy Year of the Tiger!

Wish I had some GT buds to celebrate.

 

[StickyBandit]

I have a couple of questions
One GT has brown tips in the buds as shown in the closeup. Should I take it down or is it not ready? I think they have been on the bud cycle for about 75 days.
There appears to be 2 different types. One has more pistils. Is one better? I might even take a clone or 2?
I was a bit embarrassed so I straightened up the plants with some stakes

Cheers

Not a single amber trichome in sight but a lot of clear ones - not ready for harvest yet.

 

[herbgreen]

Yeah, pistils are still very live....

Might be another 75 days !!!


Really, I would say those plants will fully recover from the situation

Then it will finish flowering... You will know the right exact time to cut

These are good plants

Another 75 days?? Don't say that
These are definitely quality genetics!
I have stressed them every way you can imagine. Fertilizer, heat, bending and chopping and heavy light bleed from a neighboring cab cycle tent
What should I feed with now? if anything.

Never go wrong with topdressing worm castings

They act like a buffer and normalizer helps uptake the right nutrients

You may want to try some high phosphorus bat guano Like Indonesian or Jamaican but not too much....

​

And use the wormcasting as buffer

You could bubble a worm casting 'tea' in 5 gal bucket with some high P bat guano added ....might control nutrient dosage a little better



This thread can teach you how to make the tea and everything else you need to know about organic dirt growing

Looks like a better space ....Temps better?

You can get budswell Its more or less like the teas described in Burn1 organics thread ...easier to just get and use

This is it....."The Guano Company"

basically look for low zero first # higher second # on the N-P-K

Thanks for the reply
We can't however get bat guano in New Zealand but I will get some worm castings and sprinkle on the top and water in and I might make a tea also.
The potting mix I planted in was ready made cheap stuff so it will probably have a fair bit of most things already added and the worm castings might do as you say and help the other ingredients be absorbed.
I don't want to over feed since the buckets don't have holes in the bottom so I can't flush.

 

[herbgreen]

Always best to less as more that's for sure

 

[StickyBandit]

Hey herbgreen I found some bat shit liquid concentrate 1-9-1
I have a wand with CF and EC the other readings on it so what strength should I make up for watering at this point?
I was thinking about CF 20 maybe watering 1x per week for a while and the rest straight water. What do you think? They need water every 2 days.
I spread 4 handfuls of worm castings on each bucket already and watered in.

NPK numbers look right .... with wormcastings in there you should be good

1/2 strength or less of whatever the label says to start is what I go by... but then increase a little if goes well

The budswel label says one cup per five gallons or.... 1 to 2 Tbsp per gallon

You can also "brew" the wormcastings in a cotton bag bubble in 5-gallon bucket with a submersible pump and airstone...or just stir it up and infuse it over 24hrs

Makes the wormcasting more available Then you can add the guano concentrate to that...read the label maybe it already has wormcastings in it?

The budswel is a liquid made of wormcasting bat guano and seabird guano

3 Golden Tigers continue their flowering, excuse appearance of first plant which is surprisingly much further along than the other two.

Yours look fantastic next to mine
I will post some pics tomorrow and get a little advice
All my larger leaves have yellowed and fallen off and even the leaves on the buds have mostly died

 

[Swamp Thang]

Hi hi...... So everything took root. Two days are already in the dirt. Thus, specifically on the GT, I mixed about two-thirds of the coconut fiber and the rest of the fertilized substrate from the manufacturer.

Did you take those closes simply by placing cuttings in the dirt? I've run into a brick wall with my bubble cloner, which worked with about 50% success at first but now has a 100% failure rate even after sterilizing the setup repeatedly with bleach. Four runs in sequence and all clones died in the bubble cloner, so on to better things for this mad scientist.

The idea of simply taking cuttings and rooting them directly in dirt sure does appeal to me now. Am I right in assuming that this is exactly the way you create clones?
