'Goldfinger' - Malawi Gold X Flo

[Elevator Man]

It's definitely one of my favourites - hardly any leaf at harvest, just about finishes outdoors here (11-12 weeks indoors), and has a beautiful scent that's floral, earthy and exotic-herby all at once. It's basically a very sativa-structured Flo, but with none of the leaf you'd normally get. It's lovely.

It'll bush out once it gets going, especially outdoors, and won't start flowering probably till the beginning of September, so there's plenty of pinching-out potential. As for crossing it, I've no idea - maybe a not-too stoney indica to bulk it up and bring the flower-time down more, but I'd hate to spoil that high! Pics when you can...

Thanks. I'm doing my best, but with the space I have, and the constraints on my time, its difficult to do much more right now. I have to earn a living outside this small world, or no-one will ever get anything...

Yeah man I know you don`t have breeding facilities and shit.

Maybe you should somehow share your beautiful keepers with breeders like Tom Hill or dubi.
They really can continue you work further along

OK so finally some pictures of my Goldfingers!

Big thank you's to Elevator Man for the chance to grow this.



Here's the main one before and after bondage (about a week between pics):

My first ever successful clone! (now tied down):

What do you think?

 

[g0vnaa]

LOoks nice {;

 

[Elevator Man]

Awesome! And nice large pots too - should produce great. This pheno grew outdoors in very nasty conditions, and just about flowered OK, but was harvested two weeks early - I think under glass, it should be a monster...

Very interesting sounding cross Elevator Man. I'm paying attention. Sounds like a very nice combination of qualities. Especially the hightype. Good work.

A little update..

A little update..

Hi Guys and Gals...

A little update on the two Goldfingers.

They have both just been repotted into their final homes...the oldest one (gifted clone) is in a very large pot, perspective in the photo below doesn't do it justice...I have released it from its LSt shackles just to see what happens...so far the old Flo trick of 'Reach For The Skies' seems most dominant!!! LOL

The second and third images are the other clone (cloned by me...very proud 'bout that) and I have been giving it some serious lessons in bondage..! It too has just been repotted and I have only left one shoot standing tall...if we ignore that one, this 5 week old clone is about 3 inches tall!!!!!

I am a new fan of LST.

They've been liberally doused in Neem repel as they were beginning to suffer being next to the bug magnets that are: tomatoes, aubergines, chillis and cucumber plants.

Anyway...enough babble...here they are:

Cheers all and let me know what you reckon mmmmmmmkay?

Awesome training man
And those purples stems Beautiful

 

[The Hummus Monk]

Stretchy stretchy!

Stretchy stretchy!

OK so it's been about two weeks or so. here's a little pictorial update...

...they've just about finished they're stretch now (maybe another 6 inches or so to go)...and they're looking nice and happy! Hungry for water too.

First up the gifted clone Goldfinger #1:

...and now for Goldfinger #2:

...and now finally a little smoke!

 

[Elevator Man]

Beautiful. I haven't seen this pheno grown properly outdoors, so can't wait to see how this develops. I have my (ahem) last one at about seven weeks now. I didn't manage to get clones of it for one reason and another, so looks like you may have the only ones. Maybe take some backups before they start flowering...?

 

[g0vnaa]

First up the gifted clone Goldfinger #1:

lol man I love that plant :3
You did an awesome job training it like that.
It looks special.
I will be stoping by again to see it flower for sure.
And yeah make some clones and seeds maybe, that musn`t be lost

 

[The Hummus Monk]

Cheers guys!

I'll see what I can do regarding keeping it going...

Yep...I love looking at all those crazy knotted and knarly stems!

 

[The Hummus Monk]

I've taken 3 clones...hopefully they'll root!

If only I could get some pollen to sprinkle on them and get the seeds out to the server fund...

 

[The Hummus Monk]

A quicky

A quicky

3 clones rooted and thriving.

here's a pictorial update...next one will be in a month...leaving the ladies in the hands of a friend (gulp)...so hopefully alive on my return.

 

[Elevator Man]

Wow, that is just beautiful. I always knew this pheno would do well outdoors, and those top stems are just sweeeet. I really hope your friend can do the job...

 

[Highlighter]

Awesome the cuts took!

Glad she's in that greenhouse, she's gonna test yer patience me thinks.
About as far along as my 'Fla' plant and I'm thinking Nov. w/ her.
Best wishes, HL

 

[The Hummus Monk]

Yep...well they're gonna have to be harvested no later than 20th November regardless! That would put them at about 11-12 weeks of flowering. From 28th November me and the missus are away for 2 months!!!!

So it'll all have to be jarred up by then and left with a friend to burp them!

Phewwwwww!

 

[The Hummus Monk]

A month has passed..

A month has passed..

OK.

Back from a month away. Plants cared for by a friend and fed every watering with BioBizz Grow and Flower (N given in flower with these nutes). They're now massive!

Been flowering for 4 weeks approx. Quite substantial yellowing occuring on the G#1...my hunch is that it's very finicky with regards to root space...I ain't gonna get too worried though...I just see it as the plant taking what it needs from the leaves...

I will up the nutes next watering though.

trichomes are just starting to show themselves and the stems when rubbed are so delicious!!! Berry x Berry divided by funk times by incense with a bit more blackberry on top to cap it off!

I'd say Goldfinger #1 is at least 7foot tall now...i sure hope she's stopped stretching...this is the stretchiest plant I've grown to date.

OK..enough babble...

Goldfinger#1

Goldfinger#2

Cheers Peeps!

 

[Elevator Man]

Beautiful - just as I hoped they'd look. Actually, that yellowing isn't too bad, and given it's half-Flo, there's bound to be some leaf-drop. It does seem a little earlier than under lights though, but then outdoors is a little different! Good work.

 

[The Hummus Monk]

I've repotted them anyway.
