Nice, I also have some GDP going and will be looking to see how these turn out. You have some beautiful plants, looks like you took care of them in veg. Do you water with a reservoir, pump and hose? or another method?

Also- why 7 Gallon pots? Is 5 really not enough? 5 gallon could save you on soil costs :dunno: Thanks keep it up

Yes 5 gal is not big enough for my setup..My plants root systems get too big for 5 gal pots. Been using the 7's for over a year now & my plants are much happier:tiphat:

Sounds like a pretty productive setup, and the plants look great. I really wish I could get out to cali and snag some clones. GDP, blue dream and OG are at the top of my list. Proper Blue dream will get 5k all day out here, and you guys consider it commercial haha. Anyway I cant wait to see your GDP blow up! What kind of flavor does your cut have? Thanks for sharing

I am totally with you friend, for some reason 5 is too little and 10 is always too big and I always end up wasting soil. GDP looks really good, I have 5 veging in my closet right now that should hit the grow tent in another 35 ish days. This is my first grow with this strain. Are they more productive as a single cola plant or multi branched?

Go l3ig or go home......hope you can reach 10p!


2 lbs per light w/ out Co2 would be pretty frickin' amazing..I have a 12x12x15 barn I am getting all dialed in w/ new equipment & will have a Hydrogen Co2 burner w/ water exchanger. Will post a new topic when that room is set-up..:dance013:

There was sooooo much o/d Blue Dream grown this summer in Cali that there is a serious flood of it on the LA MMJ market & most clubs are turning it away (or paying only a fraction of what it's worth). Some very nice lookin o/d Blue Dream too!:blowbubbles:

Hey man, im curious, I see air cooled hoods and your lights. is there anything unique about your set up? I'm always looking to expand my knowledge :p, as im sure we all are.

Tell us about intake/exhaust, etc.
 
They look perfect. Not one burnt tip in sight. I love GDP, wish it was available locally or wish i could snag a cut from someone.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Great job!

Nothing too unique, but here's the set-up: 8" Radiant air cooled hoods. Vortex 8" blower cooling hoods. 12" Vortex outtake blower hooked up to a 5 ft Odor scrubber. 8" Vortex Blower blowin' fresh air in. 2 of the lights are on an 8 ft light mover, 3 lights fixed. Lumatek Electronic ballasts, Hortilux Bulbs. 32000 BTU Air Conditioner, which I do not need right now as it has been freakin' cold as all heck lately, having to have a heater on during lights out. Dehumidifier, which I have hooked up to my res to reuse any water removed from room (dehuey's make excellent, VERY clean water!!). Sentinel Climate controller which controls a/c, dehuey,air intake & outake. Had a 5ft Co2 tank hooked up but this grow room is connected to our house & my wife read somewhere that co2 can be deadly so I only have Co2 in my outside barn now! Darn wife gettin' all smart on me & $hit! :laughing:

u have equipment enough for growing what u want. your plants look fantastic, keep on rocking, 'll be here watching.
 
Wonder if any of that excess Blue Dream ended up over here on the east coast. It was around almost all summer, and still coming in batches. Great stuff, been nothing but headies around here for the past few years. Can't believe you guys call it commercial. One of my top strains up there with Jack Herer and Shishkaberry. Been going for 450 an Oz, not much price break for more weight.

I would bet money that yes, the east coast ended up w/ tons (literally) of our excess OD this year. Last summer we received $2300/lb for our OD (sour diesel & SFV OG), so many people grew OD this year the price dropped to $2000 right out the gate & we are currently at around $1800 w/ some growers selling much cheaper. But for excellent AAA quality OD $1800 is about what the clubs are paying:tumbleweed:
 
Dutchcrunch, Love to see the grandaddy thrown in some bigger pots and grown to potential, in my neck of the woods i'm always seeing dudes throwing em in 2 gals and just cramming em in, keeping my eye on this one.
