Testing GDK in dirt with love - Granddaddy Purp Genetics - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

MileHighGuy · 10-25-2012, 02:27 AM

Big Ups to the GDP team and Clarence for hooking me up.

I received the Grand Daddy Kush on Monday 10/22/12 and they have been in the refrigerator since.

I'll document every important step and photograph as often as necessary. Then I'll follow up with a smoke report.

Although I love freebies, I take my responsibility as a tester serious and I'll be as non-biased as I can.

My Process for this Test:

Organic Re-Cycled and Re-amended Super Soil

I'll brew a compost tea after trasnplant and one more about 1-2 weeks into flower. Other than that, just straight water.

10 Gallon Dirt Bags (Like smartpots but with better handles)

BluMat auto watering once into flower.

3 - 600 Watt HPS with cooled hoods.

I think that's all... For now I'll just be getting things started.

Pictures to come once they stand up.

Hell ya, this should be nice! Good luck man, I'll be here to the end!

I dropped 10 seeds into a shot glass full of water on a heating mat and all 10 popped within 24 hours with nice fat tails.

This morning I transplanted them tails down into some rapid rooters.

They are now in rapid rooter trays under a dome on a heating mat and Under some Blue Spectrum T5's

I expect all 10 will be jumping out and standing up within 72 hours.

Well.... I got unlucky I guess. But that's okay and I'm eager to see what I have.

5 out of 5 seeds popped up and 2 are iffy but should pull through... out of the good 5.

The other 40 Seeds in the same tray and dome had 35 out of 40 success rate.

I'll keep updated on the growth of the 5 that made it as they are transplanted into a nice recycled organic soil in the veg tent with plenty of humidity.

Pictures this weekend.

Out of 5 that popped. 2 never dropped their hat and couldn't get it together

One is looking like it might follow the same course, but i'm confident that I'll have at least 2 good seeds.

Really excited and hoping for at least one female

I'm a sad sad man right now.

All of my seeds made it except the Grand Daddy Kush.

I didn't lose any of the other 40 seeds I had transplanted..... but I just looked and the two out of 3 Grand Daddy Kush's are now dead...

I have one left, wish me luck with this one.

Maybe this is the natural selection of the strongest pheno.. haha

2 More Packs on the way.

These two packs will be treated like gold.

I'll make sure to get a good test grow out of em asap.

Much happier now than I was earlier.
