The veg pics you posted look very similar to what I have but it's hard to be sure.

I haven't flowered her out yet. I'm taking clones of her today and then she's going to VEG for another few weeks before she gets flowered.

Just found a few seeds in some platinum cookies yesterday. Think im gonna go sprout them after seeing tue ogkb 2.0 thread.

For instance I usually veg for 6 weeks in my style of growing (1 plant per light, 30-45 gallon pots of soil) but with the Platinum I feel like I have to do more like 8 weeks to get it to fill the space proper. I top early and then try to leave it alone until I drop the screen on them.

It seems to like ample root space in order to grow at a reasonable speed. I try to be really on top of it with transplanting so they never stall out. Some strains will show you a droopy leaf or other sign of distress when they get root bound but these plats seem to just slow their roll big time without giving you an obvious sign of distress.

I think they like to stay a little more on the moist side vs. drying out too much between each watering. They definitely like more humidity vs. less during veg. I try to stay on top of it with foliar feedings as well to keep them rolling along.

Some things I do like about this cut:

Easy to clone.
Fairly resistant to pests/mold.
Solid structure compared to super lanky OG's.
Obviously the finished quality is high and with good conditions it's possible to grow some pretty fat cookie nugs.


All that said, it's pretty easy to mess up and end up with a bunch of popcorn. This plant is never going to yield like crazy compared to many other strains but I think it can be decent if done right.

Heat is enemy #1 IMO. Raise those lights up during flowering. If your side branches have fatter, more connected buds than your center branches, your lights are too low.

#2 enemy is over fertilization. I grow in amended soil so I don't have to feed heavily but even so I have botched it before and gone too strong with the bloom food. I've watched my buddies growing this one in coco and they always overfeed it, resulting in segmented tops and sub par quality.

My feeling is that if you keep your temps in check and your plants are healthy they can handle a little more food. Likewise if your feeding is on point they will be able to handle a little higher temps. When they get overfed and overheated is when things really go sideways in my experience.

5 weeks veg. Just transplanted into a 45 a few days ago, watered in caps bennies and they're starting to take off. View Image

Last round.

Two rounds back (not my best but not my worst either).

If too much light, heat and nutes seem to stall it I would wonder if it might need higher co2 levels to keep pumping out flowers. Maybe it is just co2 deprived and can't utilize what's available. Has anyone tried it with high co2 levels?

anybody know if snipe is still doing his thing? is he on IG?

[Croptober]

I think he's elitecannagiver on ig.
