Gonzo #1 & Strawberry D. - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

exactlywatt · 11-30-2006, 11:23 PM

Hey yall! I've been posting some pics in Rez's forum for a bit and decided to actually start a Grow thread here.

On with the show...

Here are my Gonzo #1 and Strawberry Diesel ladies. These pics are from 14 days into flower and the calyxes are just starting to fly!!

The StrawberryD's

and the Gonzo's

They are under 600 watts and are growing in a 3/4 coir, 1/4 foxfarm soil(red bag) mix, that has alot of peralite added as well. I'm feeding with GN Flora Nova Bloom. The StD gets 2.5ml per gallon, The Gonzos are getting 5ml. I was also using some Kelp through veg, and occasionally I use a tiny bit of Floralicious Plus(i got a free bottle with my T5 fixture). I'm using the Flora Nova Bloom through veg and flower, it follows the Lucas formula perfectly!

I'm pretty sure I have 2 different phenos of the StD. The one not pictured is kinda a runt due to user error and dumb luck.
A cricket did this when she was only 2 weeks old:

So, now I know that you can top a seedling and it WILL survive!

And then a fan fell on her and broke off one side the day I took the flower pics! So obviously I cloned the broken stalk, and here it is:

This plant is as easy to clone as the Gonzo is. I simply stick the cut into a small container of water, put them under 15watts of light, and change the water every 3 days or so. They are ready to plant in 2 weeks. Easy as pie...

The Gonzo's are clones(my first batch), I ran the seeds last summer. This pheno grows very sativa like, which comes from the Sk1 genes she's got. I had to cut the original plant down 15 days too early due to a lease issue, I was only planning on a 60 day cycle and this lady wants several more. I can't wait to see what this plant will do with those last 10 days! Even when I cut that early she was very lemony! (Baffledmonkey finished his run a little while ago and I got a preview that had me drooling:smile

I'll have some new pics up in a day or 2; they are 22 days into flower and the bud sites are really starting to get going! And I think the Gonzo's are about done stretching. They are over 5 feet tall now! I vegged them for a LONG time(I was waiting for the Strawberry seedlings to catch up). These are certainly the biggest I've grown in a closet. Too bad I don't have another 1000 watts! :smile:

It's day 23 and things are starting to get interesting yall!

Here are the Gonzo bushes:

They are already starting to get that nice sativa fruity skunk smell! Does anybody else think they resemble the M39 mama just a bit? :smile:

And now for the Strawberry D's.

pheno 1:

She is already starting to get frosty!

pheno 2:

This one is much more sativa looking, and the leaves are a little bit lighter shade of green. She won't be a runt for too much longer, the buds are coming in nicely now, and it seems like she has recovered from all the trauma.

That's all the pics for now, I'll post some more in couple weeks when the colas start to fill in.

Time2Unite- thanks for dropping by, if all goes well then the Gonoz's will be
looking real nice in a month or so!:smile:

I got bored and took some pics of my seed packs, the proofs in the pudding as they say :smile:

I put some of the QuickMistDiesel and all of the OG Kush Bx1 F2's
(thanks JLP!) into water today. :smile:

exactly watt .... how the hell did u get a 12 pack of strawberry diesel?? mine is only a 10 pack

UmphreyMcgee420 · 12-08-2006, 12:19 AM

^12 seeds on the first release i recall.

exactlywatt · 12-08-2006, 02:56 AM

Hu$tle Tree$-thanks for the compliments! Best of luck to you on the beans, I think I'm gonna regret not picking up the Princess Diesel. So many choices though, And the Quickmists were a little cheaper...

parest400- Umphrey had it right. The original release was about a year ago, it took a whole day before they sold out; this last round was RIDICULOUS!

exactlywatt · 12-13-2006, 07:55 AM

It's day 34 of flower and things are looking good! They are starting to bulk up, I'm gonna have to get some stakes soon...

The Gonzo's:

They are smelling very fruity, just like Skunk #1.

Strawberry D:

look at all those trichs already!
