Jerry Garcia Growing Up

[Crazy Chester]

A few pics of the SLH this morning.

In just a couple days they've matured rapidly...

Very nice,jerry

Keep the vegetative stage real short if you can. I'd let the clones bloom as they root. Chester..what's your experience with them?
I only grew it from seed so far.

@marshydro if I could turn time back,I'd choose two sp3000 to cover more ground.
There is a bit of a hotspot in middle of my 90x150 tent and the sides get a bit less light of course. Nonetheless is a really nice light.
Maybe you can make it 10cm wider.
...spread the LED's apart a bit..or like the sanlight's shape?

My experience is like Jerry's - Franco's cut stretches a lot. But, going 12/12 right at the beginning might help. Flowering when they are 6-8 inches tall should keep her under three feet tall - I don't think she stretches more than 4x her veg height. I pretty much let myself get surprised every-time and end up scrambling to supercrop her into place, lol.

So the SLH came down last night. I was seeing a good 10-15% amber and a majority cloudy so I think 78 days 12/12 was about right. I have them hanging to dry. Once I get them dry and into Grove Bags, I’ll bring the Cherry Pies into the flower room and get them going.

SLH, as expected, is not a huge yielder but I expect the smoke will be stellar. The finger hash I had from pulling off fan leaves was insane.

been using them for some time now "Grove Bags" - so you mix a "inoculant" in your soil ? (Pro Mix and Dynomyco)only two compamies that make this. I can't believe what a differenc it has made increasing rooting, yields, ect I use good soil (fox farms/happy frog/orginal) going to get at least 1lb a plant with this stuff - did do a side-by-side also (with/with-out) I will always use this now - just mix it in your base soil and there you have it - you inoculanted you soil ( recommend not feeding any Great White. Orca, ect because of the "tritras' - for a few week after inoculating

Wow - that's some serious resin! What does she smell like, Jerry?

 

[Jerry_Garcia]

She smells amazing! Very strong lemon scent with a hint of skittles.

Fucking gorgeous!

So the SLH are in their Grove Bags. We’ll see how these bags work. I’ll certainly let you all know. I’ll give them a good month before testing.

So the Cherry Pies are in the flower room, transplanted and on day 2 of 12/12. These really took nicely to topping during veg. A nice even canopy and many tops. Really excited to watch these flower! I have high hopes for them.

I should have mentioned, I ended up getting just over a lb. on this grow. My 1000w HPS can certainly do better so I have to again state she just isn’t a huge yielder. Given the low yield and long flower time, this smoke must be something special for folks to be sharing this cut. I’m excited!

Chester and I will need new accounts if you don't like that weed

Good morning! A little SLH test this morning. With only 2 weeks cure on her, she is already a nice smoke. I would say 80% sativa with a smidge of indica. I say that because she is nearly all in the head and strong. I’m not a heavy smoker but 2 rips and I’m very good. So excited to let her get a few weeks cure. The lemon is already coming through quite strong.

It will be nice watching those Cherry Pies flower out. Here's one I have outdoors about a week from harvest:

So here is some SLH fresh out of Grove Bags. This stuff is really starting to smell wonderful. Lemon certainly comes through but the other smells are hard for me to place. It’s smoking better and better. I’ve thus far given it to one friend and she’s asking for more! Good sign.

…and by the way Chester, beautiful looking Cherry Pie! You’ve got me excited to run her. My CP ladies are at about 2 weeks 12/12 and just starting to bud.

Thanks, Jerry - I'm pleased with how she's turning out - my camera can't do her beauty justice though. Her buds are tight and the pistils have all died back to a nice orange color and she's got that purple/green two-tone thing going on in her leaves too. I'm going to harvest her tomorrow.

Everybody's sense of smell is different, but I had the same experience when I first grew her - it was lemon for sure - but, it was something else too. After smelling her for several grows, I now think she smells like equal parts of lemon, lime and roses!

Good luck with the harvest. I’ll anxiously be waiting for some pics and smoke/smell/taste report. Happy growing and stay lifted

Fuckin ehh!! Actually been toying with the idea of addin a early flower tent with 315cmh to tame initial stretch n tighten up internodal spacing. Will be watchin ya to see how she goes!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Carlos, I was reading back through posts and was wondering if you had gotten your 315cmh early flower tent set up? Very curious how it is working for you

The Cherry Pie ladies just starting to show some tiny buds.

I’ve been smoking on the SLH for a bit now. It’s so nice and makes for a flavorful joint. I love the high she gives. It’s cerebral with a nice bit of energy and a touch of body stone. I’m reluctant to give much of this away as it truly is headstash quality. The Groove Bags are doing a nice job letting her cure up. I’ll be using these bags again!
