Goober’s Growery

[Goober]

Hey guys, I’m new here. Just found this forum today. I’m on Overgrow under a different name but I’ve been growing for almost half of my life. Right now I’m growing some Godfather OG and Dragons Blood Hashplant.

I’ve had my hand at breeding before years ago. Me and my brother bred a really killer Mexican sativa to a random unknown indica and made a strain we called “Sweet Creek”. He grew some old seed stock out recently and gave me some seeds of it as well since I lost mine. Here’s an example of it


I only have 4 seeds of it so after this pheno hunt of the DBHP I’ll be open pollinating and hunting through the f2’s of the Sweet Creek to find the “limeade” pheno. We lost it a few years back unfortunately. Anyway, this is gonna be a shit show and a half so I hope you enjoy

Welcome to the PHam.
Good luck on the Sweet Creek Op.

 

[Goober]

Thanks man, I’m gonna need all the help I can get. But for now the focus will be on the DBHP. It’s from the preservation run on Overgrow in 2016. I’m surprised 7 of the 8 popped. That’s like a 87% germ rate. Pretty good for 8 year old seeds lol

[Frimpong]

Welcome!

 

[Bullfrog]

Welcome dude.

Lucky you, got a grow buddy in your brother. Tried for years to get my brother interested was never successful. It's so much more fun when ya have a someone to share with. I lost that for a while until I found this forum.

Nothing above ground yet but it’s only been less than 24h since I planted the germinated seeds into the cups

But the Godfather OG cut is killing it so far

 

[Goober]

For reference, this is what the cut looked like a week ago when I received it in the mail.

 

[Goober]

I pulled a couple limbs and fans off the clone to clean it up a bit yesterday and it bounced back over night.

And we have 4 seedlings rising like zombies out of their graves lol. Still waiting on the other 3

That cup of water in the middle is dechlorinating right now. I always leave a cup out for a couple days and then use it to water the GFOG and then fill it back up for next time.

Daily update

GFOG

7/7 DBHP above ground

 

[Rozgreenburn]

Nice start, I'm subbed. I love 100% germination, good on ya!

Well 87% germination really. I started with 8 seeds and only 7 popped, those are the ones I put in the cups

 

[Goober]

The GFOG has a Ph issue until my calibration solution gets here on the 15th


And the DBHP seedlings seem to be happy

 

[Goober]

I’m gonna be giving it a dose of LITFA from now on. Did some lollipoping and LST to the GFOG



Leaves look nice and healthy


Also have some nice mycorrhiza growing out of the pots around the roots



DBHP seedlings looking happy and healthy

I took 3 cuts of the GFOG today. First time cloning something believe it or not lol. I bought some Root Riot plugs from Amazon and I’ve had a bottle of clonex for like a year now unopened. I went to Walmart yesterday and got a seed starter tray but it didn’t come with a dome so I got creative.

The tubs I use to grow mushrooms are modified with 3M Micropore tape. It’s basically tape with microscopic holes in it that only allow air flow and filters out spores and whatnot. So I took the cuts, cut them at a 45 degree angle, soaked them in the Clonex and popped them in the root riot plugs. Then I placed the tray into the tub and misted the hell out of it.


Here’s the GFOG after I took the cuts




And the DBHP seedlings

 

[Goober]

GFOG perked back up

Clones look good

DBHP

 

[Goober]

Been slacking on the updates over here lol

I culled 2 of the DBHP because 1 was a runt and the other was a mutant that I didn’t like the look of. The GFOG is doing great. I’ll be transplanting the DBHP into 3 gallon pots today



Some crackhead stole my DeWalt drill so I had to break out the 20+ year old Snap On and a paddle bit to drill holes into the bottom of the pots. I used to work at a local grocery chain years ago and the flower department would give me the pots for free but they don’t have drainage holes.

 

[Goober]

Transplant was a success


I’ll be watering them in with mosquito bit water for those little fucking fungus gnats
