Nugs that looks amazing!!!!! Day 18 means 30 days to harvest? or around that. What training did you do? Does the reservoir have water and a drip system with air stones in the bottom? Did you grow with HPS the entire time?

[RADAR]

I cant get past the 2nd pic. Your gonna need a chain saw to cut the baby down!!!!!!

@ 600 what do you expect harvest per plant? is this a first with GDP for you?

I don't really count the first several days after flip as flower days. Usually when I see the first real flowers forming, I'll mark it. Day 8 in her case. GG4 was day 7. At any rate, I think GDP is an 8 week strain so I've got a while.

Training was a topping at the 3rd node, then topping the 2 new mains at the 3rd node again. Then, I used plant ties to keep her flat.

Yes the reservoir feeds the drip rings. I run them 30 min on, 1 hr off during lights off and I run for 30 min in the middle of dark. 1 airstone in each bucket.

I actually used an induction light for veg. My uncle gave me one. It's a 300w Ibeam lamp. Does great for veg. When they got bigger, I installed the reflector and a 600w MH bulb. 18/6 with both lamps. I kept the MH in for 1 week after flipping to 12/12, then I put in the HPS.

First time running GDP. I'm hoping for 12 oz off the GDP and 6 from the GG4.

It wasn't easy this go. I fought spider mites, fungus gnats, scheduling conflicts, timer issues, and for the love of god why won't my cat stop eating my leaves!

I'm quite proud I got this far and they're looking this healthy.

Royal my cat wanted to do this until I realized he was just jealous I was calling them babies , I brought some kitty treats into the basement and I make a big deal about him give treats and he's left my plants alone....oh ya grew him a crop of catnip LOL

Gdp from my experience are very forgiving, became fully towards the end of your crop. My biggest problem was botrytis.

Beautiful plants!

Thanks! I've only been growing for almost a year and you guys at GWE were my greatest source of information and inspiration. So basically.... that's GDP by GWE!

Nebula, you're a rockstar!

Sirius, you're the man!

Day 24 from flip.

Starting to bulk up. Lotsa frost!

[Royal Nugs]

Here's my side chicks. All fem seeds.

El Fuego by Grow Your Own (DNA)
Purple Kush by Genofarm
Lemon Kush Headband by Humboldt Seeds
Ice Bomb by Bomb Seeds

I popped 6 seeds keeping the best 4. Critical Kush from Barneys and Northern Lights by Sensi didn't make the cut.
