OG Godfather grow

[hukaraptor]

Hi all,

Firstly, thank you to the members of this community for helping me on my first real grow. I got a decent yield on a blue dream plant. It is wildly potent and I had a ton of fun. I’m hooked on growing!

I’m now growing a couple of OG godfather plants (ilgm). 3 gallon pots, coco loco, cheap/effective HLG 65W light, 2x2x4 tent.

Here are the first 5 weeks. I topped them at the 5th node at 5 weeks. Starting to bend and shape now.

Well done congrats on your harvest. Isn't it a great hobby? Plus your skills contribute to the excellence of your harvest. That's one potent strain GOG good luck on this new grow.

Week 6.5 I just flipped to 12/12. Let it rip!

High to you soon it looks like. I've heard alot about this strain very high THC they say. You tent looks great.

[hukaraptor]

It’s amazing how much of a difference moving to a 3gal pot makes. I’m a tad worried about height but have it as under control as I’ll get at this point. Fun to watch different strains grow!

A friend recently gave me some legit Godfather OG seeds. 3 single containers he got as samples, but he couldn't remember from where. Popped around 6 wks ago. Very excited.

I have a Godfather OG I just flipped to 12/12 yesterday, these came from Blimburn. Blimburn has always been a mid level breeder to me but I have high hopes. Pun intended

[SoOrbudgal]

Well I hope she grows well for you it's a strain i will eventually be growing.

[Allenpro]

Thanks

One week after the 12/12 flip. This plant are robust! Today was the first day I could definitively tell I have only females. I’m using feminized seeds, but you still have that “what if?” feeling until you see the pistils.

Looking at your photos, something is a little off. The tops are a different color. How close are the lights? What/how often are you feeding them. Are you using Cal/Mag?

[PRIMO]

hukaraptor Might I suggest you keep using your "grow" or veg. nutrients for a week or two after you switch the flip, to give them the oomph they need to blast thru the stretch. Probably bro science, but it kinda makes sense. Not for nothing, but I do it, it seems to help.

[hukaraptor]

@john1963 I don’t use cal/mag; only grow/bloom. I add 1/2 tsp per gallon every other water (effectively 1x per week). This is only my 3rd grow so just learning the basics. The lights are about 18-20 inches away. I thought maybe those were just the color of new growth? My light is at 100% but tunable. Maybe I should dial it down?

[johnb1963]

Hello Hukaraptor, I'm on my 3rd grow of godfather og. Love it. My current grow is 3 plants. Flipped to 12/12 on April fools day. This time one plant has red hairs. This is the first of nine that has done that.

[Allenpro]

Nice, I have to guess you like the smoke? Are they all grown from seeds or are they clones? Who is the breeder?

[Radeon]

Nice grow bro. Beautiful...

[johnb1963]

Hello Allenpro, yes all from seeds from PacificSeedBank. And yes smoke is fabulous! Here's my girl!

[hukaraptor]

johnb1963 those are some nice looking plants! I’ve been having fun watching mine grow. My winter grow was a huge bummer because my temps in my space were 60-65F and got temp control a bit late. Considering insulating my tent.

Is this a dog thread now?

mahalo

[johnb1963]

Good looking dog! My first few grows I wasn't using cal/mag ang my plants were looking like yours. If you are using led lights you need to add the cal/mag once a week.

[hukaraptor]

Buds are forming! I traveled for a week and came back to lots of white hairs. These ladies are a bit unwieldy, but I think the stretch is over (I hope) We are at 3.5 weeks into 12/12. Had to raise my light board all the way to the top of the tent to give me 16 inches to the top of the canopy. I'm hoping I'll be able to ride things out.


mahalo

[SoOrbudgal]

I've had less space between canopy an light a couple times and that 4th pic with that tall stalk may just need to be pulled sideways or if you've ever supercropped squeeze the place you want to lower the cola and gentle bend it over. Takes alittle patience to get the feel of the tissue busting bud do it slowly an wiggle it should flop over and be fine it will create a knuckle. Looking good so far

[Allenpro]

The one I have going more than doubled in the stretch and had a couple of over achievers I had to super crop. Plan for double but leave room for triple just in case. Lots of leaves and suckers too but the node spacing is good

[hukaraptor]

5.5 weeks into flowering. Things are getting frosty over here. The smell is wild when the tent gets opened. I tried to be more hands off with this grow and it may have bitten me in the ass a bit. Lots of crowding and huge differences in development. A few nice looking buds are fine. Then off to the next grow.

mahalo

[Allenpro]

Those are looking good

[hukaraptor]

Got a couple outdoor pots as well. 2x bubble gum, 1 Girl Scout cookie auto and a mystery seed from Jamaica. These are mostly just for fun and to learn about how to best deal with the Minnesota grow season.

I lost plants 2 years running to bud rot growing outside in Maine, they were just Auto Flowers so meh, lol. Last year we had very low humidity so I am going to give it another shot. I have sense been told to start autos outside up here in June for the best luck. We will see

[hukaraptor]

I’m a little worried about humidity. We have had record rainfalls this year and are finally out of a multi year draught (good). The mosquitos are unreal already (bad).

Have you had it before? I was really contemplating that strain when I bought my GSCE seeds, ILGM also....

[hukaraptor]

This is my first go with the Godfather OG seeds. So far, they have been easy to deal with, especially given my lack of experience. They grow BIG is the only significant observation.
