Dark Harvest GROW CHALLENGE!

Dark Harvest Grow Challenge​
Four of us, KingKush , RosettaStoned , oldjarhead100 , and I have been working to set up a simultaneous grow challenge. We have hashed out the details and are ready to announce it to the world and see if anyone wants to join us.
We plan to each grow the same two photoperiod strains. We will germinate on the same day and flip to 12/12 42 days later. Everything else is up to the individual grower. We have soil, hydro, and coco grows and all sorts of different lights. We will train our plants differently and use whatever nutrients we want. We have agreed to full disclosure and we will each post at least weekly updates to a common shared journal. We are going to grow two fantastic strains and this will be a unique opportunity to really measure our skills and grow technologies. We would love for you to join us… The More The Merrier!!

Key Info:
  • Germination Date: August 11, 2018 (New Moon)
  • Vegetation Period: 42 Days
  • Flip to 12/12 Lighting: September 22
  • Strain #1: Dark Ghost Train Haze (Rare Dankness)
  • Strain #2: Gorilla Cookies (Expert Seeds)
  • Dark Harvest: We will grow at least 2 plants of each strain and plan to harvest them after different periods of darkness: One after a normal dark period and one after an extended (at least 36 hours) Dark period.
Strains and Getting Seeds:
Let me assure you that much thought, research, deliberation, and negotiation have been invested in determining which seeds to get and grow. We wanted strains that are highly potent, photogenic, have superior genetics and are broadly available. We wanted strains that had very similar flowering times but different highs. We spent over a month working to settle on these two strains – and I think we are all very happy with our selections. We have already purchased seeds, so this decision is now locked in.
Both strains are available at Seedsman and Attitude seed banks. They are certainly available elsewhere as well. However, the four of us have already purchased seeds and have used both of those seed banks with no problem. They are not the cheapest seeds… We collectively decided that growing the best strains was more important to us than saving money on seeds. A couple of us used Bitcoin on Seedsman and saved considerably.

Dark Ghost Train Haze: “Dark Ghost Train is the product of a successful union between a Grape Ape mother and a male Ghost Train Haze #1. Yields are average but the THC production is high! Buds can turn purple and this feature gives it part of its name.
Dark Ghost Train is a reasonably fast-flowering cannabis strain that can be ready in just 56 days of flowering although some plants may need as much as another ten days to be ready to harvest. Despite average yields the results are more than worthwhile due to its superb sweet, grapey flavour, high resin production and wonderful, powerful high.”

Gorilla Cookies: “Gorilla Cookies is an absolute beast of a cannabis strain. This cross of Gorilla Glue #4 and Cookie Wreck boasts THC percentages in the mid 20s!
Gorilla Cookies is an indica-dominant plant that produces hard, dense buds that are just packed with resin. It is a good strain for both outdoors as well as indoors where it finishes flowering in 9 - 10 weeks. In addition to the almost absurdly high THC there is a good dose of CBD too courtesy of the Cookie Wreck.”

Join Us!
There will be so much to learn and see and share. We will be able to see the difference with different mediums, lights, and grow styles/strategies! You would be part of a collaborative group of growers who are looking to learn, share, and GROW together.
 
Great idea and a great invitation - well written. I for one cannot get a completely dark tent - and I'm having so much fun growing autos - but will definitely follow along for each to compare.
 
I'll sub to that for sure. I would love to join but have other plans for different strains. This is going to be good.
 
But I will be - August of this year I plan to have 2 photos growing in the back yard 'Green Crack' - have 2 7 gallon Geopot with handles. And by August the summer solstice will have already flipped them.
 
Good Morning All this is going to be two of the best strains we could find and its shaping up to be alot of fun , there are four of us so far but imagine if 20 growers did this the amount of knowledge that we would gain come join us its not starting until August so there is lots of time and seedsman is having a fantastic 4/20 sale
 
Looking at others who have grown these strains... All seem very happy - especially with Gorilla Cookies... From a RIU thread...
It's is extremely resiny, top to bottom. It really leans to the sativa side buzz wise, a wonderful morning and afternoon strain- maybe too strong. But a single bong hit and I'm good for the afternoon.

Not too many have grown Dark Ghost Train Haze, so I'll just post this picture... who wouldn't want buds like these?

Wow those look yummy. August you say? Hmm I'll have to see about joining been interested in the gc never heard of dgth but that looks like good stuff there.
 
We'd love to have you on board Chefbjy !
It'll be a lot of fun to all grow the same strains at the same time :)
The other seeds can wait - and you can never have too many seeds ;)
 
So I don't have to use both seed banks? They both carry them? Any other rules? I'm sure germination processes are different for each grower as well. And what if seeds don't pop? Or is that part of the challenge lol? I'm going to talk the wife into doing these strains. I have another grow in mind and idk of I can wait till August to start another grow. I want to keep things going full circle. Clones are marked for June 12th to harvest that leaves me a whole month before I can start this challenge. I will take it into consideration since I'll have a good supply going I might be able to wait 30 days rofl.
 
You just need to get the seeds, we don't care how. I put that info just to make it simpler.
I also will have about 2 months downtime between finishing the current grow and starting the challenge. I figure it is best to avoid the heat of the summer anyway.
You could also probably squeeze in a run if you have any fast flowering strains and don't mind starting the challenge outside of the tent.
Yes, everybody can germinate however (and however many) they want. Seeds just can't hit moisture before Aug 12. I think I will pop 3 each just to be sure and if they all pop I'll grow all 6, but if any don't I'll still have at least 2 of each. I am otherwise now thinking that 6 plants may be more than I need ;)
 
Lol Campensino. I think I'm just going to do 6each seedsman is out of stock on the dgth and guess they don't do debit because my card was declined. I have cash to send for a15% discount but weary of sending cash in the mail. Also could talk the wife into wire transfer for 15% discount also but pulling teeth now. She likes the strains so we're good on that I'm going to say I'll be in for this one.
 
Hey Chefbjy
RosettaStoned and I both ordered with bitcoin. Neither of us had done it before, but only took 20-30 min, saved a bunch, and got additional freebies! I am happy to post the instructions I put together on how to do it.
I know DGTH is out of stock at Seedsman :( ... I have an alert set to let me know when they are back in stock.
Stoked that you are planning to join us!
 
DGTH was cheaper at attitude and bitcoin was easy there as well. It's just buying enough BTC and not have get more, I think we both did it 😅. The selection of freebie I got was quite nice, 11 total
 
Ordered the 5pack of gc from seedsman guess I'll wait on the dgth. I'll have them notify me when they are in stock. 👋 😃 this should be interesting first time doing anything like this lol. Don't gloat if you all leave me in the dust rofl.
