Green Crack outdoor grow from clone

MisticHaze · July 14, 2018, 3:01am

Good to meet you (and everybody else in this topic) too. I’ve been lurking a few cannabis forums (and this one), but never had a grow that seemed worth posting. I was only growing indoors with no ac, which I think I need to get a good indoor harvest or just growing once a year during winter (fuck that lol). My buddy and I live with some people who aren’t too cannabis friendly so we never had the opportunity to try outdoor growing. One day my buddy said fuck it and put a plant outdoors all the way to harvest (a bud of it is pictured above) and it was just a little awkward, but seems like they’ve settled on a just ignore what those guys are doing situation. It’s the best we could have hoped for honestly lol.

Anyways I’ve been looking at your growing chronicles thread and your plants are looking great too! I was going to plant some autos alongside this one like you, but I decided not too because of our awkward living situation. They can barely handle this one and some clones, don’t want to freak them out.

If your neighbors are trippin’, check out this CA farm:

I wish I could have a grow like that! I’m dealing with a bit of heat from both my neighbors and people I live with. Could be worse, but could also be more chill lol. I’d say I’m on neutral terms with these people when it comes to growing. They could’ve killed the plant on the dl if they were really fucked up.

Northern CA is still where it’s at for growing (especially outdoor). Legalization didn’t do much to change the thinking of older generations down here in Southern CA (especially among the old school hispanic population. I’m Mexican so not dissing, just the truth). I hear some of the older folks up north grow the most, polar opposite of down here. I actually worked at a cannabis company for a bit, but they moved up north because of the more accepting atmosphere. They took our jobs!!! LOL jk.

Edit: I see that Seed 2 Soul farms has operations in Cloverdale, CA (Nor Cal) and Desert Hot Springs (So Cal) or maybe they’re moving. The difference? Cloverdale is in Sonoma county (wine country) and DHS is next to land you can legally shot shotguns on. Bullshit.

Hey guys,
Tiny update tonight. I’m trying to figure out if my plant is in the very beginning stages of flower or if I’m just confusing a bunch of pre-flowers for flowers (it’s happened before). Here’s a picture:

I see a few trichomes on a few leaves in this picture which makes me think that this plant is in the beginning stages (just barely) of flower. What do you guys think?

Also, if it is starting to flower, does that mean I should stop training it and just let it do it’s thing?

cannabissequoia · July 16, 2018, 5:43am

i think she’s a she and probably stop messing with her.
hard to say if what we see are trichomes though. hmm. won’t complain.

2.5 cents

Hoodini · July 20, 2018, 3:10am

Yes! Stop training! She is definitely in the start of flower! Looks good bro LITFA 🖒👌 check out my green crack she hasnt started flowering yet but I’ve trained her too and I’m stopping training because she will be starting flower soon.

Some outdoor plants are starting to make pistils up here at 45N.

MisticHaze · January 29, 2021, 2:22pm

Wanted to post some more pictures, but it’s dark and they all came out blurry so it’ll have to wait for tomorrow. Here’s the only decent one:

Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to keep the cutting around since I’m probably going to have family staying in my room in about a week and my room is too cramped to have a grow area and have them stay. At least the dispensary said they can get strains that they used to have back in stock if requested, but you never know what they will really be giving you (might be different). I have a clone of it in a pot, but with my current situation I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep it vegging in my room. I wish I had my own place…

Sadly, this will most likely be the first and only run of this exact Green Crack
It’s a shame because it grew like crazy and smells lemony/fruity already. I’ll be sure to grow a cut of it from the dispensary again someday, but who knows if it will be the same.

On a brighter note: your GC plants look great @Hoodini. I can’t believe you’re able to grow such lush green plants in the desert. We had a 103F day here and me and my plants were dying haha. Props to you.

Hoodini · July 20, 2018, 6:20am

You’ll get there man no problem 🖒 first you have to learn your environment, then learn the plants, then learn how the environment effect those plants lol not hard honestly! It’s just a lot of trial and error bro! More error than anything I cant wait for ours to be in full flower together to see the comparison in plant and bud looks
Edit- I didn’t mean size or anything just phenotype looks! @ReikoX eh eh look at that that’s the proper use for phenotype! Lol

cannabissequoia · July 20, 2018, 8:11am

for whatever its worth, i hear you can keep cuttings in the fridge for up to a month(?)…maybe you could keep the thing going with a nice little box or something. in--neato

MisticHaze · July 20, 2018, 4:10pm

Good idea and I’ll keep that in mind for the future when my fridge isn’t bursting at the seams already
Can you store both rooted and unrooted cuttings? Would the cold prevent them from flowering in practically total darkness?

cannabissequoia · July 20, 2018, 5:28pm

…as i understand it…around 40F they sloooooow down to near stasis. not sure about light requirement though. SkunkmanSam has mentioned it in some talks.
i recall their water & light needs are also jack shit at that temp. makes sense to me. evidently he used a walk-in fridge as a mother library or something like that.

MisticHaze · July 20, 2018, 7:23pm

So a city inspector is showing up sometime soon. A neighbor called a false complaint on us saying someone was living in our garage and the inspector saw our garage was a mess so that was an infraction. Now since grows need to be locked up to be legal in CA (don’t know if it applies to outdoor, but why wouldn’t it) I have to stick that huge plant indoors. I don’t even think it will fit through the door! God am I pissed!!! Sorry guys just venting a bit. The older I get the more I’m starting to see I hate neighbors and government

cannabissequoia · July 20, 2018, 9:17pm

hrrrm.

i wonder if they used the “false complaint” to cover their real “complaint”.

dunno. some neighbors are like friends or family if the time develops it. others are a damn menace.

wish u luck with whatever you decide to do.

Scissor-Hanz · July 21, 2018, 12:03am

You can get an infraction from the municipality for a messy garage?

MisticHaze · July 21, 2018, 2:22am

Yep, had to rent a storage locker to store some stuff and already got fined anyways. We’re just trying to prevent getting fined more. To be fair, we have collected an absurd amount of stuff over the years/decades, but still: It’s our damn property! Not rented, ours. Or so we thought

MisticHaze · July 21, 2018, 2:24am

Bullshit.

MisticHaze · January 29, 2021, 2:28pm

Ok that’s enough of my rant. We’ll see what happens, but for now back to the grow.

Some new pics, she’s definitely flowering and that sweet smell gets stronger every day. Sometimes I just rub some leaves to be able to smell it more. Going out again right now to go get another sniff, it relaxes me. Just came back and after rubbing some sugar leaves, my fingers are sticky so we definitely got some trichomes going on those leaves. Yay. You could kinda see them in the picture below:

And some others:

And lastly some of my buddy’s last harvest under a microscope from same location where my plant is (harvested in mid June):

Don’t know what that orange thing is

Next nug is better, promise.

Sorry for the triple post and this very long post. I’m all over the place right now

MisticHaze · January 29, 2021, 3:02pm

I’ll try to limit the pictures for the next posts. I get carried away haha.

Meesh · July 25, 2018, 3:49am

Looks like she loved the pruning! Looks great!
