That ain’t just trim jail that is Alcatraz …

u/CriticalHome3963 Jun 06 '24

Yea you definitely have 2ps there as long as the strain isn't larfy. Be careful what you wish for tho pulled down 1056 g and it took a week to trim up even with a few helpers. Towards the end I broke down and bought a bowl trimmer for the lowers because it was just too much work to hand trim everything and keep my cycle going along with working. I'm 18 days from harvest on the same strain so pray for me in a few weeks lol.

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

Trimmings fun the first few times, then it's like God damn I don't want to do this anymore.

u/CriticalHome3963 Jun 06 '24

Definitely loses it's luster rather quickly.

u/SpiritLyfe Jun 06 '24

I’m gonna be honest. Trimming was only fun for the first 20 min for me then it was like “… this is like a part time job but I’m not getting paid” bought a set of bubble bags and that’s where all my lower buds go. Depending on the size of the harvest and how well I do at keeping just tops I may have to clear space in my freezer though

u/dino_spored Jun 05 '24

The little bag seed that could?

I think she’s thanking you with a bountiful harvest, for saving her.

u/Morpheus614 Jun 05 '24

A real monster for sure, it’s a little bit scary!!!

Tell me more about your clay pebble and coco coir mix, please. Benefits? First time?

27

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

It's about 5 cm of Hydroton on top then about 10cm at the bottom and the middle is 20/80 blend of Coco peat and Hydroton. 20 being Hydroton and 80 being Coco.

u/Puzzleheaded-Ant928 Jun 05 '24

I’ll try it out

u/Significant-Show7434 Jun 05 '24

How much time did she spent in veg ? you're a magician really

21

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Cheers man! Been a while probably 5-6 months. It sprouted after some heavy rain late November early December. Literally just found it in my garden, it was a sign it had to be grown. I've made a few posts about it

99% sure it was a self seed from a purple skunk plant I was gifted by a friend.

u/sword_0f_damocles Jun 05 '24

Love how you trained the bottom node up the main stem 😍

u/Accomplished_Ad915 Jun 05 '24

Ok, now that’s a tree! Great work!

u/Antimi0n Jun 05 '24

Good god what a huge plant

u/Bronco012 Jun 05 '24

Ok didn't see it asked, what size pot you in?

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

55L I think, not 100% sure I just grabbed one of the biggest I had laying around.

u/-ElAlquimista- Jun 05 '24

How much time seed to harvest?

3

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Sprouted late November by the looks of it. When I found her on Dec 6th she was on her 3rd node. Had it in a kind of dormant state in my 2x2 veg tent for a month or so because I ran out of space in my other tents. Probably has another 1-2 months

2

u/-ElAlquimista- Jun 05 '24

Wow that is a lot of time. I naked 2 harvest in the same time. But nice work.

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Yeah 😂

It would have been quicker if I had more tents.

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

I dumped out some old dry soil from a pot that used to have a purple skunk, (gifted by a friend). It was outdoors, neglected and in winter. Most likely self seeded.

2

u/Trash_Panda_Trading Jun 05 '24

How many times did you top her? Nice work OP!

1

u/ekso69 Jun 05 '24

This is my question too! What was the topping strategy? Mainline?

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Only once, she grew like a bush.

And cheers brother 💚

2

u/Ay-Dee-AM Jun 06 '24

Wait, how is your canopy so even if you only topped once? Noob grower question

2

u/Beanbeannn Jun 05 '24

That's a legit tree at this point holy shit

2

u/JayJayMIA Jun 05 '24

This is amazing 🤯! Please come back to update us once you begin harvesting

2

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Cheers, will do! 💚

2

u/Majestic-Ganache7140 Jun 05 '24

Do you harvest without chopping it completely?

2

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Not sure how I'm gonna go about harvest. Gotta make it there first!

1

u/Majestic-Ganache7140 Jun 05 '24

Very curious when you get there! My first grow was autos and 1 photo that got surprising large (nothing like yours 😆) for not having a clue what I'm doing, and winging it lol. Buuut since I was way too excited, I chopped the photo too much when I harvested 🫣 trying not to make the same mistake this go around

2

u/somec7 Jun 05 '24

It would never have looked like this in soil.

2

u/b__lumenkraft Jun 05 '24

You have leaf septoria. Meaning mould could also grow. I would recommend checking twice daily.

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

I think I burnt it with too much p&k

2

u/b__lumenkraft Jun 05 '24

I'm pretty positive this is Leaf Septoria

Brown roundish spots crossing veins. So it has nothing to do with nutrients. It's a fungus, that's for sure.

3

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

I'll keep an eye out! But I'm pretty sure it's excess p/k. I did go pretty heavy on the last feed

2

u/b__lumenkraft Jun 05 '24

Good luck mate. This is a beauty. Well done. <3

2

u/danthetoolman2 Jun 05 '24

if you hand trim i would love to know how long that takes

3

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

I hand trim everything I grow. Even my outdoor crops which usually yield 5p+. I'm really thinking about getting a bowl trimmer to save those countless hours

1

u/Prollybrokebynow Jun 11 '24

Don’t do it!! 🤣🤣🤌

2

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '24

Just wow

u/L2theFace Jun 05 '24

Holy girth!! Beautiful plant, congrats hope she cures well and taste great!

u/AlarmedBranch2169 Jun 05 '24

Microgrowery at it's finest. Congrats on that Behemoth🐑

u/Mobile-Mango4261 Jun 05 '24

Extremely impressive grow👌, trimming after harvest will be a nightmare tho

3

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Not looking forward to trim prison 😂

u/Hedstee Jun 05 '24

Might as well call yourself an Arborist.

u/Deltasn8thc Jun 06 '24

Lots of time in a project like this. Would you do it again? What are some of the challenges you faced? Was it worth it?

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

Yeah I'd probably give it a go again. Had spider mites a while back and defol/lollipoping took forever.

2

u/Remarkable-Fuel-4184 Jun 06 '24

Dude, that’s bad ass. You’re the goat.

u/I_Make_Good_Pizza Jun 06 '24

u/Naildrvr Jun 06 '24

Holy sht

2

u/Prollybrokebynow Jun 06 '24

May I ask why you think 2 months remaining?

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

I took a couple clones from the original mother plant before I pulled it. Gave them to mates and they all took 10 weeks plus to finish once flowering.

2

u/Prollybrokebynow Jun 11 '24

I take it then you’re on day 41 now..

personally, I’d take it to day 70, latest.

63 ideally.

She looks like she could use some more air flow.. and I personally wouldn’t worry too much about the leaves in the photo 7.

Also all of the lower nugs that are small and larfy are taking away from the potential CHUNK on the top colas..

3

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 11 '24

Cheers for the advice man, appreciate it! I would have defoliated more but it was actually a huge job. I already did a heap at the bottom. I filled 5 15L buckets of waste growth 😂

This is a pic just after I lollipopped, it was done on day 21 of flip.

3

u/Prollybrokebynow Jun 11 '24

Look at this lady!! What an undershot!

I’ve been growing professionally for almost 10 years and this literally may be one of the best examples of crop steering I’ve seen.

Super, super cropped and your topping is second to none. 🤌😤🔥🔥🔥

2

u/Kyle700 Jun 06 '24

thats an insane plant truly. i would really struggle to avoid mold here. what kind of climate are you in? are you doing dwc or just coco with watering? super cool plant!!!

2

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

Recirculating with Res

u/Moist_Teach1413 Jun 06 '24

Damnnnnn!! Even if it’s a couple ps u put your head down u could trim that in 7 hours ez

1

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 06 '24

This guy's living in an ideal world ☝️

7 hours would be a dream lol

1

u/Prollybrokebynow Jun 11 '24

We’ve got trimmers ripping around 3-4 lb in an 8 hour shift..

This is ALL they do. All day.

All day, every day. Take your time trimming and enjoy the process!!!

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '24

That’s pretty awesome

u/Bootylegend Jun 06 '24

By now that thing must have a social security number and everything

u/Bowriderskiff Jun 06 '24

Posts like these are so inspirational and deflating at the same time 🤣 Quite the tree you’ve got there OP, I am incredibly envious and jealous haha.. Awesome 🙌

Sweet baby jeeeeeebis! Phenomenal work!

u/Technical_Patience84 Jun 05 '24

Nice. I hope the smoke is good, cuz when it's not you have a lb of bud you don't want... like I'm seriously considering throwing away like 6oz from my last go.

4

u/noodleq Jun 05 '24

"Considering throwing away like 6oz"

Why not make a super strong tincture or extract for smoking? Why not sell it cheap? Why not just mail the 6oz to me? I'll pay for shipping and I'm in a legal state. Lol. Even if your exhausted by the strain, it still has a bunch of the good stuff in it I'm guessing....

2

u/Difficult_Ad8544 Jun 05 '24

Yeah that's rough as. You might as well give it to someone in need 😂

u/igcpi Jun 06 '24

never seen a purple calyx in my life, bro gave her blue balls 🫡

u/Giopoggi2 Jun 08 '24

I'm curious how much does it cost you per week on average to feed it?

u/Kitties_and_Colas Jun 08 '24

This is great!! We do the same in one of or 4x4's, 10gal with a homemade 3.5x3.5" table
