Greens can't quit the outdoor madness...

[Greens]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I am here and will continue my outdoor grows and breeding plans.:cool: It's just way too fun to stop growing in the great outdoors, even with all of the challenges growing in a short season like we have in southern Manitoba.

I have quite a collection of new strains to try out this year. Of course, my Guerilla Gold will be my staple crop because I never have to worry about them finishing before the frost comes. I also have some new GG crosses that should be kicking some ass outdoors.

Here's a few pics of the Guerilla Gold's from last season to get things going over here...


***Check out my new pics from this year on page 3!!!***

***Updated pics from August 8th on page 4***

***Update from August 22nd on page 5***

***NEW update from September 7th on page 6 and some dried buds too***

[LadyTokin]

:drool: beautiful pics. So glad to see you here and glad you are going to


Keep on keepin' on :)

[haxixe]

That GG looks mighty tasty...when did it finish?

Some people have questioned the potency of GG, but I'd reckon those nugs have a kick.

[Greens]

Hey Lady Tokin and Haxixe,

Those are GG#2 and they were harvested August 29th. I'm confused, who questioned the potency of GG? Everyone who tried it loved it and I got great reviews from the people I gave seeds to last year. It's killer herb, no doubt...

Greens

[Genghis Bong]

august 29th no less!!

hella frosty

kudos

[BravoC.D.]

how doo Greens. tell me is that a smelly plant or is it low ordor? what's the ratio of the high while u at it if u dont mind my good man. another question would be if this strain resistant to pests, heat, and humidity??? thanks for the info, bravo

[Greens]

Hey Ghenghis Bong!

Bravo, the GGs have a medium odor level and they smell like sweet spice/seasoning, often with fruity undertones. The potency is very high and it delivers a very enjoyable, balanced high. It is a nice balance between heavy relaxation, euphoria and trippiness. The high has a bit of a creeper effect and lasts a very long time. It also stimulates the appetite and relieves pain quite effectively.

The GG is a very strong plant and can survive some very rough environments. It has shown resistance to mites, powdery mildew, and mold. It is quite resistant to insects. However, you have to watch for plant-eating animals such as deer and rabbits because they have shown to really like the smell and taste of the GG, especially in the first few weeks as small plants. The Guerilla Gold performs well in a humid environment without any bud rot (such as a swamp). It really thrives in hot, sunny conditions.

Later,

Greens

[Greens]

Cool. It looks like the site is up and running again.

Well, very soon I'll be starting up some seedlings and cutting clones to go outdoors. It's going to be mostly Guerilla Gold and GG crosses like GG#2 x Lemon Swiss, GG#2 x Your Mom, and GG#3 x Triple Afghan Slam (from ddt). Also, I'm going to put a bunch of clones from Jaysprout's freezeland backcross and a some seedlings of his Freezeland x AK99. Plus, I'm growing out some timewarp x new autoflower strain from c-ray. I have a few other strains I'm going to try out too from Esben and I'll also try the Babies Breath (I actually can't remember where that came from now. lol).

Well, I can't wait...

Greens

[The Cannarchist]

I'm told that we are doing your GG this year......Can't wait to see what you have done!

I found another cut of the EG mother.......and a new timewarp clone that has not degenerated as much as the twister/3-leaf mother.....woot!

[Greens]

Hey Cannarchist, yes, I traded some of my GGs to c-ray in exchange for some timewarp x new autoflower strain. He also hooked me up with some headstash seeds for inside too (thanks cray that was very cool).

You guys will love the GG because it is so early, yet still turns out to be killer herb. The sweet seasoning smell and taste kicks ass, and you can make full melt from just the dry kif! I'd say take some of the GG#2 pollen and hit it up on the EG and Timewarp Mom (along with some GG moms too). Man, that would make some nice offspring.

Greens

[Slarty]

Hey greens, the GG looks great!

Finishing at the end of August is just the ticket in my area because of the short growing season. (53N - 55N)

When are you starting them outside? I have to wait until May 24th - June 1 to put them out.

I'm using EG crosses from visioncreator this year. I've grown his pure EG with good results and I'm chomping at the bit to see what vc's EG crosses can do.:farm:

[Greens]

Hey Slarty,

I am going to start them inside before May 7th and then take them out at about 3 inces tall around the same time as you depending on the weather (3rd to 4th week of May).

VC's EG crosses will kick ass for you. I'm sure you will enjoy them...

Greens

[The Cannarchist]

well,between the three of us,we should find something good this year.

So few outdoor breeders ,which is not surprising considering the time scales involved!

I'm still hunting for a full Sativa plant that will finish in time up here.The Early Bramble F4 onto the Congolese looks promising ,but that's another 4 yr experiment.......

Good luck guys!

V

[c-ray]

you'll have to try some swamp heroin, a local hillbilly sativa ibl

[Greens]

Well, I'm quite sure we will ALL find something good this year. LOL.
I know I didn't give very many, but those GG#2 seeds I sent to c-ray are very, very good for breeding for earliness and potency combined. You guys should be able to find an awesome male in there to hit up some nice GG#2 females, plus some GG females from the GG mix and whatever else you have out there like the timewarp, pineberry and EG. Try to use the early autoflower sweet spice smelling male with a large cluster at the top if you can (It might also have trichs as well). For a sativa, I want to get some Durban Poison and cross with a sativa dominant GG. I think that's as close as I could get to a sativa in the prairies. However, for now the GG x Lemon Swiss will be heavily influence by the sativa...

C-ray, man I wouldn't have thought a sativa would be like heroin, but you never know... To me, sats have always felt closer to a mild mix of acid and speed (although I've never even tried any amphetamines or even MDMA because that isn't cool. lol). Swamp heroin. lol. Actually, you will find the GG budder, FMCD bubble, or GG kif will leave you feeling quite opiated (but your heart and mind are racing at the same time. It's quite an "experience". lol.) Another cool thing is you can get dry kif that liquifies from Guerilla Gold.

Well, have fun out there. I know I will...

Greens

[The Cannarchist]

How about GG#2 x Swamp Heroin........Just putting the SH into the germinator.

"Golden Triangle" seems an apt name for that cross.....hehe

[vapor]

personaly this year is gonna be all about the swamp heroin!!!!

[Hillbilly]

Hey guys, don't forget about me! I'll be trying all those genetics too... SalmonBerry, Early Bramble, EGxMMSS, Super Gold, EGxMM, all from the trustworthy Cannarchist. And one of my own Wizards Treat (Dutch Treat x White Wizzard) I'm pretty sure the White Wizard is Timewarp x White Grizzly. The Wizards Treat and SalmonBerry should be done by mid-Sept and hopefully I'll have all the others in by last week in August. I'm a little concerned I might be using to much soil for the AutoFlowers, not enough root restriction, but I guess we'll see...
Good luck to you all!!!!
Greens can't wait to see your 2006 pics, I've seen them all like 5 times, right back to 2003. I'm your biggest fan man!!! LOL!

[bluemanchu]

I was gifted some swamp heroin on the weekend and I'm germing them today...can one of you guys give me the skinny?

bm

[The Cannarchist]

Sativa high ,Harvest End Sept for us Bluemanchu.It will not be rock hard ,but has a killer high.No point leaving it later I'm told.

[Greens]

Cannarchist, GG2 x Swamp Heroin sounds like a great cross! Do it, come on!

No kidding, vapor. It sounds like many growers will be trying the SH this year. Unfortunately, I don't have any... lol.

Hillbilly, wow, it sounds like you received a nice collection from Cannarchist. Those should really kick some ass outdoors. I know that my Guerilla Golds do not need any root restriction for very early budding, but that is indeed the case with the pure EG and possibly some of its crosses. As for my grow, well this year should be the most interesting year of all...

bluemanchu, thanks for stopping by bro. Hopefully those beans work out for you..

I'm also excited to try out some new crosses from my buddy Jaysprout in Quebec (his handle was "dogfart" on OG. LOL). Anyway, he just informed me that he made some new outdoor strains that should kick ass. He pollinated his killer piney freezeland and a nice Durban Poison with Breederbrad's autoflower Mighty Mite. This is the real deal super early mighty mite that seems to be quite rare these days in seed form. I grew these MMs twice and they finished mid August both times. Anyway, I'm excited to try out the MM x Freezeland, the MM x Durban Poison, and also some pure MMs because he made more.

Greens

[Alaska]

Hiya Greens, I got some of your GG#2 from cbay in brighter days. Are all the females gonna autoflower, of just a good % of them. Also, do you know if the male of female's autoflower better, and would it be a safe assumpion that they don't reveg or allow keeping of a mother, correct?

Thanks in advance

A

[Hillbilly]

Your right Greens I do have an awesome outdoor collection going. I have some early bramble so from what your saying those wont need the root restriction, it's the EGxMMSS I'm worried about.
By the way Cannarchist your Super Gold's have awesome viguor man! I think those are going to be killer from what I see so far. You mentionned they might be done a week before the EGxMMSS right??
Another couple weeks guys, whoo hoo!!!

[Bram]

I have a feeling that we will see ALOT of Swamp Heroin crosses next year.

[The Cannarchist]

In the words of the Star Trek Borg.....

"They will be assimilated......"

[outdoordreams]

Couldnt be happier to see you all working together.

[c-ray]

we have to do something to keep ourselves entertained :hula:

[Greens]

Yes, indeed it's awesome that we are all working on making killer early outdoor strains! There has been a real explosion in new early strains in the past few years and I think that's going to just keep on getting bigger with all these guys working with great early potent genetics.

Alaska, pretty much all the GG#2s will autoflower under 18/6 and most will still autobud eventually under 24 hrs of light as well. As for keeping a mother, well, it's pretty hard to keep a mother for longer than about 8 weeks in veg. When I want to cut clones, I start a few seeds in DWC bubblers and they will show sex in a few weeks. Then, I cut the clones at the 6-8 week mark before they start to autoflower. After 8 weeks, the clones might already be budding, so I try to cut them all before that. Sometimes however, I find that a mother will stay in veg longer after cutting clones.

A few tips for growing GG outside for bud:

-Do not top because that affects the autoflowering and yield.
-Protect well from plant-eating animals like rabbits and deer because they love the smell/taste of Guerilla Gold.
-Plant in full sun for highest quality buds.
-Planting close together in outdoor SOG type grow is an option if soil/real estate is limited because of the dominant cola on this strain and the relatively short height.
-Give them a shot of liquid organic bloom fertilizer such as Earth Juice as soon as you see the buds starting early in July and again a few weeks later if you can.
-GG loves worm castings, tropical bat guano (high P), coco coir, top soil, a little dolomite lime, and lots of water.
-The more warm, sunny days you have, the earlier you can harvest GG...

OK, I'm sure I have more tips, so I'll be back with those. Don't forget to protect them from animals!

Later,

Greens

[Hillbilly]

Awesome Greens, I take all your advice to heart... I'll be using all that information for my Early Bramble.

I found some awesome high P bat guano at our local nursery, get this, 1-28-1
Now that should fatten those buds up :)

[dpn]

Greens that GG bud on your first post is impressive I would like to grow buds like that, are your seeds available at the mo? Do you have any early potent non-autoflowering genetics?

[Alaska]

Thanks for clearing that up Greens. That is about what I thought, but you know that old saying about hearing something from the horses mouth

[Greens]

Hello everyone,

I have some pretty cool news...
I found some Guerilla Gold plants growing wild at the spots where I made some seeds last year. I found them at the GG#1 and GG#2 breeding spots. I went to that swamp to go break up the soil and bring in some more organic soil. I think I ended up turning a bunch of plants under the soil because I didn't notice the weed plants until I was close to done turning the soil when I saw a pretty big GG#2 growing. Then, I turned around and saw that I had actually weeded out some GG#1 seedlings without even noticing. I replanted those and left the plants that were left in the soil. These little plants survived at least one frost and they will likely end up being my earliest GGs to harvest.

dpn, most of my stuff is of the autoflowering variety, but the GG crosses are just early and most of will not totally autoflower. I don't think I'm supposed to be talking about where beans are in the open, so just send me a pm.

No probs hillibilly and Alaska.

Greens

[c-ray]

cool :tup:

[Hillbilly]

Greens that's crazy man!!! The ones that thrive are going to be the best plants for your environment without a doubt!
My EB have been growing since April 18th so I'm thinking they will be super early also. They are all about 7-11 inches and going out this weekend...
Now if only I could get rid of all the males before they go out... As of last Tuesday non of the EB were showing pre-flowers.
Good luck getting them out there man! :)

[Bram]

maybe we could turn the GG feral in NOrth Merica. I magine going and walking thu the bush and actually finding weed you can smoke that someone else didnt plant there.

[outdoordreams]

Bram Ive been wanting to do the johny appleseed thing for a long time.......so have others ive talked to..........Ive been waiting for a quality seed to do it with......maybe Ill make some F2 next year and plant a million wild babies across alberta, and saskatchewan.......Ill not do it in bc as I know alot of people would get mad if I seeded there sensi crops........
Greens, two thumbs up on the wild germinations.......

[Carpet Muncher]

Greens.. those are beautiful plants.. i remember drooling at them @ oldCW, and i can't imagine them being anything but potent biotches.. that autoflower thing kills me!

any other indoor guys with spinning wheels?? (there MUST be a way! lol)

[Bram]

OD, I dont give a fuck about the commercial growers in BC. I would turn it loose here too. You would have been laughing (I hope0 to hear of my one buddys idea of a joke, which was to take a crop duster and dump male pollen over ALL of TEXADA. Just one big yellow cloud:evil: :evil: :evil:

[HellBoy]

..much respect, Greens! :tup:

Fabulous looking outdoor shots! It looks like a max stealth location (from that angle anyway) ... not like the backyard grows in CA.. makes it 10x more difficult to get those kinds of results.

Weather and critters are two key advisaries...both are BAD for me now!! Mind droppin a hint of the general area this in in... just for interest sake??

Yeah, I thought it was very cool that there are wild GGs growing out there.

Bram, yes, I've had the same kind of ideas going through my head. It would be awesome if I could get it growing wild somewhere year after year. Then once in while I could go harvest some females for seed and make a pile of bubblehash out of them. lol. I'm thinking a creek bed or edge of a swamp is my best bet to get them going.

Thanks for popping by outdoordreams, carpet muncher, joe king park, hillbilly, and of course cray.

Thanks Hellboy! Yes, this is a guerilla grow in the wild. My grows are in secluded swamps in southern Manitoba.

Later,

[Bram]

We will have to see if they will do it out here too. I had the idea to let some seed and just harvest the top buds for personal seed, leaving the rest to be dispersed by mother nature in the surrounding area. Be interestin' to see the results.

[HellBoy]

THE BEST backcross I have is from a natural seeding! I let some G13xNL#1 (both originals) hybrids seed up a couple yrs back...by accident... I went to check up on the plants and in less than a week there big males not only SHOWED but went ahead and popped flowers!! :eek:

The lone female was WELL jizzed-up!

When I went back to the spot for a planting the next spring, I already had seven volunteers up from some early finishing beans that had obviously fallen off mom!!

They were all identical... no phenos at all! I culled a couple of runts (bad light) and a couple of boys and was left w/ 2 nice females...which I took a total of 20 z's of EVEN BETTER smoke that the original cross!! Stonier and tastier for SURE, and was already innured to the climate in that area... they did VERY well!!

PS: .. note the MASSIVE roots... most of the "webs" were pulled off the main stems when I pulled it up for the shot...

ROOTS, ROOTS, ROOTS!!! .. any questions! :D

Hey bram we could send a cloud of GG dust over the islands and charge them for growing greens genetics the way monsanto forces all the farmers to give up there last 4cents.......Just a joke.......I hate copyrights..........

Would be interesting to see the cloud fall while farmers run to plants explaining the advantages of abstinance.......hahahahahahahahahah

I too have alot of volunteers this year. I found 20+ growing in the compost pile and transplanted half of them. Most made the transition. I then found 10 or so in one of my patches from last year. I have had volunteers before, but all of them were crowded out by grasses & small bush and didn't receive enough light to grow well.

Hey guys!
Havn't been on here for a while. Been busy ;) Well everything is outside and looking good. The darn rabbits are really trying hard to eat all my Early Brambles. Every bag is fenced in with netting and they still jump in it trying to get to the plants. What a pain in the but. I've lost about 20% already so there's not much room left for losing anymore. Most have been sexed but not all.
Good to see most of you guys are set up.

Hello,

OK, I finally went to check out the swamp crops and things are off to a very good start this year. Some of the males I took down were 6 feet tall and exploding into flowering. I couldn't believe how well developed some of the plants were.

I see you got the breeding bug bad there Greens.

I'll be tapping your shoulder for bits of everything at the end of the season,Two thumbs up!

[HellBoy]

good lookin outies greens! :tup:

[Bram]

Greens, you are in for a treat with the Timewarp x Auto indica. I smoke d a early sample of some of the super auto flower and it is very nice, real nice fruity smell with a distinct sweet green apple smell to it.

[Greens]

Lucke, thanks man. The early timewarp crosses should be done any day now, but they are quite small. It looks like the larger ones will be done end of August.

The Cannarchist, indeed, I have many GG crosses planned for this year. I kept a killer looking GG#2 male that's super early and has a massive cluster of resinous male flowers at the top (with that great sweet seasoning smell too). For sure, I'd be glad to give you the new crosses.

Hellboy, thanks man! Make sure to keep checking in as the plants get more "interesting". lol.

Bram, yes, I like how this strain looks so far. Those super early ones do look very good, although they are quite small. I will be sampling some in about a week and green apple sounds good to me. How was the high/potency? The ones that just started to flower are much larger of course, so I'm hoping they get a decent yield.

I have a quick update on those four "wild" GGs of mine. 3 of them ended up being huge males that were flowering very early. To my surprise, the female GG was totally finished and ready for harvest. I already got to vape some and it has a strong creeper high that builds to an ecstatic euphoria after about 20 minutes. I'm quite happy with it, that's for sure...

Greens

[Bram]

I found the high/potency to be good for what it was. I picked the sample doob about a week or so premie, and it still gave 4 people a nice buzz from a BIG fat joint. Its a nice uppity high like the timewarp with abit more body to it, but the body does not impede you. I got one gurl with fluorescent pink hairs.

[HellBoy]

Hey greens...

..not fer nuttin.. but what are you feedin??

Actually, they look a bit Nitrogen hungry to me...and maybe a bit dry... did you top dress w/ good composted humus (then I put cedar mulch on top... snails HATE cedar and won't crawl across it to get to your plant...)

..t'd mix a lil bloodmeal into the topsoil so it won't wash away ...just scratch it in; then throw down the humus or general compost bout 2 or 3 inches out to the drip line... then mulch it over.

The blood meal will be a good, gentle yet RICH nitrogen source and it's VERY hard to over do it w/ organics... just read the bag and do that...

That does NOT replace the flowering nutes... apply as usual, but the N. boost will help a lot...especially early on like it is now!!! :tup:

:joint3:

Try it on one anyway just for a test... you might be REAL surprised! ;)

HB

[Greens]

Bram,
That's great news. I can't wait to give it a try...

Hey hellboy, I mix in a pound of worm castings, a pound of tropical bat guano, and a good amount of top soil in each container. Normally, during flowering I also give them a shot of earth juice catalyst and ej bloom whenever I can. You are right that some of them seem to be a little low on the nitrogen, but that is mostly due to the lighting in the pictures. I think I'll just give them a shot of earth juice grow along with the other kinds when I go. They are definetely not low on water because the bottoms are cut out and they are right in the swamp. Even the top inches still have good moisture. I think you maybe said that because of that one pic of the clones in the wind.

Yeah, I like to use the bat guanos and worm castings rather than blood and bone meal because I don't want to attract raccoons or bears. Thank you very much for the advice, however, because I know that stuff is great for the plants.

OK, keep an eye out for when these plants are fully budding because it's going to be some crazy herb.

Later,

Greens

[HellBoy]

..actually, I think the guanos perform a lil better than bone and blood meal... but I can buy 50 pounds of either for the price of ONE pound of Guanno....

... and really the difference could be argued at that! :D

I didn't realize they were in containers... I'm not a master botanist, but I DO PAY ATTENTION when I am around one...

My "tree and veggy garden" Nursury is owned and operated by an old man that has been doing NOTHING but raising veggies and trees in Texas for 50 years.... he KNOWS his shit.. COLD!!!

I don't know exactly the reasoning... I think it has to do with keeping the roots from getting TOO HOT in the sun with only a container and a bit of "wall" dirt protecting them.... anyway, when he containerizes his trees for the "sales" season and sets them up in display rows... he ALWAYS BANKS MULCH up over the rows until you cannot see the container at ALL.... they look like they are growing out of a mulch row :eek:

When you buy one.. he just tilts over the tree, the container pops free of the mulch (note it is a DAMP and COOL container... NOT a HOT and DRY container) and into your pickup it goes... :cool:

I asked him once why he banked them up like that... and he turned and stared at me like I was from the moon or something.. and said "So they won't BURN UP, son!" ... he just laughed then and got back to work...
-----------------

Take that for what it's worth... that's all he ever does for me too.. just lays it out there and I can listen or laugh.. makes him no diff whatsoever! :D

[Greens]

Yeah, that is a very good idea to cover up the sides of the containers. It will keep the roots cooler and is also good for camo purposes. I just have so many of these that I literally did not have the time to do that. In the swamp, it's not totally necessary because the wet ground keeps the container a little cooler and also there is a lot of grasses/bullrushes that grow right up beside the containers.

Although I have grown this exact same way very succesfully several times in the past, I'm always open to suggestions. So, thank you very much...

OK later,

I've often thought about some sort of supplimental watering set-up; but my areas a subject to "walk-thrus" and must be stealthy to the max... I don't think a watering system that is REASONABLE to make is doable where I grow.. :(

Thank you guys very much!

Be sure to check out the new pics in the near future. I went and gave them all a shot of earth juice and things are looking really nice. Almost everything is budding already and some of the auto timewarps and auto select GGs are almost done. lol. The GG crosses have really taken off.

Greens

[outdoordreams]

This is probably my favorite thread out of all the sites I visit......
Keep up the good work, Greens..........
I think spending the time to cover the pots will pay off in the end as the cooler the root system the healthier the plant.......but you seem to have every thing under control........here in the okanagan you have to cover your pots or they will need water twice a day......

[Greens]

Thanks outdoordreams!

I did end up covering the sides of the containers that weren't being shaded by the bullrushes. This is one of those years in southern Manitoba that is beyond hot and dry (actually humidity a little high, but practically no rain in a month). In the past month, it's been 30 celcius or higher almost every day and some days way in the upper 30s. It feels like I'm in Penticton here and maybe even hotter (I use to go there every summer for quite a while). Around here, we get summers like this every 2 or 3 years.

Anyway, yeah, if these were just regular 5 gallon pots sitting on the deck, I'd have to water them twice a day as well. However, the bottoms are cut out of these 20 gallon containers and they are jammed down several inches into the wet swamp, which helps keep everything much cooler and moist. I don't even have to water these, but I gave them a little last time to make sure those roots have plenty of strength to shoot tap roots right down into the swamp.

OK, keep an eye out for this thread because things are looking very good. I harvested a few small auto timewarps and they smell so good. I can't wait to try it out. I'll also be harvesting some autoflower select Guerilla Golds in a week or two that have more size to them.

Greens

[HellBoy]

hey greens... it's not so much the water content of the soil as it is the TEMP... if the water heats up.. it just makes it worse because then you are just STEAMING your plant... COVER those exposed sides and watch em JUMP... guarateed!

HB

[Greens]

Yeah, it was a little bit of an ordeal, but I'm hoping it helps. I know for sure that having the bottom cut out and jammed into the swamp helps out tons on its own though. I mean, these plants were looking very, very good a couple days ago. I've been giving them earth juice and the colas are beginning to form very nicely. There is some intense trichs on some of those early GGs.

OK, thanks again everyone for the compliments and suggestions!

There is much more madness to come...

Greens

[Agent-Smith]

looking forward to more madness. :teeth:

[hiddengrow]

Hi everybody,
i just want to show one of my Guerilla gold from Greens.

She's a bit special, with 3 blade leafs and lots of side branching;
not the usual GG...
She's also a clone, from a mother i kept all winter under 24/7.
(I still have this mother in full veg!)

Hiddengrow.

[Greens]

Nice hiddengrow! She looks like a nice size and budding appears to have just started on her. That's cool you kept one vegging so long and the clone still is budding early. Great job, man!

Bram, I took down a couple of the small auto timewarps several days ago and now I just vaped some in the Vrip. It had a sour fruit smell and tasted pretty nice in the vape. It's pretty strong with a creeper type high kind of like the guerilla gold. I wonder how long this high will last? I know with GG one of the best things is that the high just lasts so long. Yes, you were right about this stuff; I like it. Thanks c-ray!

Now I can't wait to try the earliest GGs in a few weeks...

Greens

[Bram]

yes, its quite nice stuff. I got another girl with a few grams on her tht will be ready in another 10 days - 2 weeks. The rest will be later, but earlier then everyones elses in my neck of the woods :D :D :D

[Greens]

Well, those GG autoflower select are really looking amazing. It might be some of the best looking outdoor buds I've grown to date. The buds are so dense and absolutely covered in HUGE trichomes. Two are ready to harvest now and the rest of the GG autos come down in less than a week. I didn't bring my digi cam last time, but I will for sure the next time before taking down those GG autos. They are just looking so amazing that I have to show them off. I can't believe how early they are too! They smell like sweet seasoning with sour hashy and fruity undertones. Most of them are a decent size as well, which is great...

Everything else looks great as well. The GG2 x Lemon Swiss are all well into budding with great smells and trichs going on. In a few weeks these will be amazing. Same goes for GG2 x Your Mom. The GG#1, GG#2, and GG#3 are looking great as usual with some very good size on some of them. Of course, they are all well into budding. Some of the GG#4s didn't seem to have much vigor at all, but they are pulling through and I remember last year some of these were mad potent when they finished.

The GG#2 x (EG x mighty mite) are also kicking ass with a good size, plenty of vigour, early budding and great trichomes already. DDT's GG#3 x TAS plants look very good. They are my tallest plants and two of them are close to 7 feet tall. They aren't fully budding yet, but they are all sexed with lots of preflowers. Jaysprout's Freezeland bx clones are looking and smelling amazing. They aren't very big; they are 2 foot spikes that are well into flowering. Some are bigger though. The trichome coverage and sweet acidic piney smell is blowing my mind. The smell is so attractive. Jay's AK99xFreezeland are very nice plants and they are bushing out nicely now. They are all showing lots of preflowers, but haven't started to bud yet. I remember last year that budding started almost mid august. Also, the pure Your Mom clones haven't started to bud yet, but they are showing tons of preflowers. They only take 6 weeks to finish up, so they still have enough time. C-ray's auto timewarps are looking really nice. The very ealry ones were quite small, but I ended up with a decent amount of larger phenos. I'm guessing those ones will still be done early around the end of August or first week of September. They have amazing sour fruity smells.

OK, I'll be back with MORE PICS in the very near future. Thanks to Jaysprout, C-ray, and DDT for the outdoor beans! It's great to have a good amount of variety. I'm going to be beyond baked this late summer and fall with all this variety !

Greens

[Greens]

Alright, it's time for an update...



Things are looking very nice at the swamps with lots of nice bud formations. It's been a crazy hot and dry summer, but everything is still looking pretty nice.

I'll start with the GG autoflower select. Well, I had a bit of a problem with animals at that spot. I harvested the first two late in July and then I was going to harvest 2 more yesterday. However, a deer or some sort of large rodent ate most of the buds from those plants. It's not a big deal, but it sucks to lose such amazing looking buds. Damn, that stuff is super potent as well. It is some of the heaviest herb I've toked in a long time; it has an extreme body stone and an intoxicating effect that just lasts so long. I'm beyond pleased with the potency and high from this herb. The harvest time from late July to mid August is absolutely great and this stuff DESTROYS mighty mite (and I really like MM). Anyway, here's some pics of the last GG autoflower select that I'll be harvesting next week. It lost a few buds to the animal, but it's looking quite out of control.

[Greens]

OK, here are some Guerilla Gold#2 plants coming along quite nicely...

[Greens]

Alright, 1st is some Guerilla Gold #3 plants budding up.

2nd is some GG#1 plants budding up into some mad herbs.

3rd is special sativa line of GG I made. Last year, I had a special GG#1 that had quite a sativa appearance to it and had a nice thai-like uplifting high. Another great thing about it is it tastes and smells like jam donuts. Anyway, I seeded a few nugs on it last year and hear are the offspring looking much like their mother. The one on the right has been budding for about two weeks and the one on the left just started and she's very, very tall.

4th isn't the greatest shot, but I wanted to show some GG#4...

[Greens]

Alright, now check out some auto timewarp by c-ray. I already harvested the early phenos. You can see two later phenos and one earlier here. The later ones are about two weeks into budding, so I'll be harvesting them sometime in September...

[Greens]

OK, 1st is my pride and joy of the garden: The Guerilla Gold#2 x Lemon Swiss. These are fantastic looking plants and they are exploding into budding. They already have mad resin and crazy smells...

2nd is another cross I'm quite proud of, which is GG#2 x Your Mom.

OK, 3rd is GG#3 x Triple Afghan Slam made by DDT. I looks like budding may have just started. These are some tall ones...

4th are these AK99xFreeze ladies from Jaysprout. These bitches are going to be dank as F@#* if out Manitoba fall allows them to finish. From what I remember last year, these will begin budding any day now...

Last is these Guerilla Gold x (Early Gold x Mighty Mite) plants. I made these seeds last year when I pollinated a spectacular looking specimen of Breederbrad's EGxMM with my GG#2 male. These are extremely early and they have very dense trichome coverage. Who knows why I didn't get a resin shot, sorry. Anyway, here they are...

[Agent-Smith]

Looking great greens! :drool:

[hiddengrow]

Verry nice Greens!
i'm curious, do you see a big difference between you're

GREAT SHOW GREENS. I'm gonna let my pack all open pollenate inside, and have enough seeds for a field of GG#2 :).

Greens, when it was released on cbay last, was generation was it, f1, f2, ??.

Thanks

Alaska

[Greens]

Agent Smith, thank you very much!

Hiddengrow, hey man. The clones seem very similar to the GGs from seed. The only difference that I noticed is that the clones tend to be slightly smaller, but not much at all. The harvest time is about the same and I didn't notice any difference in quality. Actually, I already harvested some GG#2 clones and they are very nice.

Outdoordreams, indeed I'm gonna get blasted from this outdoor herb, but the thing is I don't have to wait until fall. I've been vaping the outdoor for quite some time now and it's very strong stuff. I found those GG autos to be very heavy.

Albi, thank you! Yes, at 58 N Guerilla Gold would be some good stuff for you so you can get some finished buds before the frost.

Alaska, that sounds like a great idea. Perhaps you could cull any males that show up late, but that's up to you of course. Those beans are F5s, so you'll be making F6s. Good luck man!

It won't be long for more pics. I think I might get some dried bud shots if I have the time.

OK later,

Greens

[Greens]

Alright, here are some dried and partially cured nugs from the great outdoors.

The first two pics are of Guerilla Gold autoflower select. This stuff was harvested Aug 8th and it's the last of the GG auto. The earliest were harvested late in July. This stuff is very heavy with a strong, relaxing feel-good stone with a great creeper effect. The high keeps on building and building. It's high potency, high quality and it blows away any lowrider or even mighty mite...

The 3rd is a little piece of c-ray's auto timewarp. This stuff has a nice uplifting buzz with good potency. It has a great fruity smell and taste as well.

The 4th and 5th pics are of my GG#2 x (Early Gold x Mighty Mite). This was the first one of these harvested on Aug 8th and the rest are going to be done within a week. This stuff is similar to the GG auto but with more of an immediate rush. It's very strong, very heavy, but with a great euphoric feeling. It has a nice sweet piney/seasoning smell and taste as well. It turned out to be some serious herbs!

Greens

[Agent-Smith]

:drool:

[HellBoy]

I'm jealous as hell... :( ...the damnable Texas weather has fked me right out of growing outdoors for two yrs running... I'm having to survive on a measly 2x3" flower closet...barely covers my needs... :(

...lucky duck!

HB

[Greens]

Hey hellboy, what kind of light do you have in that closet? A 400 HPS? Hopefully, you are getting a good amount of bud out of there.


Well, sorry to say, but prepare to get more jealous. lol.

OK, time for an update!

Well things are budding up very quickly and I ended up harvesting many plants earlier than expected. I harvested a bunch of GG#2s, a couple GG#1s, a couple GG#4s, and all of the GG#2 x (early gold x mighty mite). The trichome production is looking great and these buds are going to be very potent. We've had sunny days almost every single day of the summer and this really increases the potency of the buds. I'm so lucky to be in the swamp. Otherwise, I'd have some major water issues, lol.

Well, I'll start with the Guerilla Gold x (Early gold x Mighty Mite). I harvested one of these August 8th and the rest yersterday. So, that is very cool that this strain has a mid-August finish time. The trichome coverage is exceptional on these buds, especially for such an early strain. The smell is very complex with a sweet seasoning base, with acidic piney and mocha undertones. The early one I harvested is very potent with a strong intoxicating high. Here are the pics...

[Greens]

Next is pretty much my "staple" outdoor crop, the Guerilla Gold#2. I can always count on very early and very potent buds with this strain. Most will be done at the end of August, but several of them were totally finished already so they were harvested. These have that deep sweet seasoning smell with acidic fruity undertones and quite nice tricome production...

[Greens]

Alright next up is one of my favorites for the high, GG#3. I didn't get to harvest any yet, but it looks like they will all be done in less than two weeks. I really like the consistency with GG#3 because they all finish at the exact same time and look so similar. Also, these are consistently EXTREMELY potent. It delivers a very powerful, wacked high with quite a trippy nature to them. At the same time, it relieves pain, stimulates the appetite, and delivers that blissful stone.

[Greens]

These next two are of Guerilla Gold#1. The GG1 has turned out looking quite amazing this year. I knew the seed mother was something special. Sorry, the full plant shots I took didn't load properly but here are some budshots. I harvested a couple of these already...

[Greens]

Remember those sativa pheno GG#1s I bred with last year? Well, here are the offspring looking very much like there mother. Also, just like there mother, they smell like rasberry jambusters (jam donuts). Some rodent has been ripping off the lower branches, but whatever it's not a big deal. The one on the right has a great cola forming and the one on the left looks about two weeks into budding, so I'll be waiting till the end of September for that one.

[Greens]

I'm very pleased with the progress of these GG#2 x Lemon Swiss plants. They seem to be quite consistent for the flowering time and appearance. The colas are going to be massive on these girls. The resin has just started to explode and there are some amazing acidic lemony smells coming from these early buds. It looks like harvest time will be September 20 something...

[Greens]

Here are the GG#2 x Your Mom plants coming along quite nicely. This hybrid seems to have a more variance than the GGxSwiss, but it looks like they will all be early. Some will be done earlier in September and others around the end I suppose. The buds are forming nicely...

[Greens]

First, here is c-ray's auto timewarp. I harvested all the early ones and they were nice herb with good potency and an uplifting high. They were pretty small, but these later phenos will be much larger and will still be quite early...

The 2nd and 3rd pics are of AK99xFreezeland by Jaysprout (Boreal Genetics). I grew this strain last year and it was amazingly good. Just like last year, budding has just started like a week ago...

The last two pics are of Freezeland BX plants. I have several of these two foot spikes from clone of Jaysprout's Freezeland backcross. They didn't veg long and just started to flower. I'll be able to harvest them around the end of the month (how's that for some early freezeland!). The leaves are going yellow, but that will just make the vapes even smoother. That sweet acidic and piney smell is absolutely intoxicating...

Outdoordreams, thanks man. I like your grow too. You are getting some early buds too, but from covering them instead of the genetics. I bet you'll get some very tasty and strong stuff. I haven't heard of F before. Hehe, I think you just gave hellboy the same suggestion he made to me earlier in this thread. lol.

Thanks for stopping in Hashmasta kut...

Hi hellboy, sorry I wasn't trying to bug you TOO much. lol. Good luck with your indoor stuff...

caddis, thank you very much man! Yeah, up here they literally can grow like weeds. At my breeding spot from last year, I found four nice "wild" plants growing in the spring from seeds that fell off of my breeding mothers. I ended up with 3 huge males and a super early female I harvesed at the beginning of July! lol.

Simple, thank you man!

By the way, the Guerilla Gold #2 dried buds have turned out to be absolutely fantastic. They have a very frosty and golden green colour. They have a deep sweet seasoning smell with very attractive acidic fruity undertones. The taste is very resinous and the vapes are very thick in the Vriptech. This very sunny summer has made some very potent buds. The high comes on fairly quick and is a nice balanced body/cerebral stone with an intense euphoric feeling. This high is powerful and lasts quite a long tome. It's all round great herb.

The GG#1 earlier specimen is also extremely potent. It is much like the GG#2, but the buds are more spear shaped, rather than wide crowns. The high and potency are similar but this stuff is more sativa dominant with more uplifting feelings and intense trippiness and a little less heavy. It has a very acidic and resinous sweet seasoning smell and taste. I really love this stuff...

The GG#2 x (early gold x mighty mite) is ridiculously potent. This stuff has an insane stone that leaves you absolutely mentally and physically retarded. lol. Your brain hardly functions, you lay on the couch, but you feel so damn good at the same time. lol. It's too much for some people who can't handle that heaviness and the heart-racing high at the same time. It's very intoxicating, very debilitating, but so very euphoric. I'm quite impressed...

Anthrax Considered a Product of Environmental Conditions

“Anthrax is considered to be an environmental disease,” explains CFIA disease control specialist Dr. Sandra Stephens. “[Bacterial] spores that are the causative agent for anthrax are potentially buried and located in any number of places across western Canada. It’s not an infectious disease in the typical sense that it doesn’t spread from animal to animal. It’s something animals acquire from the soil.”

She explains, “We do tend to see a couple of environmental conditions that tend to result in exposing spores to grazing animals. The one would be similar to what we’ve seen in northeast Saskatchewan where we’ve had an extensive amount of rainfall, snow cover followed by more rainfall so there’s soil saturation, flooding. As those flood waters and the water starts to dry up from those saturated soils, the spores which are buoyant and have floated to the surface tend to get left behind on the soil.”

She adds, “The other would be prolonged periods of dryness or drought. In those situations we start to see pasture starting to get eaten back and growth of grass isn’t good so animals are grazing closer to the ground picking up more dirt which potentially could contain spores.”

[Greens]

Alright, well, I snapped some pictures of some of the dried buds. A bunch of them didn't really turn out very well for some reason, but I got a few nice ones to share.

The first picture is of Guerilla Gold#1, the second picture is of Guerilla Gold#4 and the last picture is of Guerilla Gold#2. All these buds are from plants harvested on August 22nd. These are some very potent buds and I'm quite proud to have grown them outdoors in Manitoba. Right now, I'm enjoying some BHO budder I made with GG and Freezeland buds and it's crazy potent. lol.

[spacegrass]

awesome pics greens....lookin tasty :drool: and aug 22nd too damn

[Agent-Smith]

very nice, those GGs look like some really nice plants, they were all auto-flowering right?

[Greens]

spacegrass, thanks man!

Agent-Smith, hey thanks! I'm quite sure most were autoflowering, but some might have just been super ealry.

Crippledcrow, yeah, I've been posting my pics up at a few places now and yes I'll have new stuff there any day now.

OK, time for another update and some pictures. Things are still going very nice although there are a couple problems. Some rodent has been breaking and eating some lower branches on several plants. It's a bitch, but I think it's making the top colas grow more. The other problem is that I'm having a bit of an N deficiency. This far into flowering, it shouldn't be a problem. Still, I gave them a small amount of N rich fert.

OK, here are the remaining GG#2 plants right before I harvested them. They have some quite impressive buds.

[Greens]

Here are some GG#3 pictures. Some of these need about one more week. The pics are from yesterday...

[Greens]

Here are some GG#1 pics. I harvested them all except for one...

[Greens]

These two big plants are the sativa pheno of Guerilla Gold that I bred for. They reek of jam donuts just like their mother did. Both of them have the pink hairs. The closeup is of the taller one on the left. The one on the right is close to done.

[Greens]

Next, here is the GG#2xLemon Swiss really packing on the buds. They all have quite an impressive main cola. Their are some amazing sweet and sour smells coming from these ladies. The closer shots are from the same plant.

[Greens]

OK, these are the GG#2xYour Mom plants really looking very nice. Some are close to done and the others won't be too long either. The first closeup is of the pheno that's almost done and the other closeup is of the later pheno. There is some nice trichome coverage on those and some strong fruity smells.

[Greens]

These are AK99xFreezeland by Jaysprout. You can see the N deficiency is these girls, but I think they'll be just fine. They are really exploding and I can't wait till these fill out more...

[Greens]

Here are some Triple Afghan Slam x Guerilla Gold #3 by DDT. They really have exploded into heavy budding. One is over 8 feet tall.

[Greens]

Alright, last but not least is Auto Timewarp by C-ray. These are the later and larger phenos of this strain. I'm glad that they are much larger and it looks like they will be done before the end of the month. The pistils are always so thick on this strain. Also, the two pistils coming out of the calyx are usually stuck together, making them look even thicker.

Greens

[vapor]

looking good greens!!
C99 X freezeland would be interesting..

Damn Greens nice lookin girls , makes a person drool , LOL

[Greens]

Thanks vapor! Those are actually Freezeland x (AK47 x C99) . I grew this strain out last year and it was fantastic. It was pretty much finished when we got a hard freeze october 4th. It was very freezeland dominant with a sweet acidic piney smell and taste. It also got the very heavy and potent stone from the freezeland. Jaysprout has a very special Freeze clone he uses for breeding that is very strong, very tasty, and quite early. I loved the Freezeland backcross that he made, so I crossed it to my Guerilla Gold#2 (an awesome GG2 male with big trichomes covering it).

Simple, thank you man. I always appreciate any comments about my crops. I'll have more dried bud pics that will surely make you drool some more. hehe.

crippledcrow, you have that right, that's for sure. Those GG#2 crosses turned out so good and I cannot wait to toke on some of that. I love how the GGxSwiss and GGxYM both exploded into massive colas, especially the Swiss. I wish I grew more. lol. It looks like they should be totally done at the end of the month and some of the your mom crosses even earlier. That's just awesome.

Vapor, hehe, you've got a beef with a weed. lol. Well, this cross is awesome and I doubt you'd have a "beef" with it. hehe. The thing is you don't want too much c99 in there because she's a real mildew magnet and I find the high very short-lived. The freezeland takes care of that I guess.

Hellboy, thank you very much man! Keep an eye out for more updates...

dpn, thanks man! Well, I grow them at 50 degrees north as well, so they should do just great over there as long as you get some sun. lol. These girls love the sun all day long.

It's been mad cool the past few nights around here. So, I'm hoping that turns around very soon.

Later,

Wow Greens you are really showing off............Very nice photos, very nice herbs...............I like, I like.....

Everytime I hike the mountain now I dream of an early strain..........some of my plants are just begining to flower now..................hahaha..........I have a friend in alberta who has finished for the year..............With the F strain................

Hi Greens,

AWESOME show Brotha! :kind:

[ncga]

Hi Greens

I was happy to be able to get the GG seeds in time for this years Canadian trials. This year along with GG was Pacific Pow and COC's Outdoor purple. So far you were right on about early. It is the best early Canadian genetics I have tried in a long time. Although it is about 7 to days from harvest that puts it in the early time frame for Mendo. A bit on the small side for Mendo but it looks good so far. The Outdoor purple is early but has none of the aroma or resin of the GG. The earliness and other good points made it an ideal breeding plant for trials. Will keep you posted. The Pacific POW is looking really good as to size , but will need to see when it finishes. Looking forward to a second round of trial with the GG next year. It was a bit tricky to start indoors but I have that dialed in now.

Thanks
nc

[Greens]

caddis, hey thanks man. Yeah, I'm glad that never happened. I don't think we even got a light frost although it was about 1 degree celcius that night. lol. See, this is exactly why I love GG so much.

Hey outdoordreams, thank you! Yeah, I guess I don't mind showing off my buds. lol. Those buds are just begging to be showed off. hehe. If I get the F, I'll cross it to the GG.

NCGA, glad to see you around man. Those are some very nice GG pics and plants. I am so pleased that you like the Guerilla Gold. She certainly is an early finisher that has the quality that makes her very worthy. Yeah, there are hardly any early outdoor strains that are this good, in Canada, the Netherlands, or anywhere else for that matter. You're right that the plants aren't really big, but you still get a decent yield considering the earliness. Thanks for the compliments on the GG man, it's greatly appreciated!

Greens

[ncga]

Fist 2 Pacific pow

Second
3 are the COC Outdoor Purple
Zero smell and very few resin glands, has that no smell pot smell.

[Greens]

Nice pics again, ncga!

The pacific pow looks like a nice yielder and she has nice resin early in flowering. It's not nearly as early as guerilla gold, but looks like she'll still be fairly early. Yeah, although that COC Outdoor Purple is quite early, I don't see hardly any trichomes on her and the ones I do see are so small. I bet GG destroys that stuff when you toke it...

[Fa Q]

Hey there Greens! Just wanted to let you know that the GG performed magnificently for me here in southern BC. We had a stellar season, and I just harvested my last batch of GG and GGx(EGxMM) the other day. I harvested in 3 batches starting August 8, then again August 15 and took down the last of the plants Sept. 8. Gotta love those early genetics!!
I germinated 24 beans and had a 100% germ rate, got 16 girls and 8 males. I found GG to be an easy-to-grow strain, not too picky and would be a great plant for beginning outdoor growers to work with. After drying and a short 10 day cure in jars I was amazed at how smooth the smoke was...very tasty with a nice dank smell. Very potent as well, GG is sure to be my primary strain for outdoor next year. I just wish I grew more this season! Ah well, there's always next year, I suppose.
Happy to see you developing new GG crosses, I'll be very interested in obtaining some of those soon.
Thanks again man, best of luck and stay safe!

[Greens]

Hey Fa Q,

How's it going man? I'm very glad to hear you liked the Guerilla Gold, that's awesome. Great job growing those very early buds, man! Yeah, the crosses sure turned out to be very nice and I'll be toking some very soon, hehe. Well, have fun with those GG buds man!

Greens

[BreederBrad]

Geeze im really so glad this strain has made it around tha block...congrats everybody

[Greens]

Cool to see you around here, Breederbrad! You wouldn't believe how many people grew GG this year and there are countless new GG hybrids people made. About half the GGx Lemon Swiss have a nice strong sour lemony smell from the swiss and one smells like cantaloupe.

Give those auto timewarps I gave you a try next year if you can (c-ray's). It's quite a cool early hybrid to work with. It has a nice sour fruity smell and taste. Some smaller ones can be harvested in July and then there are some larger later ones into september. It's not as potent as Guerilla Gold, but the uplifting high is still very enjoyable and still quite strong. I made a small amount of auto timewarp x GG#2 beans, so that should be a very nice early cross. I also made a small amount of Freezeland bx X GG#2 as well which should be killer potent and early.

Greens

[The Cannarchist]

How was the season Greens?

[Greens]

Hey Cannarchist, how's it going man?

Well, it was a nice sunny year which was great for my early strains like GG. When it's sunny every day, those GG buds just pack on the trichomes and turn just white and sparkly (as you can see from the pics. hehe). It was hot and very little rain, but my girls were good for water because of their location in the swamps. The Guerilla Gold harvest has been just spectacular (finished now of course). It has great appearance, good yield, dank smell/taste, dense trichome coverage and super strong potency. Some of the GG#3s are just ridiculously strong. I'll have dried nug pics of that soon.

The GG x (early Gold x mighty mite) was also super early and super dank strength. The Freezeland bx turned out mad early with very heavy potency and amazing piney taste and smell. The auto timewarps were crazy early little ones, had a nice sour fruity smell/taste, and pretty nice uplifting buzz.
The GGxYour Mom and GG x Lemon Swiss turned out to be some great outdoor hybrids with early flowering, dense trichs, very good potency, and amazing fruity smells/flavors (some done now and others soon). The AK99xFreezeland got some frost damage, but hopefully they are OK. The Triple Afghan Slam x GG#3 turned dark blue, almost black with great trichomes so we'll see how that stuff is pretty soon.

So, yeah, it's been a nice season. There are always a few problems like the heat and lack of rain in the summer, the animals, and that retarded early frost we got there. However, the end product has turned out to be just fantastic this year and everyone is loving this stuff.

Greens

[The Cannarchist]

Good on you mate! Wish I was there now after a lil cure!

Oh and CLEAR OUT YOUR PM'S!

[Greens]

Hey man, thank you! Did you do anything outside this year or no? Well, I have some new beans for you to try next season that you should like.

Thanks for giving me the heads up for my PMs. lol, must've been stoned.

Greens

[Greens]

Hey everyone!

Well, I been very busy harvesting and trimming plants over the last week. I had a killer frost and everything had to come down. It kinda sucked because I had to go out there in a rush and harvest everything. I didn't even have time to take pics and it was totally dark out anyway.

However, I was very glad to see that the Lemon Swiss x GG plants, the Your Mom x GG plants, and the later auto timewarp phenos finished. A couple of the Triple Afghan Slam x GG#3 were finished and the other two were quite close. Some of those turned a very dark blue that was almost black and it looks very cool. Unfortunately, the AK99 x Freezeland were so damaged from the first light frost (sept 8) that the buds didn't get a chance to finish. It'll make good BHO. Of course, all of the Guerilla Golds were harvested many weeks ago, so they didn't have to deal with frost.

Anyway, look out for my new dried bud pics of all of these strains in the next few days.

I guess I might as well show you some of the dried Guerilla Gold#3 buds since I already took those pictures a few weeks ago. This herb is so tight, that the nugs are rock hard and super heavy. The trichome coverage on these calyxes is almost unbeatable, the acidic and sweet seasoning smell is intoxicating, and the deep resinous taste is so satisfying. The potency is extremely high and it delivers a mind blowing and trippy, yet very relaxing and euphoric high.


Greens

[Springs]

Looks killer man! Cant wait for the other pics.

[Bram]

Nice pics. I liked your GG #2. Hella resinous shit.

[Greens]

Springs, thanks man! Yes, I'll take those pics anytime now because the buds are dry and ready to go. There is going to be some very nice specimens of several strains.

Bram, thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the GG#2. It sure is quite resinous, plus it's mad early and very strong herb. I crossed it to the auto timewarp, which should make another nice early hyrbrid. I know that GG#2 is really covered in trichomes, but I should give you some GG#3 for next year because that one's even more resinous with trichs growing off trichs (some two and three headed trichs as well. lol). GG#2 feels more indica and GG#1 and #3 feel a bit more sativa with more trippiness.

Greens

[Bram]

ya, I stunted the GG #2's this time around :o first time playing with the autoflowering kinds, they are abit different in grow requirements, at leat if you want to get yield. I crossed the GG #2 to Mango x Highland afghan, so that hould be interesting too. I would love to try some more GG next year. the early shit is the bomb. Mad bag appeal to it too.

[BreederBrad]

My outdoor was a flop..ah well always next year god dam mold...
PEACE

[Greens]

Damn that sucks, breederbrad. That (sweetooth x timewarp) x sweetooth was unfortunately a mold magnet. I'm really sorry to hear that man. I hope you at least got a decent amount from the freezeland crosses. Dude, I'm sure you know this already, but your crazy for not growing the Guerilla Gold (ealry gold or whatever). That shit is made for outside in Canada where it can ripen under the hot summer sun. Well, I'm sure you got a nice indoor crop going on, so I bet you're doing alright.

OK later,

Shitty deal BB, I know how ya feel.

[cannaloop]

Hi everyone, I haven't had internet access where I could access this site in awhile, so bare with me as I blab on a little.

I started a thread on GG2 at the beggining of the season, but it didn't go very far as only males survived the hungry critters. Greens has mentioned that deer, rabbits, and rodents really like the Guerilla Gold and he's not kidding! I had 3 different phenos as far as stature and have kept all three in a pseudo-vegetative state in an attempt to make crosses etc. over the winter. I grew a couple more from seed indoors and got a male and a female. They were kept in very small containers and started to flower in 4 weeks from seed! I have a feeling that root space may have an effect on flowering with this strain. My outdoors were in 20l containers and went 6-8 weeks before flowering and got to about 4.5 ' tall. Anyway, the indoor plants finished very small and stunted. The male cloned easily and the female was very reluctant but eventually took. She never really showed much bud development at all, but this would likely be from the conditions under which it was grown.

I would really like to know if Guerilla Gold has ruderalis in it. I had a male that hermied and I don't want to use the GG in any breeding if it contains ruderalis. Does anyone know the exact lineage of this strain?
I know that there's Kona Gold, Mighty Mite, Afghani (automatic?), and Early Gold (this is where I'm nervous that there is ruderalis).

I have attempted to keep bonsias of this strain and it has been a challenge to say the least. I'm obviously not surprised that they flower under 24/0, but I still have plants from cuttings made in June. Some individuals root more easily and are kept in a vegetative-like state through pruning the hell out of them. I am trying to gain more control over the crosses made with an autoflower and perhaps keep some individuals around for a longer period of time. The obvious disadvantages of autoflowers is the lack of consistency when breeding, not being able to keep an exact duplicate of an exceptional individual, and not being able to grow a fully mature plant from a mother plant.

When cloning and then trying to breed individuals with GG2, it gets a little funny. You get super stunted plants with a handful of sparse buds but at least there is breeding control.

It would be nice to have a cloneable strain that autoflowers, but can be kept in enough of a vegetative state to grow from a mother plant as well. I don't think that this inconceivable, just a little tricky is all. I don't want to use the shortcut of introducing the rudy genetics though.

Greens and Breeder Brad, you guys are probably the ones with the answers on this :)

Nice grow and show by the way Greens, very nice! My other plants are still out trying to finish LOL I hope the C99 doesn't start to explode with mildew like you mentioned before. If it does, it's simply out of the program. I made a cross between GG2 and Burmese and I would think that it will be very good as my Burmese is really looking nice and has a very nice citrus aroma to it.

Greens, my experience this year has made me very interested in your GG3 line and I would definitely like to get ahold of some...

[Bram]

you could try Bio-Soy for the PM on the C99 when she gets it, cuz she will and really really bad. I've never seen anything PM up like C99, white leaves man white leaves.

[Greens]

Hey guys, well, Guerilla Gold is:

Early Gold x (Afghan x Mighty Mite)

Early Gold is Kona Gold x Himalayan.

Cannaloop, hey, yeah I remember you talking about your grow quite some time ago when you said you got just males outdside. Yeah, growing GG inside is pretty much a waste of time because the girls will never get anywhere near their potential. Outdoors, they produce much larger, denser, more trichome covered buds that are much more potent. Whenever someone says they want to grow it inside, I say that will be about as worthwhile as me trying to grow neville's haze outdoors here in Manitoba. lol.

The only reason to grow them at all inside is for breeding, but I heard another person say they had a male go herm indoors (or was that you?), so you have to be selective. I have had success starting mothers inside and cloning them after 8 weeks of veg in a bubbler, then I put them outside soon after they root. I've heard others say they kept a mom going for almost a year, I think he said the key was to keep cutting clones.

As for GG containing ruderalis, I can't say for sure. I think it depends on whether mighty mite contains ruderalis, which nobody seems to know either. It does contain a lot of autoflowering genetics, but I don't think they would be classified as ruderalis because they have been selectively bred (I think) rather than just growing wild along a road. When looking at, smelling, and toking the final product, you certainly wouldn't think it contains rudy.

Yeah, I bet Burmese x GG#2 will be a great cross. The GG will make it finish faster pretty much guaranteed.

OK later,

Greens

[cannaloop]

:up: Thanks Greens. Hopefully I'll have an outdoor thread to contribute for next year.

Bram, thanks for the advice. I just noticed the typical 'is that bird shit?' on one of the photos I took of my outdoor C99 last time. I had no idea it was prone to PM until now. I grew A11 outdoors last year with incredible results, and there was plenty opportunity for mildew to take over. I'm guessing Genius must be PM resistent then?

Take care

[Greens]

Hello!

Ok, I know it took a long time for me to take these pictures. lol. Sorry about that if anyones been waiting. Anyway, here are some dried bud pics.

The first two are Guerilla Gold #2. Pics 3 and 4 are Guerilla Gold#1. I know I've already showed enough of GG#3, but the last pic is a nug of that.

[Greens]

First is some GG#2 x Lemon Swiss. It's probably the best tasting out of my outdoor crop with a satisfying lemony taste and strong lemon smell. It turned out to be very potent with a powerful wacked-out and very satisfying high. That pic didn't turn out as well as I hoped, so I'll try again later...

The 2nd and 3rd pics are of two different phenos of GG#2 x Your Mom. This is also some seriously tasty and great-smelling herb. It is very sweet, fruity and a little hazy. It has tons of trichs all over the place. The high is strong, uplifting and very enjoyable all round. It's quite a bit stronger than pure Your Mom grown indoors...

The 4th one is Auto Timewarp nug from the larger later pheno. It has a very attractive sour fruity smell and taste. It smells like sour bananas and strawberries and it really comes through in the flavour. It delivers a nice strong uplifting high that comes on really quickly. Sorry, it's not the greatest pic, but I'll try again another time.

The last pic is of a nug from that Jam Donut sativa pheno Guerilla Gold that I've been playing around with my outdoor breeding. This buds from that pink haired very sativaish looking one from the pics. It smells and tastes just like jam donuts (jambusters). The high is a very relaxing thai-like buzz that is quite motivational. It's not as potent as GG#1, GG#2 or GG#3 but it's still quite strong and very enjoyable.

[Greens]

1st is the dark blue pheno of Guerilla Gold #3 x Triple Afghan Slam. It looks very nice and has a great acidic earthy smell with hints of skunk in the green pheno. The taste is very rich, deep, greasy and resinous. It delivers a very strong heavy high that is also very euphoric and satisfying.

2nd is the green pheno of GG#3 x TAS that was a little earlier and is even more potent...

OK, that's it for the outdoor nugs. However, I thought I'd share a couple pics from a special indoor strain I just grew out from seed. So, the 3rd and 4th pics are Jack Hammer which is a Jack's Cleaner backcross. This stuff has a strong lemony smell and taste that is just so intoxicating. It's similar to the lemon swiss, but it is a little sweeter and a little less skunky and pungent. However, it does have more and larger trichomes and looks amazing in the bag. It delivers quite a powerful high that is mostly indica, but is still very euphoric and wacked. It's a keeper...

[canine]

Bitchin', Greens. I'll have a tub of GG2 outside in '07, guaranteed.

[Bram]

Looks fucking awesome. Our late autowarps really purpled up tho, mostly on the leaves, but one had purple calyxs as well.

[Green Supreme]

Very nice Greens. Thanks for the feedback. Can't wait to see how you do next year already.

Peace GS

[The Cannarchist]

Another good season ....

[Greens]

Canine, thanks man! I'm sure you'll enjoy GG if you try it out next season.

Thanks Bram, yeah I had a few of the auto timewarps with purple leaves. I had more with pink/purple pistils though. I like the smell and flavour of that herb. The high's nice too...

Green Supreme, thank you very much! Yes indeed, I'm already thinking of next year too, of course. lol.

Thanks Cannarchist. Yeah, it was pretty good for sure except the early frosts. With the early strains I mostly used, it wasn't a problem though. I had some friends get a great harvest of awesome buds with some GG crosses they made. I heard many people did well in BC too.

[Mike Lowrey]

What was ur total yeild this year greenz ?

[plantbuilder]

^ what was yours?

[c-ray]

oh ya pb what was yours?

[Green Supreme]

Lol

[Greens]

Hey TGA, how's it going man!

Well, I really don't like talking about "total yields" or total plant numbers on these boards, especially when they are good (for obvious reasons). Let's just say it was quite a nice yield that I was proud of. I wouldn't say a spectacular yield, but it was very good. However, I was even more impressed with the quality of the outdoor buds this year. For Manitoban outdoor, the GG#3 is absolutey unbeatable. The dry kif from all the GG plants is FULL MELT and it's the strongest dry kif I've ever smoked. It leaves you laying on the couch with a retarded grin, but your heart is racing at the same time. Same goes with the GG BHO budder, it's ridiculous.

Did you end up doing that Jack's cleaner outdoor project with tarps or did you do anything outdoors this year? Make sure to check out those Jack Hammer dried buds. It's very nice stuff...

Hey cray and company, what happened to the favorite strains by the avatar? I always liked seeing what people have in there. I actually was going to make a few changes for mine and then it's gone (I wanted to add Jack Hammer and Freezeland and probably take out Your Mom)...
