Wow, 8 years of growing and the best thing you could come up with on the forum is topping a plant? I enjoy how this thread has transitioned from you showing the world your brand spanking new technique to saying you're here to learn. If you're here to learn then stfu and read a little bit. It may take months (years in your case) to figure out exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it.
I'm with Brick on this one, the feds are after you because of this site, time to move on to another and become a guru with your amazing topping technique. Maybe people there will appreciate your ignorance.
With 8 years of growing you would think that YOU would have the experience to come on the forums and teach people a thing or two about how and why you do things the way you do in your garden.
Was just trolling around some of your posts and I see the typical noob questions posed by you as the people on here that don't even grow. You asked what Granddaddy Purple was.. are you kidding me? What rock have you been under? You go on to ask about the strain lineage, have you never heard of google? Lemme take the 10 seconds to find the information you were looking for.. wow.. 2 pages FULL of GDP..
Granddaddy Purple (GDP)
[Apothecary]
Indica
Origins - Northern California
Flowering - 60 days
Harvest - Mid October
Apothecary specializes in creating medical strains. They have been growing and refining this all-indica variety for five years. Her ancestors have grown in the hills of Northern California for over two decades, where her phenotypes have been known by many different names including Grape Ape, Purple Erkel, and Grandaddy Grape Ape.
As an indoor crop, Granddaddy Purple is equally happy in hydro or soil. With a pure indica heritage, this plant is predisposed to a short bushy stature. Granddaddy branches extensively, making her less than ideal for SOG style grows, but she can be trained to make an awesome super crop garden. When left to her natural tendencies, this strain will make a nice big shrub that reaches about 3 feet indoors or up to 8 feet outdoors. She is a hardy grower with tight internodes and dense dark green to purple leaves.
Granddaddy Purple is easy to work with throughout her growth cycle. She likes a cool temperature, between 70-80 F, and can be very forgiving so long as she is adequately watered. Due to her high resin output and dense structure, this plant can be alluring to mites.
Granddaddy Purple finishes her flowering cycle in 8-9 weeks. The buds are dense green nuggets that gain royal purple hues as they mature. Depending on the size she is allowed to reach, Granddaddy Purple can yield between 0.5 and 3.5 ounces apiece. outdoor plants will really deliver, with potential yields between 8 ounces and 5 pounds.
There is a potent, undeniable grape tinge to this plant' aroma, and a sweet grape taste that lingers subtly on the tongue. Granddaddy Purple's effects are enduring, with a smooth even feeling throughout. For an indica, her buzz is surprisingly alert and energetic rather than sedating. This is a good smoke for walking in the high meadows and swimming in the lake afterwards. Medicinally, this varity has given relief to cancer / chemotherapy patients. Granddaddy Purple has taken first prize in no less than four pot competitions: The Inglewood Medical Cannabis Cup in 2004, and the Green Cup in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
I'm going to lay off you for now with this little tidbit of advice. The internet is a great place, after rummaging through a lot of bullshit you'll find MANY gems of information there. Take the time and do the legwork for yourself and figure out what you need to know. Someone telling you what to do is a lot different than figuring out for yourself. Take the time to look through peoples grow journals with an academic approach. Why are they doing what they do and exactly how is it working?
