Dr Greenthumb .com The Dope Test grow

I think he said the flower time was around 9 weeks so pretty short. Those elite cuttings do sound good I had my eye on the C99 personally.

looks very good what light are you using for veg?

I have a small box that I have some cfls in for veg. It's not ideal but at least I can grow some plants while I flower others. Eventually i hope to upgrade to a tent and put the veg plants in the closet but this is what I have for now. I keep them small under the CFLs usually just keep cloning them but the small root space really stunts their growth.

yea you got to do what you got to do.lol i'm going to sub up and see what comes out. i got og kush 18 i oreder them yesterday so i should have them in about two week i going to start a thread on her and 420.

right on I will look out for that. Sorry I haven't really been posting a lot of pictures but I usually don't have our camera handy and just generally haven't taken any. they range from 4 weeks of flowering to 2 weeks of flowering. They are really coming along now and are very sticky. I mean it. The buds are really chunky and the flower to leaf ratio is very impressive.

yea i seen the buds on them. my mmg i have a tread on is in its 5th week of flowering. and its really impressing me and i have grown about ten different strains. i just got done growing 6 rock lock seeds and i got over 14 oz off of it. the mmg i had three reg seeds of them but only one was a female. go check it out if you have time.

yah, i love the leaf to flower ratio on the dopes as well.. they are gonna be a dream to manicure after some of the strains i have had to spend hours on in the past.. my one dope started to flower while still in veg, so she's a lil ahead of the other dope and the og, but they are all looking lovely for sure, as i'm sure yours are too pipe.. keep up the good work..

hey sorry it's been a while since i last posted had a lot going on is all. My worst dreams have become a realityas I got spidermites from the clones I purchased. All seemed to be going well until one day I go to water the clone and she was totally infested, I'm talking webs and all. In a matter of days it went from green to spotted yellow I knew it as soon as I looked @ her and closer inspection was disgusting to say the least. They really just stayed dormant until just the right time and with the summer heat I have a big problem. I immediately got rid of her and luckily it looks like the other plants are going to be okay. I have decided to take everything down maybe next week or maybe sooner depending on if it spreads because im going out of town for 4th of july anyways. I gave some of the plants showers just to try to thwart their breeding, luckily the humidity is low enough her i wasnt too worried about mold and they seem to be okay. I was in such a mad dash I didnt think about staking them before i got them wet and the big bagseed just toppled over and one of the stems snapped I thought it might be okay after staking her up but it was evident the next day the branch was dieing so I just dried that branch. I was almost out of smoke neways.

So anyways thats why I havent really been updating and I started playing a game that takes a lot of my time online. My best dope is now been flowering for 7 weeks and she looks just about ready and the other is about a week behind that so might be a little premature. I have 2 others that I put in even later that just arent doing as well at all. I put them in the MGOC soil instead of the FFOF since I ran out. I had been bashing this soil for a while and I wanted to make sure I wasn't mistaken but the difference is night and day. The plants in the MG are just yellow and pale green and they have been ever since I transplanted where the FFOF plants greened up after I transplanted. All my clones are in the MG too and they just dont grow anywhere near the vigor of the OF plants. They have a lot of strange difiencies or toxicities that I never saw before using this soil. After purchasing some perlite the OF is basically cheaper anyways so w/e.

About the dopes: they are vigorous growers. that I have seen since the beginning. They have beautiful leaves and clone very easy. The buds are thick dense super crystally and have a great aroma. It's very exotic something different than I have ever smelled on a MJ plant but I guess the closest thing so far would be a pineapple smell, I love it. The branching on this plant is phenomanal, much like the mikado it grows branches instead of forming buds along the main stem except the small leaves allow light to penetrate all the bud sites. The plant I have was put in after one the 2 colas (from topping) was burned by my light so the size of her is only 1/2 what she could be and I would say the yeild is going to be pretty good all things considered- she topples over a little from the weight of the buds I don't really have anything bad to say about this strain. I wish I had a better setup but I think for me that it pretty much outperformed everything else in the garden because it grows vigourously, it flowers fast (7 weeks looks done) it's the frostiest plant in the garden, the buds are massive compared to the leaves-the mikado and the cannalope are actually very leafy, it has a great smell and if I could only choose one strain to grow out of these 3 it would be the easiest choice I have ever made. I will get a smoke report and some pics soon here before I chop just need to go get batteries I've been kinda slackin since I got the news.

that really sucks about the mites pipe.. i hope that tossing out the one clone did the trick.. i have heard of this happening quite often honestly. i don't know how someone could sell clones that they know have spidermites.. i would be pretty pissed as well for sure.. i guess i'm lucky that i don't have access to clones honestly.. growing from seed may take a lil longer, but it seems to be worth it imho..
yah, i love the smell of the dopes as well.. i am really bad at describing smells, but they do smell lovely.. i was thinking maybe kinda skunky? but i don't know honestly.. they are wayy stinkier than my og is, but she is also a week or two ahead of the og is flowering... she is gonna be a dream to manicure for sure.
i used to use what are called rose buckets that i got from my local hydro store awhile back that i think are only like two and a half gallons, and i just switched this grow to five gallon bucket liners i got from work.. i left the one dope in the rose bucket as i didn't think i would have enough room for three five gallon buckets, and the one in the five gallon bucket is really outperforming the one in the smaller buckets... its like a night and day difference that i wouldn't believe if i didn't see it for myself.. mine maybe about five or so weeks into flower, so i've gotta lil more time left on mine..
can't wait to hear a smoke report from you pipe since it sounds like your gonna get there before me..
hope that you got that mite problem under control..

Yeah Racer everybody's always trying to make a buck and it really hurts the industry IMO. This was my main concern all along but the bud was so good I had to have it and I am grateful that none of the other plants seem to be infected. I was naaive in thinking that since the plant looked healthy there was no way it was infected. Keep in mind I have had the clones for about a month and they were nothing but lucious green. I feel like once I start over I can prevent infestation and I have ordered a lot of seeds I'm dieing to try out. I might actually buy some purps seeds tomorrow but I have cuts of so many good plants that I find hard to just kill.

my biggest drawback throughout this whole grow has been pot size. Growing plants in dixie cups really just keeps them small and underfed. The difference between growing under the HID and under the cfls is a big difference and all the problems I've had is due to this. The difference is saving weeks of veg though so it's kind of a double edged sword. The last grow was in 5 gallon pots and this time I'm using 3 gallon containers and I really do like the bigger pots because I've been watering much more frequently. I am thinking I will grow out some sativa strains or something and not veg for long to level out the amount of time it takes to get from seed to harvest. Maybe grow out a few of these and let them do their thing in bigger pots and better conditions.

I have the Doc's OG Kush and his Iranian G-13...the og's were put in soil april 28....the iranian's G-13(not autoflower) were put in soil june 8...Has anybody grown the doc's og before...what kind of yeild? he says 4, but his sight says 8-33 oz's......I also got some purps going but can't take pics yet. My perps were put into the soil on may 26...and the iranians will pass those purps.....First set Iranian G-13

The OG's......i couldn't take pics of a few others....maybe in a week or 2...freakin schools out kids everywhere

Hey great lookin plants you got there green, love the thick stems on those seedlings.

Well yesterday I told you the top was leaning over well this morning I went in and the weight of the bud literally made the stem bend in 1/2. I had the same thing happen to my taller bagseed as I said but that was only after I got it wet. This is the first strain I ever had this happen to so yes the yeild on these is definately above average. Everybody growing these I suggest you stake them to prevent this happening to you. Again this plant would have had two colas but one of them was burned and died before flowering.I staked her up and my hands were so sticky and smelly. I don't know about skunky as racer said, all weed kinda has some skunky smell but this is different and pretty fruity. I snapped a couple pics before my camera died since it's been acting up. They arent great and dont do the plants much justice but gives you an idea of whaqt they look like I guess.

Well there is something wrong w/ my camera. Even when I put new batteries in it it says low batteries and lets me take about 2 pictures before dieing. Hopefully in the future I will figure out what's wrong with it. With that said, here's 2 pictures of the second dope that will be coming down. Not the best but like I said I don't get to be choosy about what pics I keep and these will most likely be the last pics I take until they are smokable buds. As you can see this one was kept too hot and it caused the leaves to curl up. Anyway the first dope doesnt look to be healing too well after the stem snapped and in all honesty it will probably come down tomorrow while this one will have a few more days. It was planted a few days after the other and they are looking about done too so not even premature. Amazingly they have been flowering for just around 7 weeks and most of the hairs have turned orange and the calyxes are swollen. This is the fastest growing strain i have ever grown as well and I can't wait to try this smoke it smells so good.

here they are at 28 days from germination............only 2 are here in pics

View attachment 1028447yah pipe, i take back that skunky smell statement, and tend to agree more with you about it being more friuty .. its got a lovely smell to it for sure.. your are looking effing sweet.. idk what i did to mine.. i was thinking maybe that my og crowded them out and they didn't get the light that they really needed.. i'm thinking of going up to a 400 watt hps in the future so that i don't have this problem again.. i am looking at the phantom 400 watt dimeable ballast as i love the dimeable feature..
and greenjoe, i'm growing out the dr's og kush, got maybe another three weeks or so left on her.. it looks like its going to yeild pretty good for me.. i am hoping for around 3 o's off of her under a 250 hps and in five gallon containers..not too bad.. i have been supercropping the crap out of her to try and keep the canopy as even as possible, and she seems to have really responded to it well..
heres a few pix of the og for your viewing pleasures, lol.. not the biggest cola;s i've had, but soo damn many of them..

right on racer those og's look really nice! I think you'll be happy with the light improvement but IDK if that was the main reason for the Dope's not so strong finish but won't hurt. I'll working on getting everything cleaned and restarting soon and I hope to have a cut of mine to grow but there are some wierd tendancies of this strain that may need to be worked out. Particularly mine just grows a lot of preflowers and IDK if my clone will grow as good as the seedling it came from or if it has some autoflower characteristics. If you saw any of the multiple clones I have taken from my main pheno you would swear they were flowering, my small clone already has trichs growing on it. I am not sure if the yeild is as good as I was expecting but one thing is sure, it is a very fast finisher which makes possibe to harvest more often. Mine went for like 7 weeks and don't seem to be premature at all. The premature buds I did pick are still good smoke with a similar smell as my #1 plant just less defined. I will leave a smoke report soon I want to let it cure a little longer and get some pics.

iranian g-13's are around 37 days.........first one is the OG..5'11"....branches are just about 2 feet wide.....hoping to get 5-6 oz's from her...hoping

Hey GJ looking really good I am so jealous of you having a yard to grow in and all. Keep us posted I hope you get what you are looking for out of them.

I just got finished cleaning everything out. Been scrubbin pots all day and using bleach and water to sterilize them. have been using the stuff from walmart that is supposed to kill mites and I think it's doing okay but the little shits are hard for me too see until they are out of control. I also got some stuff fromn hydro store IDK my wife went so I am guessing neem oil I will continue using these products and I am hoping to rid myself of them. I decided to grow out some clones instead of trashing everything because I figured I would have to kill them anyways and even if I planted new seeds I might still have the same problems. I transplanted all my clones from dixie cups into larger containers of new ocean forest. The plants have been steadily been eating themselves up in the MGOC and I am hoping that in a few days they will start to perk back up. I planted one Barneys farm top dawg seed fem too. Since the Dopes reminded me of pineapple I figured this would be cool comparison also they say they don''t need a long veg time and that's what I'm looking for. I plan on vegging these for about 3 weeks and then flowering them all again. I now have 1 mikado, 1 (purps), and 3 dopes.(#1,2 and 3 seedlings)You know how I have been saying that the amount of preflowers on the dopes is strange? Well my dope #1 has trichs all over it and it's like 3" tall. It is growing single blades instead of like 5 finger leaves ust like a typical flowering plant. This plant has never recieved 12/12 light so this is the true test of what's going to happen. That is one of the main reasons I decided to ust keep growing these clones because I'm curious about how they will grow now.
I'll try to get some pics later.

i've had mites and just turned the lights off and gave a good fumigation with "raid flea killer plus" which has pyrethins (a south african violet organic bug killer) as one of its primary ingredients. killed all bugs every time without any other measures taken. i'd then spray one more time after 10 days to get any new hatching's. absolutely harmless to the plants. let the fan dry out the leaves before restarting the lamps. has worked for me lots of times. could do a test spray on a few plants as a precaution. sure beats starting all over. rod.
