Granddaddy Purp 1st Grow

Hey BP,

I had already extended her late veg for 2 weeks. She just today (day 2) has started the transition stage…

Does she look healthy? Thanks for saying that! This has me on edge. Just trying to make sure I do right by her!

She does look really healthy and don’t worry!
Have you been using your grow journal?
If not I recommend it so that the next time you grow this strain you will know what you wish to change.
I can only tell you that I would have stayed in late veg longer to get a larger crop but your plant looks very good! No worries!

Bp… thank you so much for making me feel at ease!! This is truly a journey and I’m trying to respect the experience!
I kinda started the journal but haven’t kept up with it since I write about it on this platform. I like it here! It’s helpful & informative! I’ve mostly learned a lot from your advice! Thank you!
I didn’t leave her longer in late veg because I’ve never read anyone talk about more than a 2 week extension. I would have probably left her longer but it’s ok. Lessons learned!

My last grow I pretty well lollipped until I went into transition. You don’t need anything under your canopy going into transition it’ll stretch and grow back in my opinion. To me it’s just wasted growth cause your going to cut a bunch off. But I would say clean up the bottom half of your plant bare for starters
Even that bottom most branch that has got lost in the growth. I would just cut it right off cause it’s just going to be larfy buds. Being your first grow if you just wanna let it go and do it’s thing that’s fine too, then you know what to do next time.

Day 71
Flower Stage
(Day 5 /50)

Hey Growerz!

Just completed her water change. She is in her 5th day of the Flower Stage. @Russel_Richardson I did as you said a removed that lower branch that was doing nothing. I’ve watched the videos and done my research but I still am sort of hesitant only cause I am not sure whether it’s still the right time to lollipop her. I feel like I want to remove all the needless leaves just not sure if I can or should.

Here are her pics from today…

Blesssings, health and wellness!

Looks good man! Just by looking at the first pic the smaller leaves that are in the shadow and the inner growth there can be removed, also look for inner bud sites that might not make it cause that’s wasted energy.
I understand the hesitation lol. But as long as they are healthy, which yours is super healthy, they’ll recover without skipping a beat. Just don’t take off more than half your plants foliage or it could shock it. My last grow I was pretty aggressive and she didn’t seem to mind whatsoever. The “rule of thumb” is never more than 20% at a time and allow for recovery. But I’ve done a little more. It’s all trial and error my friend! :beers:

Just hooked her up with a little shape up! :crazy_face::call_me_hand:

Tried to maintain only 20%. I may have done just a tad more but she looks better now…

Thanks a bunch!!

I wouldn’t be worried it looks okay. I would just strip it bare below my line, no sense in leaving little stragglers :+1:


Could even go higher but I’m just not sure how much higher your canopy goes. But for sure below.

Day 75
Flower (Day 9 /50)

Hey growers! Hope everyone is safe and healthy!

Just wanted to share some pics. I think she looks good and healthy but you be the judge!

Please fill me in on any advice of what I should be doing right now. I received the week 11 notification. Since I extended her for 2 weeks I am extending the week 11 instruction.

Thanks growers!

Hell yea man, noob here as well. Super stoked to have stumbled across the Grobo and even happier to have joined this bad ass community, what an incredible wealth of knowledge and awesome people always willing to lend a hand. It really is cool to think all of these individuals from many different backgrounds and lifestyles all coming together and bonding over a beautiful flower.

The Grobo has become my latest obsession :rofl:. I have done a handful of effective mods to my unit and the closet where it lives (it’s hot in there with everything running, most of the work I’ve done is focused on heat reducation). I’m collecting photos and writing explanations for each, and will be posting them in my “introduction” post when my GDP pops. Keep up the good work man, happy to be on the squad and look forward to growing with you brother. :facepunch:

Looking good dude. Just tuck some of those leaves down under to expose some of the other bud sites, that aren’t getting full exposure.
