I’ve been growing Irie Genetics for about a year now and have finally worked some other breeders into my grow flow. I was wanting something OG leaning so I landed on the Asphalt plant from Humboldt Seed Company and have been deciding which pheno to keep out of three ladies. It was formerly known as Venom OG and is now marketed as “All Gas OG”. I would say that the gas is strong with this line and it didn’t disappoint. I really stress tested these plants (not on purpose) with letting them get almost rootbound (had many preflowers before 12/12) and starting off with low temps (~70) when the flower period started and two of the phenos threw some late nanners (maybe got two seeds total though off the first pheno I harvested a month ago) but this one girl did not, so based on that I’m leaning on her being the winner for sure. Only have the final smoke test left to do to decide. They start to fade to dark purple around the end of week 7 without an additional molybdenum input early and these were grow with Nectar for the Gods Nutes (an adjusted spartan regimen) with Stout MSA, Cannabis FPJs, and Recharge!!
Also, I’m so glad Scotty finally got the meaning of my name on the show the other day. I hope everyone in the dgc is “Philling Goude” and growing strong! #growerslove
Hey hey, she looks beautiful! So I have this girl in my stable also. Dark Heart did the hunting for me though. Humboldt seed co. Is the breeder though still. So this is what I learned…. it is the canary in the room for sure on temps. If you go purple all over early…. you tooooooo cold. It really seems to retard the plant. You want trichomes, lotta light! As your plant shows, staying green longer is much better for full development. I have found I don’t wanna see dark on anything but the bud until the very end. Also, if you don’t want larf, gotta prune like a plum on anything that not getting enough light. Loses a lot of water weight and likes to be monitored heavily durning drying so it dosent get away from you too quickly. Yeah it will pop peckers for real if the temp and light conditions are not met. That’s a hint she is no longer trusting your methods I guess or her location. Take a room and you quickly see the fickle nature of this bazar little freak. So cool to see another one of us with it ,and doing a good job it looks like
Thank you! It is cool to know someone else in the dgc is running this plant also! But I agree, I really only want to the bud to be dark but the plants are nice to look at when they fade and I definitely saw what low temps can do at the beginning of flower, they like never stretched so I never really got much of a chance to spread them out over the tent. But I was thinking that OGs have a decent herm potential so I didn’t want to only base the my choice off that. But for one not to herm after that rigamarole could potentially mean something good. Hoping she tastes and medicates the best though just to make the decision easy. I’ve still haven’t made the call between my two lemon Jeffery phenos that I’ve been growing for over a year now. One makes beautiful flower and the other yields high on rosin, so I’m not the best at making a final cut lol. But I still have one vegging plant of all the asphalt phenos so anything is still possible. I want to grow the late herm ones again and see if a gentler touch keeps them from going rogue. Also I took these plants down at day 66, about how long do you let yours go?
Well I am going for 70 . I wish I had some of that lemon jeff
Well we certainly know how it got its name. I like the cheeto-dust finish on it.
“If you go purple all over early…. you tooooooo cold. It really seems to retard the plant.” Had the same problem here during midwest winter months. Turned an entire grandaddypurple bright magenta.
Thank you Jesus! Now will you please go to my mentors house and explain that to him! He seems to think it’s just wonderful when they get all purple right off. Still argues that being on cement cold floor is not big deal. Unbelievable really
He’s got a cement floor too? That explains it.
He’s out of control
I bet he pours refrigerator temp water on his plants too.
Not for nothing but some varieties just contain more anthocyanin (that which makes the purps) and it will express very early in flower. Yes the cold can increase the expression of anthocyanin, but cold is not the factor that makes them purple, red, pink, etc. It must have a level of anthocyanin, carotene or other color forming chemicals in the variety for the flowers to show colors. The Forbidden Fruit I ran (crossed to) always shows purps in week 3 or 4 wether hot or cold, indoor or outdoor. But outdoor with some cold swings she was definitely more purp!
