John Stonedwell Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hi folks, So I haven't been active on the forum for quite some time as life got a bit hectic but hey, what's new.. I decided to post this short and sweet grow diary for anyone who is perhaps interested in growing some specific strains to have an idea of what they might get. Most of the tent is currently filled up with some Old School Genetics strains from @Golden-Goose Lineup as follows: Orange Road - OSG Old Widow - OSG MOB x Old Widow - OSG Blue D no.5 - OSG Larry OG - OSG Chempie - Ripper seeds MOB - TH Seeds Start of grow: With this grow I didn't want to spend a shitload to get it started. I used old Freedom Farms soil from previous grows. No amendments just a decent flush that left the soil rather barren. The idea was to then use left over Biobizz Grow and Seagro to get the adequate nute levels. This was a bit difficult at first but turned out alright at the end of the day. I chose a very cold and kak time to germinate the seeds and didn't have any heating pad to assist with the process. Nevertheless I only lost two seeds and had extras of them so could germinate again. With the wonky circumstances the Orange Road came out like a little mutant plant and I almost wanted to yank it and start over. A buddy advised that I let it be and boy was I happy that he suggested that, you'll see why soon. Mutant Orange Road: Vegetative stage: With all going on life wise my vegetative stage was rather uneventful. I didn't go with my original mainline training technique that I normally do and only decided to do a very late topping that I would come to regret later in flowering as stems started to flop around like a politician trying to explain himself out of kak. With the late topping I also didn't allow for a decent amount of mains to really have that even canopy and baby arm sized nugs. By this stage the Orange Road recovered but was lagging a bit in terms of size. Random Veg pics: Flowering stage: Things started to get quite interesting in the flowering stage.... I noticed distinct differences with the morphology of some of the strains. The MOB from TH Seeds was extremely bushy with exceptionally tight internode structure. The Chempie by Ripper seeds started to scare me with her stretch. I have never had a plant stretch like this. More than double the height from the flip which was mad. I could see some staking will need to done on that lady. Atleast my lighting set up has 3 different lights that are adjustable so that saved my ass with her crazy stretch. Eskom also completely fucked me without remorse and the intermittent light might have messed a bit with the plants.. I unfortunately had a hermie situation with the MOB x Old Widow by OSG at week 4 of flower and had to unfortunately chop her down.. here are some pics Chempie Stretch Hermie Late Flowering stage: At the moment I am close to the end of week 8 of flower and some beautiful terps are pushing through and buds are starting to fatten up nicely. Favourite strain in the tent is the Orange Road. She is a beast on all fronts! Frost on point, terps a mixture of gas and citrus and gargantuan buds. All the OSG strains have decent tricome production and amazing terps. The Larry OG has very unique bud development and look like stacked clubs. Blue D no.5 very long colas with quite a nice berry smell to her. Old Widow is nice and compact with quite typical White Widow structure. MOB by TH Seeds is rather disappointing on the size front but rather generous with the tricome so might make a great press for rosin. Chempie could have had bigger buds if I defoliated better and trained more rigorous but all in all it will still be smokable product. Here are pics as of today Orange road: Old Widow: MOB: Chempie: Blue D no.5: Larry OG: So that in a nutshell is my budget/not enough effort grow to date but I am quite happy. The strains are very impressive and hopefully some fade in the final stretch will prevail and a good drying, curing and smoke that lies ahead. Will do some last updates to the diary as we move through the final stages. I hope this helped some folks who were pondering about the OSG stable. Cheers 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden-Goose Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hey bud, I like the short and sweet style of your journal. I'm looking forward to the smoke report. By the way... Orange Road ranks as one of my all time greatest smokes. We didn't find that particular pheno. That distinction goes to a customer of ours. We are desperately trying to get our hands on that cut. Negotiations are under way, and we have been promised a cut in about a month. Fingers crossed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't really have time to deep dive on the diary but atleast I was able to give some perspective on the OSG range. Orange road is also looking bang on and smells insane. A buddy has a cut and will run her in coco with scrog so she might even express better under the more ideal circumstances. Hopefully she smokes just as well and will make sure to close of with some feedback. Cheers 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OSG packs come with 5 seeds so will run some of the same strains again in the future to see if I can get different phenos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stonedwell Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hi folks. Some photos of the ladies at week 8 and a half. Will give some a closer look this weekend to see if some will get chopped down.

John Stonedwell Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi folks, I harvested all 6 ladies today on day 68. Beautiful terps pushing through and rock solid nugs on most plants. Orange road has a pronounced citrus/gas terps. Old Widow and MOB might be oneasier of my favourite terp profiles. Will post some nug pics and smoke report in a couple of weeks.

Yeah I could have probably pushed a little more. Unfortunately they are upside down in the closet already... Next time I will look to wait for a bit more fade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always sample straight off the vine. Haha yeah only put the plants through the trim bag yesterday. Will give them at least 2 weeks in the jar before the taste test. But looking and smelling great already 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
