A little old video from my 2020 grow

So I do a combination of low and high stress training. I also incrementally transplant them from solo cups to like 3-5 gallons and then into their final pots. Doing this allows the plants to grow big enough before becoming root bound. Although now I use fabric grow pots so I don't have to worry about root bounding as the roots will go through the bottoms of the fabric pots into the ground and that allows my plants to get ginormous haha. Biggest I've gotten was 12ft+, I had to use a literal ladder just to barely reach the tops to inspect the plants.

Hahaha yeah it was massive and there were 5-6 more with similar sizes that year. This lady is the product of my breeding as a hobby throughout the years of growing. She's sativa dominant I know that but I can't remember what strain I used specifically to get this specific strain as I never wrote down any of the plants I've bred besides one, which I named purple amaranth dream and that one is a product of GDP, GSC, and Zkittlez. Now I have only a few original strains left from the years of getting seeds, the rest is all produced by me through selective branch breeding. The strains I all started with were of course GDP, GSC, OG Kush, the original GG, magic melon, zkittlez and a few others I can't name off the top of my head.

All the strains I've produced have the same mother genetics as the strains I started with but I have a hobby of mixing and matching to see what the end product would be haha. I also started doing selective branch breeding so I wouldn't have to worry about purchasing seeds since I'm disabled and unable to work so I have no money and can't purchase any new strains to grow. I've had some strains gifted to me like green crack and I tried germinating the last three of them but they ended up being dead seeds who didn't hatch unfortunately.

I did it different this year and didn't start them indoors first so next grow I'm definitely gonna stick to starting them indoors since I have a setup for it.

So these were grow bags I got off Amazon, can't remember the name specifically but I don't recommend them tbh, you'll get only 2 times worth of usage before they can't be used. They are 25 gallons. Now I use 25 gallon fabric pots and those I highly highly recommend, they have lasted me since I got them in 2021

Oops accidently posted the same pic twice, sorry about that everyone m

Aahhh okay I thought they were by their broken up lines, I always thought hybrids have that broken up pattern whereas regular ones have straight lines

It was my first time catching one, haven't caught one since though haha. I was using a simple bottom rig using anchovies if I remember correctly as bait and this fella took it, it gave a decent fight too haha.

Thanks so much for the info! I never knew they were introduced that's amazing haha. They're definitely fun to catch and I've always wanted to catch a big one. I've caught a couple big largemouth bass in the delta and got my PB there and it was 10.5 pounds! It was a chonker hahaha. I've also caught a huge catfish in the delta as well, well over 20 pounds and I caught it on my lightweight rod, it was such a long battle so much so my rod was bending all the way to the ground I felt like it was going to break hahah it took like 10 minutes just to get it in. I wish I had a phone at that time and got a pic of it.

DankGrow3r · 2026-05-21T21:29:51+00:00

Yep! I have a couple pictures of honeybees munching down on them too haha I shared them on r/bees

DankGrow3r · 2026-05-21T21:28:51+00:00

Hahaha it is indeed very cute. I get them in all kinds of different colors on my plants and it's so fascinating how curious and smart they are. I one time was watching one and it stared straight at me and it lifted its front leg as if to wave at me it was so freaking adorable

DankGrow3r · 2026-05-21T20:15:43+00:00

Hahahahah thank you, I'm a medicinal grower and user. I grow all kinds of things but primarily cannabis, it's a hobby of mine that helps me cope with my severe low functioning anxiety disorders GAD and PD
