The Playbook for Growing Gary Payton
Gary Payton grows vigorously with an impressive robustness. It is highly adaptable to different growing setups and offers good resistance against diseases and pests. This makes it easy for any grower to score big when it comes to its yield.
Forget the hassle of male plants. The feminized cannabis seeds of Gary Payton only grow beautiful buds. The strain flowers relatively fast, finishing in about 8–9 weeks. The harvest potential is a medium one, but with the right care, you can cultivate generous buds .
Seed Germination
You won’t need a complicated setup or process to germinate our high-quality Gary Payton seeds. The procedure is simple after understanding the three conditions required for germination: water, oxygen, and temperature.
Start with soaking your seeds in water for a day. You can alternatively use a moist towel to wrap them before placing them in a dark place. The seeds will typically sprout in about 2–7 days, after which they are ready for transplanting.
Indoor Growing
An indoor growing setup offers the best results for growers living in harsh outdoor conditions. Indoor setups offer more control of the plant’s growing environment. Here are tips to help you build the perfect setup.
- Selecting the ideal location: Gary Payton requires a bigger tent with adequate vertical space as its plants grow vigorously.
- Ventilation: A good ventilation system helps optimize the humidity levels and keeps the air fresh. Typically, a 60-70% humidity during the vegetative stage and a 40-50% humidity during flowering work best.
- Lighting: Provide about 18-20 hours of lighting during the vegetative stage before switching to a 12/12 cycle during flowering. You can use reflective material to ensure an even spread.
- Growing medium: While a soil mixture works best for newbies, Gary Payton also responds well to hydroponics when properly set up.
Drainage: Excess water could lead to poor nutrient uptake and pests and disease attacks. Use clean water in your Gay Payton indoor setup, watering only after the top inch or two dry out. With a well-draining growing medium and perforated containers, any excess water seeps out with ease.
Pro Grow Tip : If you are growing outdoors, make sure to choose a suitable location with plenty of sunshine to help get the most from this cannabis plant.
Outdoor Growing
With the right outdoor conditions, Gary Payton utilizes the extra space and lighting to stretch out. Here is how to get the best of your outdoor setup.
- Finding the best spot: Go for a spot with plenty of sunlight. This ensures maximum hours of sunlight, especially during the vegetative stage. Your spot should ideally be close to the fence or a potential windbreaker to protect the plants from damaging strong gusts.
- Supporting the branches: With the plants growing vigorously, use stakes or trellises to support the branches. This prevents them from snapping the weight of heavy flowers.
Controlling pests and diseases: While Gary Payton shows impressive resilience, regular inspections are key to capturing any early onsets of these attacks. Prune the plants and keep a clean environment to wade off any pests and reduce the risk of diseases. If affected, use organic sprays like neem oil to prevent further damage to your plants.
Harvesting and Curing
For Gary Payton, harvest time is around the time when the trichomes achieve a balance between cloudy and amber. This is usually around October for outdoor growers. A magnifying glass comes in handy to get it right.
When harvesting, use sharp and clean scissors or pruning shears to trim the buds. Start with cutting the branches off to expose the buds. Handle the buds with care to avoid damaging the delicate trichomes.
Once harvested, hang the buds upside down in a dark room with proper ventilation for 7–14 days. You should maintain temperatures of 60-70°F (15-21°C) and humidity levels around 50-60%.
After the buds have dried, place them in airtight jars, opening them daily in their first week to release any moisture. This prevents mold as the curing process begins. The frequency can then be dropped to once every few days after the first week. Normally, Gary Payton’s flavors and potency develop in 2-4 weeks.
