Germination: Starting Your Georgia Pie Grow

The paper-towel method works perfectly for these feminized seeds.

  • Place seeds between damp (not soaked) paper towels
  • Sandwich them between two plates to retain warmth and darkness
  • Maintain ~70–75 °F
  • Once taproots reach ½ inch, transplant root-tip down about ½ inch deep
    ⚠️ Avoid sealed plastic bags, ventilation prevents rot.

Week 1: Seedling Stage

Keep conditions gentle and steady while roots establish.

  • Light: 18–24 h cycle at low intensity (24–30″ away)
  • Humidity: 65–70%
  • Temp: 72–77 °F
  • Lightly mist soil — avoid overwatering
  • Provide gentle air movement
    Healthy seedlings will have bright green leaves and upright stems by the end of the week.

Week 2: Early Vegetative Growth

The first sets of fan leaves expand and roots anchor strongly.

  • Begin LST (low-stress training) to spread growth
  • Feed ¼-strength veg nutrients
  • Humidity: 60–65%  Temp: 73–78 °F
  • Water slowly around outer root zone
    Balanced growth now creates a strong base for flowering.

Week 3: Veg Expansion

Georgia Pie starts to fill out quickly with dense leaf clusters.

  • Height: 10–14 inches
  • Humidity: 55–60%  Temp: 73–78 °F
  • Increase feed to ½-strength nutrients
  • Optional: Top above 5th node to encourage more colas
    You’ll notice the signature sweet baked aroma developing slightly.

Week 4: Pre-Flower Transition

The plant is preparing to bloom.

  • Defoliate lower leaves for airflow
  • Reduce humidity to 50–55%
  • Keep temps steady at 72–78 °F
  • Transition to bloom nutrients next week
  • Switch to 12/12 lighting indoors
    Small white pistils will appear. The flowering phase is beginning.

Week 5–6: Flower Initiation

Your Georgia Pie plants begin to stretch and form bud sites.

  • Light: 12/12 cycle
  • Humidity: 45–50%  Temp: 70–77 °F
  • Switch to bloom feed (high P & K)
  • The sweet-pastry aroma intensifies
    Train lightly to keep an even canopy.

Week 7–8: Bud Formation

The buds thicken and trichomes start shining.

  • Humidity: 40–45%  Temp: 68–75 °F
  • Keep consistent bloom feeding
  • Ensure strong airflow to prevent mold
  • Add support if buds get heavy
    The scent deepens into a sweet, fruity mix with mint and cookie undertones.

Week 9: Ripening & Flush

Time to flush and prepare for harvest.

  • Use pH-balanced plain water for 5–7 days
  • Temp: 65–70 °F  RH: 35–40%
  • Watch trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber
  • Harvest when pistils are 70–80% darkened
    Expect dense, frosty nugs with an incredible sweet-fruit profile.

Harvest & Curing

  • Dry: Hang buds in dark space ~60 °F / 55% RH for 10–14 days
  • Cure: Transfer to glass jars and burp daily for a week
  • Cure 3–4 weeks for peak flavor and smoothness
    Proper curing locks in Georgia Pie’s signature dessert-sweet aroma.

Gary Payton

Michael ClintMarch 27, 2024

I’ve been growing weed for 30+ years, and to be honest, it’s quite difficult to surprise me. After a few decades of facing different strains, changing growing conditions, and solving whatever problem you could possibly think of, by then, I believe I’ve seen it all in cannabis growing.

Gary Payton defied every single one of my expectations.
The plant thrived, growing to an impressive 6 feet in what seemed like a blink of an eye. It quickly filled out with buds and displayed better smell each day, showing solid proof of superior genetics. The buds were tight, aromatic, and a source of immense pride, surpassing the outcome of many of my previous endeavors.

Hypno Seeds with their Gary Payton strain has won my complete admiration and loyalty. Outstanding genetics in this plant have truly turned what I always thought of to be an experiment with negligible expectations into one of the most satisfying grows of my long career.

Looking forward, my excitement for the next growing season is unparalleled. I can’t wait to see how much I can take these strains, especially with the attention that Gary Payton really does deserve right from the start.

Blackberry Kush

WhildGreeneryMarch 28, 2024

Starting my latest grow, I decided to try out some Blackberry Kush from Hypno… I planted her on a whim alongside my other favorites. Hypno Seeds said it had to be a powerful plant with rich, fruity scents… Seeing is believing. She developed purplish hues and dense resin coated buds and quickly took center stage in my garden and produced much more than expected. The buds are tightly packed, literally bursting with the heady aroma. The yield? Very impressive for her conditions…
