Growing Gary Payton XXL Feminized

Gary Payton XXL Feminized is a balanced hybrid, but indica genetics contribute more to the overall growth pattern. The name of this strain is directly connected to Gary Payton, a retired basketball player. The lineage is a cross of Y Griega and Snowman. Y Griega, aka The Y, is a sativa-dominant plant credited for the 50% sativa influence.

The flowering period of Gary Payton XXL Feminized is a trait passed down from its parental lineage, Snowman, and this plant is ready to harvest around 55 to 60 days after initiating the flowering stage. Although most of the physical traits look indica-dominant, the sativa genetics contribute to the overall height. Indoors, Gary Payton XXL Feminized can grow to 120 to 140 cm, whereas outdoors, it can reach over 160 cm.

Tight internodal spacing gives rise to a compact, densely foliated plant. This configuration maintains a condensed form with robust lateral branches, ideally suited for accommodating these plants' substantial yields. Indoor growers in controlled environments have reported yields ranging from 475 to 525 grams per square meter. Outdoor growers have recorded yields of 550 grams or even higher per plant.

Buds develop into substantial, robust flowers characterized by their impressive size. The bud's density results from the tightly clustered and swollen bracts. During the latter flowering stages, a vibrant purple hue blends with the thriving green foliage, and Gary Payton XXL Feminized thrives in Mediterranean climates. Training techniques like Sea of Green (SOG), Screen of Green (SCROG), supercropping, and lollipopping can help boost overall yields.
