Kandy Kush (fem) & Blue Widow (fem)

Day 27 pics. The two stars of the show. :)

Pic 4 is an earlier side by side, for comparison.

The KK has caught up to and shot past the others. I know the OG is a runner, but I've never seen the Train Wreck gro out. She'll probably *really* take off after the flip! The growth spurt is pretty apparent in those pics,...and that was 4 days ago.

Tomorrow is transplant day. Due to the KK's pace, I'm skipping the 2 gallon transplant and going straight to the 5's. Another 7 days veg in the 5's will be a lil' shy of my original plan of 42-49 days, but close enough for me. I'd hate to run out of headroom. :o

Cool, that's it. Tomorrow brings it current. After that, weekly updates. :)

I grew out some KK earlier this year. I flipped them into flowering at 16" and they finished off at 46". Each plant yielded 2 quart jars of bud, nicely crystal coated and smelling sweet/dank. No more than 2-3 hits or you're off to "meditation land" in terms of power, too.

Yours is off to a fine start that will bring you a joyous harvest!

Good luck,
M.P.

if your worried about head room its always good to flower early.....even if you have the slightest bit of doubt....flower early!

Personally, when running new strains i like to flower them early anyways to find out the characteristics of the strain....i always take cuts of every plant and label them.....because some of those slow veggers or mutants; sometime turn out to be the best plants..

THe first run with a new strain is like a learning curve....i think its my 4 run with the purple wreck and i think ive finally found her sweet spot! sometimes the first time will be the best, but most of the time it wont! Good luck...the KK looks real interesting....and everything looks great~

Thanks for lookin' in and for the excellent advice. I covet your purple! :thumbsup:


After these two posts I'm more concerned than before. :D Thanks a bunch!! :D

Plan B: I anticipated *some* height issues, so the 5 gal are a low-profile tub style as opposed to a bucket, that buys a few inches. To squeak out another few inches, I'll go with a standard transplant, and the 7 day post-transplant veg will be cut down to just 3 days, just enough to let her settle in...then flip!

I hope that works. Right now, KK is sitting in there @~19". My math says it's time for a bigger tent! :error: lol, never a dull moment. Thanks again, guys.

you might even think about topping them about 3-4 days into flower.....this is a great last attempt to save some height issues....just to make sure you dont have to run into problems in the future!

They look like little trees!! hehe Really great grow man!

:thumbsup:

Hey! Thanks MB! :)


12/12: (day 32) Transplant/feeding day!

Put 4 plants into the 5 gallon pots: BW, KK, X1d, X2d.
All 4 are showing pre-flowers. :thumbsup:
Soil is FFOF with additional perlite and vermiculite added. Soil + amendments mixed ~5:1. 1/2 tbsp each of Indonesian & Jamaican bat guano mixed into top couple inches of each pot.

Squeezed in a 5th plant in a 2 gallon. Plant X1f looks pretty good to me, no pre-flowers, but very "girly" looking. :) This one will stick around as long as it doesn't get in the way. I ran out of FFOF, this one is in MG with added perlite. Mixed about 3:1.

Everybody got the FF Nutrients following week 4 schedule @ 100%.

Pay no attention to the stragglers in the 2 small pots. :wtf: They are only there until they declare sex. If they are girls they'll get a new home, elsewhere. :thumbsup:


The KK is on the run! ;) Gotta get some stuff to stick under the other pots to even things out. I did the BOG style transplant on the other 3 to try and raise 'em up a bit. There's still a bit of difference in the heights.

Gonna keep a close eye on KK! If it looks like she's gonna hit the ceiling, I'll get her what she needs. :dance:

Barring any disasters, the first 12 hr night will be Tues. (35 day veg) :rolleyes:

12/16: (Day 36) Everybody out for a good soaking.
No problems,..yet. ;)

The plant in the 2 gallon pot is throwing pre-flowers now. All five are females. (at least, for now ) :D

The Blue Widow is a real sturdy plant, I hope there's a good reason for those sturdy stems. :) In contrast, everything about the Kandy Kush is delicate. The KK will need some support real soon, she really sways a good bit in the gentle breeze from the fans.

Changed out the MH bulb for the Eye Hortilux EN Super HPS, gave the reflector & glass a good cleaning and re-set the light timer. Tonight should be the first long night.


12/17 (Day 37) Oops. :i feel stupid:
I programmed the timer for 2 "on" events. :rolleyes: This time, for sure... FLIP!


Pics are from day 36.

Here we are @ the end of veg, 37 days;

BW is @ 20"

KK is @ 24"

Now, the fun starts. :) :thumbsup:

Took small cuts off of all five plants. Three each from the BW & KK, one each from the others. Put the cuts into a small home-made bubble-cloner.

This is the first time really using this contraption. :wtf: Wish me luck!
The cuts got a slathering of "Olivias Cloning Gel" (that stuff looks disgusting ) and the water (~ 2 gals) got a couple drops of Superthrive added. Temperature in the dome is about 73F and the clones are lit by one 26 watt CFL, about 15" away.

?? Is the water temp in the cloner very important ?? Should it be warmer than 73F?


MerryPrankster..... If you happen to see this and don't mind answering a couple Q's. I went lookin' for your KK, it certainly looked sweet @ 5 weeks. I was wondering how long she goes in flower, and how far into flower she stretches.


That's it for now. I am outa here for a 10 day stretch. The girls are in capable hands. Here's a couple pre-flower and cloner shots. :)

Wishin' ya'll a great time over the Holiday! :dance:

Love the Multi Tier that you got going on..
Looking forward to how this turns out...
