kp's analytical strain study; growers of all strains wanted and welcomed:)

Your Problem can't be as bad as the one in Gnome's "See More Buds" Vids
That is absolutely out of control!!!! Women..They distract you from the important things huh Gnome? heheheh

KP.... DO NOT... kill the spider mites!!! You will need to locate each of them and carefully transplant them to an outdoor location otherwise you will hurt your karma!



Just funnin' Pyrethrens are on the way luv. Kill Those MFers!!!:D

The bombs work and so do the no pest strips, but many folks are dead set against them, but if you hang them up for about a week, just 1 that is, and take down for 3 to 5 days and then hang again you may solve the prob. They carry them at Wally World.
Once you get rid of them you should wash all of your plants off because it is pretty narly smoking bugs, the snap crackle and pop.
Hugs, adieu

Oh yah, you will need to sanatise your dog every few days and keep it out of the room IMO, or it will just become a safe harbor for the buggers, I know it is a hard row to hoe, but the pooch might have to bite the bullet on this one and get used to lounging somewhere else.

That is such a silly image... do you have to bleach him, or stick him in an autoclave... or does Advantix work just as well!? :D

Hi guys and gals, =)
I've been watching and learning from your great expertise for a few months now. I even started my own hydro grow. (doh) Yes, very interesting and fun. I want to thanks you all for being so damn smart and dedicated. I can't wait to see more of the strain guides. It will help me select on my next grow. I inherited an afghan mother and doing some clones at the moment.

you're all the best. =) pnw here btw

I think that a boiling cauldron of 10%bleach, 10% bat wings, 25%horny toads and 55% camel spit should do the trick. Dip pooch twice daily until pooch has eaten all of the Horney toads then dry thoroughly and find him a female pooch, most prefer the Lassie type. LOL
Adieu

guys, i'm laughing so hard i can't type!

miss attic, please let me know if the fogger worked, and what residual effects it may have...

jay, i don't know wether to respond or sue for custody;) rrrrr i hate mites! screw the karma points, these bastards are goin down...

bear, pup is on a product called revolution; if the bugs get on her, they die an excrutiatingly painful death... maybe i should put her bed in the flower box...

bear, i'll try the strips... or maybe a fogger... geez you;re a trip!

duke, hey sweetie, glad to hear you like the thread... come by often:)

ok guys, gotta make the rounds, i'll post an update in a few minutes.

love, kp:p

hey stinky, did you get my email? it's been acting up lately...still waiting to hear back from you.

YES!!

true dat

PICTURE please

kp, got your email, kinda hard to reply... sorry if I reply to the regular addy... that whole hushmail thing baffles me, lol, durrrr.

bear, so funny, my dog is weird about other dogs with the exception of greyhounds and ... SHELTIES!!! She LOVES them. It's really odd.

The fogger works okay... I fogged the veg room once, the flower room once, now I'm waiting a week for all the remaining eggs to hatch and I'm going to do both of them again.

One thing with chemical pesticides is that you can inadvertently end up with a population of pests that has evolved to be resistant, so if you use them at all, make sure that EVERYTHING is DEAD DEAD DEAD. So the next couple weeks I'm doing nothing but killing bugs. boo.

Hey, guys/gals. Don't have much time to type a longer post, but I wanted to stop in and say hi. I saw this thread when it was first started, but then didn't it get moved? ...Or something happened where I lost it. But then kp invited me back over! Thanks kp! :) I'll be checkin' back in later. Gotta go work on the updates for the JOURNAL. Lots of pics at harvest. ;)

Be cool.

ooooh page 3

I'd contribute to this thread, but my grow is not complete yet :)

I am growing NLX, and so far I'd say it's a sativa/indica cross, with stronger indica traits. So far it's been short and bushy with nice fat fan leaves, very short internode spacing (1cm), and good branch growth (1/2cm). And they're only on their third set of fan leaves.

Keep in mind the last time I grew was maybe 25 yrs ago.

This strain so far looks like a good indoor choice, and I expect some bushy bushes and a real explosion once I put them under HPS (currently only flouro's)

Hey Mister E! Haven't seen you posting before welcome. One question for you. Why are you guessing at the sativa/indica blend when you know the genetics? Can't you just look up the actual crosses specifics somewhere?

Hi, I'm sure I could look it up somewhere, but I figured I'd chime in with my impressions based on the look and the way it's growing. Whats a good place to look up some background info? They were freebies.

Freebies huh? You said NLX and I thought you were saying Northern Lights Cross. I figured you knew what the cross was. If not you can't know but if you do know you can search the seedbanks for descriptions and they usually have the blend in there.


Love

Yes they were seedbank freebies, and I presumed NLX = Northern Lights Cross. I'll take a look when I have some time form todays madness. What is it, a full moon?

hi f<r>og! glad to have you back:)

hello and welcome mr. E. hmmm, i'm assuming a factor f-up; northernlightsx? accidental pollenation. prob average height in flower, potent, good yeild...my psycic forecast? 100g...

jaybay B. where's our close ups? how are they doing?

stinky, did not get your reply:(

to everyone... hushmail is being a pain in the ... here's the new email.

[email protected]

3 s'...

to the bear of the blue... got the tub, going to try to get the aquatic stuff this weekend. i put a drain in the bottom of the tub for ease and laziness (in the basement bathroom shower stall). do you think a 42 gal is big enough for 4 clones vegged for a week? i saw those giant rootballs:D

peace and love everybody, i'll be back with an update in a little while.

love, kp:p

i cut down i quarter of the realy bad plant. looked like these branches were dead. other branches seem to be rejuving, growing new white hairs...

should i harvest the rest now? two weeks early...

looks like 20 of 24 clones are rooted. 6 tw's 14 bb's. almost ready for the mini sog:)

tw #3(ref #) is TOTALLY FRIGGIN AWESOME MAN!!!! that's an amen to hps:D i expect yeild to be 1/4lb or better:thumbsup:

bb's are less yeildly, but showed flower 2 weeks after the tw...

man, we gotta get a common time for a daily chat... i'm good for midnight ET.

how about you guys?

love, kp:p

K-pizzle... Here is some canna porn for y'all. My girls are doing well. This is day ummmm....24..started flower on tha 6th. They are just starting to push up some noteable thrichs. I am comfident the will be some slippery slopes worth of their Black Diamond name when they are finished.
So long and Farewell. I must tend to business.

-Jay

I made the pics pretty big so you can zoom in and peep the trichs that are there. -Peace

Well, I've noticed there are a few seeds sold/labeled such as:
Northern Light x Big Bud
Northern Light x Shiva
Northern Light x Haze

But the ones I got were simple labeled "NLX". So some sort of accidental cross pollination could be possible, then tossed in as freebies.

I can tell you that a few of the seeds look immature, and the ones I germed was 1 nice and mature, 1 semi whiteish/immature.

They are showing what could be described as new strain vigor, then again this is also my first hydro grow. From what I see though, if all goes well I'll certainly clone them and maybe if I get a male I'll generate some seed. It looks quite nice and I am absolutely not picky.

KP - Hushmail would not let me see your message today... it keeps saying try back in a few minutes... BAH HUM BUG!!!

iloveyou

I have had problems with the hush as well, oh well, where there's a will there is a way. GK I don't know if you read on another post that I found you posting on, but my wife saw the clip to your vid and about had a hot flash, now she wants me to go full blown. You created a monster with only about 60 seconds of footage.
KP, that tub should be fine, as a matter of fact you have to figure that 5 gallons per plant root ball is good, the only thing you really have to worry about is the top side with the branches crowding in each other in only one tub. Another thing, with the large tubs like that they will suck up alot of nutes, but then on the other hand you will have les tub changes do to PH and so on.
Well, I am getting crowded in my garden and am hoping that about half of the 9 from seed will be male. I have 12 others from seed that I am hopeing the same for. I had my wife take some picks of some stuff tonight, now I have to see if I can get her to post it.
Well nice to have everyone stopping in on here will check back tomorrow.
Bear hugs from Blue adieu

gk, [email protected]

bear, i'd like to try a mini hydro sog...trim all lateral branches, grow the strait rope...

mr. E, i saw someone else with nlx beanies... must be a new thing...

jay, wow...i've not seen better diamonds at zale's!

love, all, gotta go...

love, kp:p

KP, how big is the tub???
Adieu

i think it's 48g... about 2 1/2ft x 3 1/2ft. i'm thinking of something like a bubble cloner, only for sog... vegging for a week, so they stay smaller.

well, got 11 more days! tw is getting FAT! every branch is tied.

bb's are behind... might leave them for an extra week or two.

love, kp:p

is that your dog?

heya KP

Is there a specifc format you want information in? To make it easier to organize? I'd be happy to add my experiences and some pics

KP, that is some of my stock, I put him out on a breeding contract a few years back, but have a 5 month old dauter from him now.
With the tub, you want to use it as a bubble cloner and then transfer to soil? It will work just fine if that is what your thinking. One thing, what are you going to try to use as the medium? Right now I just have mine sitting in the hydro rocks with the stem poking into the water, I may use rappid rooters next time and cut them in half.
Later little goose.
Adieu

no, i was thinking bubble cloner (clone them in the spots that they'll end up being in) turned into a dwc. it's basically the same principle, right?

tkd, any info in your own words, and experiences. trying to get a grower's word on as many strains as possible. any one can read what the banks say, but experience is the true teacher.

love, kp:p

Yes you can do it.
Hope all is ok with you...
Adieu

bear, i need some help. i got the ignitors and bulbs for the new ones, but they don't have an x3 in the long side of the transformer...

can i remove the paper cover and add an x3 line? ought to work, but i need some backup b4 attempting this one.

thanx,

love, kp:p

I am not sure at all to tell you the truth. The one that was sent your way was fairly simple and the others I have I haven't bothered to modify.
Sorry, I will try to do some snooping around and see what I can do.
Adieu

thanx bear, i just need to know about adding the one wire to the long side of the transformer. the wires are run under a piece of wax paper. i may cut one to find out... i need for these to work; i've about 150$ in ignitors and lamps...

love, kp:p

OHHHHHH I would love to see pictures!!!

did you know that?

iloveyou

well, if someone would get me a cam for christmas...

please guys, if you can find a pic of a transformer dismantled, please link it... i need to see the coil without the protective paper on it. so i can see about adding an x3 line for the ignitor.

love, kp:p

could i post my experience of growing my Haze x Skunk?

of course, we'd love to have your report. any and all strains welcome:)

love, kp:p

bear, i'm going to email you tonite... gotta ?q? for you;)

love, kp:p

Just as a note, I've found that the NLX seeds I'm growing are Alien NLX, which they describe as a sativa dominant that is best flowered young else you'll have a forest on your hands.
Now back to your regular programming.

~Haze x Skunk~

Seeds sank in water overnight. Germination took maybe 2 days in paper towel. Broke through dirt the very next day after potting in Foxfarm. Some of the leaves had a slight distortion to them. Leaves were quite large just for 1 week old. Plant seems to not mind high temps. Temps in closet would reach up to 95 degrees farenheit in the summer. This plant takes lots of water with no problem, and responded very well to full strength GH nutes after just 1 week of growth. No signs of burn at all. Responed well to LST.

~description before flowering~
Deep green leaves, very long and thin leaf blades,definatley sativa dominant. Fan leaves had up to 13 fingers. Medium height... sorta mix between bushy and stringy.

~decription during flowering~
Plant at least tripled in size, stems turned red/purple color. Late bloomer, took a week or two to show flowers. Buds are long, light and fluffy. The number of bud sites are insane, the buds are almost the entire length of the branches (if that makes any sense) definatley a good yeilder and the LST helped alot too.


Sorry if this description was bad, this is my first grow/report. :o
