First time grow KC Brains Skunk #1 & White KC

Yea I haven't seen those nutes mentioned on here before just happened to be the ones that came with the kit I bought. Will just have to see how they go and if need be change when I have to buy nutes to one which is used by folks here.

Think I will change to the HPS light and flower cycle next Friday that will be them at 5 weeks and from what Ive read on your log about size issues it would probably best suit my system to not have them to big.

Have you managed to try any of that plant you harvested yet?

Yes we tried some last night....my hubby thinks its the bees knees...I quite like it but can't say its the best thing I ever had. It does have a nice smooth flavor that we both like too. :thumbsup: It very may well be because of the early harvest that we aren't getting the full effect....lots of trichs but the second layer of them is all clear. .....that's why I'm letting the rest get as crusty as possible . :stoned:

Lucky hubby not only can the missus bake some lovely brownies & cakes, but you can also grow the ingredients. :thumbsup:

Sounds like the plant is still a better buzz than the eurorocky available here, although I also prefer an indica couchy stone when I'm chillin. :stoned:

I'm just hoping I get some decent buds out of my plants so I can cure them properly like the imported buds I get fom my friend down south & like I used to get in the eighties over in NA instead of the wet stringy buds of average homegrown that folk around where I live try to palm of as buds which are heavy in resin.

Had a rethink about my cycle timing when I got up today. Checked the plants and they have grown from 7 - 8" on Friday to 10 - 11" this morning. Going to set the timers & change the bulb tonight so tomorrow the plants should wake up to 12/12. Can I still take cuttings if I do this or should I leave the system on Veg until I take the cuttings. Would liked to have waited until sex showed before taking the cutting but no big issue if I can't & I'll just throw the ones which are taken from males which are identified later.

Jack you are venturing into something I know nothing about....cloning. Never tried it (so far) and never even seen a true clone in real life. Yes, I'm very stunted, I'm sorry, lol.

The difference in ganja are amazing aren't they? So many different strains, types etc. That's part of what makes it so much fun....trying all the different things. :jointsmile:

Ps the other main thing in growing your own is having FRESH weed available. Having always bought before (and of course you don't know how old what you bought is) the first time I smoked some fresh grown quality weed I was completely blown away. You will be too. ;)

lol can't imagine how much of a midget I am if your growing experience is stunted. :S2:

Ive done a bit of reading so far on it pretty sure I got the process down with the rooting gel the propogator, wilt preventer & making the cut under water. From what I have read I should be able to take cuttings from all of the plants in one go setting them into a cup of water for each plant & then sit at the table making the diagonal cut & puting them into the rockwool medium. SOme bits I have read say you can take cuttings during flowering others say the plants needs a period of vegging to recover. Having to think about it a bit sooner than expected as the plants seem o be stretching a bit over the last two days fighting for the light. I'll leave it tonight & get the cuttings done tomorrow maybe someone with experience of cloning will chime in recomen whether to hold of flowering.

Ive bought all my stash for the last 28 years ( Ok I own up to being one of the oldies around :jointsmile: ) although it has been in a few countries & some have definitely been better than others. Nice to get a change & I think I will be giving a big thumbs up to fresh buds of my own if all goes right. As I get more grows under my belt there is defnitely some sativa's I want to grow for the trip down memory lane. Over here is pretty sh*te for commercial smokables really. You get this eurorocky which is 20% real hash, 20% some sh*t they couldn't sell last week, 40 % henna wax & 20 % plastic shopping bags to hold the rebind together. The herb market depends on location & main source of supply some folk I know only sell commercial quality nice & cured buds, but could be pretty old really others even frieds I know who grow have a tendency to get bit by the greed bug and sell wet buds. But thats not as bad as some prats who actually steam it over the kettle. Another benfit of growning is getting totally out of the commercial dealer scene.

The only two things I know about clones are that they like humidity and they like warm temps. That's it. Fini....;)

I believe i may have tried some of the plastic bag and henna wax weed you mention. Our suppliers around here .....when you can get anything....are pretty much the mexican brick elephant stomped on stuff thats full of crushed seeds etc. The thing is I know there are tons of secret growers just like me that are doing the same thing I'm doing. We need to UNITE!! :thumbsup:

Besides having weed when I need it..which may be part of the dealer issue really....getting away from the whole dealer thing in general is HUGE to me. The worrying, the waiting, the wondering,the paranoia, the rip offs blah blah blah all completely suck and I don't miss it at all. ;)

PS....shhhh you arent the only oldie hobbling around here.... :D

when it comes to something being easy i take that road cause i have no patience for mixing this and that and so on.

so i found water cloning, there is nothing expensive required, nothing to mix or add, simply take a cutting and place the stalk in water and thats it.

i will admit its a slow ass method taking 3 weeks before a clone has roots but i found if you add a aquarium air pump to provide oxygen to the stalk the roots come in much faster at about 10-14 days.

try both ways if you have the 10 bucks to spare for a air pump and stone and see what you like better.

LOL Good to hear WH :jointsmile:

Hi Invision thanks for the info, the process taking time is no problem in fact the longer it takes is better for me as I would need to set up another veg area. Can you tell me if its alright to do it to plants in the first week of being put into the flower cycle?

Well went for it today on the cuttings. Used the root gel & meium method as thats the one I have done the most reading on. Left the plants in 18/6 veg cycle & will change it now on Friday again give them a chance to recver from any stress.

Like the sound of the Co-op WH, I'm going to help a friend set-up if I'm successful with these clones & this grow the plan is that we should be rotating harvests.

Jack do us some clone photos when you can.....:)
