That's a hell of a photo!!
But yeah, that's what I want to see, hell the lowryder doesn't look like that yet, but I imagine it should in a couple weeks, I guess? I hope!
When do you start to flush DP? I know you like a good amber to cloudy ratio, how do you time that? Do you begin flushing when the plants get to that ratio? Or do you anticipate when they will be there, and start flushing to finish and cut them when they are just getting to the right ratio? Does that make sense?
And yeah, 11 sure seems alot more plausible for my girls the way they are going, we'll see.:jointsmile:
I switch to water only, when the plant basicly quits growing. That is usually around week #9. On my white widows: the fan leaves have turned yellow and fell off, by then. There is never a green leaf left on the plants, at harvest.Quote:

5% - 20% amber trichomes on the average of the whole plant; is good for me..:thumbsup:
I don't even take the cloudy vs. clear; into account. (I would call the amber trichs in that pic- 30-40% amber)
Great set o strains you got workin there skush!!! Keep it up! subscribed*
Well, here we are plugging away.
7ml/gallon pro bloom
5ml/gallon cal mag & hydroplex
That's it.
Flowers are starting to finally bulk up on the MK ladies. AI is still a runt, and lowryder is still flushing, 5 days now and counting. Took another small sample early.
Can't wait to get it out of there so my MK ladies can really spread out and soak up the light.:jointsmile:
sounds cool.
so u got any new pix of em?
check back later tonight. I will post some new pics. personally, I see them everyday so to me they pretty much look the same. but updated pics tonight!Quote:

Enjoy, questions and comments welcomed.
First Set here, all LLLRMI
Flushing, getting ph adjusted ro water, w/ a glop of molasses.
She will get at least one more of these flush feedings, probably Friday, then a final water only super flush, then she will be killed.
I already took fingers and toes.

wow wow wow.
they look super great. I hope that 1 of these days I can (flower) some plant as nice as urs r looken now.:thumbsup:
rock on brotha.
Lookin great mang...MK has been a favorite of mine for a while, I got a few AI seeds I may pop depending on your grow.
Good vibes
:joint1:
Hey wow thanks, you are very kind. To be honest, like when I am taking the pics I am thinking to myself that they don't look that wupee, but the pics look nice. LOL The camera must and something maybe. But thanks for the compliment, don't jinx me though! Still got a little way to go yet, still holding my breath.:stoned:Quote:

Hopefully her small runtness is just due to something that I did, and I can really make the most of her later. I hope! We'll see anyway, now if you will excuse me, I need to go take a shit in my other hand and see....:DQuote:

I wonder, I have read alot of smoke reports here and there about AI, and they always say it is really spicey, harsh, hashy smoke. I wonder if they are like super N sensitive or something. Or they maybe store it longer, or something, I dunno?:stoned:
Wow, those ladies are sexy! Sorry to see you lost one. you made the right choice. Ive had to face the same decision and Ive rarely regretted it. Looks like you'll have plenty come harvest time. :jointsmile:
[attachment=o209138]
Thanks for the help with the pics! Heres a little something I took down last week to say thanks!
That's a nice chunk! Looks yummy.:)
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Man I can't help but think I am off on my days of flowering. I am going to double check that some time later.
Tonight I chopped the lowryder, because I am impatient.
Anyway, it's drying and I will take some pics sometime.
Fed everyone else,
7ml/gallon Pro Bloom
5ml/gallon Cal Mag and Hydroplex
A glipty glop of molasses. \
Ph 6.7 in
Ph out, who cares!
Had to turn my oscillating fan down to low, the big MK lady is so damn top heavy, she just gets a going, and I can see her just snapping somewhere.
I roped her off, and tried to corral her a little to limit the movement. Fingers crossed!
They are all just puking white pistols out everywhere, trichs look clear to cloudy, 50/50 I guess, I dunno?
That's it.:thumbsup:

Hey don't know what is up? Said server busy for about 10 minutes, tried on and off, somehow post my post multiple times. Sorry?:wtf:
Tonight they start Day 54.
So that's what?
Beginning, Week 8.
I looked a lil', no sign of amber yet. Still many clear trichs actually, some cloudy, it maybe half and half more or less here or there.
I am hoping they will really start to pack on some density and bulk.
Hey WT, does 8 weeks seem long to flower MK? Anyone else know either? I am sure it varies based on where it's from, (different breeders, clones etc..) just curious to hear some other MK experiences?
On that note, anyone have any opinions on the difference between the 2 different phenos (Big and Branchy , as opposed to the more classice Indica type?)
Between the 3 more indica phenos, It looks like there are 2 slightly different variations in that mix as well?
Just curious.
As for flowering time, I guess weed doesn't understand how to read a gregorian calendar?
From the breeders, (Nirvana), the MK is "8/9 weeks" and the AI is 7/8 weeks.) Go figure, I shit in my pants and post it on line if the MK is done this or next week! Yeah right. As for the AI, it's exactly as described, except the part of "7/8 weeks" flowering time. Not exactly, but I dunno? Maybe it's just mine, and I did something wrong? Love to know what others experiences are?:)
I think?
So I am getting ready to begin week 8, pretty sure.
Fed tonight
I played around with it a little, left out the molasses,
7ml Pro Bloom
7ml Cal Mag
5ml Hydroplex
ph @ 6.7,
That's it. Flowers all looking fine, I guess. Stinky and sticky, I gave everyone a good firm squeeze, not anything crazy, just checking density I guess.
The AI isn't is sticky, but it's also kinda greazy? Greazy/stickyish.
What does anyone think about just feeding them every time, no breaks in between from here until they need flushed, next year or whenever that may be.:wtf: (Just kidding, I dunno how long they have left, just wish they were more mature than they are now.)
Those seed companies must have their times based on just all cloudy trichs, I guess? Mine are going to be 25% longer or more maybe, I betcha. What do you all think, seedbank descriptions for flowering times a little low eh? Is it something that I am doing or is this pretty common?:jointsmile:
Just looked in, the girls all are really looking great! So excited, it's hard to pull myself away from them.
The AI looks the least mature, as far as trichs, many more clear than any of the MK.
The MK are all more cloudy than clear. Still some clear though, no amber yet.
They are starting to get a nice sugary glazed look to them now that the trichs are turning from clear. They are all still just puking, erupting thick pistols in bunches on every place possible. No noticeable slow down on pistol production yet.
IDK? If there really is? I assume there is I guess.
Would love to get some pics, but too blown and tired for that right now, I will post some in a few days, there will be more to see the longer I wait.:jointsmile:
Well, here are a couple pics of choice nugs.
It gets the job done, I should have let it go longer.
Tastes like shit, as expected, it's not cured.
It does taste good vaped.
Very stoney at first, then finishes up? Wierd huh? :wtf: Keeps me up late.

I would probably consider it very good mid grade. It's not as dense as I prefer, and the effect is so so.:jointsmile:
It was 1 hit quit for my wife LOL!:D
Well, nothing too exciting here.
They are getting stinkier and stickier, as expected.
Ho Hum
Fed
5ml/gallon Cal mag +
A "3 Count", (1 Mississippi, 2, ect, ), probably about a tablespoon of molasses, ppm with cal mag, molasses and ph up adj were right at about 400, so the girls are getting a break from their normal full feeding routine. I will go back to the normal next go around with
5ml/gallon CalMag, Hydroplex, and 7ml/gallon of pro bloom, w/ a touch of molasseses. This gets me to about 1000 ppm, give or take, and it's about the limit on these I guess? I dunno? They started to get what looked like tip burn, just barely, consistantly on all the plants, a few funny looking leaves too, may be heat/light related, but may be overfert too? In any case, nothing to get worried about, and I think I slowly made my way to their limit. It'll be intresting down the road to see if the clones go the same way as far as nutrient levels..
Later.:D
hey for your lowryder plant did you flush it? cuz if not thats probably why it tastes wierd.. or cure longer? looks good tho:jointsmile:
I don't know why I can't keep it straight. This is day 59, I am pretty sure I got 1 day ahead of myself.
Anyway, just peeked in on them, moved them around "GENTLY".
I have to say that I am disappointed with the trich production on the AI, just not much of it. And, all her pistol hairs are like banana yellowish, or dark creamy yellowish. More so than any of the MKs.Probably something I did, or just dumb luck the 1 female of the 10 was all retarded to begin with. I dunno?
I hope that I am looking for the right things as far as trichs.
Let me tell ya,
those little shiny things, all over my plants, I use a 30x lens, they are all still fucking cloudy, a few still clear. NO AMBER NONE NADA.
So I am just wondering if this grow seems to be going normally? As far as timeline for MK? Getting ready to start Week 8 flowering? WTF? No signs of amber yet? NOrmal? Yes? NO?:wtf: I have read through some and the fuckers are harvesting in like week 6 and shit! WTF!!:mad: These plants, the ones I have now, there's just no fucking way! Week 6?! Is my flowering time prolonged? Did I do something that may have lengthened it?
Did I botch this somehow?
Do I just need to be more patient?
WTF is going on here?
Of maybe I am just a fucking idiot, and somehow I am fucking up looking at the trichs through the loupe thing. But I don't think that's it. It better fucking not be anyway! If that's it then I will just go end it all now and take a long leap off a short cliff.:wtf:
What's the score here anyway?:wtf:
I will check them again tonight with the lens, I thing, 1 of the triplet MK ladies, alot of her pistols turned light orangeish red on her top cola and some side colas. So that's something I guess? Maybe if I catch the light right it will make some trichs look amber, due to the reflection.:wtf: I have tried to take some pictures of trichs, but they never ever turn out good enough to post, nothing can be gleamed from them. Any suggestions as to how to do this, I got lets see, it's a digital god damn camera, and my 30x. So I guess if it requires anything beyond that, it ain't gonna happen, so maybe if someone could just tell me at least so I stop trying to take the pics, that'd be good.:)
Sorry, I am just getting a lil' nervous.
I keep having bad dreams that the big branchy ass lady MK just falls over on her self and "self harvests".
Or some shit like, I come home and I can hear my sexual predator cat locked inside during lights out just tearing shit up!
AWWWWWWWW!:stoned:

But, I probably won't ever try to grow it again, I am more interested in traditional strains I guess, even getting a full oz, I just don't see how it's worth the trouble I guess. Not for me anyway. But it is neat I guess, and they were free beanies, so hey alright!:thumbsup:
I am guessing I got about 12 to 13 grams out of that. Not the 2 nugs in the photo, the whole plant. That's not too much! In fact, that ain't enough thar! But it was fun, and an experience.:jointsmile:
Try one of the white strains, next time...8182Kush...:thumbsup:...Now's a good time to order.
ex. white widow, white russian, white rhino, ak47, etc., etc....:rhinoceros:
Well, anyway, I took a look see, and I am making progress I guess.
Most are all still white, cloudy, but some are beginning to turn amber I think, I would not say they are amber, but they are on their way. Just starting to change from the white, cloudy, they almost look like they are clear, but I think that most of them like that are just starting to change to amber.
One of the MK ladies, had maybe 1 that I saw that might have been amber I guess, it was on a bud leaf. It's trichs anywhere right? All over the plant? In the FOV?
To be honest, I would love to try many of the strains you mentioned Dutch! I almost got the white rhino but nirvana was out at the time, so I got the AI instead.
As far as ordering seeds, just too paranoid anymore, right now. I have no wheres safe to send them, and I don't want them getting intercepted en route to my address. We cannot have that. Fuck no!:D
Maybe I will come across a clone though. Or maybe cannabis gods will just gift me a treasure trove of varying genetics!
Or maybe I will just order some more seeds some day, probably. I kinda have my eye on DNA Genetics LA Con, it's just such a crap shoot picking good breeders, there is alot out there. I would really like to get some ATF too, but I haven't seen it. I am sure someone sells the beans though.
But listen to me,
I told myself NO MORE ORDERING, this is supposed to be a perpetual grow, trying to salvage moms from these girls. I want to perfect the fastball first before I learn to throw the slider. I am sure I have plenty of tweaking that I can do to the genetics that I have, and I have all the time in the world to do it I guess. Some day once I get this down pat, I will branch out into the realm of other genetics, unless god drops them in my hand on a light beam from a cloud in the sky.
But like I said, I will probably be ordering when I can. Probably not anytime this year though, or next. We'll see.:)
Snapped some more photos.
Love to hear what you all think as far as how much more they will add on, or how long they may go.
