Flowering 2 Master Kush

[Weedhound]

Thought I'd do a brief (haha) update on my MK's. They are looking and doing great.....ppms are up to 1200 and not a real flaw on either plant; both looking very gorgeous and happy; growing very well.

So just to screw with things I checked how well the draining was with the roots coming out the bottom (in higromite rocks) To my surprise I discovered that at day24/bloom I am already seeing some PRETTY DAMN large root masses coming out the bottom.....all very white and healthy.....and did I mention PRETTY DAMN LARGE??? It seems to me that whether the holes are 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch or ONE inch those damn roots are going to STILL grow into beasts and clog the holes. I can just see a 8 inch wide taproot coming out the bottom of my hydro setup....if I HAD AN 8 INCH HOLE I THOROUGHLY BELIEVE IT WOULD. :wtf:

So I went ahead and drilled side holes. A ton of them. All over. I could tell that there were already dead roots and fert buildup in the bottoms of the buckets because I then flushed both plants heavily with ph'd ro water. I then measured the runoff. The ph was 5.7 (same ph as the water went in at) but the ppms of the water had gone from 15 to 350. That's ALOT of fert salts etc sitting in there.

Rhizome....I can't prove it but I think the clogging is the answer here. I would never have thought of it without the info you provided me with on the higromite and silica. Thanks. :thumbsup:

PS...aren't you glad this is the BRIEF version.

Doing very well....seem to have taken a jump since drilling new holes and flushing. PPM's are up to 1300 and would like to get them up to 1400 by the end of the week.

Happy plants come from California. :thumbsup:

Love your MKs... mine are blowing up here (despite the fires here and its 93F ), but I have too many rooted cuts now. I guess that is a good problem to have? Hmmm, what to do............

[Weedhound]

MVP I think you should send those poor little things to me immediately and I will give them their honered due

Been reading about the fires....REALLY bad....used to live in So Cal....San Gabriel Valley and the Riverside area. Where are you?

I'm behind the Orange Curtain, so sending them is out of the question. However like any good restaurant, pickup is available

Well keep those little puppies safe from the fires.....and yourself as well. I hear it's not getting any better down there.....everyone evacuating. Fire seasons just ended (yesterday!) up here in the northern part of the state.

Thanks for stopping by Olde English.

I think I got about 3 oz per plant last time I grew the MK BUT I harvested at about 7 weeks instead of letting the plant finish the way I should have. I have, thankfully, since learned to be more patient and expect a better yield this grow. :stoned:

Here's one of the ones I grew before.
