The KK is acting-up. Some of the fans are looking a lil' funky, looks like a pH problem, but localized to random areas of the plant. <shrug> KK doesn't like something, I just don't know what, yet. It seems too early for her to start consuming herself. :wtf: She's still a loong way from being done.

The "problem-child".
Never a dull moment wit' a Bag-Seed in the house.
X1d showed me a "nanner" at the last watering. I plucked it and tried to keep an eye on her. This time she showed several...

...I'll teach her how to bake tomorrow.

The X2d is just a beast. This one will love the extra room. If she doesn't hermie, I think this will be the producer of the group. The physical size of the individual flowers dwarfs the BW or KK, you can tell she's gonna chunk-up pretty good. Starting to show some trichs now, too. Nice clean "citrus" type of smell to her. So far, a pleasant surprise.

Took the 2 lowest branches off the KK and got 7 new cuts. Curious to see how long it takes to root from flowering.

One of the original KK cuts taken in December, finally popped a root at 4 weeks on the nose. It was the smallest cut taken back then, I tossed the lighter on the deck for scale.

Of the cuts transplanted last week, I lost one each of the BW and KK. I think I watered them in with the wrong jug. :jointsmile:
Instead of a really dilute nute mix, I believe they got a dose of FF @ full strength. Burnt to a crisp...

took my flowering cut 3 weeks to root.. well it only took a week to root but then it took more like 2 1/2 weeks after rooting to really start to grow.. something about having to reveg
good luck.. and how did you get so many cuttings off 2 branches? i had to cut like 9 branches to get 9 cuttings

Looking great! Loving the dayglo pistils.

Thanks, hehe...break out the black-lights!

THose are lookin real nice cartman !!

Thanks Charbud!

Thanks MG, I was figuring 'round about a month. The roots came on strong after about 4-5 days. Waiting on the greenery, now. :thumbsup:

Nothing fancy on my end. Probably my taking smaller cuts off of bigger branches, I reckon. The lowest branches were about 10-12 inches long, and my cuts were all with only 2 nodes, one above and one below the neoprene insert. From what I've seen so far, the next cuts may consist of only one node, as all initial roots have sprouted directly from the diagonal cut at the bottom and not the lower node.


1/22 (Day 73)(Day 36 Flower)

Five of seven of the last KK cuts popped roots after 4 days. Same deal as the last run, the two unrooted cuts were in the same low-bubble locations. Shuffled 'em around and the last 2 showed roots three days later. (gotta get the second air-stone)

At the last watering, I added some extra support. The BW got one support for the main stalk, she's putting on some weight and I wanted to make sure she doesn't lean into the bare-bulb fixture. The other two each got a second support on the main stalk, as well as two additional poles to prop-up and reposition some of the lower branches.

The bare-bulb fixture has been lowered. It's about a foot lower than the AC hood, now. The AC reflector is mainly working on the tops of the two big-girls. The bare-bulb is mainly on the BW and the middle branches of the other two, which have been pulled around to face the bulb.

Measured height:
BW @36".
KK @ 56"
X2d @ 54"

Vertically, they're done. As they bulk up, gravity rules!

The X1 shed some pollen before I caught it doin' the Hermie dance.
There are a few withered pistils leading to some especially swollen pods, primarily on the X2 and BW. There will be seed.. . I wouldn't feel so bad, but the X1 didn't really show anything worthwhile, so the seeds are IMO, junk.

The BW is bulking-up some and is beginning to shed some lower fans. I'm letting lights-out temps get down to a low of 58F, to see if she shows some color. Seeing just a hint of darkening,..or maybe it's just my wishful thinking.

The KK is filling-out nicely. The top cola is over a foot long, and getting pretty darn heavy. The KK has an absolutely *wonderful* scent. Hard to describe, but sort of a musky, over-ripe melon aroma.

The last feeding was the FF week 9, with the 1/2 tsp of the Cha-Ching soluble.

The issue with the funky looking fans is still kind of a mystery to me. Not the normal yellowing I have come to expect during flower. It may just be the nature of the strain? I'll see on the next run, if the clones follow the same routine. :detective1:

X2 is still looking good. No Hermie-action yet. The fans are slowly yellowing. :thumbsup: So far, so good...

Probably won't update for a couple weeks. By then, the BW may be getting close. I'll keep an eye on 'em and see how it goes. I was figuring on 9 weeks on the BW, 10+ on the KK, the other one <shrug>...maybe more. We'll see!

Laterz!
