Main-Lined Critical Kush x2 - Coco - 600w Grow

[drude1]

My tent is 10x5 half coco the other side will be my rdwc.

I feed mine everyday and twice during the grow I allow it to dry up. Mainly during transitions. Right before my flip, and at week 4, before the weight and stacking ... I do this but make the feeding once they're dry you Have to pour slowly..

Interesting. What's the theory behind letting it dry up at those points?

Arjan from greenhouse seeds "the king of cannabis" suggests its good for the roots to get more Oxygen, and being that those are points where the plant needs to use up certain nutes, when you hit it with the next feeding they explode. For example the veg nutes are different from 12/12 and at week 5 the plants go to there next flowering stage

Ahhh. Interesting. I'll have to read more on that! I've been using pretty much the same nute solution for most of vegging and flowering...apparently the beauty of the modified Lucas Formula.

 

[DrFrankenstien]

Yeah...they need different nutrients for different processes. House and garden's base is always the same but it changes with the additives over time, fox farm almost eliminates "grow big" after veg and treats it as a supplement in flower.

I read that pretty much after veg for example that very little N nitrogen is needed because that mainly contributes to leaf development... And if you look at flower nutrients they have a high PK ratio and low N

Day 42 Update...some of the pistils on the plant on the right are starting to turn orange...otherwise, just plodding along.

Thanks fellas Could these two plants look any different? I'm fairly sure the one on the right will finish before the one on the left. We...shall...see.

Looks like you have an Indy and a teeva , I loved my teeva pheno, but the perpetual couldn't support all the time it needed back then...such a happy euphoric high it had ...:banghead:

How long did your sativa pheno run for?

 

[DrFrankenstien]

I gave it 10 weeks I normally harvest between 8 and 9... It caused aloss in weight but the bud was great... Half cloudy no Amber.

I have what is probably a stupid question. I know the leaves start to yellow and die off in late harvest, but is that just mostly because of the plant doing its natural thing, or because people start flushing?

Not a stupid question at all.. the flush signals the plant to finish up a little faster, the leaves yellow because the plant is consuming the remaining nutrients. There's a technique where you slowly eliminate nitrogen and start diminishing other nutrients over time... I've researched this before I think there's a thread on here somewhere maybe titled "fall effect" like the fall the leaves slowly yellow as the plant finishes and prepares for winter

[drude1]

Ahah...so if you don't flush, your leaves might not start dying off? I'll look into the fall effect thing!

 

[DrFrankenstien]

Correct, depending on your nutrient line, some like fox farm eliminate a lot of the nitrogen after week 5.. a great book to have it ed Rosenthals guide to marijuana growing they go in depth into a lot of different things like what each terp and cannabinoids do, as well as growing in general..great book to have..they even have a kindle version

Got a good 1 1/2 weeks left huh

I *think* so! I hope so. I think one of them will be ready before the other...we shall see. Seeing more and more orange pistils on it every day, but the other is pretty much all white pistils. Just checked out trichomes today on both, as well, and they seem clear/cloudy. No amber. Starting to get impatient, haha.

 

[MedicatedGrow]

I'm the same way, my friend gave me a free $20 sack that he got from his friend. Tempted to smoke it, but, I might just wait till I harvest so I can compare the two back to back.
My side colas are having more orange hairs everyday as well, and swelling fast. The top colas are twice the size of the side colas, yet still all white hairs. It's weird.
The top colas have pistils like albert einstiens hair.

Oh and all Cloudy/Amber at the moment, very little amber on side colas, a lot on top colas.
So if I'm lucky I'll have top colas for days I need for my pain, and side colas for my working high.

Nice! Since this is my first grow, I'm kind of just flying by the seat of my pants. Going to adjust the nutes starting with tomorrow's watering...a reduced ppm with just 9mL of the Bloom. Do that for about 5 days, I guess...and then start flushing depending on how they look? I don't know, hah. Post a pic, man! Here are a few I took today. I think they're swelling/bulking...but I don't really have anything to compare it with

Plant #1...


Plant #2...

Those are looking really good dude.
Did you do any topping or FIMing or just one big colas?

My hasn't packed on the weight seems like you got more Critical Mass than Kush in your pheno.
Yours has a massive cola.

My plant has about 25 colas all together, and I left a ton of popcorn below.
I kind of like some popcorn they get superdense small nugs looks funny and great for hash.

I probably won't have pictures till Monday, lent the camera to a find who wants to start a journal here.
Although I can tell you right now your plants massive cola > my multiple colas. They are dense but much less mass in them.
Also starting to get purple leaves, most likely lots of N, and not a genetic thing, but we'll see as it progresses if the buds turn purple too.

Edit: Was high when I typed this, I know how you topped.
Extremely good looking colas though bro, very well done.
