What are your soil mixes?
i experimented with 3 different soil mixes this season, 1. - 30% local red clay soil with 70% horse manure, 2. - 30% perlite with 70% mix of 50/50 coco & horse manure, 3. - 100% pure premium potting mix, the first 2 types did well, the 3rd type was a disaster with a long running root rot fungal disease present which no amount of top grade mycorrhizal treatment could control, the fungal disease thrives and cannot be stopped in pure potting mix, im looking forward to adding 30% perlite with the first mix mentioned, the heavy red clay soil sort of set very hard

I'll be growing in manure mix this year (goat) but it's older manure . I hadn't thought of Coco and the manure.. Your ladies look great btw! Comparing the 2 in the pic above, which is which when referring to the mix ?

thanks man, you should be ok if the manure is old, i like to add natural substances like that with perlite & coco cos it adds a buffer & not totally reliant on fert feeding every day via liquid nutes

these 2 CV raspberry kush pollinated via Mosca C99 male have 2 distinct phenotypes so far, the non purple pheno has a much lighter fluffy type bud while the purp pheno is a much tighter compact type bud formation, both are low to medium yield, some colour is starting to creep into the non purp pheno since the onset of cooler weather, hoping seeds inside buds are mature within the next 3wks IMG_2997.JPG IMG_3001.JPG IMG_3006.JPG

Greatly appreciated! Looks very appealing to the eye! Good job sir! :clap::leaf:
dunno joe, those 3 MK are just not impressing me in any way? beans were from sealed breeders packs, resin production reminds of some poor quality type ditchweed i havnt seen in many yrs, small bud growth in all phenos, very similar plants allround, only good thing is reasonable terp profile, havnt smoked any yet, MK is listed as mainly indica yet im struggling to see any indica?, MK listed as being caked in resin yet im seeing a very small amount? hoping the resulting crosses are going to be ok though im not holding much faith in that, very glad ive got other crosses happening cos if it was just these 3 girls i think i would feel pretty miserable...last thing to test is the smoke...in a few wks

Guess I'll germ all four mk ultra at the same time and see what I get. I've read other reviews agreeing with what you said so I'm also not expecting much. Hopefully your crosses will have much better quality.
i wish you luck with yours, its a legendary strain, but many banks let the quality drop after a period of time, lesson i guess is to not rely on old classic strains that were good in yesteryear but grab the dank from recent banks like bodhi/sin city/ RD/GGG etc that heaps of peeps are growing out as we speak & there is definite fire from those banks at the moment

this single poor specimen of Spliff AK47 has been pollinated by an Irie Cookie Stomper male, plant has symptoms of root rot which plagues this outdoor grow area, beans have formed well though & only a week or 2 before they will be ripe, this girl has got a great resin count & terps expression(much more than the MK Ultra), havnt found words yet to describe the scent, look forward to growing a test batch of the offspring next seasonIMG_3008.JPG
