Purple Kush-Bubba Kush-Pure Kush-Jack The Ripper-Super Silver Haze-Santa Cruz Kush

[don2009]

Hey I just bought some early purple kush from attitude. Anyone familiar with this strain? I think it sounds as good as the clone only strain.(PK)

 

[aeviaanah]

damm man you got some sweet plants..its taken a while 2 catch up but better late then never +rep man keep up the good growing

I appreciate it man thanks for stopping by. My outdoors and indoors will all be ready at the same time....some a few weeks later depending on strain. I have quite a mix and will harvest as nugs and trichombs appear ripe. I am using same food for outdoor and indoor strains, I have the same strain outdoor and indoor as well. This will help me decide the big differences between outdoor and indoor smoke. Strains are bubba kush and pure kush.

Yo...I was wandering around in Al B Fuct's thread and came across this quote of his. It just supports what I thought. I think even a little nute burn causes reduction in growth and yield, even if it isn't much. Which wouldn't be something you would necessarily notice if your entire crop is getting it.

"CG, you're right, knowing where to stop can be tricky. There's a bell-curve to this- not enough, just right and dead.

The trick with nutes is to use enough to get plants without deficiencies but not so much as to produce nute burns. Once you pass the peak of your bell curve, more nutrients will cause a reduction in growth.

If you like, you can grow a few plants at the same time that you give nutes of differing strengths to, perhaps 200ppm between each sample, and see for yourself which produces burns or deficiencies, etc. Bear in mind that before doing such testing, all other conds in the op have to be spot on so you are sure that when you see some symptom in the plants, you can be sure it is caused by the difference in nute strength as opposed to something like excessive air temp, for example."


I know it's a fairly obvious thing that burning is bad, but I think people look at it wrong in that slightly burning your plant is giving your plant all it needs and then a little damage to the leaves. It's more than that; It hurts growth and will hurt yield.

I look at it this way. We've all seen how big and compact buds are capable of being, and yeah I know strains matter, etc. But I think 99% of people, including me, don't grow their buds to their max potential for lots of reasons, and this is one of them. I see nice looking buds on plants all the time, but very rarely do you see nice looking, big, and hard buds...because the stuff people mostly mess up on is the stuff that results in achieving the max out of your plant.

These are just my opinions, and I quoted Al B. Fuct because he's someone I think is intelligent and knows what he's doing.

edit: basically, it's all part of dialing in to get the most out of your plant.

Hey this is a great post man, i have been wondering about this as well. I started a thread and did not get much response. https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/364029-do-you-feed-much-you.html i appreciate you taking the time to post this information. Al b fucts' explantion was stated exactly as i thought. This knowlege can be seen all over. There are vitamins/supplements we need (as humans) in moderation...and too much of them (even without knowing) can cause damage. Thankyou.

Not sure which purple kush i have. This is one of the strains that is everywhere and is bred by everyone.

A small update showing strains exhibiting desirable traits: week 3 started yesterday.

trainwreck x early skunk: wins most trichomb production for this stage in the game

white berry x redwood kush #1 is developing big and dense nugs...trichomb production is just behind tw x es.

white berry x redwood kush #1

deep purple #2 is looking great as well...she smells the best of every strain in the room. heavy sweet fruity berry smell..

heres the room

master kushs' are probably going to pack the most weight....lots of bud sites all getting decent amounts of light. all plants are now starting to smell and main colas are forming.

is anyone familiar with how long a female plant takes to receive pollen given? i am wanting to pollinate and my plan is to remove plant, pollinate then spray with water to render loose pollen not viable. just now sure how much time i should give females time to accept pollen before spraying with water and returning back to flower room.

 

["SICC"]

Damn that TWxES's frost is fuccing amazing, and its only 3 weeks flowering
The DP looks great as well, i got my eye on her
Pollen will take with in a day, and you'll see the pistols start to die off. lol you forgot how long it took from your last batch of seeds?

Well last grow i pollinated using only one males pollen. I did not care if i got rogue seeds here and there. This time i am using three separate pollens all in the same closet. I want to minimize accidental pollination, as this may create a cross believed to be something else.

 

["SICC"]

Oh ok haha, i would just pollinate them at different times. Like do one plant, let her sit for like 2 days then pollinate another one. As you know pollen can travel pretty far, i got alot of rogue seeds myself, and i thought i took all the proper precautions when i did mine.

 

[aeviaanah]

i was going to group all plants by which pollen they were to receive. put them in different areas of the house. pollinate and allow to sit for 24 hours...then spray and return all to flower room. what you think?

 

["SICC"]

Sounds good, as long as their in different room's it should be fine, i never heard of the whole water thing, but it does make sense in stopping any pollen from flying around.
Ima have to try that next time.

 

[aeviaanah]

from what ive heard water not only removes any loose pollen but also makes it not viable.

 

["SICC"]

How would you go about spraying them? would it a be a light spray or would you have to get them real wet?

 

[aeviaanah]

That is also something i need to find out. Someone just told me a few hours is all that is needed. I will be real careful when pollinating..and only drench the pollinated area.

 

["SICC"]

Keep me posted, if it works, which im sure it will, im defiantly gonna try it on my next pollination.

Yo. I know I had read about rinsing the plant somewhere, so I looked around. First, I thought it was FDD2BLK, but it wasn't. Though, here is a snipit from him, and it seems he has success with pollenating as little as he wants in a garden full of plants.

"pollen is dry. we are ready. i use a small paint brush. if i am only doing a partial seed i like to use lower branches on the female to seed. or i will pick one side branch and seed the whole branch. i can pick one single bud to seed if i so desire. once i have the bud located to be seeded i simply dip the brush into the jar and swirl lightly. the pollen will stick. i lightly knock off any loose pollen. then i dab the tip of the brush into the hairs of the lucky girl. by using this method i can pollinate one small bud within a garden of otherwise seedless plants. i am careful to remove the plant from the room while i am pollinating her. turn off all fans and wash hand when done. then after i pollinate i try to knock any loose pollen off the bud before she goes right back into the flower room."

Then I realized it must be subcool, because he's the only other one with a breeding thread that I've read. So here it is his snippet:

"We grew out a good sized Space Queen C and placed her into flowering time, seven days prior to starting the male to assure a good amount of pistils to be pollinated. The male will start to show flowers at fourteen days and by twenty-one days the first stamen will open. We place the female in a room completely separate from our main growing area and place a fan in the room. Jill and I both like to use barely open male stamens to sprinkle grains onto each bud and try and capture the grains of pollen falling in the air. The plants spend a few days together under a 400 watt light with the fan gently blowing the pollen all over the female as each stamen opens. After three full days the female is then removed and rinsed repeatedly with water to de-activate the pollen and make any loose grains non-viable."

[LiveHigh]

Damn...a lot of good looking strains there.

 

[aeviaanah]

You should see these outdoors man...this are definitely the biggest nugs i have ever grew. Veg to flower to veg then back to flower is the ticket to success with outdoor indicas.

 

[stinkbudd1]

Say very nice grow as always when i check in on you,and some nice strains cross's as well.I have a question for you aeviaanah, youve grown purple kush both indoors and out doors how are the yeilds from the indoor grows with her ? and were they from clone or seed because i just ordered some of the new seeds from attitude and i know before there was only clones for the strain..Hey thanks for the help ..

Hell yeah, thats a nice line up. you're gonna have a gang of killer crosses

Do you still have all those bean from your last pollination?

That MKxGDP sounds great

my first purple kush indoors was attacked by powdery mildew, nugs did not fully develop...were harvested early and watercured. i used nugs for cooking/hash.
i dont have a purple kush indoor at the moment. outdoor plants are yielding fat and full of trichombs. they arent even caring about the mild case of spider mites, a treatment here and there helps keep them down. The purple kush i have is a clone from harborside dispesary in oakland, ca. id imagine many breeders have there own purple kush and any seeds you get from banks these days are going carry good genetics. if you want a high yield train your plant for many bud sites.

I am popping all rogue seed formations cause i do not know the father...lol. I do have the seeds from the last two pollination's. I have been looking into bead sorters on ebay to sort my seeds...check this out. it would be sick to fill this with your best nugs of every grow.
