818 HeadBand and Purple Chem from Cali Connection

Hello everyone, Im going to start a grow journal on these two strains. I hope it goes well, both of these strains are new to me.

Purple Chem in the white tray, 818 HeadBand in the black tray...

Who makes the purple chem? sounds interesting, i love chemdawg when its a real cut. What is it crossed with?

This cross is between Pre98 Bubba reversed to use as the male crossed to the original chem 91 skunk va cut. its from The Cali Connection....

let me break down my grow a little more. I germinated on Sept 15th and put them in rockwool on sept 18th. After they were put into rockwool they were given GH flora series at 1ml per gallon (Grow/Micro/bloom/and Rapidstart). I gave each rockwool cube (1.5in X 1.5in) 50ml of my nutrient mix twice a day for 3 days. I kept them in a 13x9 pyrex dish with a heating pad underneath for those 3 days.

After those 3 days i put the cubes in hydroton an my ebb & Flo tables. My reservoir was set up with RO water and Gh flora series ( the full line up ) at 70% strength. i consider this the 1st week of veg.

On Sept 28th ( week 2 nutrients ) i up my nutes to 85% strength. And all plants were topped.

On October 5th ( week 3 nutes ) i up my nutes to 100% strength.

During week 1 I flood the tray twice a day.
During week 2 I flood the tray 3 times a day.
And during week 3 i am flooding 5 times a day.

I usually just run a 3 week veg, so if all is good this weekend, i will start flowering Sunday night.

Im running a 1000w HPS and a 600w HPS.

400cfm inline fan to cool and runs thru a carbon filter.

I believe its both from Cali Conn. Should be a interesting grow good luck with them.

yes, both are from Cali Connection, and thanks.....

Good luck brother are you in LA, did you get the seeds local? I see them at a lot of shops around the Valley lately..

No, im on the east coast, i get all my beans from the O.S.B. (Ontario Seed Bank) in Toronto Ca.

this is October 11th, black tray is the 818 and the white tray is the Purple Chem. I am going to take two clones from each plant tonight so i wont need to buy seeds anymore. Thats if the clones take, this will be the first time i attempt cloning.

This is my cloner, I ran it lastnight for about 20min just to see how it works, and to clean it out. i put in 1 gallon RO water and 100ml of 3% H2O2. Then RO water by itself for a few min. Should be ready to go.

Oct. 12th Purple Chem... first day of flowering

Oct. 12th 818 headband... first day of flowering

Once again, this is my first attempt at cloning. The clippings in the rear of the photo are the Purple Chem, they were taken Friday Oct 11th, and the clippings in front are the 818, they were taken Saturday. This photo was taken Saturday also, and as you can see the 818's look a little wilted, the Purple Chem looked the same way a few hours after they were clipped. they are standing up pretty well so i guess its going ok.

Looks like everything is going good. Nice job man. I just took some cuttings yesterday too.
