I find my well water changes pH depending on the season I'm in. I don't know why it does that, but I know it does. I think in the winter, the pH is higher.

Insead of Liquid Karma (which I used for years), I switched to GH Floralicious Plus which is much cheaper and more concentrated- it lasts me a lot longer!

Let's see a picture, maybe we can help....

They've greened up some and after 1 week there has been some elongation, which I'm happy to see. I went up to 1200 ppm early, they were looking a bit light in color to me. No odor yet, which is fine by me- it's been a pleasure to grow so far. I'll stay with the veg ferts for 1 more watering, then switch to a 50% veg/50% bloom mix for another two weeks. Then all bloom until the flush. I like to keep them healthy and green and with Botanicare, if you switch over to bloom right away, you'll show N deficiencies too soon for proper health. Love those leaf angles to the lights too........they're loving life right now.

9 days into flowering..........very nice crop so far. I'll be cutting back on the N now and moving on to 50%/50% veg/bloom fert mix for 2 more weeks. Then 100% bloom from then on. Yield could be on the low side since I didn't pinch, but I followed Jay Generation's recommendation not to top and concentrate on the main cola, which should get very large.

What......6 or 7 wasn't enough?????? I'd hate dealing with all the plants different heights, nute requirements, etc.

i agree! ive kept mine to 2 strains max

hell with the Kings Kush i hate the difference in the 4 different phenos i got haha

the front 2 are loving all the nutes and the back 2 are hatin life. (compared to the front)


The main cola does get pretty massive. Really gotta wait til the last few days of flowering for it to pack on that last blast.

I got about 13 off 8 of them in barely 1 gallon pots so you should be due a solid 2-4 zips per.

I am strain hunting right now.
2-3 strains at a time would take me yrs to get what I want lol.

I am seriously overwhelmed right now though.
I have way too many plants and the ones in the flowering tent are all huge.
I am working on them day and night every day, not to mention keeping clones alive of all them.

I think next run I might just run a single 400 or something to chill and enjoy life again.:wall:

Even though Ill have all kinds of weed flowering, I am bound to find a few I really like and be stocked for a while, and get rid of the rest.

Yup.......I knew you were either going crazy or just saying screw it and let them do their thing on their own. I can't tell you how many times over the years I had to knock down a room and pull everything out just to repack everything back in the room properly, stake them all again, etc. just to keep them upright and reasonably happy. What I hate the most is when the tallest plants end up directly under a light and the small runts are on the edge of the garden- WTF!!

I may just go back to Reserva Privada's OG Kush #18 for yield, quality and sour smell for my next grow. I always love that strain when I grow it out........

Got any pictures of the Reserva Privadas OG kush #18

I just couldnt find enough info on it and whether or not it was a good yeilder etc...

How would you rate it overall?

Here's a link to a review I did........ it's a great strain. A little stinky for a home grow, but otherwise, top notch! It's strong if you let it go long enough, great yield and easy to grow and keep healthy. It can grow a bit taller, so a pinch or two might be in order. Buds are solidly dense like a kush. People call it the "Super Sour".......I think it's one of the best "Kush" yielders available.

My flower box tent or whatever I built is full to the gills!
I have to take em out and repack or water or spray like almost everyday.
It is hella work, and I have like 2 months to go.
I gives me something to do, but my back is killing me every day, and it uses most of my time.
I have been missing lunch every day with my plants needs!
So next grow 9 plants max, and hopefully that 9 isnt 9 dif strains lol.

I have a few strains in particular I am paying really close attention to expecting great things!

I love to grow but when it becomes "work", that's the day I'll stop. Even when I'm miserable looking at a full day/week/month of pruning, watering, cleaning, trimming, observing, etc........ I always have a big smile on my face come harvest time.

Day 12, notice the first signs of buds forming. Also, check out the "monster" G.G. plant back left.........

you might need tie them up because for some reason the ones i grew let the buds get too fat for the stems

Which is never bad except when you have buds touching the pot! haha

lookin good though!

I'm still considering whether or not to trim some leafage off the bottom of each plant. And, I'll probably end up staking the main stem and propping up branches that need it.........the pic doesn't really do the room justice- the plants aren't as bunched as much as they appear to be., but it's still cramped for sure.

I would usually chop some of the fan leaves off in veg so when i set up my sea i could organize where everything was going to go.

i know its controversial but i did it and still do haha

i wish i would have topped my grape god. i feel like it would have done well like that.

Hmmm thats a nice journal.

I got the lime green pheno for sure.

Doesnt look like as big of a yielder as the deep purple pheno

Cant wait to see yours start to grow buds and get all shiny
