KB's garden

I thought I'd setup a new general thread about my garden musings and ramblings that I can keep ongoing.

For a bit of background into my setup:

I use a 4x4 "SolaHut" tent as my main flowering area. I usually flower under 1- A51 LED XGS 190W, 1- Cidly Apollo8 LED with a custom config, and often I also have 2 - 3' T5HO in there for side/middle lighting. I also have a 2x4 diy tent for veg, under a 4 x 4' T5HO. I usually germinate in a 1x2 cabinet, fitted with a 18" T5HO and a seedling mat.

My typical "go to" medium of choice is a custom blend of: soil pro-mix from a local greenhouse, EWC, Perlite, Bone Meal, coco coir. I also dabble from time to time in DWC and hybrid F&D hydro setups, and micro hydro setups.

My usual nutrients are: GO line of products: BioGrow, BioThrive, BioRoot, CaMg+, and molasses.

I usually try to keep it simple and straight forward, as I have minimal time to tinker around in my garden, so I try not to overcomplicate things with fancy setups and what not.

I like MNS strains, and think that Shanti is among the best breeders going. However, I enjoy offerings from some of our fine breeders in Canada, and have been known to pop a few TGA here and there too.

I have an autoimmune disease, so I specialize in CBD-dominant strains, and CBD crosses with regular genetics...stuff that has direct positive benefit on my condition. Although I do enjoy hard hitting Indicas from time to time as well.

What do I have growing on at the moment?

Well, I've got a few MasterKaze in mid-flower. I'll snap some pics tonight when the lights go on. This is a fantastic strain from Shantibaba, and is also what I'm running for my party cup comp entries. They're doing great, btw!

I had some open slots come up recently, with the finishing up of a homebrew strain cross, so I've been considering what to start up.

Well, with the arrival of my package from @provisionseeds today in the post, my mind is made up...Purple Widow...yes m8y's, I'm super stoked about this one. I've already dropped 4 beans into some H2O in eager anticipation. They're regs, so I may get lucky and get a male to make some pollen from.



Note: The beans are frickin huge!

im taking a seat and watch this grow.

As promised, a few beauty pictures of my garden right now. I haven't been very attentive to my garden this year, as we had another wee one, and my attention is definitely divided right now. So I've been keeping things simple, and easily manageable, after the wees are asleep.

First, in the veg tent. I've only got one mom in there, since I've been growing mainly 12/12 f.s. lately, to use up a bunch of beans that I've got. But this mom is a Afghani leaning NL#5 x AF from MNS. Beauty strain...smells like bomb, hits like fire!


Also my veggie/herb garden seedlings are started up...a little late, but whatever.


Has this ever happened to you? I noticed one of my parsley starts looked a little different than the others...waited another few days, and holy shiite, its not a parsley plant.


I think its the NLxAF bean I was using for the party cup comp that didn't germinate. I ended up throwing the soil from the cup back into my larger container, which I then used to plant my veggie starts...so, ha!

Speaking of party cup stuff, there are my two remaining contestants, sitting pretty under the XGS, along with a mystery bean...well, its not a mystery, but I forgot to label it, and I forget what it is right now.


On smell guard over my flowering tent is my Green Gator filter, which I won a couple of party cup comps back. Man, if you're thinking of getting a new carbon filter for your growspace, these are the best, hands down. @The Gator is a member on these forums, and a sponsor on the site. They offer great deals to RIU members...check 'em out!


These are a group of 4, MNS' MasterKaze. I have been growing them 12/12 f.s. They're roughly in week 4 (I haven't been logging this round, so I'm unsure exactly when I planted them). I'm growing them in 1G pots, in my usual soil mix. They're just starting to smell and trich development is starting to happen. Lovely strain!

So, my 4 PW are in their cups and have taken a seat beside my garden starts. We be rockin!

Mystery bean is doing well, as are the parsley that share the cup. The other 4 are the PW's...I see necks 3 of them, so I'm sure we'll be seeing some sprouting action in the next day or so. Until then...

Damn, sorry m8s...its been a while since I posted an update here. With family visits and other shiite, I've been distracted, to say the least.

I will take some pictures tonight and post them later on, after the wees are in bed and I can meander down to the plant room.

Of my 4 PW, only 2 remain. One just didnt pop, and the other...the biggest and most vigorous growth plant turned out to be male, and the other two, which I only set to flowering cycle a week or so ago have yet to show sex. I do believe they're female though. Fingers crossed.
