PICS PICS PICS Incredible Bulk, Critical +2.0, Blue Kripple & Kripple Roulette.

HI Guys

Well after being away for a while I am 100% back in the land of all things green!!!

So this latest project is in a tent 1.2 x 2.4 x 2.0m, I using 20L pots with coco+ as the medium. For light I have 3 x 600 w on digital switchable ballasts so they can hit 630w each with boost or go as low as 400w for veg. I used 1x 600w MH bulb for veg as well as 2 x 600w HPS once they all started to get bushy. I rotated them all to get an even amount of MH light during my 10 week veg from seed.

For ventilation I was using a 6" rhino silent fan for an intake and a rhino silent 8" outtake with carbon filter, that is regulated via a temp fan controller. I also have 2 oscillating fans one in either corner upside down on the ceiling facing the top of the collas. Temps were a steady 28c during the day with RH of 50% and 22c on a night with RH of 65%.

Towards the last week and a half of veg it got HOT (which was a few weeks ago in the UK) and hit 28c outside which sent my temps through the roof at they hit 33c on the first HOT 3 days of summer. As you will know this is no good at all so I went out and bought a 9000 BTU air con machine from Home base and a dehumidifier. I am glad I did as now my temps are a steady 28.6c during the day with RH of 35-40% and 18c on a night with RH of 35-40%.

So as I mentioned I did a 10 week veg from seed for 6 of the plants and a 8.5 week veg for the other 4 (reason being I bought 10 seeds and got 2 x promo seeds from my supplier, I then planted 8 out of of the 10 I bought in root riot and incubated for 2 days in the dark with feeding every 12 hours ish on PH water only......anyway only 2 had died after a week so i planted the other 4 to see what I got.

So out of the 12 seeds I got 10 biters........... 4 x Incredible Bulk, 4 x Critical +2.0, 1 x Blue Kripple & 1 x Kripple Roulette.

3 x Incredible Bulk & 3 x Critical +2.0 have had a 10 week veg from when I planted the seed in the root riot and were around 3 feet tall from the top of the soil when we switched to 12/12. The other plants, 1 x Incredible Bulk, 1 x Critical +2.0, 1 x Blue Kripple & 1 x Kripple Roulette were nearly 2 feet tall from the top of the soil when switched.

OK so I re-potted into 5L tubs when the seeds had their first real leaves and the root mass has begun to pop out of the root riot.

In veg following the re-pot I only used House & Garden Aqua flakes A & B at the following EC readings: 0.8 for the first 2 weeks. Weeks 2-4 I upped it to 1.0 on the EC, weeks 4-6 1.2 & weeks 6 -10 kept it at 1.4 on the EC. They seemed to be happy with the feed schedule and they have shot up with a nice dark geen running throughout the different strains.

The only real issue feed wise is that the water out of the tap was a PH of 7.5 so ive had to keep on top of that on every feed but that is no biggy.

Ok so now we are coming up on the 6 weeks mark for flowering and Iam on the following feed schedule, as I said before I only used House & Garden Aqua flakes A & B bloom at the following EC readings: 1.4 base nutes for the first 2 weeks with 100ml of Canna Boost in 30L of feed, Weeks 2-4 I upped it to 1.6 on the EC with 100ml of Canna Boost and 25ml of PK 13/14 per 30L of feed, weeks 4-6 1.8 on the EC and 100 ml Canna boost per 30L feed they seem to be happy with the feed schedule and they have lots of bud sites and they are forming nicely....some colas are nearly 12 inches long and are quite dense.

I plan on the following for the last few weeks of flower Weeks 6-7 1.6 on the EC with 100ml of Canna Boost and 25ml of PK 13/14 per 30L of feed, Weeks 7-8 water flush with 100ml of Canna Boost per 30L of feed, Weeks 8-9 water flush only, week 9 day 1 water flush and lights out for 3 days then harvest, trim & leave upside down in the dark for 10 days in the tent with the fans running keeping a steady 22c with 30% RH

I will be posting pics tomorrow of all strains progress and the setup I have, the reason I have posted this first is so if have you have any questions or want any pics in particular I can take them for you etc.

Thanks for reading pics coming in the next few days

nice, my buddy is vegging incredible bulk and critical+ 2.0 right now and giving me clones, anything i should look out for with them as far as deficiencies or anything like that? you didnt do any sort of training to them? i cant wait to see how the nugs look

HI bud,

OK well the incredible bulk will take EVERYTHING you throw at them........ they have never shown any sign of stress at all!! I even had a nutes solution just for them which only started as I went away and my mate looked after them when they were 6 weeks into veg from seed and he was giving them 2.0 on the EC the critical were burnt at the tips when I got back and needed flushing where as the bulk loved it and even showed signs of massive growth! As far as heat goes they can take that as well, infact for the novice grower and the grower that doesn't want to change things all the time and cant afford the best nutes, air controllers, humidity controllers etc this strain is a dream!!

I havnt trained them at all, although if you look at the pics I have now started to stake them as they are toooo big to support themselves. They smell great (not as good as the critical +2.0 which is a heavy citrus) with a mass covering of crystals now being apparent.

I am hoping for circa 6-10 oz a plant from the big ones (i have 6 of them) and from initial growth id say iam on for 7oz a plant mark, like i said I am going to let them run for another 3 weeks from today as the blue kripple and kripple roulette need at least another 2 weeks so we shall see how they far with the extra sun!

The next 3 weeks schedule is as follows, week 6-7 1.6 EC for base nutes with 100ml canna boost per 30L and 25ml of PK13/14, week 7-8 0 EC (water flush) for base nutes with 100ml canna boost per 30L, week 8-9 0 EC (water flush) for base nutes only, week 9 +1day water flush and lights off for 3 days with air system running to keep circa 20c and 30/40% RH for the 3 days before harvest and drying for 10 days.

I was planning on trimming up after the 3 days of darkness and the using the sugar leafs for bubble hash so Ill keep you posted with the quality of that as well

More pics...

thanks for the break-down man i can wait to see how the nugs turn out its like literally impossible to find decent pics of actual dried nugs. that sounds like a damn good harvest yield too, i wonder how the bulk would do in single cola sog

No worries mate, I hope they turn out as good as they look now......... but ill keep it updated on final numbers etc
