Here are some basic rules on the procedure for test.

• You can start the test and grow diary, when you receive the seeds.
• You are free to use the medium for grow you want, your fertilizers, your favorite substrate, etc ...
• You can choose indoor or outdoor cultivation 
• The competition to participate in the awards ends on April 15 (must be cut before the end of the 15 April)
• You can continue the test after that date, but may not participate in the awards
• We would like to have your opinion on the smoke (tasting notes), but is optional for evaluation the awards.

We would like:

• Start as soon as possible your grow diary
• Update your grow diary at least once a week (minimum). If possible, including photos.
• Be kind, share experiences and tips with other testers.

As explained to Jose, I could not start the Germination of my seeds until a business trip was behind me.  As promised, I did begin the Germination on 07 Nov 2015.  Pictures will be posted below.

But first, here is my plan as originally described to Jose:

"OK Jose, I am definitely up for this one.

Germination shall be between layers of paper towels using distilled water.

Vegg (first 10cm) shall be under fluorescent tubes (Cool White and Grow Spectrum) in 10 x 10cm Rockwool cube, using a timed drip-feeding System and nutrients from Hydroponics - "Root Stimulator" and "1-Grow".

Vegg (after 10cm height) under same lights, the Rockwool cube installed into a large plastic planter of clay Ton-balls with a bottom layer of volcanic rock, using timed drip-feeding System and nutrients from Advanced Hydroponics - "1-Grow", "2-Bloom", "3-Micro" and "Enzymes+".

I plan to perform LST similar to my first White Widow grow, so you may see some nice fat round ladies on my thread.  Hehehe...

Flowering shall be under two 270-Watt multi-spectrum LED lamps plus two 36-Watt and two 18-Watt fluorescent tubes Cool White.  Each Assemblage (large pot containing the Rockwool/Ton-ball/Volcanic-rock) will be inserted AS-IS into an Ebb-N-Flow tub filled with larger Ton-balls, using timed Ebb-N-Flow System and nutrients from Advanced Hydroponics - "1-Grow", "2-Bloom", "3-Micro", "Enzymes+" and "Growth/Bloom Excellerator".

Finishing nutrient shall be "Final Solution" from Advanced Hydroponics.  Optional finishing lighting may include a 36-Watt UVB 2.0 fluorescent tube along with the dual 270-Watt multi-spectrum LEDs.

I would like to test the xxxxx Kush.  (Would that perhaps be the Kaia Kush?)  By the way, are these test seeds going to be feminized, or must we each be prepared to perform sexing procedures as well?

Thanks"

Obviously, the answers were supplied to us:  All the test seeds are feminized, and xxxxx Kush has been re-named as Green House Kush.

I decided to test additionally the Kaia Kush side-by-side with the Green House Kush.

I received my seeds from Green House Seed Company.  Lo and Behold!  Green House included a present - one kilogram of Short-Flowering Powder Feeding.

Because I had originally designed both my Vegg Set-up and my Flowering Set-up to be "dual-Nutrient-capable", I figured that this was an opportunity to put that capability to good use.

I hereby modify my Grow-Plan to include a comparison of Powder Feeding against Advanced Hydroponics.  My Test shall be a four-way comparison:

Green House Kush with Advanced Hydroponics

Green House Kush with Short-Flowering Powder Feeding

Kaia Kush with Advanced Hydroponics

Kaia Kush with Short-Flowering Powder Feeding  

So, I begin with some Pictures of the seeds as received from Green House.  Included in the photos are also the nutrients from Advanced Hydroponics and a photo of the Kaia Kush seeds.

Gotta go to work, so stay tuned to my next Posts.

I was lucky enough to recive this time in time, but wanted them big and fat, and the better pheno seems to take longer, so i just managed to have that second kush chopped and dried. Probably there is a third pheno as well, but as the other gh kushes from seeds still blooming or in veg, I can not tell you much more yet... I will rather add info later when they are done.

Conditions: Veg first in small pots, then into 6L under 400 MH+ 200 dual Cfl, transplanted into 35-40 L pots 7-10 days before flowering under 2X600W HPS (1.2m tent). Temps were pretty much around perfect, except strong light and heat caused some burnings which you will obviously notice.

I started 10 seeds of which 9 germinated and grew up nicely. Big fat leafs from start, quick growth, very strong stem! I like to start training early by fimming, sometimes twice, resulting many nice long strong branches shooting from the bottom of the plant with huge tops like baseball bats. And this strain seems to be just perfect for that. Branches grow in sharp V shape, which makes them also capeable of taking the weight of the tops, and makes it possible to fill the room up nicely with this strain. She grows quite a bit after flipping. I just managed to keep them under the roof ! I will post pictures of the 2 plants I have harvested. 

Named Kush 3 was quicker, tops were ready in just 8 weeks. The lower shaded parts i left on for an other 8 days or so till the other plant i sticked in started to shade and overgrow. I can not tell the exact number, but the yield was roughly 140g. Good buds, nice taste and smell.

Kush 2 was a little longer, took 72 days to finish. But what a plant!!! Buds big and fat, and very strong!! Tastes and smells amazing, you can clearly feel the genetic background in it. This pheno i will keep growing for a while, specially as she gave me 180g of fine buds! Not much work with trimming, just pure joy!! As i can not drag the files here from my gallery, I will start with the ones still on my pc about the GH Kush 2 right before harvest! Note that she was bending backwards and had to be supported which makes it hard to see that she almost reached the top of my tent.

Enjoy!

Hey bros and sis...

Finally i'm able to start my journal on the Slex test. Seeds took a while to get here down south, but they arrived mid december and due to programmed trip, i was only able to germ when i got back.

My plan is to grow 3 of the seeds... probably 2 in soil or coco and another in DWC... They will veg under 250w MH lamp and flower under 600w HPS. As i asked for discrete shipping, i didn't get the powder feeding... and unfortunately i can import it right now from where i'm at, so i will be using what i have here and that is the General Hydroponic's Floranova.

Soaked the 3 seeds and they cracked so fast i moved them into rockwool cubes. Didn't take long for them get up and open up... compared to the other Amnesia Haze seed i also germed, they were very fast!

I moved one of them into DWC bucket and waiting for roots to go thru net pot... The other 2 are in soil for now, but maybe i will move them to coco!!! Inoculated both of them with Piranha from AN.... hope those roots start to grow big!!!!

i guess that's it for now.. PEACE!

12-12-15 UPDATE ***vegetative°°°

Hi guys, this week was the wait a bit more than usual.
SUMMARY:
I started 10 seeds, and some days after, I sowed seeds 4 more, for a total of 14 seeds.
Of these 1 seed '' has not hatched, 2 seeds '' suffered accidental breakage root while trying to enter into the substrate of germination, other 3 '' seed was hatched, but after stunted growth ---> --- wither -> dying.
(a couple of nights the temperature to go down, and likely shock and kill small buds)
Remaining 8 seeds that today I transplanted.
For the moment, the growth and formation of the leaves seems to me regularly, in all remaining subjects, but you can see from the pictures.
Now I put them inside the grow room for the vegetative stage.
 

The substrate: composed of 85% coconut and 15% perlite
Light: 600w MH 18/6h
Tmp: (Max 23 °) -> (Min 17 °)
Humidity: (Max 75%) -> (Min 45%)

Congratulations!!!!  

Well lets start out by saying better late than never lol. My seeds got caught up in the African post offices as usual and GH was kind enough to try another twice for me to send them, they came in a awesome birthday card and the freaky thing is i literally got them on my birthday when i went to check post for other hopeful birthday wish cards.. I did not start the journal earlier because i knew i would not make the cut off date but just wanted to do my duty and post them up anyway's.

Because of that i did not document much like time ect or did not even Ph much until i saw she needed it close to when she started to sex. My water used to be perfect and never had to ph but seems it now drifted up and sits round 8. So did the usual ph with the recommended limits.

I have been feeding her some old bio grow and bloom. Literally the bottles are four years old. Did not have a chance to do her in my usual dwc as i could not set up my tent ect because of family visits this year so i used some soil that they use on the farm i stay for tobacco seeds. Seems to have worked perfectly. I am usually better with documenting but i was late with the journal so i was like Meh....

I topped and fimmed the shit out of her so keep her low because i had to be discreet and wanted to force her to flower quicker to make the journal cut off time but alas. I must have fimmed her about 4 times and topped all the side branches about twice. So she is super low but nice and bushy like the 70's. Responds very well to training and a very hardy plant "like i said i did not do to much" but she responds well to anything. I must say she does have huge trichomes and loads of them so i cant wait to smoke her.

Will be finishing up in a few weeks aswell with a smoke report to.

1. The awesome birthday card they sent

2. The usual way i germinate. In water for 24 hours then straight into a pot covered in cling film until she sprouts.

4. Just her as a little seedling

5. Just a few of her in her veg stage at various stages of bondage and super cropping.

I had to take a pic of this guy, just chilling next to her on another plant

6. Just a few of her starting to sex and then into flower

7. Showing here how i tied her down

8. She is starting to flower now nicely

9. Some nice bondage shots again showing how i supercopped ect...

10. Just some last flowering pics i took this morning , not long to go now.

11. These next three were taken with my phone. The trichomes are so big you don't even need a scope. Just a zoom with the phone cam is perfect. They looking mostly cloudy and a few brown and clear. Sooooo excited to smoke her lol.

So i will take some more pics in a week or two for her final flush and them some bud porn and a smoke test. Been a pleasure to grow , super easy so anyone can do it. Hardy and my goodness does she smell so lovely. Cant put my finger on the smell yet but will smoke her with a few friends and get closer to the exact flavor from a few opinions for ya all. 

Moppy :-)

i will grow the test seeds in three 5 seed batches so they wont take over my whole tent

i have anticipated this cross to come for quite a while now to the point i almost made it myself at home hehe, im so glad to finally try it out. thank you ghs:)

i started by soaking 5 seed's wednesday evening with a dash o worm casting extract in the soak water

under 12h later i noticed couple seeds had already crack open as i was planting them in seedling/clone pots and now im waiting for the seedlings to break soil

Remember that the contest ends on April 15. It is a good time to put the finishing touches to his work

Good luck to all participants!!

The winners will be announced as soon as possible, but we will need a few days to evaluate.

regards

Below you can see what they look like this morning in the sunshine....From monday to monday....

Hi, Hunters !

Thank You GHSC, the sance to grow the Slex from the first hand

My test , started at Tuesday ( 27.10. ) , put 8 Slexes in destilated watered paper towel and thats in a box , after 24 hours opened the seeds, but from eight, two seeds was a little slowly.

All the 8 plant stay in the little vegetative room .Will see what happening with the babies under a little lights ( 2 * 26w cfl) .See you later, with some green happening! Bless

Im going to tell you a short story... 

It started with 2 seedlings that found eachother wrapped in a bunch of wet toilet paper for 8hours.

With a little help they reached soil in 11L containers where they will live happily ever after.

Here's the story after

Day 6 Veg - 200W 8band LED Panel - 11L Containers - Feeding Water only pH6-6.5 EC0.9 ( Hard water? )

GHK1

GHK 2

Day 10 Veg - 200W 8band LED Panel - 11L Containers - Feeding pH6-6.5 EC1.4 ( Root Juice & Bio Grow Nutes )

See you soon !

Las GH KUSH serán germinadas con un germinador proporcionado en la revista Yerba.

Modo de cultivo:Tierra (Marca Canna Terra Plus Profesional)

Abonos: Toda la gama de productos Bio Canna.

Iluminación: Halogenuros Metálicos (HM) y Alta Presión Sido (APS)

Las bombillas como balastros con marca Philips.

En brebe les subiré unas fotos para ber todas las cosas.

Un saludo y suerte.

Just started germinating 5 Slex seeds, and will do 5 at a time, with maby 2-4 weeks interval between them.

I will post pictures later when there is something going on.

What i am looking for in super lemon haze, is the indica dominant phenotype, wich hasn't long space between internodes and has a quite big chunky buds, fast flowering type. That is my favourite, it yields great, i have some photo from my first grow in 2013 of that phenotype and will post picture of that grow later in the month, that were a 2000w total in a grow tent and harvested 2 kilos and it were ready in 61 day ,wich is super fast for a super lemon haze.

Havent decide where in my operation it will be, but i think i will let the slex benefit from my high gear lightning tech, wich will be a mix between the latest and best Led grow lights out there, along with 1000w HPS, all will be in a coco probably 25 L pots, not less at least.

I use canna coco. 

Look forward to begin. Expect my first picture post around 20 of december, until next time

After 2hrs soak

26 oct. All germinated within 24hrs

Filled rockwool with coco and mykos and sowed seed

Next step to place cubes in net pots after breaking thru coco

Thats it for now, will be back as they say HELLO

PEACE HUNTERS
