franco Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nice setup Nutes! The feedings will be available begin March, and you'll LOVE it... I promise!The internodes look short, a sign they are happy and not trying to stretch. Just get rid of lower sets of branches, they are too close to the medium (never a good thing).;-)keep us posted! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutes Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) hey everyone thanks alot for all the comments and thanks for stopping by franco hope i can do the strain justice.Anyway ive had a few changes here, my brother came and has been told his landlordwants to sell the home he lives in so hes got 10 weeks before he has to move out.So to help a bit i gave him 5 of my Kalash plants cus their ready to flower nowhe can get one last run in before he has to move.what is family for so that means i have the 7 kalashnikovas that are around the 13inch mark ready to flowerand il be using the first 5 clones out of the bunch to make me back up to 12So i took ten cuttings from them and have stuck them under my T5 fluro in mybabystation in rockwool cubes, ive re-cleaned my 5 pot wilma, the Air Potsand stuff and have got it ready to put 5 of these cuttings in as soon as theirrooted, so were STiLL on for the 12 just a few are from cuttings now they were cut on the 8th so shouldnt be long nowil be either vegging the cuttings under my t5 for a week or il be putting em allin to veg together under the MH and then set em all off at end of the month.il post some pics as soon as camera stops playing UP (BLOODY CAMERA)thanks all and peace Edited February 13, 2012 by Nutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutes Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 im very sorry for the wait guys im having camera problems, hoping to fix by tomorow.Anyway a little update my 7 plants from the above pics are doing REALLY well, they are around 5 weeks from popping above the rockwool and ive noticed two different phenos in them.4 plants are around the 14 Inch mark very nice thick stem (nearly 2 cm!!) all leaves reaching for the sky lovely the other 3 are 12 inch but the nodes are pushing up for the bottom and about to over take the main stem, in height.these also have a very nice stem they looking really lovely and green. interesting to see them grow for sure.ive had my ph set at 5.5 but let it go up till it hits the 6.0 mabey 6.1 mark then bringing it back down takes a few days for this, and changing my res every week. i really couldnt be happier with their growth to be honest and they already have a nice skunky smell which is lovely.They been on a 1.0 ec, but now my plans have changed as i gave 5 of my plants away to my brother as i started with the 12 from seed.so these 7 are in my 8 pot wilma drip system and ive re cleaned my 5 pot wilma system for when my cuttings have rooted and vegged in my baby station under a 110w t5 for a week or two these will also be added to my flower room.so for the next week or two its just the 7 kalashnikovas ( and the 2 distinct phenos )Ive decided to flip these 7 i have on friday this week (17th feb) they are screaming for it, and im also itching for it heheive setup my baby station in a tent i have in another bedroom for the light change to 12/12.i promise to get more pics up when i get my camera sorted its causing me greif heh ..peace everyone respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutes Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 yaye cameras sorted sorry about the wait my fellow strainhuntersits been doing my head in.so these girls are between 5 and 6 weeks veg.well its been some nice fast and helthy growth the last few days.im loving the veg growth of this kalash its very rigorus and reallyhas started to smell .its been under the 2 x 600w for last couple of days to to get themaccustomed to the change as im flipping these girls on friday (2days).Im looking forward to the ride guys i did see a little temp rise with both of the lights on theywent upto nearly 30 degrees © but i helped to bring it down toaround 27 or 28 mark i hope this helps now.so heres some pics guysim flipping these ladies on friday then when my cuttings have rooted fully and had a bit of veg time under the t5 fluro il add the 5pot wilma next to the 8 pot and it will become a perpetual harvest from now i guess, Unless franco accepts me as a seed tester then il start over after these girls with some test seeds if not il be buying some more greenhouse strains anyway and il be doing a diary so its all good. that white lemon makes my mouth water thinking about it tho, i love lemon haze one of the best genetics around without a doubthope to be a tester anyway we will see some more pics later guys hope you stop by along the wayno more waiting for picture updates :D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutes Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 hey all thanks for stopping by guys, glad you all like the show so far im loving it,im hoping it goes well through the flowering now as theyve had accelerated growth in veg all the lateral branching is amazing on these kalash all competeing with the main stem and are as tall as the main stem coming all the way from near the bottom.Compared to the viney growth of the uk cheese ive grown lots of, and i do love cheese but it gets a bit boring after a bit.im pretty much expecting these lot to go the ten weeks as their from seed and not clone but il get a magnifyer and keep an eye on that at the late stage.thanks fuzzy mate, yeah i know a few peeps use them in hydro it still air prunes the roots and does its stuff i use rockwool too tho so it holds more moisture than just clay pebbles.And its a wilma recirculating drip system the res is underneath buddy same as what my plants are in its just i hadnt put the dripper system in their yet cus its not being used yet thanks everyone for stoppin inpeace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
