Alafornia's 1st Time Multistrain Medical Grow

Nikita (White Russian)





 
Beautiful buds ,Al...you've got a hell of a harvest coming up!
 
That you did Al! Great job with the plants sir!

lowryder is pretty damn spot on with the lengthof time left :thumb:

Thank you, BLS. Everyone so far has been in pretty good agreement on timing.

The real work is about to begin! :thumb: You thought you were busy before! Lol once this starts progressing into harvest mode, you will soon realize that the east part, was well, much easier then this part lol! Good thing youve got the entire week off! Trim jail, can be a bit repetitive lol I look forward to your updates! When the time comes anyways!:yahoo:
 
Hiya Ala! Sorry I’ve not been in much... knackered form my own small harvests!

Did a quick skimming catchup and agree with most that it’s just flowering fade yer seeing to a large extent. I agree w someone who I said the spots may be late calcium deficiency and agree also with someone else who said it’s so late in lower so not to worry about it :)

Bear in mind that Doc’s tea is primarily designed to populate the microherd. While it has some ‘nutes’ in it, it’s not a nute or a fertiliser of any kind - it’s microbes, primarily. It gets used in such small quantities that the volume of the substances in it that end up in the water would be very low. Think of it as enhancing the biota - which can result in better exchange between roots and soil.

I think OG Kush looks ready now! Looks beautiful.

Oh and on trichs - look to the ones on the bracts (what folks call calyxes), not the leaves or sugar leaves.

And... finally, dropping your lights to 11/13 for the last weeks for the longer flowerers will help them to finish.

I’m finding it hard to track the trich pics. I’m sure some of the plants have much longer breeder stated flowering times than the others, you have so many different ones that some are bound to be ready now and others in a few weeks yet. I’m not sure looking at them as one big bunch is going to help you track them. I think OG kush looks ready now from the look of the plant and then I’d guess you’d want to track NL next - but i dont know what the breeder ‘specs’ are on all of them And which ones are likely to be ready next.

That was a lot - but you had a few questions scattered about that i tried to address :)

I could just as easily have posted... “everything looks great!” :thumb:

Hopefully the soil will be better conditioned for this and the next grow. What do you do to recharge yours? Do you grind up the roots? Just began thinking about this issue.

I agree about OG Kush CBD. I'm watching to see if I need to harvest her Tuesday. And thank you - she is a beautiful lady.

I'll try to get better pics tomorrow on the bracts. Not being a plant person previously, that a new word for me. Thank you.

Good idea on the lights. If that works it may push the White Russians to finish.

Keep in mind today is Day 58 (week 9, day 2) since the flip. Flowering likely began a week later, give or take. Flowering times are as follows:

OG Kush CBD 8-9 weeks (sativa dominant)

Blueberry 8-9 weeks (indica dominant)

Northern Lights 55 days (mostly indica)

Master Hemp MH1 7-8 weeks (slightly surprising as it is sativa dominant)

Orange Sherbert 60-70 days (mostly indica)

White Russian 56-63 days (mostly indica)

Pretty good balance there in terms of strain types and still pretty close on flowering times. I figure some will be cut earlier than others but unless I have to wait for them to finish they'll all come down next week (the week after Halloween).

I greatly appreciate you taking the time and effort to answer questions and address concerns. Thank you!
 
This will be the first of several nights I keep the kerosene heater going all night until the wall (kerosene) heater gets installed. Low approaching 10 tonight with a few nights in the single digits. It's mid-twenties now.


The seedlings are coming along well.


Just got one of the flower tent. Also got MH1 and OG Kush CBD.







 
:THUMB: everything is right on track then. You staggering harvests?

To most people! Me included when I studies some cannabis botany earlier this year :nerd-with-glasses:. Indeed the longer your experience in cannabis is, the more ingrained it is that they are ‘calyxes’, but the plant science says that we can’t see the calyx on a cannabis flower and what we see are bracts :) SO it’s one of the terms in cannabis that’s in a process of change I guess. I’ve been using the terms interchangeably for a while now but I’m trying to be more specific.

It’s weird to see OG Kush with the words ‘sativa dominant’ next to it, Kush is the quintessential Indica. :hmmmm: I’ll have to look up the OG Kush CBD. Gee there is some lovely colours starting to come out on that one!

appreciate you taking the time and effort to answer questions and address concerns. Thank you!
You’re very welcome. I’ve been where you are now (albeit with many less plants!) and I know how much it helps, even just the reassurance.
All is well :Namaste:
 
Temps are taking a dip this week with lows in the low 20s tonight and a few nights getting down close to 10 F. I haven't been able to get the wall heater installed yet. When I'm able to get that done I'll be able to turn off the other electric heaters and remove the one from the tent. Overall, it will give me more headroom in amperage. In the meantime I have the floor kerosene heater and can run it during the really cold nights. Good thing I got the garage door sealed.
They will be fine in cooler temps Al.....I still have plants outdoors here in New England and night temps are in the 30s with day highs in the 50s. I am sure your temps are well above that brother!

Thank you, Amy. All knowledge, wisdom, and reassurances are welcome.

Considering staggering the harvest. Not sure if I'll be able to. Taking a wait and see now.



60% sativa, thanks to the CBD rich strain with which she was crossed.

Congrats on the liftoff Al! We are getting ready to up pot ours tonight.....going to throw her in a 2 gallon for about a month.

Congrats, and thank you.

Outside temps got to single digits last night and will approach that tonight. It's much warmer in the garage/tents.

Great job Al, buds look awesome bro. NL looks like amazing.

Thanks, Sparkey.
