Heya folks! This is my 6th grow. Going for another Hi Yield with hopes of beating last grows' 28oz dry, yield.
The Particulars:
5x5 Secret Jardin crapola floor leaking tent (don't spill!)
Lighting provided by JD Electronics Ballast and Digilux 1k watt HPS (216w HO-T5 in veg) JD Lightings Hydroponics
Nutrients by Blue Planet Nutrients two part with Vita Blue, Liquid Seaweed, Liquid Blue Bloom Booster JD Lightings Hydroponics, and Hygrozyme. In veg, Fox Farms Bush Doctor microbe brew was added for root development.
Recirculating Deep Water Culture home made system using 5 gal buckets, 1.5" PVC, Uniseals, 392 gal pump, Sunleaves 1/10hp water chiller set to 67f on 3/4" return line, and a top fin air-8000 4 outlet air pump with four 3" cylindrical air stones.
Strains are two Martian Kush in back of tent, and two Master Kush in front of tent.
Martian Kush from the tude:
DNA Genetics is another high quality strain, combining two of our CUP winners - Martian Mean Green x The OG#18 Martian Mean Green crossed together with The OG#18 making this cross out of this World when it comes to strength, taste and smell the Martian Kush has it all! Martian Kush will stretch so pinching is suggested. Large Clear Resinous Trichome's will make this strain a concentrate connoisseur's delight. Expect above average yields from this instant classic.
Genetics: Martian Mean x The OG#18
Master Kush From Nirvana: First called High Rise, this strain of marijuana was developed in one of the tall buildings in Amsterdam's Bijlmer area. Coffeeshop owners and marijiuana lovers alike fell head over heels in love with this exclusive tetraploid cannabis strain. By popular demand, this Hindu Kush / Skunk hybrid was stabilized and marketed, and it has been a classic ever since. Master Kush Seeds develop into strong cannabis plants of medium height and bushiness. Master Kush is a heavy weed producer which thrives in soil, hydro and greenhouse growing systems. It has a pleasantly earthy, mossy smell and its smoke is smooth.
Ive grown the Master Kush twice with good results. I ran out of seeds and had no clones so I germinated two Mast Kush to join these. I have not grown different strains in the same grow because I don't want any conflicting characteristics but was kinda forced to this time.
The Martian Kush has already shown me she grows taller so they'll need some major super cropping to keep even with the Master Kush. Ideally we're looking for max height of 28-30"
They were both veged using Gas Lantern Routine, 12 hrs lights on, 5.5 hrs off, 1 hr on, 5.5 hrs off. This saves power and the 1 hr on in the middle prevents going into flower. However, this also makes them show sex early (all fem) and when flipped they begin flower faster.
In flowering period I will use a diminishing light schedule, going from 12/12 to eventually 15 hrs off and 9 hours lights on. This speeds up flowering a little and really boosts production late in flower.
These girls were stripped of nearly all fan leaves once in veg to promote more branching and tighter nodes. They got some more but not full defoliation in veg because of the ph being too low and locking out some nutrients so I didnt go hard on them. Now that everything is right I'll hit them hard after stretch. After the first stripping of fan leaves in flower I'll nearly daily remove fan leaves to provide the most light penetration possible to all the flowers top to bottom.
Goal is 2 #'s dry yield but now knowing the Martian Kush I have no idea if we can get there.
Here's some pics from today:

This should be a fun grow. Hopefully no issues or tragedies arise. Welcome and thanks for following along!
