04-Dec-2012 (day 11)
It has been exactly 268 hours since my seeds got put in water.
before we get to the grow, i would like to introduce you fellows to my evenings entertainment.
i appologise, im useless at describing flavours most of the time and i have a bit of a chesty cough (too much smoking from grow 3 i think) so im just going to skip that side of things...lets just say it goes down
Meet Silver Haze (so 'the guy' says....it is definatly a GOOD sativa)
now for my personal preference, this does not feel done, even for my anti coucklock tastes. this has zero. I feel like a space monkey and im going to be awake till its gone oO.
This is one of the sneakiest highs ive ever had...im not kidding, i sat here for about 2 hours smoking the stuff and wondering if i had been short changed.. with reflection i can sense when the change happened (about 45 mins in) but i did not know it at the time.
so anyways, as the time moved on i started thinking more clearly and having a lot more random ideas per min and with increased erm vividity if thats even a word. then i noticed myself occasionally grinning at my own ideas, then it just sort of hit me in a rush. very difficult to describe the feeling, i guess enriched like a brix plant or charged like an atx case. just a lot of positive physical energy, so much so i hand brushed the lounge carpet between watching eastenders on iplayer with the missus and Borgias on rental.
and now the initial surge has past i just feel alive and awake, that dark cloud that hangs above my head and casts its shadow on my every emotion has been melted away by the radiance of the haze.
/me slaps himself "feet back on the ground mister"
Here is the pics of silver haze =)
This is my big bud 2 which is a fem reg, this has been total defoliated since barely out of seedling. ive been doing the same thing to the dela haze next to it for quite a while now...i no longer have a clue how many budsites that thing has, its too hard to count them, lol
Im slowly bringing my light schedule down to 13 hours for all plants all the time. i just want to roll with that for a while and see how it goes, i like me a small electric footprint and this i could stagger fairly well with 2 different grow rooms with only 2 hours crossover, ill drop to 12/12 once my bb2 and my kc45 pollen makers look close to being in alignment.
oh by the way guys i been reading that far red spectrum can induce deliberate early flower...if anyone could test on an auto that would be terrific..i will when i can afford to buy that....it may be a way to force the large autos to flower even faster to make them more size managable.
That tub no longer has the air pump. in an ideal world i would have moved my best ones into the same tub as my kc45..but they are in an erlier version of my pots and the water tide level is non compatible.
And now to the main attraction...my 11 day old KC45's
So far the tank has had water in for 1 week, no signs of algae.
humidity is a little low but i dont mind, my soil is mild and they can drink as much as they want, it just means the nutrient uptake is mild but fast, direct (not osscilating) but gentle wind is helping them move the water through thier system.
i love how evenly they are growing, i believe this has a great deal to do with exacting depth of sowing and pressure applied to the top to tamp them down evenly.
still very early days, so not a lot is happening, but hey everyone likes pics and an update =D
