KelticBlue's 2017: Soil, Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunnan

Re: KelticBlue's 2017 - Soil - Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunn

I may go with my Ace seeds over the holidays and winter and then next summer try 2 each of my regs 2 TPR and 2 grape cookies. I figure 4 plants at one go is my max and I am bound to get one girl and/or one boy do some more seed making. triple purp cookie grape rhino..

Just a thought about the time of year.

If you get any kind of winter or night time cooling effects, germinating your reg seeds and raising them in cooler temps is more likely to produce females.
Just like cool evenings in flower bring out the purple in some strains.

What size tent are you using?

A super small tent. I grow behind my couch. I live in an inner city studio apartment. My wife-y like the smoke but a big tent would make her feel like everything was closing in on her.

It is a 30 inch wide x 18 inch deep x 36 inch high. I do my best to make it work. I have been tying them down and topping to deal with height.
All good fun

Dang, that's a tight fit for sure! About how much you yielding? I feel like I remember seeing pics with more than I have been in my 4x4x7s lol I haven't really had a yield the size I should have yet, hoping the Panama x Malawi works that out for me. It's supposed to be their highest yielder.

I have not measured or weighted anything. I got about 2 jars full from my best plant. Not very accurate is that.

My first morning back from the road, Update

Triple Purple Rhino in bloom with seeds.

It is doing well, temps under control just a touch hot. Humidity is high but drooping as we get closer to September.

In bred Zeeds of Triple Purple Rhino

I spun the baby around and moved the Far Red puck a little more on center on a little lower.

Super busy got a big job interview next week. Super stressed about everything and nuthing all at once. In all seriousness, my only stress in letting down the 8 plus people who have recommended me for this position, they know I am a good fit, I know I am a good fit, if the interviewers don't get to know it that is on them.

Took some piccys this morning. No real update activity. I filled my blu mat reserve water. It is good to see it slowly draining. I think i have finally dialed it in. I bet this plant starts drinking more every day in the next 2 weeks.

bursting with seeds and starting its bulk.

Trying for close looks today maybe some artistic views

Fresh green and white pistil new growth

Funny i can still see how the fan is blowing the pistil

hi Def purps

Is it selfish to wish for more frost?

Never. It's the reason we grow.

The group shot is a winner keltic.

Sweetie, Ya like the group shot? part of my photo-journalistic-style, I try for perspective in addition to the close ups I luv-a so much-a.



6 tops worked on the last grow so I figured to give it another try. Not as big a harvest as the last I think but something different ...
a poly-hybrid. I bet I could get a huge harvest with a proper pheno hunt and selection, the male grew like a weed, I barely contained the boy.

I just finished my pollen collection and dropped it in the frige with desiccant in a jar. I have three selections of nice looking pollen and two of dirty wet pollen the probably wont last for long. So I think my next grow will be a Fem seed so I can hit it with the TPR pollen. GeeZ more seeds. Such silly problems.

I cannot wait to dry this. I really liked the dry in the fridge method, the PCKxKC retained its fruitiness better than I expected.

Pollen gathering
I got a good bit, not to critical if it lasts till my next girl but i would like to play with some more crosses with the old poly hybrid pollen. I have this bunch and 3 other earlier gathering in pills bottles in the fridge.

The golden goods.

Some pollen sacks

Your photos look tasty.

With a team interview, I imagine at least one of them will get it and you get a job offer.

Re: KelticBlue's 2017 - Soil - Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunn

Thanks Rad, i just try to be nice to everyone.



I am letting the tent ride on cruise control this week. It is probably the best thing I can do to it. It has almost one liter in the blu mat reserve to draw from, I wanna see if it does over the next 3 days.

Some Photo capture thingies.
Triple Purple Rhino
my near and far perspective is up first, depth of field

depth of field, up close in focus this time.

Overhead shot with stray cat hair

GeeZoo look at me making in-bred seeds, whoot

Love the burnt pistil among the white, all twisty and brown

I call this the starfish, i dunno why

The overview of the tops, all six accounted for.

got to get the 420 lighter out for size perspective. Some point i will remember that, right? right.

next week i plan some more top dress, about 4th week of flower. And I need to secure the far red puck more to my liking.

hopefully 4-5 more weeks of flower

Re: KelticBlue's 2017 - Soil - Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunn

I enjoyed it. Planted my own seed this morning. This one I left in the water until I saw it crack. I'd never waited for that before. You guys inspired me. Lol!

just reading through old posts getting a feeling for the schedule the triple purple rhino in on. I saw this and have to say
THANKS Rad! The one small tip made this grow grapes and gravy. Thanks for helping keep my wife in smoke.

How do ya know all is good in my tiny tent?

When the trichs are sticky and grabbing the cat hair. Cat hair is considered a source of vitamin for me so I am used to it.

From this morning---->

Trichs look good straight and true, round heads, good looking stalks. Mostly clear as I survey the plant.

Re: KelticBlue's 2017 - Soil - Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunn

Go with the close ups of of the frost.

getting a touch of fluorescence whilst playin with some settings, it is something I may do in the future as the trich may lend themselves to it in the photo captures.

kitty hairs, pffft everywhere Mmeow

Seeds are maturing nicely my all new in bred line

Topped dressed with EWC and re-ammend watered in just less than a gallon of weal EWC tea aerated overnight with Aloe added just before watering.

looks pretty healthy not much purple, a little is still enough

Re: KelticBlue's 2017 - Soil - Ace Seeds Pure Pakistan Chitral Kush x Kali China Yunn

My remaining shots of the day are from both the triple purple rhino and my auto cbg x orient express (bx) re veg-re flower
the auto cbg x orient express (bx) is looking closer to finish and may put up a couple of grams, it is my sativa leaning pheno skinny and wispy loaded with seeds from the TPR pollen.

Lemme see what I can see---->

Wife-y like this one smokes fruity and is potent but a small yield.

A lot of cloudy and pistils are turning brown, it get 2 weeks before I look close again, this one can flower longer than expected as it has in the past, keeps flowering and/or foxtails

Beauty looking flowers too, nice work

I think I did some artsy foto captures, not sure if I loaded them ; - )

Have a look at these:
not much growth upwards

Getting thick in the middle

One of the better size buds

Gratuitous lighter shot......

Party light atmosphere with sparkles

Interview update from last week, it went well, they need me but the competition is very large, I did not interview the best I made mistakes but I have hope, I have about 6 internal reccomendations which I hope helps.

Great Day, now i need a nap, whew.
