PW's First Attempt At Aeroponics & PS1000 LED

[Van Stank]

Yes this was Evie, the strain is: Pakistan Chitral Kush x Erdpurt (afghan highbred)

The strain is 100% Indica

Yeah I was looking for another pure Indica to try. When I saw PW growing this I put it on my wish list and then threw it in the cart a couple days ago. I suppose I could always wait for the smoke report before pulling the trigger....but lets be honest, it probably won't stay in the cart that long. The seeds will probably already be to the house by then LOL.

No bud wash, but at least you now have a comparison. Either way, you absolutely crushed this whole grow!

Do you wash your bud Vex? I used my brothers wash method he uses. He uses water with Peroxide at 20-1 ratio in one bucket, lukewarm water in the second bucket and then cold water for the final rinse in the last bucket.

Love a pure indica. I'd been wanting to get Violator Kush (Hindu Kush x Malana) and pulled the trigger last weekend as Seedsman was offering a Liberty Haze seem with each Barney's Farm seed purchase. I will be growing it later in the fall / early winter.

It'll be my first harvast, bro. Although I may wash some bud for comparison.

Oh my days, the thrichomes on Kathy!!!

Wanted to ask you a question PW, have you ever tried slashing/damaging the main stem? I am sure i read somewhere that the plant thinks it is being attacked by an animal or narco or summat and goes into turbo mode..... apologies for the looseness of my enquiry but i am on the vodka.

Cheers bud

I know my brother swears by it. I have seen others that will use baking soda and lemon juice in the water instead of peroxide. Like always, I am sure that there is always more than one way to skin a cat or harvest bud.

Nice harvest, PW!

Those are some gorgeous buds in the bin. Interested to hear your opinion of the low and slow when you are done

Ive never tried slashing the stalk, a 3-4 day dry period right before harvest will stress them and cause them to push out more trichs. Im also using uvb for the first time and it seems to do the trick.

Just read a post by Tulip from all the way back in 2010 that outlines certain methods to boost final trich production and one of them is putting little tacks in the main branches. I wish to try this. I think people might get scared by such drastic measures, but i guess in the last week before chop aint gonna do much harm. By day 60/70 i cant see many ways of fucking up royal. But my glass is always half full

 

[Pennywise]

Give it a try and document it for everyone.

 

[Muzzybuds]

I will! My girl is getting the chop in 5 days so now is a good a time as any i guess .

I did some Super Cropping on one of my girls, and the branch kind of "snapped" but after healing herself, it stood right up and ended up being one of the fatter colas on the plant.

Dry, as in no water in the res dry? Assuming light schedule continues?

How long before harvest did you do that?

Hey Hook, i have a Skunk #1 coming down tonite and the Dinachem and Pineapple Chunk on saturday. I have 5 baby Lebanese in a large tote and 2 First 48 started for my perpetual im starting. Glad you stopped by, i lurk on your thread often. Lol

 

[Pennywise]

I'll know what i think about low and slow in about 2 weeks. If retains more terps than traditional drying it will be worth it.

 

[Lonestar11]

Good question. Still haven't harvested. I would have to go back and look at my journal to give you an accurate answer. It wasn't long after the flip and they started to stretch.

Yes lights continue but the plants go dry to the point of wilting. That came from Grand Daddy Farms.

I think the underlying fact of growing this wonderful plant is there isn't a truly right or wrong way of doing it, unless you are doing it really really wrong. I don't think any of us are trying to win medals, only supplying ourselves with the right stuff. That's my 2 cents, but im drunk and stood in asda deciding what crisps to buy .

So do this through the final dark period? Or leading up to it?
