Tales From The Krip!

[Stltoed]

PIC UPDATE!

Still having some challenges getting everything dialed in and set for the new round, but for the most part, pretty happy with the way we're sitting. The biggest thing working in my favor is that the contractors, who I expected would be finished two weeks ago, still have another week or two to finish, which buys me some more time before I can get the tent setup.

So, with that in mind, I did take another cutting from the BAK, so she's down to three primary colas (which, ultimately, will all get cut, too!) and two more secondary. She's a vigorous grower, doing great and looking good, so no issues with the BAK:

I'm also really happy with the Fruit Punch. She's recovered beautifully from the early (what appeared to be!) calcium issues and is starting to bush out:

Of the two Tut's, Tut #2 is doing great! She's got some huge leaves, growing nicely, and, if I had to make the decision on which to keep for a mom without being able to sample a harvest, she would be the clear winner:

Tut #1, on the other hand, has been having issues pretty much since she sprouted, and again, it sure looks to me like a Calcium deficiency. Not sure why this is, but PH is good, so just upped the dose of Cal-Mag to her diet to see if she responds.

Here's what the leaves look like...Anyone think this is something other than Calcium???

I'm pretty sure she'll make it and ultimately recover, but the issues have undoubtedly effected her early development and, of course, I'm a little concerned I'll have similar issues with her clones, which makes me inclined to keep Tut #2 as the mom (unless/until I pop another Tut seed!) and just flower Tut #1 in the first round.

Happy Harvests!

The issue with Tut 1 isnt calcium. It could be Magnesium, i say this because it looks to be a mobile nutrient issues by looking at which leaves are afflicted. But, i think its a Potassium issue.

 

[Mr. Krip]

Thanks, Brother, but I'm pretty sure it's not magnesium, since there's no yellowing between the veins; and Potassium, while possible, would be HIGHLY unlikely. Potassium usually effects the outer tips and edges of the leaves.

Here are examples of early & late calcium deficiencies:

This is a Potassium deficiency:

It really looks like a "classic" calcium deficiency to me - just not sure why.

Thanks, Brother! The new growth is looking good, so hopefully it stays that way and I've seen the last of it!

Kind of looks to be a cal problem to me. Do you add amendments to the soil? I can never add enough bonemeal to mine it seems. And some drink 5 times as much as others.
BTW here's a pic of one of the autos I did acouple years back. I was just showing it to another on here,, called Muay Thai Super Auto from flash seeds. Alittle shy of 2 LB's. Hope you don't mind I post this one up;

All the plants are in Doc Bud's soil mix which is ProMix-HP plus EWC cooked for 30+ days. Prior to planting all seeds, the holes were dusted with his "Roots" powder, which is basically Rock Dust and other minerals and bacteria to promote the growth of Mychorrizae, which is in the ProMix-HP.

I remember that Muay Thai and you can post pics here anytime, Brother!

 

[Mr. Krip]

AFTER SMALL PANIC, WE'RE BACK ON TRACK!

Alright, I admit it! I was in a rush to get the grow back up and started panicking when we had the initial germination issues and popped the Lucy-25 auto, the two Orange Crush seeds, and some others that didn't make it.

In the mean time, like everything else, it's taken the contractors a couple weeks longer than expected to finish everything up here, and in the extra couple of weeks, it looks like I'll be back on track for what was pretty close to my original plan.

I took the three other tops from the BAK and the first cutting from the Fruit Punch, plus, started some LST on Tut #1. Since Tut #1 was the weakest of the three, especially in the older growth, I was hesitant to try to top her.

So, I'll wait the extra week, or two and, if all goes well, I'll have a Fruit Punch, two BAK's, and Tut #1 going into flower for the first round. If the FP doesn't root, or I decide to keep Tut #1, I'll hopefully have the extra BAK's to fill the space.

I'll likely just toss the two Orange Crush seedlings. I really enjoy the strain, but really want only 20+% THC for medicinal purposes.

I'm definitely much happier now that I have a packed veg cabinet!

You can't see the two OC seedlings in the back-left corner of this pic:

And, here's the BAK, now with 8 tops forming. This is MUCH too many, so some will need to get removed for the Bonsai, but UBT plus one additional topping is a quick way to get five clones!

[Mr. Krip]

Well, I made the mistake of getting into some seed/breeder discussions tonight and, to make a long story short, ended up placing another seed order. I have no clue why I felt the need to spend the couple hundred bucks tonight, since it will probably be a year, or two, before any of these get popped, but I'm guessing I don't have to explain it to most of you!

I worked the promotions so I got some good freebies!

Here's what I ordered:

(12) Hazeman Seeds Monkey Balls - Regular
(5) Dutch Passion Seeds White Widow - Feminized
(5) Sweet Seeds AUTO Dark Devil

Here are the freebies on the order:

(1) FEMINIZED UFO #1 G13 Labs Seeds Purple Haze
(1) FEMINIZED UFO #2 Dinafem Seeds Critical Cheese
(1) FEMINIZED UFO #3 Garden of Green Seeds Critical XXL AUTO
(1) FEMINIZED UFO #4 Humboldt Seed Organization Amherst Sour Diesel
(1) FEMINIZED UFO #5 Barneys Farm Seeds Red Diesel
(1) T H Seeds UnderDawg OG
(1) Barneys Farm Seeds Red Dragon
(1) G13 Labs Seeds OG13
(1) Dinafem Seeds White Widow
(5) Dutch Passion Seeds White Widow
(6) Hazeman Seeds LA Pure Kush

Yes, in spite of my aversion to anything auto, I just couldn't resist some of those Dark Devil Auto's. Every time I see those nugs I just fall in love with the color and the smoke reports have all been great, so figured I'd give them a shot, at some point.

I also ordered the Hazeman Monkey Balls regular which will be a first for me as far as non-feminized seeds, but I was just reading about the strain on Brother Icemud's journal and had to give it a try.

Happy Harvests!

Nice haul! I think most growers struggle with seed addictions. I've spent countless hours going through breeders websites and filling my shopping cart only to later close the window and move on or have a credit card issue at check out and cancel the order. I don't think I need to ever buy anymore seeds but what fun is that.

I want to try a regulat seed called Ed Rosenthal Super Bud. It only comes as a regular seed.

Id grow Dark Devil in a second. What a beautiful plant

Ive grown more plants from Barneys Farm than any other breeder. I dig their stuff.

 

[weenmeoff]

That's a pretty great haul of seeds for a couple hundred buck, nice work! Oh and welcome to seeds anonymous. When will you get your first chip? The first step is admitting you have a problem, ha! Ha but I like how Neiko put it, what fun is that indeed!

 

[NorCaliwood]

Hella haul... I shop for freebies when I buy. Tude does well early in the month. Like the first week. Was a time they were sponsored here. But does sound like you got a nice grip of seed.

Yeah, I'm actually hoping (eventually!) to get a male from the Monkey Balls to use in breeding. And, since I have (5) DDA seeds, which only come as auto's, I was thinking of doing a run of 4 DDA autos and, hopefully, crossing the fifth with the Monkey Balls to product some "Dark Devil Monkey Balls" as a pheno.

I like BF, too! It gets mixed reviews and I've heard bad things on some of their strains, but I've had good experience, personally.

Hi! My name is Krip and I'm a seed-a-holic! It all started pretty innocently, just popping a bagseed every now and then. Before I knew it, I was buying from breeders, researching exotic strains, and placing regular seed orders. I know I've hurt some people along the way (sorry former dealers!) and I need help!

Thanks, Brother! This order was, actually, mostly for the freebies! I am looking forward to trying the DDA, in spite of my aversion to autos, but already have White Widow and the Monkey Balls is really for future breading, though, looking forward to flowering & sampling any of the females.

PIC UPDATE

Things are getting dialed back in on the veg side of the house with all plants doing well.

Here's the BAK mom, now with 8 tops forming a nice wide canopy:

Tut #1 is responding well to the LST and her new growth is looking good, although, the older stuff is ugly and can't wait to remove it!

Tut #2 is looking like an all-star. She's a very stout, sturdy plant with big fan leaves. If the smoke on the BAK and Tut #2 is good, I'll be very happy since, based on veg, these are both great genetics/phenos to have as Moms:

The Fruit Punch was also looking good. I say "was" because I just took her first cutting, so she's a little "topless" right now and not her usual bushy self:

Dark Monkey Devil Balls. Sounds bad ass

Ducting Solution

I'm hoping to get the flower tent setup next weekend, if all goes well, so started working on the ventilation.

I'll be using a 440 CFM 6" fan, which is the same fan I was using in the 2'x4', however, at the time, I was exhausting into the room, which really isn't a good practice for a number of reasons. So, for this grow, I'm going to exhaust out of a window.

It just so happens that the room the tent will be in has one window that's very hidden, even from the outside, and will be perfect.

That being said, I still want it to look professional, not draw attention, and keep the weather and bugs out.

So, today, I cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to be able to slide inside of the window frame, and cut a 6" hole in it. I painted the outside with three coats of exterior paint that was leftover from painting my house, so it's the same color and will blend right in from the outside.

Tomorrow, I'll paint the inside the same color as I just painted the inside walls with the paint leftover from that. And, I have some weatherstripping, which will help seal the gaps; and an outside vent that will give it a "finished" look, both being delivered later this week.

When it's all done, I'll post some pictures with some more detail, but it looks like this will be a great solution, although, that 6" duct vent cost me $35! Luckily, I had everything else needed laying around.

Happy Harvests!

Sounds pretty great Krip! I already had a 6" hole for exhaust of a heater not in use, I put a couple layers of carbon filter in the hole at the outside plus you can't really see it through the trees. Of course I also have a can 33 filter hanging in the tent! Dealing with high rh right now but think I've got it fixed.
