Why Not's Platinum Kush Grow

I would pick the Jack Herer it is great but Northern lights is also good and a heavy yielder. Hope your numbers work out. I always figure 2 a plant and if more I’m thrilled.

I have no idea of what they will turn out but I am guessing. By next year I should have it sorted out. My last grow was years ago, no nutrients, no LEDs. I am getting better at this. Got excellent input from here and my Ganja Brand Dude. Clones are supposed to be good for pain and last grower got two oz. per plant. Some of mine appear much fuller than others. Counted over 50 buds on one plant. Down to the last 2 weeks of nutrients then flush. Hoping for over 2 oz. per plant at least on that 50 one. The auto flower plants are supposed to give two and a half oz. dried. How can a small plant turn out 2 oz. when that is all that comes out of a feminized bigger plant? As I said, I need data.
You ever do an auto flower plant?
Soon I can share real numbers.

I'm not a fan of autos but fascinated by them. I grew a fast n Vast auto that had the best yield of an auto that I have grown and it was about 1.5 zips. I have grown some purple colored autos but not much yield but bloody Skunk is so purple it's almost black and taste like grapes. I usually have a couple in the veg room just to watch and play with while my flower room does its thing. I have seen some people on here that get good yields out of autos, but it's not me. Check out the comparative grow in my signature and you will see several of us growing the same auto and they pretty much all look different.

Also seed companies data is if grown under perfect conditions, etc. I just use their information as general data.

Jack Herer is not really a pain strain. Crown Royal is pain and appetite, just what I need.

Jack Herer is not for pain, the Crown Royal is for pain and appetite, both I need. I really am doing this for medicine. They don't hand out prescriptions for THC unless there is a need. With everyone trying to cut down on opiates what else can I do?
 
All three of the auto feminized Purple Kush seeds sunk in the water, good sign for germination. Now they are in between paper towel soaked in Brita filtered water. I have three coco seed pods ready. Two little roots so far. Nice and warm today, want all three to spring into action. Looking forward to the cooler weather causing the deep purple colours to develop on it's buds.
Next year's crop will be an assortment from 5 feminized Purple Kush (which I have) for inside the tent (six fit) and depending on what I choose for the six out side the tent, but I still have four more auto feminized Purple Kush seeds. I will buy 10 more auto seeds (makes 14 need 12) and 10 feminized (makes 15 need 12) for next year. I will get two five packs of each giving me a wonderful range to draw from. Then with two grows, I should have everything I need.
Leaning to ordering White Widow and Northern Lights in the auto flower (af) (depending on how the Early Miss is) & Crown Royal and Green Crack in feminized. Two of each will be my starting point. Second grow I will pick what I want and have five extra seeds. This assumes 100% germination. I am getting better, I can do it.
For the winter I only have the 5 Platinum Kush (clone cured on 10/4), 3 Purple Kush (af still seed), 7 Early Miss (af flush on 10/22) and 1 Pineapple Rush (clone flush on 10/30) to make it through the winter. I expect 25 - 45 oz. from the above mentioned; July is the earliest to expect the new crop feminized, auto by June? to be cured and useable. 25 oz. will, at 5 g/day, not suffice; 45 will easily get me through, as the target is only 51.5 oz. for the year. Anything over 35 works.
The Early Miss seedlings are now in vegetative state. Nice to see the bundles of leaves coming on to make them strong. They could be re potted into their final homes any time. If I get to the Grow Shop today, I will pick up the 6 of the three gallon collapsible containers I need and plant the Early Miss in them. The Purple Kush (3), Pineapple Rush (1) and the final EM (1) will go into the 5 five gallon buckets (forgot I need one more 5 gal bucket will put the Pineapple in it) currently used by the Platinum Kush till 9/13.
 
Just ordered a -5 pack of 3 gallon fabric pots and a 5 pack of 5ml syringes. My new grow light comes tomorrow. I tried to put up the divider in the grow tent, it is a task if done by ones self. I will have to move the filter into the ballroom (as it is on a ledge taking up room now, I shall hang it. some how).
Some of the buds have 10% coloured "arms". Need to take a magnifying glass in to have a better look. More stuff going on.
 
Grow Light arrived today, not on the 24th as originally indicated. It has Vegetative and Bloom settings, just what I wanted. I have it installed but not hooked up to power yet. Tomorrow I will not have to cart the plants all over to catch the sun. Luckily I have another timer. Now I have too many temp/humidity gauges, yes a Christmas present already.
Went to a Toronto Pop Up Market and got a Medi Gorilla clone, about the same height as the Pineapple. Got a Distillate 1 ml tubes for killer gummies. Picked up a couple small packs of top drawer green and a Moon Rocks joint. And was given a few grams for FREE, yes free. I think they felt sorry for me. I was in a lot of pain. Nice bud too. Thank You.
Just the new earth pots coming that I could use now. Had to pack every one into the main room until I get the new light power tomorrow. Will get two more 5 gal pails for the two clones, I have the plates for under them and there is room. The Gorilla #4 is supposed to get over 6 feet tall, so will need a big pot. And an extension cord.
 
All three of the auto flower Purple Kush seeds have popped and are in coco seed pods. The Gorilla #4 clone liked it over night under the 2K grow light and the nutrients. under the 900 watt grow light on Vegetative setting for 18 hours. The new grow light needs a power cord. Off to a big box store.
With the addition of these plants, I have a better chance of hitting my goals.
One tip I got from two growers was flush the plant for up to 2-3 weeks. I will see how things look after one.
Still working on the Free bud, excellent quality.
 
Rainy dull day. This is when having two grow lights helps. All plants needing light, have light (almost). Once the air filter is moved to the main room, the two not under lights will have room. Right now they are in my living room as it is pouring out.
When I open the grow tent, the odour is there, big time (yea). The two veg plants appear a very dark green under the new light. Two of the three pods have visible growth, the final one is still working at it. All are doing very well.
Today feels like Friday. Out for great Chinese Food tonight, it's my Birthday. (66)
 
The 3 gallon Cloth Pots arrived today. I will re pot the Early Miss auto flower into them. That will leave 2 Early Miss alone in their smaller containers until the buckets clear. The three other buckets will have the auto Purple Kush auto flower. The two new buckets for the Pineapple and Gorilla. That fills up for grow part two. Need more soil, 13 gallons worth. Fox Farm a bit pricey. Got the soil. The Early Miss look cute in their little pots.
Just ordered the seeds for next year. Auto:White Widow and Northern Lights; fem:Crown Royal and Green Crack. Getting 5 Early Miss seeds free to adjust from my last order of 10. 7 grew, replacing 5. That is 25 seeds pus the 9 I have means 34 seeds. I will sell some? Maybe. Each grow will be 12 plants or can I do three grows?
With all the pots now, I will re arrange the tent and move the nursery to the 3x3 foot floor area I planned. Grow light will be moved to suit.
The 3 auto Purple Kush seedlings are in little cups of soil, looking good. The seedlings are so fragile. Many sips of water over the day. Will go into 5 gal pails in Sept.
The Platinum Kush is on it's last week of nutrients, then flush.
The Pineapple Rush and Medi Gorilla #4 plants are transplanted into 5 gal buckets. Their root systems look fantastic.
The Early Miss are in their new pots. Two will go into 5 gal pails once they clear in September.
Found a little seed in my pop up market weed. It is in water floating now.
Lovely sunny day. Every one happy.

Awesome news on all fronts there doo! Will you be growing any outdoors next year?

No, I have no acreage. I have a Grow Tent inside my 10x10' shed. The 3x3' auto grow area is outside the tent (but inside the shed), all the feminized plants are inside the tent. This way they get 12 hours darkness. Autos do not need. Most are in their permanent pots now. Glad that is all done.
Hope your work coming along well too.
 
Found a tiny seed in my market weed. Tahoe OG. I soaked it in a glass of water 15 hours, it sunk. I now have it between paper towels. Found a second but it is white, will try anyway. I am getting better at not killing them. All three of the auto Purple Kush seeds are growing. Topped the Gorilla. Six more feedings then flush.

Medi Gorilla #4
 
The Pineapple Express and Medi Gorilla #4 are both clones. The MG4 has 5+ tops already. Here is a bud I thought I posted but forgot the post button.

If you are using nutrients to grow, how long a flush is advised? I have heard and read 1 to 3 weeks. Four more feedings.
The dog chewed Early Miss seedlings are slowly improving. The others look cute, little plants. The Purple Kush seedlings are still slowly growing, only one has leaves, one erupted and the final one still hiding. These are all auto flower.
