Kushtie - Multiple Strains - 600W HPS & NFT

[Kushtie]

Think it'll be under a pound this run anyway.

Was surprised by the weight last time though.....the Kush nugs were very dense, rock hard and heavy so it might not be too bad. They're still fattening up but I think they look even better this time and I haven't touched the pH down at all through flowering.

It's been easy to keep the pH dancing between 5.7 and 6.1 with just fresh nutes and the EC somewhere between 1.6 and 2.0.

 

[Kushtie]

Will try for pics in the morning. Just chucked some more nutrient solution and water mixed to pH 5.8 in tonight as had a long day. Dunno what pH or EC anything is at at the mo but there's stuff in the tanks, buds are frosty as fuck, mega stinky and getting fat and heavy so it's all good.

Or good enough anyway.....plants are kinda propped up or held up with string and still falling about the place after the growroom move. Just need to add more string and keep the reservoirs in shape for a few more weeks and I should have a muckle pile of killer weed

Be good to see a group shot of all the buds when they dry. I got a friend and his pal has just got 56oz off 4 plants. Works out at over 1.5kg of dry bud, cheese strain. If it good it should stink the place out. Looking forward to the new pics.

Before I forget again, this is the last of my outdoor autos just before it was harvested earlier in the week.....

Prefer this kind of frosty though.....

....a quick close of my VK this morning. Can't wait to get that stuff fired up again.

Dry Cheese? Now there's a rare thing!

I love that pretty purple color!

 

[Kushtie]

Thanks growchick. It was a pretty little plant that went for about 155 days.....about twice as old as normal for an auto and still wasn't finished but at least I got it home and drying and can smoke it if I feel like it. (and I'm sure I'll at least have a wee taste of it soon )

 

[Kushtie]

Some quick snaps of the Violator Kush....

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

They are proper monsters my friend

 

[Kushtie]

Cheers buddy

In the next week or two they should spread themselves out a bit as the tops get heavy and fall about the place....there will be way more string in there soon! By the time I did the growroom move the screen was out the window so I went for winging it.

Managed to snap a lower branch a few days back so I dried and smoked it......it's got the strong, musky, full-bodied Kush flavour like the last one but hasn't quite developed the sledgehammer hit yet. Well pleased how it's shaping up though

You should line the bricks at the back with whatever you use for reflection. I used black and white sheeting when i grew indoors, that stuff is good.

Aye, would do but need to get more so I just spray painted it silver for this grow. The Mrs just got me 2 rolls of the reflective sheeting so I just did the 3 walls needed to block light out.

Should really get more now so I've got it when the VK gets chopped.

More pressing issue is no veg room to start the next grow in and no space to build one....but I guess I'll need materials for that too so I'll get loads of shiny stuff

 

[Kushtie]

Metre stick included for scale....

And some bud shots....

 

[Glasgrow]

Looking mighty fine and frosty there my friend. Bet you're counting down the days till you chop now. I get out to mine today so will have a wee update later with some pics. Not sure if i can get any close shots of the trichs but will see.

Violator Kush. You've certainly done the strain justice there bud.

Super dense looking frosty buds

 

[Kushtie]

Cheers guys. That's 7 weeks of 12/12 so not long to go now....couple of weeks probably.

Still got some fattening up and weight to pack on....couple of thinner branches are starting to bend under the weight of bud but by the time they're finished even the thick branches should flop over.

Forgot to do root shots again....d'oh!

Ever thought of a small tent for veg? Some online stores do them for as little as £40

 

[Glasgrow]

A small vegging tent or a wee cupboard would suffice. You could run that with some cfl's till they ready for bigger lights thus keeping running costs down.

Best to prob start tying or staking the big buds just now. Prevention is better than cure. Perhaps have a cane of some sort sitting up high across the beams and use string to tie the branches to that. That way if they do get too heavy they will not get pulled down and buckle under the weight.

Totally agree.

Once the branch has bent over, nutrient supply to that bud is already diminished, and yield will begin to suffer.

Will get on it tonight. ...or at least do some of it as ive got an early start tomorrow.

Finding have the light on at night a pain....might try running it during the day so I can do stuff on my day off next time. Worried night time temps will get too low without heating up there though.

 

[Kushtie]

Shot these for the eye candy thread but might aswell put them here too....
