Kushington Farms Grows Monster Green Queen Plant with Lush LED Lights

[Kushington Farms]

Good High my friends,
Welcome to my grow journal, This Journal will feature a Green Queen Plant, I run 60% coco 20% perilite, 20% fox farm ocean floor mix along with a 1 Tbsp mycorrhiaze mixed into the soil. I use 12 Hydro LED Light | Lush Lighting | 888-960-4LED Dominators with a few Lumenators to fill in dark spots. Using RO water, I keep my nutrient mix at .75 EC using just Silica, an A & B base, monster bloom, Thrivealive, and magical. It looks and acts like soil, But I flood it like Hydro as needed depending on the stage the plant is in. I feel it gives me the best of both worlds in my garden.

now at this point You noticed the yellowing I have going on at day 40. From what I have noticed the plant is just too big for the amount "soil medium" I have it in. I only put it in my usually double stack pots. (5 gallon smart pots stacked on top of each other) Never having a plant grow this large before. My theory is the plant is just eating itself, or selective starving out the weaker leaves. The yellowing has gotten worse but doesnt seem to effect the plant and again is very selective. so leaves look healthy as can be. very unusual but not hurting it too much so i am rolling with it and seeing what happens.

Okay this update was taken on December 20th. I used a pair of glasses that remove the purple out of the picture. This plant was looking really great but it simple out grew its pot and has not turned out ass well as I had hoped. I call this plant over all a fail on my part. the buds didn't finish as well as I would have liked. I know from experience that I totally failed on this plant. The genetics of it are sound I just let the root mass out grow its medium. End result is a nice looking plant with meds. that could be better but aren't horrible.

Good High my friends,
Welcome to my grow journal. This journal will feature a Clone of the Green Queen Plant I ran above. I put this plant into flower on December 13th This plant is just being grown normally I am not trying to make it over-sized since I screwed it up last time. I run 60% coco 20% perilite, 20% fox farm ocean floor mix along with a 1 Tbsp mycorrhiaze mixed into the soil. I use 12 Hydro LED Light | Lush Lighting | 888-960-4LED Dominators with a few Lumenators to fill in dark spots. Using RO water, I keep my nutrient mix at .75 EC using just Silica, an A & B base, monster bloom, Thrivealive, and magical. It looks and acts like soil, But I flood it like Hydro as needed depending on the stage the plant is in. I feel it gives me the best of both worlds in my garden.

Good Highs everyone,
How is everyone doing today?
This will be the last plant of this strain that I run a journal on basis and probably all together I have a-lot of seed of other strains, and I only think this strain is a 6 out of 10 and I would rather search for a better one. Thanks for viewing as I finish this last plant out and I know normally all of this info goes at the beginning of a thread, and it will from now on. but I am stepping up my threads and providing more info in them. hope all is well and again thanks for viewing.
I have a veg room that is 10x10 set up in my basement. My temperature stays at about 73 degrees with 40% humidity. I run 5 Vegetator vegetation lights from Hydro LED Light | Lush Lighting | 888-960-4LED. I run 18 hours on and 6 hours off for a light cycle. I believe all living things need to sleep and rest at night, and I am a firm believer that a 24 hour light cycle is the leading cause of plants turning hermaphrodite. It is also why plants stretch, have thin stem and branch growth, and suffer from other common stress related issues. I run a perpetual garden and run my plants thru a 60 day veg cycle. I water about twice a week in the veg room sometimes more sometimes less depending on stage of plant. I use Technaflora base nutrients, thrive-alive, and magical; along with a silica additive in RO water. The EC concentration is .5 EC using a multiplier of .87 is about 435ppm. The Medium I use is a 60% COCO 20% Silica Perlite and 20% organic ocean floor mix with a teaspoon of mycorrhizae. They veg in 5 gallon smart pots until about two weeks before flower. At two weeks before flower I place another 5 gallon smart pot full of medium underneath the original pot to give it fresh media to grow into during flower. At that point, I no longer water my plant for a period of 4 days to force the roots into the fresh medium.
The Pre-Flower stage lasts for a week and has its own little set up just outside the Vegetation room. I basically put them in a flowering light cycle and feed the plants on the veg. nutes for that first week of flower.
The Flowering Stage room is in a garage that is split into two rooms. Each room is 12x18 with about a 6x8 hallway/storage room in-between the two rooms. I have my own room and a testing room currently used by Lush Lighting. The garage has a small low BTU window AC in the storage area, and each room has its own small low BTU AC unit for a total of three. I live in Michigan and the rooms are outside, so temperature and humidity control is a bitch to maintain in both summer and winter. I won’t let it get any colder than 60 and no warmer than 82. However, those are the red zone areas. My true target temperature is 68-77 degrees with 40% humidity. Flowering nutrients are also mixed in RO water. I use Technaflora boost and bloom base nutrients, thrive-alive B1, magi-cal, some monster bloom and a silica additive. It is run at a higher EC concentration that holds at about .7 EC using the .87 multiplier is about 600ppm. The room is 12x18 and has 11 Lush Lighting Dominators of various types (Dominators, Dominator 2x, Dominator 2x XL) and 4 Luminators. I run a 12 hours on and 12 hours off lighting cycle. Everything I have grown in the last 18 months is 100% Lush LED grown, and I have been the product tester for Lush Lighting since late 2009.
After I have harvested my plants, meaning after I trimmed most of the leaves off and I chopped them down. I leave them whole and hang them for about 5 days. After five days I trim them up and leave them in a drying rack for about 2-3 more days. After that I place it in jars and air them out once a day for the next two-three weeks depending on need.
Due to my own time limitations I normally don’t post veg pics as they are of little interest to most people. I could be wrong but most people tend to like to see the goods. To tell me you got there just show me the baby kind of thinking. I have a plat restriction of 72 plants but I am currently one patient short so I only run 60 plants at the moment. I find that caring for and take pictures of each plant every week is entirely too much of an undertaking. I have enough issues keeping up with the flowering pics at times. I have various threads of each strain I put out into flower in my own room that can be found on 420magazine. Due to the sensitive nature of the test products I run in my room. I will rarely show anything except time lapse videos on youtube in that room. This plant was put out into flower on December 13, 2013
