Maui Wau - Mekong High

[PotChimp]

This grow isn't doing so well. In a few days I'll have room opened in the other units to spread these out and get them directly under the light instead of to the side, which will help. Two of the Maui Wauis are dropping leaves just like the Mekong High is:

This Maui Waui (the oddball) looks okay, but a bit underfed:

Post more pics soon.

Oddball Maui Waui looks pretty damned nice!

Hey PC....looking good to me too! You might remember me saying I grew the MH outside & wanted to try one indoors. Well I started one inside recently so l watch yours with lots of interest. Keep up the good work.

Good sized pot, not too much nutes or water at one time, decent air circulation, and good lighting are my recommendations so far. These 2 gallon pots have dried to the point of wilt three times now with the larger plants.

Mekong High - 6 weeks from flip (this camera setting doesn't work well with HPS lighting; it did well with cool fluorescent lights):

It seems to be one of those strains that drop leaves easily (both the Sativa dominant Maui Wauis are the same). I'm hoping that when my C4DD grow chops this week I can put it in that open unit with the 2 MWs to end the overcrowding I have in all 3 of my flowering tents. Look at how bad this tent is>>>>>

Post more pics soon, and some close-ups as soon as they all look good enough for it.

 

[PotChimp]

Notes: I pulled 2 plants from my C4DD grow for chop. One of the Maui Wauis went into the empty space and it has more direct light so it won't look so much like this one soon (hopefully):

I'm starting to like this Maui Waui pheno (at least for the bulk). Looks like the ol' ounce-on-a-stick trick to me!

How the mauis smell? I love their scent far more than the skunk, diesel, chemical, body odor, stench of some of the others I've seen. Looking good chimp! One of my Grinspoons may build some nice colas. Neither one looks like heirloom sativas. Gonna go for 4 trained after the new year. A Maui, panama, African, and a buzz light year. If you ever go "pick a seed", I reccomend the Eva High Level. Very frosty, and easy to grow. Stinks like a lab experiment though. Keep them green!

I wish I could say they were looking good, Spitz I might salvage the two Sativa dominant ones some, but at around 3-4 weeks to chop they won't pull out completely. Here they are after a switch, leaving them uncrowded and directly under the light now:

This is from the plant growing above the light ballast:

This is the plant on the left in the pic. I put it in a few days ago so it's had a chance to start recovering from that same problem:

But they're both iffy at best:

The Indica dominant one looks better; the hairs are starting to brown:

Post more pics soon.

Not looking any better well maybe a little (Sativa Dominant Maui Wauis):

That thermometer/hydrometer is off; I need to get a new one in there. Here's the Indica Dominant Maui Waui, just before defoliation (sorry about the bad color):

Ounce-on-a-stick!
Sorry it took so long to get back to you on the smell. I'm trying to remember what product this Mekong High smells like; you would know if you smelled it, Spitz. The smell is like a light eucalyptus or menthol behind a spice or fragrant wood and a moderate amount of citrus. Maybe those REE-KO-LUHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! cough drop things?

Coming along chimp. Root bound? With 3-4 weeks to go, might be worth bumping them to a bigger pot? hell, what do I know... I'd limp them home because I'm lazy. Finish strong chimp.

 

[PotChimp]

I've got 2-3 weeks left on these (my last harvest running 11.5 on and 12.5 off put the plants at the low end of the breeder's times). I'm not sure if the roots grow much at this stage, so my decision was the same. I'm gonna limp 'em home mostly 'cause I'm cheap but partly 'cause I'm lazy too Here's the limping along Mekong High:

I'm done with looking at that $hit like that. As soon as the cash is there I'm putting a 4" fan/carbon filter combo in here and running 6" flex duct to the other units. Airflow would fix some of what I'm looking at.

 

[brightlight]

I know you're not real happy w/the MH, but it's got that nice bluish/gray tint to the green & long white pistils that I remember from mine. Looking pretty frosty too. Sandalwood, spicy smell?

 

[PotChimp]

I'm more unhappy with the results than the plant, brightlight. Anything that doesn't get good light looks like it has N toxicity on these thin leafed Sativas. I have to get decent airflow going in these units.

This is the only plant I'm okay with in this grow. Maui Waui (Indica dominant):

The other two Sativa dominant ones are still looking rough, but the buds look okay. At least I won't have to trim them; all the leaves will have fallen off by then.

Latest pic of this Maui Waui pheno (getting close):

Beautiful bud & photo PC!

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks the very top of that main cola has that sporatic calyx growth from being in the heat zone I'm going to do some tweeking again soon to try to remedy that in all my tents.

 

[Spitz]

All the tops have unique growth as far as I can tell in the pics. It may just be amplified on that main top just because it is the "main top". I think she's looking good. Keepem green chimp!

Can't keep 'em green this round; too much heat and not enough air circulation Here's the Mekong High again:

Got a chop to do; more pics later
