Last pf our Kali Mist is being trimmed now.

We ran them to just over 11 weeks I think. Get training asap! Ours were like Mr Tickles from the Mr Men books - arms and hands everywhere!

Its not a great yielder, but thats the pure sativa for you - fun fact - I heard Simon the breeder lost his whole stock in a raid 10-15 years back and had to recreate it from scratch.

Not really tried it yet. Is was hanging for about 3 weeks. It will go in the basket for another week and then Grove Bags for cure.

We’re keeping some clones and mothers but not running it in the next grow. The extra couple of weeks it needs mess a bit with the grow cycle. We want to knock the next 21 out in 8-9 weeks and the builders are already 2 weeks late starting our rebuild!

The other two strains are both from Simon as well. I’m not going to have much left to sell I carry on smoking it myself!

She's always been a good producer for being a Sativa but she's very finicky and sensitive to anything really. It's hard to get her to produce properly. She looks like a completely different plant from when my friend grew her. You mostly get the small Afghani effect if she's not happy.

I'm interested in their new strain Seriotica and a few others. I need a good AK47 mom!

Cheers!
 
The origin of Maui Wowie is well debated. Some say it is a landrace strain since it developed on an island and experienced relatively no travel until Hippies arrived in the 1960s. Others say it is a Hawaii-bred mixture of South Asian and Hawaiian strains that naturally evolved during the 60s as a fallout of the Vietnam War. This strain is from Maui

Strain and genetics for Maui are unknown I looked again on wiki leaf

500ppm / 1.0 EC in, 800ppm / 1.6 EC out.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.0 out.
She slowing down on the uptake? Does your amount of run off come out roughly the same each feed?
Mine has dropped since flip so will reduce the time between fertz after stretch stops 😎

Yeah it seems about the same. Drinking more water and less nutrients in late flower.

It mostly depends on how much much heat I'm able to remove and the current weather outside. I feed 5 times a day because I want less salt buildup or less raise in EC between waterings, it also keeps pH from running away from you.

Flowering plants release sugars and acids into the soil in flower, it's hard to calculate and predict what some plants needs. Some grows steady and predictable and others are sensitive and finicky like an old lady!
I could probably get away with watering 3 times a day in flower.

In veg I can water a 3 gallon tote with little less than a gallon a day to the current size Skywalker. That's when I do it by hand, otherwise I go by the time the pump start and when I see it filling the top two inches of the container, then I stop the timer. I don't like fabric containers for this reason, it's harder to cycle the water through the medium because some runoff to the sides.

I also have about 13 gallons of runoff that I have to take care off that's been collecting for the last two weeks. I don't mind wasting nutes since it's still my least expense growing. I use some to my vegetable garden.

Cheers!
 
Yeah that's it. Question.. when growing in Coco with synthetic nutrients if we still add myco inoculants would the sugars produced by the plant still feed the microbes? Then any organic feed eadd will be supported in a microbial trade off giving Coco the best of moth world's? That's how my brain see it anyway.

Building a space for some mother's this week which will still be on a pump and timer hopefully just need to work on slow growth I'm thinking low light and low ppm?

Cheers

Yes it will. Coco coir itself contains cellulose and hemicellulose, both of them get slowly broken down into polysaccharides, carbohydrates or sugar source for he plant.

Even I who grow sterile with bleach and chlorine have fully active fungal growth in my coir. Chlorine kills the bacteria but has a hard time killing of the mycorrhiza/microbes. That's why the sellers of the Mycorrhiza inoculants says it's safe to use with tap and chloraminated water.

It's not really needed and you'll get the same benefits and more from Humic/Kelp mix.

Cheers!

Almost all of the plant food! Got more stock of the dry stuff in the basement. Missing Potassium sulfate and Calcium hydroxide!

First runoff reading:
500ppm / 1.0 EC in, 750ppm / 1.5 EC out.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.0 out.

Stable for now.

Going to steal some lower trash to vape, I have nothing to smoke or vape atm! Living of eating leaves and vaping wet flowers lol. You do what you got to do.

Been away for to long and only had a couple of hundreds grams left when I came back. Soon I'll have enough to last me a year on the sativa front. Can't wait to start flowering Skywalker!

Cheers!

Last days been hectic, a lot of stuff going on! Lowered EC yesterday and had 1.5-1.6 EC runoff. Lowered to 0.9 EC and today I got 1.4 EC out as runoff. Raised back to 1.0 EC. I think she's starting another burst of growth.

Runoff reading:
450ppm / 0.9 EC in, 700ppm / 1.4 EC out.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.3 out, perfect pH out.

This is a good picture showing progress. You see some patches have started to milk up and swell and other parts are not there yet. Still crazy amount of white hairs indicating she still has a lot more to go!

Foxtails growing out of complete foxtails. I will let her grow as long as she wants to!

Edit: Second runoff reading:
500ppm / 1.0 EC in, 725ppm / 1.45 EC out.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.2 out.
 
Looks beautiful bro, nice close up man she's a beast!
Q. I've never been in your position but incase I do.. do you do anything extra to prevent any rot? She's been getting thick for a while!
✌🏽
Nothing special but I do everything I can to prevent it. I've actually had to add moisture all the way in flower, weather's been really dry locally. I have about 200w of fans(4x). Two in the bottom and two in the top, trying to get them to constantly circulate the air, one going diagonally up and the one on the top diagonally down in opposite direction. I have a big carbon filter on a exhaust fan just sitting by itself outside of the tent, that's helps to clean incoming air before it enters the tent, it works a little bit like a air purifier.

I also have a dehumidifier that's been working full time the last couple of weeks during lights out. I empty about 2 gallons every other day, it's a big ass dehumidifier, the biggest I could find on the commercial market! Had it for ages, high quality local brand with very long warranty. I could connect a hose to it two but the reservoir is big enough to not make it to much of a hassle.

I've set the humidity controller to 55% currently and I've seen it fluctuate between 50-60%. If I go lower she really starts to complain. She has a pretty open bud structure so I'm not overly concern about rot. I also run 30-50ppm silicate from start to finish and bleach help to kill off most of the bad bacteria in the medium.

Cheers!

Locked down bro. That’s a super bud structure. Very nice finishing.

500ppm / 1.0 EC in, 850ppm / 1.7 EC out. Lowering EC to 0.8.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.3 out.

I think she's decided to finish, consuming less food and the last little growth spurt was shorter than the ones before. Just low feed and let her do her thing in the last couple of weeks.

Cheers

She's finishing! You can see mature and ripe patches starting to become dominant and she eats way less nutrients. Took a lower sample 5 days ago and some more a couple of days ago. Potency is there and the effect is long lasting.

375ppm / 0.75 EC in, 700ppm / 1.4 EC out. She's been stable here a couple of days.

pH 7.0 in, pH 6.2 out.

Lowered RH to 50% from 55%

Cheers!
