Keep'n It Legal With Pink Kush #2 & Lava Berry Kush

[UseMyName]

I'll edit or add some pics in another post to this journal in a bit, but I just wanted to get it started with a few details...

Keep'n it Legal...to that NOTE I'm a Colorado Resident going on 3 years now. I started my first grow late 2016, linked in my SIG below. In CO the law says anyone can grow up to 6 plants with no more than 3 of them in flowering stage.

I started with 6-7 seeds in my previous and ongoing journal and have since culled down to the Legal "limit" 3 plants in Flower...it has taken me two months just to get my first plants ready for the 12/12 flip, but I've already been thinking ahead

re: Keep'n It Legal With Pink Kush #2 & Lava Berry Kush

So I got this cabinet/closet I'm not really using lined with panda plastic a few days ago, but these girls have been goibg in here under a 27W 6400K flouro for over a week now

2x Lava Berry Kush seedlings & Pink Kush #2 (a clone)

Seeds Sourced from BUDZ i SMOKED.

The Pink Kush, I bought it at a Dispensary KNOWING it might have seeds in it (they said so, and even put it on the label.

...and hope i find a few more seeds yet from the 6-7 grams I haven't smoked yet!

the LBK I was pretty pissed off when I started finding seeds in it. NO WARNING
Oh Yeah I was PIZZED, I paid $120 for a half ounce of this Dispensary's "Bud of the Day" but they didn;t say "it might have seeds in it" and I have found over 3 dozen, and still have 6-7 grams of the LBK Budfz left to smoke. Only 6 of them original seedz even looked worthy of poppin. I Didn't have any aspirations to grow just yet, and the first bud to produce seeds dropped 12 white useless little LAVA BERRIES

EDIT...WOW I just posted a pic from another thread...figuring this stuff out I think...lol

My hand written journal says I started these LBK seedlings on 1/7/17
I soaked about a dozen seeds in a shot glass in a dark place in Carbon filtered tap water for about 12 hours, then any seeds that had sank to the bottom or had visibly absorbed water were transferred to a moist paper towel for 36hrs @ 80F. After 36hrs 4x LBK seedlings that had sprouted were transferred to rapid rooter plugs which were then planted in Pint pots with a 70/30 mix of Coco/Perlite


and the pink Kush clone was taken after a training accident on 1/9/17
a broken side branch was inserted into a rapid rooter plug. I didn't wait for roots to form before transferring it to the same 70/30 mix of Coco/Perlite

Seedlings and clone have both been feed according to Heavy16 seedling/cutting feed schedule
Yesterday I mixed up 2 quarts of week one VEG formula at 50% strength and each pot was soaked to 10-20% run-off

I myself can find very little experience reports for Heavy16 Nutrients, both here @ 420mag and searching other sources. The feeding schedule pictured above is a card from the hydro store. Other feed schedules are available Heavy16 Nutrient Calculator and vary depending on grow media and/or reservoir size

Today I added the same 200W/3200K CFL bulb that I used in my first grows seedling/veg stage, except that the first time around I used the 3200K CFL bulb first and added the 6400K Florescent after about a week

On that matter I'm seeing much less stretch in the LBK seedlings than I did in my first grow with PK seedlings, but I am also giving them a little more TLC/Abuse maybe? My first seedlings I would bat them with my fingers 2-3X each day, at first to get moisture spots off of them but also to toughen them up and hopefully avoid any early stem stretching/falling over. One plant still required some support, a twist tie held it up and a few days Adding an oscillating fan resolved the issue

and by "a little more TLC/Abuse maybe?", I mean that instead of just batting at them I have also been twisting the trunks about 180 degrees in each direction 2-3x each day

OK so more on Heavy16

It's basically 6-9 different products that you mix in a variable amounts

So quick info:

HEAVY ROOTS to stimulate roots/clones/seedlings.
HEAVY PRIME your daily PK boost, is there when you need it to make Big BudZ
HEAVY FIRE is also a growth simulator used in greater amounts at other stages of growth, especially during flowering.
HEAVY VEG-A & VEG-B
HEAVY BUD-A & BUD-B
HEAVY FOLIAR being the Cal/Mag solution in this product line.
almost forgot to include HEAVY FINISH

 

[UseMyName]

I'll try to post pics on a few of each of these priducts each day

HEAVY ROOTS

HEAVY PRIME (the smallest bottle and by far the most expensive product in the lineup, but a little goes a long way

HEAVY FIRE

Anyway...don't do what I do unless it works 4U!

Awesome. You got free seeds. I love it when I go to the dispensary and get good bud and it has seeds. In fact I ask them if they have weed with seeds and usually get a discount. Sound like you got hundreds of dollars worth of seeds free. Gl on your grow.

A quick note on price for these Heavy16 Nutrients, everything listed above in the sizes indicated was about $250.

Now many of those retailed at just $7-24 a bottle, but the liter of HEAVY VEG-A and pint of HEAVY FIRE hit me at $65 each

I spent about $600 at the hydro shop in that week though since they was giving a nice 20% discount over the HoliDaze! And I've since probably ruined $100 or more worth of supplies and noots. First building a leaky RDWC system and second making mistakes when mixing noots, but at least I'm getting experience.

Sure I get excited when I'm expecting them...but when I'm not and the bud averages 6/g with 9 out of 10 of them useless white immature little Lava Berries that obviously arent worth germinating and typically Ruin a bowl when you miss one or you grinder crushes them beyond recognition and ruins a whole joint

And the few seeds i got to germinate, IDK? I'm guessing this is a sign of unstable genetics?
They looked just fine, for such young ladies before removing the humi-dome a few minutes earlier. Same thing happened when I removed it for 10 min yesterday

Been trying to toughen them up the past couple days. After just 10 min of taking the humidity dome off and appling a gentle fan;

Pink Kush #2 looking like a Champ just like Mommy. Both LBK seedlings though, hey are just so sensitive to any change in humidity right now. Just a difference in this strain maybe or an indication of unstable genetics is my main thought.

Either way, I think I'm gonna torture them more yet, either into submission or till death. Later today I'll stick them in my flower tent under the big light for 1/2 the day. Give them a little shade via the big girls but if that doesn't whip them into shape in a few days they may just go in the bin...

Count-down to torture...47 minutes

There are SO MANY Good and Developing journals here, I wish I could do more for less...lol ;-)~

I linked it in hope of hopes of sharin more info about HEAVY16 prods! Let a message, I hope they call me back?

Fellow grower came by today,said "That grow's not legal", put a lock on the door, problem solved

OK so a week in the Flower Tent did these Ladies well

Close-up of leading LBK seedling, "Eagle's Wings" (as you can see her wings have been clipped. They were getting to raggedy, but did gave her a name.

 

[UseMyName]

Oops nope she still has one "wing" intact...lol

You can't really see it from the overhead shot, but the u-turned edge of one side or the other of the central leaf on some of the newest growth/future fan leaves, it is tipped up a bit the same as these orginal first set of leaves was.

i gave baby pink#2 some serious abuse today...been reading up on "super cropping"

so i broke every neck after some gentle training
