Mandala Seeds Kalichakra Grow {comments welcome}

I started ten from seed; one of the was strangely deformed and didn't really germinate. While I was out of state for three weeks during a veg that lasted too long, two if them died, and the others nearly died. My roommate was taking care of them. He tracked spider mites into the room and only watered them (didn't feed them). Of the remaining 7, 3 were female. The best looking plant turned out to be female, and I have 8 clones off of her. I also have one clone off of another one of the females. They lost so much veg growth that I couldn't get many clones but were too tall to continue vegging, so I finally built a temporary flowering tent, repotted them into 15gal nursery pots and started them flowering. I was too embarrassed of how they looked for a while, but things are looking much better now. It's day 28 of flowering. They look maybe four or five days behind compared to another Kalichakra grow that I watched on breedbay. I think that it's probably from the stress that they went through just before flowering. I've been vigilant with the neem oil, but there are still a few signs of spidermites in my grow room.

I'm feeding them Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice right now. From what I can tell, this stuff eats ph tester, so I'll be switching to Botanicare Pure Blend Pro for the next crop of 9 plants. I'm hoping to really get my feeding schedule for the Kalichakra dialed in with that second crop. They're in 50-50 coco pearlite. I veg under a 400w metal halide, and flower under a 1000w hps.

Without further adoo, here come some pictures chronicling their growth over the last several weeks as soon as I resize them to be postable.

I started flowering June 15, so this is 14 days in.

I got some new Liquid Karma this day.

Here we still have deficiencies, but there is also some droop and slight curling that I think was from overfeeding. I thought I feed the girls a little more than I could.

Three more days along. Clones are rooted and planted. The ones in the rockwool have been struggling from the start. I have way better success with the super plugs.

The signs of the over feeding and the deficiencies are waning. They look so much better. I'm going to post these, then the ones from today, and then I'll post all the pics from before the 29, when I started really keeping track of what was going on in there.

Here are today's pics. I'm so excited. They're working--at my last place, it was too hot, and those ladies just wouldn't work. The last little girl from then lived under cfl's for several months. She's bubblegum x silver haze and now lives in a 30gal container in the back yard.

They're struggling in a lot of these pics.

Today, I got a 20 gal container to hold water so that I can let chlorine evaporate out of it before I water. Plant number 1 took a half gallon of water today. That's the thirstiest that she's been yet. I'm most interested in #1 since she's the mother of my crops to come. The other two each drank about a quart as usual.

I'll be getting some mylar for the walls some time soon. I just saw something that I think I'm going to try in seemorebuds 3. The guy covered cardboard panels in mylar so that he could move them around and hang them where ever he wanted. What's everyone think?
