Kinda surprised nobody else has experience with the 8-ball kush? ..it's damn good smoke, especially if you like the landrace varieties

thought i would provide another update. The pineapple express is out of control. If i had known she would had this much vigor i would have tied her down initially or topped her. need her to fatten up

Finally found the adapter a few days ago. Then my normal browser kept giving me errors.
Amnesia lemon end of week 5 of flower. 2 phenos, named according to who broke thru the jiffy pellet first.
#2 Long fast blooming 3x stretch after flip.Easily 14-16" taller than her sister.

Pheno #1 shorter of the two,different bud structure, also seems it's ginna be done sooner than it's big sis. Pistils turning and starting to recede. Definitely maturing faster. Different bud structure as well. It did stretch just not as much as #1. They were both the same size going into flower. I'll get better pics now that I have my shit together.

Critical Kush - 1 in and 1 out...
Overall, consistent and good quality.
Out - Topped w/ longer veg.
In - Topped w/ 1 round of LST.
Nearly identical. Same branching habits and bud formation, same aroma and appearance, flowering stretch - 2X at most, extremely similar final. Not much for stacking? But quality small branches chasing the mains. No nanners.
SIMILAR smoke... leave that one to the topic of drying and curing practices.

day 65 of Pineapple express. She's just now putting out a tiny bit of crystals. prolly 3 more weeks if i'm guessing. still going strong but longer than i expected. Stretch finally stopped. I can't imagine how much a DWC with an HPS would yield. still curious as to what the smoke will be like

Ok everyone, a midway update ..
I would have flipped them over earlier but had to wait to free up space in the flower room .. so this is 80 days since seeds popped , the left side of my room are the seedlings , the right side are all green crack clones. So overall, in terms of structure and vigor, I’m impressed with a few of them. They had some ups and downs as I got some clones that came with little buddies clinging to them which turned into a bit of an issue, some burning from over spraying pesticides, but they all managed to pull thru in the end. Some better than others.
The trend is cookies kush , lsd, bad azz kush seem to be the most vigorous, while some others are more stalky with a nice node spacing etc etc. I’m the end it’s the flowers that matter but I have a few I’ve picked as early winners. Here’s some non bud porn.. this is day 1 flower, cloning fiesta tomorrow. See you all in 8-9 weeks.
Yes, that’s 100% perlite, yes it works quite well, no bugs unless they’re brought in , reusable, clean, no nutritional value, very aerated. Try it.
Oh I should mention cause it’s hard to tell.. the tallest seedling is now 5.5 feet tall. There are several at 5 feet, down to the runt at about 2.5 feet tall. To compare those green crack clones were rooted about 6 weeks ago and are now about 3 feet tall.. they are average / fast growers so almost all the seedlings are doing pretty well minus a few in the middle there that are just chunky little f’ers

Are you treating perlite like soil? How often do you water

I start seedlings in perlite/vermiculite mix but I've never grown a plant in it?! I've used hydroton & lava but never seen it done in perlite, is it a chunkier grade then when used as a soil amendment?

The perlite is like any other medium it’s just to give the roots something to hold onto, I water everyday , twice for newly transplanted plants. They’re sitting on the floor on the pic, normally they’re on tables tilted and drilled in the corner (minimal to just to ensure water runs to that corner ) I let it drain to bucket and dump back into my res.. this is not an auto-recirculating system I water with hose/res/pump .. but it’s essentially the same thing a bit more labour, a bit less expensive to set up , I can water 250 in about 45min I like to spend at least that much time inspecting daily anyway so I kinda just kill 2 birds.. I prefer it to maintaining ppms, checking for clogged sprayers leaks bubblers n all that is just nicer to not have to deal with.. if I was a set it n forget it guy maybe I’d do it the other way.. but I like hands on. As for the perkite, impossible to over water, roots get ton of air, flush is a breeze if ever needed, only drawback can be algae on top but that’s usually only if you’re watering too often.. and I can reuse a nice chunk of it each harvest ; and it will usually be better the 2nd run with a bit of salt already built up rather than fresh perlite. I use the coarse one, but it’s still pretty fine but not dusty

I still have a 5 pack in storage
Any good? I never took the time to try it

Are you having any problems with plants falling over about the buds get heavy?

Actually, that’s the other downfall, they can start to tip in the last 2-3 weeks, I usually tie them up from the center stalk and it’s good till harvest. I’d say about 30% need training most are usually ok, and the more wet they stay the less it’s a problem.. dried out pots will bend more

Are you getting any PH flux like one does with Coco/perlite
collieBudz
Well-Known Member
I basically only mix what I need for the day, so any runoff is almost entirely what I’m putting in.. I feed feed water, when I water, runoff is clear on most plants so I pretty much give them what they need that day there’s no room for it to fluctuate cause every day it’s a new mix, I will check my ph in bucket runoff next time I water just cause now I’m curious.. but I’m sure it’ll be the same as what I set it at in the res

I bet you will see none
coco absorbs where the perlite only drains
But try it and let us know
Thanks
Plants Look wonderful

If you can find a good pheno it's absolute fire. Doesn't yield anything though. For connoisseurs only.
