Boneman's Kali Mist & Columbain Red Haze "coco coir grow"

Here is my new grow journal. To keep things simple and timely, I've started this journal today which is also my 1st day of 12/12.

Germ'd Nov 28th (paper towel method):
4 Kali Mist
4 Columbain Red Haze (Rojo Haze)

Nov 30th placed all 8 cracked seeds into rapid rooters under humidity dome. Lightly watered and misted inside of dome.

Dec 4th planted all 8 into 1 gal grow bags filled with coco coir and placed under 400w MH. Coco mixed with perlite (70% coco 30% p'lite)

Dec 7th Started 300ppm nutes (AN Monkey Juice) 8oz per feeding.
I feed the plants 2 gals of nute mix then alternate 1 gal of ph'd dist water with Blue Mountain Organics "Super Plant Tonic". I have done this throughout veg with distilled water ph'd to approx 5.6. I used the color chart for ph...I have a hanna tester coming in the mail tomorrow to be more precise with the ph. I also use Cal-Mag in my nute jugs @1/2 strength along with some micro tea. I have bumped up my ppm by 50-100 with each jug and have had no signs of dislike. They have taken all the nutes with no problem . We have gone from 300ppm to 1000ppm.

All 8 plants have been super healthy and have grown very very well. They really stink but in a good way. Nothing like my last AK47 but maybe as much odor just not as strong.

Dec 30th Cut lower 1/3 of all plants and also topped 1 Kali and 1 Columbain. Hopefully they will turn out female so I can compare results.

Jan 2nd Woke up this morning and noticed my MH light wasnt on . Ooh well, they got a lil extra dark time before I switched the lights. Changed bulbs and closed up the cab. 9pm HPS comes on and off we grow!! I will finish up my gallon jug of grow nutes then start with the bloom nutes.

Can we hang on together for the next 3-4 months and get through this grow?

I'll take some pics tomorrow and show you what they look like. I will tell ya that a few of them are 14" and the shortest is 12" so not much difference there. I hope they are not all males grrrrrrrrrr. Very nice plant structure for sativas.

As always, please feel free to give me your opinions, comments, or suggestions. I have very thick skin and am not offended easily. I valued all your input with my last grow and it helped me harvest a good amount

Alrighty folks Here are the pics I promised

Yesterday, Jan 2nd, 2009 I moved them into a different cab (smaller) and under 12/12.

Today, Jan 3rd One KM showed pistals it was one of the taller ones too. One of the other KM's I think is growing nutz but will have to wait till tomorrow to confirm
None of the other 6 plants are showing signs of sex yet but I imagine the rest of the KM will show tomorrow. Serious Seeds strains are good for showing sex early.

I just finished up my gallon jug of grow nutes (one gallon lasts me 2 days). I think I will mix up one more grow mix, feed them and then do a PH'd distilled water/SPT feeding before introducing the AN Monkey Juice Bloom a&b. AN's MJ is specially formulated for growing in coco coir. I know the girls will consume more in the coming weeks. I will also transplant all the girls into bigger grow bags or square containers...not sure yet

The plants are in a smaller cab now and I know they are cramped in there. Hopefully I can cull out a few males and give the girls room to grow.

Please feel free to make comments, suggestions or complaints.

I kinda liked your nice sweet little flower field avatar you had up for a while. It was so soft! LOL

I hope they dont overgrow my cab...I started 12/12 when the tallest was 14" and if they triple in size I will be good. I have an air cooled 400w so I can pretty much take them within inches of the light. I also topped the tallest ones about a week ago.

Depends on how much Sativa dom they are,i have grown 2 1 grew too fast and tall and discarded,the other grew like a indica but flowered like a Sativa!And it took forever to top out.haha on the soft!!

One more KM showed pistals so that makes 2 out of 4 so far! Sometimes its funny how you can see pistals from one angle and not from a different angle. It's almost by accident that ya discover the pistals. Anyone else have that or is it just me?

Nothing to report on the CRH as of yet.

My babies just went to sleep and I can say that this switch to 12/12 combined with new living conditions has definately stressed them out. I hope to cull out any males soon and make more room for my ladies to flourish.

2 KM female
1 KM probably male
1 KM unknown
1 CRH female
3 CRH unknown

Had a bit of a humidity problem and I added a damp rid container.

Plants growing nicely again and I am going to give a feeding of bushmaster @10ml per gallon. Hopefully one or two feedings will control the growth spurt during the first few weeks of flowering and solve any potential height problems.

Funny thing with this grow is the tallest 3 plants turned out to be females

Pic update tomorrow

Not a whole lot to report since yesterday

KALI MIST (1st pic)
3 KM female
1 KM male
Not bad heh? 75% female to male ratio. Gotta love Serious Seeds strains
Yanked the male and sent him to his death

Columbain Red Haze (2nd pic)
1 CRH female
3 CRH unknown

Hopefully by the weekend I will have all CRH identified and disposed of if needed.

I've included 2 pics, 1 of each strain.

nice looking plants man good growing i think im gonna use trash bags with my own personal mix this year outdoors

Thanks grodro! I'm going to put them into bigger bags or pots as soon as I can finish sexing the final three. I already have four females out of the 8 that I have been growing. 4 plants is what I wanted to grow but it looks like I might have 1 or 2 more females when its all said and done

Thanks for stopping by

Nice job are those from seeds the thick ass stems is the reason I ask

I see a 6 ft plant coming out of these!! MONSTERS

Thanks for all the comments guys. The sun is about to rise in the Bones household and hopefully I can ID the remaining plants. Ideally I would like to have 2 KM and 2 CRH, but thats out the window unless I cull females. I dont know if my space can handle much more than 4.

I used bushmaster the past two days to hopefully control height. I havent really seen much verticle growth since I've used it so I guess its working?

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully soon I will have better posts and pics. Dont forget to hook a brother up here and there. I got some -rep recently for telling someone good luck...I was like WTF?

****UPDATE**** Jan 9
I just disposed of another KM which was male. I must have misread my label on the plants.
KM - 2 Female, 2 Male (sent to the GRAVE) 50/50
CRH - 2 Female, 1 possible female and 1 unknown (I think there will be 4 female CRH)

yeah Im running cali mist too. i will send you some pics

Wow there MoG...Quite a few strains in them bags. What growing medium are you using?

As of this morning, I have:
2 KM female
3 CRH female (I seriously think the last CRH is female also)

So that would be 50% for Serious Seeds KM and 100% for CRH. The CRH was a free seed batch I received with ordering a certain amount.

Looking good so far bro, I wanted to get the CRH hope it turns out great I heard some good stuff. I was thinking of trying some Colombian Gold seeds next round. About how much do you water everyday with the coco? Did you use the recommended amount on the bottle for nutes or did ya weaken it to start? Sorry for the Q's bro just really interested in coco.
