Kush Groove's Kush Grove

what up fellow growers...im back for another one
i got injured, took a short break, and now im playing catch up.....but anyways on to the grow

Im still running 400w CMH and 2 Blackstar 240w LED's......all organics...no funny nutes or strange chemicals
currently ive got the cmh on the flowering towering master kush and the led's and the babies

The Garden
two small plants flowering, 3 clones and 6 from seed
Master Kush 42 days flowering after reverting to veg twice....grown from a clone, ill blame it on bad genetics

and what does she do.......go back into veg for a third time........i think im gonna harvest her tomorrow

on my way out i dropped my crutches and ripped all the new growth off of one side of the pure afghan....oh well, i think ill get at least one clone out of the damage.....not sure if she's male of female yet though

im not too mobile right now, so ill post individual pics of the babies in a few days.....my first time growing from seed and im loving

Master Kush Harvest.......around 42 days flowering
im about 2-3 weeks early on the chop but this girl is no longer flowering.....she revegged on me for the third time
huge buds....i would have loved to seen these girls finish
doesnt smell like the master kush im familiar with....more of a sweet lemony scent on this bud


the lower buds are going back into the tent

subbed. read your first thread when I was looking into buying my LED.
what do you mean when you say she's re-vegging? growing new branches & shit?

what up curly, the first batch of compost turned out great and im already using it in my current grow



i first had to let it dry out a bit before running it through the mesh bucket screen by hand
close up shots of the black gold
and then mixed the home-made compost with peat moss and vermiculite and im currently using it as my soil mix

most of the maggots died out this winter so composting has slowed down a bit, but when things warm a bit they increase in numbers

very nice man glad to see things are going well

glad to see your back kushgroove I have been a coco advocate for awhile now when I was a noob I tried to hand water a bucket of hydroton and completely failed haha always been scared to use vermiculite peat moss or perlite how do you like it does it help being in the soil then simply having the soil in itself?

whats up dap.....seems to help out a lot in my opinion
i actually ended up adding a bit too much peatmoss my soil mix was pretty airy and started of without much nutrients in the mix.... i countered that by feeding the plants every watering until i noticed the leaves were green enough and the soil finally came alive....with all the extra peat moss the soil mix tends to hold a good bit of which works out great with the fabric pots ive upgraded to, which ive heard people complain about having to water every day....im sure you already know the vermiculite and perlite is used for drainage and creates small air pockets in the soil

I finally got around to taking some individual pics of the small plants

Composting Update


Bin A....adding fresh materials daily

Bin B.....composting for a couple weeks

Bin C.....composting for several weeks

Bin D....composting for a couple months; added compost from Bin C, then added red wigglers to bin

Bin E......composting for a couple months; added red wigglers to bin

hopefully the worms survive this time.....i killed them off last time with either acidic compost from using too much citrus or pesticides from the orange peels.....i stopped adding orange peels to the compost so hopefully everything works out

there were a good bit of maggots in the compost but from what i understand the red wigglers produce better composting for plants and they eat a whole lot faster

plants and compost looking good as always man , shit i wish i could do up my own soil and compost mixes but my climate dont allow for it ..... well maybe in the summer.

Cataract Kush......day 2 of flowering......began flowering at 5th week since germination

Platinum Jack Sr. & Jr.........day 24 & 16 of flowering

Master Kush....

.....after over a week of drying
....i couldnt load the bowl fast enough so i did an empty weigh and subtracted the difference
.....so 307grams total -177grams of plastic = 130grams of bud.....which gives me 4.5ounces of bud

i think its gonna be good year
