Seeds are the product of a Sour Diesel male that must have polinated my Kandy Kush female due to moving it around so much with obvious preflowers because I gathered approx 70 seeds from the KK and never saw sign of herm even while harvesting and smoking the buds. I chose that name myself, and guess I am the only person to cross these strains that I could find. It is possible that they were crossed by a Holy Grail Kush plant that did herm late into flower, but I suspect that was the result of the several immature seeds I also collected and discarded.
Now, onto the grow. I started 6 seeds in peat pellets in a gem tray with dome on 10/24. Within 1 week all 6 seeds popped and broke ground. Seemed to be about 2 a day after day 3 or 4 when the 1st 2 came up. I am using Just Natural Organic Potting Mix screened to remove as much filler chunks as possible. I use RO water, and will have nicely amended soils to transplant into.
For veg, I will be using Espoma Bio-Tone Starter Plus 6-3-3 as my sole feed source while in the 1 gal pots along with AACT's to keep a good healthy micro heard going. When I transplant into 3 gal pots, I will be using a mixture of amended soil and the Bio-Tone and continue the AACT's.
I am currently 2" from tops with 2 4' 2 bulb T8's with 3000k tubes to assist with faster root development. Once I see 2-3 nodes above the single leafe set, I will switch to 4' 8 bulb T5HO with even mix 4000k and 5000k tubes with the 2 T8 fixtures used as side lighting. Once they are topped and trained out to a solid 18"x18" they will go into 10 gal pots of amended soil under 1000w MH for 2 weeks at 14/10, then will switch to HPS bulb for the finish.
I am 100% organic on this run, and trying to keep it RO water and AACT teas only, but will add nute brews as needed if any issues should arrise. I am still very new to growing and organics in general (3 harvests and 1 pending in 3-4 weeks, 2nd attempt with organics) and am definitely open to advice and constructive criticism.
I will get pics up tonight when I get home.
