Sour power biker & 24k white gold Karma Genetics

I finally moved to a new house and have the grow room up and running again. I made a diy ez cloner and today I took cuttings from the 2 females. I could only take 2 cuttings of each because I wanted to leave a couple tops so they can continue vegging. I'm HOPING I have no issues with slime again with the new equipment. New water pump, new manifold, new neoprene, new net pots. I am going to have to change the game plan as I was hoping for 3 females so I could take more clones and run 6 plants in the ebb buckets, but I only have 4 so I will be doing one of each in 3 gallon dwc buckets and one of each in promix. I wish I didn't have to change the game plan but too many unexpected variables have come up and this will be thebest method to get the ball rolling quickly because I am running low on meds.

As per request, I have killed the males off since the seeds aren't released yet and I don't want any accidental pollination. On a good note, it has cleared out more space to work with in the veg room. I'm hoping by the beginning of November the clones will be rooted well enough to be transplanted into 2 gallon dwc buckets. I've decided to do all of them in Dwc. I will be gathering the rest of the equipment I need over the next 2 weeks and they should be ready to veg in the grow tent under 1000w

  • Hydroponics research veg+bloom one part powder
  • Botanicare silica blast
  • CX hydroponics wilt guard
  • GH Kool bloom

2 sour power bikers and 1 24k white gold have been placed in the dwc veg tote. They experienced no transplant shock and are the largest of the clones with the mostexplosive rroot growth. One is still in the cloner but has trandplantable roots but I don't have a space for it yet. I have an air pump coming in the mail that should be here Tuesday, then I can transplant the last 24k white gold.

The karma genetics gear is the back row.

I got the buckets insulated and ready for the plants. Just waiting on the Ait Spider air stones to get here in the mail. Should be Wednesday. The roots of the clones are coming through the net pots and loving the dwc.

I got my order of Veg+bloomin tthe mail today and starting Wednesday I will be switching nutes from GH to Hydroponics Research.

A little over 1 week veg under HID. I was running between 1.1-1.2 EC with veg+bloom and 1/2tsp per gallon of silica.. just bumped it up to 1.3 because the sour power biker leaves were a little wrinkled and I think it was due to a P-K def problem. Approx. Two weeks left for veg and then I will be flowering. One of the 24k is off to a slow start due to not having room for it to Veg for a week. It's now growing and I've topped it once, the others have been topped multiple times and lst'd. The pictures suck because the hid lighting is on, will post better pics next week.

Thanks smokeal0t, definitely looking forward to flowering. Should be a good show. I'll be getting some grow room glasses soon so my pics will be much more clear.

I started flowering Sunday. New bulb is coming inthe mail Thursday. This one's getting a little dim. May have caused some stretching, not sure. But all is going A+ and shit is on track. I will be flowering at least 9 weeks and see how it goes. The karma gear is the row after the first dwc buckets in the front. :peace:

Damn nice looking in there. Looks like i am going to have 1 ss x bk and 1 sbc that are female. I will be cloning them and then flowering them in the sog first of the year.

Thanks Dr. D, the 24kwg is starting to grow awesome, but the sour power biker is looking like it'll be a low yielder unfortunately. The 24k white gold is starting to stack nicely and very nice growth at the start of flower (it was the runt of the pack a week ago) while the spb has slowed alot now. Not many nodes on it :( I bet that sbc you have is going to be killer! I have another ss x bk I'm gonna pop sometime soon, I think I'll do them outside come spring.

10 days into flower. All is going well, both strains are starting preflowers and pistils. It's getting interesting now. The 24k white gold smells very sweet, like one of those shooters you can buy at a liquor store. Kind of like... Hmm.... Lemon Fun dip? The sour power biker is SSOUR like sour apple pixy sticks. The 24kwg stacks nicely and fills out great in flower, I wish I ran one more since in the garden. It could have been vegged llonger because the stretch isn't too bad at all. The sour power biker stretches like a Richard Simmons work out video. It wants to reach for the sky :p less nodes but THICK stems and FAT leaves. Hard to get a good light penetration due to its thick foliage. It is a great candidate for lst or super cropping, which I've done in flower but this plant should be trained in veg for better results. All in all they look great, the 24kwg looks like it will yield more but we will find out later on.The ec is being kept between 1.2 and 1.3 and pH mostly at 6.0 now.

This thread will continue to get more lurkers due to the lack of journals on this strain. Great job. Things are looking good and we appreciate the detailed update!

Soon as Karma slows down from the Cup, I'll get him to pop in and take a look at the thread. I know he appreciates your efforts logging this for everyone.

Best vibes - keep up the good work, brotha!

No problem brotha, and thanks for the support 8-) good vibes to you and karma as well! I'm pretty amazed I haven't had one leaf with a problem since they started veg, it's been pretty smooth sailing so here's hoping the next 7 weeks is a breeze with the trees:leaf:
