and how long was your beg?

Veg was 9 and a half weeks from seed. I topped once above the second node, grew out four tops. The bottom node barely developed so I cut them away and topped the two bigger shoots again above their first nodes and that's how I got the 4 Colas(well they will be colas soon enough)

There's actually 10 more plants down below that you can't see, they are getting some of the 400w vertical bulb you can see in some of the pictures. 4 Big bomb at 4 weeks, 3 Kish at 3 weekss and. Two Kish at 1 week(12/12 from seed) and a clone of one of the Kali Mist. Those plants are kinda just in there for shits TBH. If I yield 2 ounces between them all it will have been worthwhile

you'll get more than that, what size are your pots?

Yea I'm hoping for 2 pounds on the Kali Mist(though that may be wishfull thinking because this is'nt a heavy yielding straing), and 3 ounces on the other 10 small plants(they are all regular seeds too so males will need to be culled). The big pots are 6 gallon and the smaller pots are 2 gallons

very nice man the leaves look awsome almost like blades good work

Yea they are really starting to show the sativa now. As seedlings they looked like indicas almost.

The smell is starting to really pick up too. Just rockin the ONA gel for now, seems to be doing the trick

my last harvest i had 3 almost 3 ft plants lst'd vegged for 6 weeks in 7 gal pots with 1000watter and pulled over a pound, but this go around i expect even better results with more of a sea of green technique still implementing lst though and vegging for 2-3 weeks and 15 plants 5 gal grow bags.

So the last few pages have been just talk... I figured it was time for some pictures

Sorry about the "blue". All my lights are between 5500K and 7000K

a little bit of Calcium deficiency(I think). And look... my garlic is still alive!

Lots of big pistils growing now. 9 days into 12/12. This is definately Mag deficiency. Added some Epsom Salt

yea haha probably they are doing some work, it will all come back in a day or two I'm hoping. Maybe a server is just down temporarily or something.

maybe not though haha

No its all lost there is a thread right here

How is your jungle doing dillest? Despite your pollination I'm sure it is looking pretty impressive. The seeds that you are going to collect are going to be interesting. Shishkaberry X Kali Mist sounds very interesting. How much longer do you think you have until harvest?

I am thinking that my plant will probably go 9-10 weeks. My plant is at 31 inches in height but is really starting to go into strong bud formation. I hope that it will look as nice as yours did at 28 days. Still don't have a good idea if my plant is from a feminized kali mist seed or if it is kali mist X unknown.

Understandable about the backups.. It could have been a lot worse.

Yeah it could have been much worse. I am kinda surprised we have as much restored as we currently have.

btw, I never got to comment on your most recent update. Your plants are looking pretty good. It is really interesting to compare genetics on your current grow. It looks a lot more challenging growing organically. When do you plan on switching to 12/12?

Yea it is looking pretty crazy in there!

The thing is that the room is 4x6, and the plants completely fill that space.. The door entry is too small for me to move my plant in and out and I cannot do anything to actually get into the room to work with the plants...

That was all fine up until a week ago when the colas got so heavy the started falling over all over the place. I also had a few hours when the temperature rose to 96F holy fucking christ! I managed to fix that in the most sketchy way using a blanket and a dehumidifier hahaha just totally ghetto... but it's holding the temp down around 88(remember with CO2 so that's not as deadly as it sounds).

Right now things are looking alot better in there, I managed to string some wires holding the big buds up... but it still looks a bit odd with buds leaning at 45 degree angles and all.

I'm just holding on waiting for these plants to finish. Still 95% white hairs which I find odd considering the plants are in fact 100% completely pollinated. I can pull a small bud off the plant and trace every white pistil right down to a small green seed.

Now the thing that's really bothering me is that I don't know 100% for sure which plant pollinated the Kali Mist and I'm starting to think I may never know. The thing is I pulled 2 males at different times. I assume the pollen came from the Kish because it had the most flowers formed when I found it. The Big Bomb had just a few tiny flowers when I pulled it. The strange thing is that some of my plants have only just started to flower(I'm talking about the Kish and Big bomb that arent really shown in this thread) and they too are fully pollinated even the plants that havent been in flower long enough to have been pollinated when the males were around.

So now I'm not sure which plant gave off the pollen and I'm even thinking that there is a chance that a rogue hermie is hiding somewhere in amongst one of my plants... I really hope it's not a hermie because that will mean my seeds are pretty much useless.
It's also possible that the pollen that may have been shed by one of the males has just been lingering around and that's why the new flowers are also pollinated...

I don't know but from now on I'm going to be alot more carefull with male plants.

I had a feeling I saw a male or a hermie in one of the last few photos you submitted (in the blue series). I noticed it on another as well just don't know how to reference them here. But look them over (a few pages back).

I don't see anything

If there is a hermie it's hiding very very well

I'll know in about 2 or 3 weeks the seeds should be mature enough for me to sprout a few and check if they are feminized or not

yeah most of my thread is gone. I'm on the way to the hydro shop right now to pick up the HPS and some tea; will be transplanting when I get back so lok for a new update. I still have all of the photos so I might do a page-long synopsis to bring it current. I think there's a learning curve for every grower and it takes time to gain the working knowledge to "do it right", regardless of all of the information available out there you have to get dirty to define a style. Organics is treating me right though man and the soil science is intriguing.
