: Breeder's Description - 'Medusa'
Medusa is the latest addition to our harem at Nirvana. Powerful Misty genes contribute to Medusa’s ability to turn people to stone. Firm light green buds have a deep musty aroma and a sugar cane after taste. Superior quality smoke makes up for modest yields. Medusa is an absolute must for connoisseurs.

Kaya is a hearty strain bred for rougher climates or novice indoor growers. Leaning on the Sativa side, Kaya grows big and tall yet finishes early. Kaya has a spicy flavour refreshingly different from Skunk and has a moderate T.H.C. level. She is pest resistant and can take the heat. Perfect for leaving somewhere with a g.p.s. and finding it again in fall. Kaya thrives in a greenhouse as well.

prior to harvest flush the system with plane water 3-7 days

Week One
soaked seeds in water for 24hrs, then soaked seeds in paper towel for 4 days showed roots planted seeds in rockwool cube 2 inches down in hydoton(tell you why only two inches later on) started the t 5 up ,24 hrs for first week , they are on a drip every 4 hrs temp 75 to 80 lights on 68 to 70 lights off humitity 40% with fogger on

Week two
week two startd up the 400 hps plus 4/ 40 watt t 12 fore rest of grow, still on every 4 hrs drip flushed system so no salt build up i found if you dont you cant keep a good ppm reading because they are still babies right now

Week Three
transplanted into 6 inch pots for rest of grow(now il tell you why only 2 inches down in hydoton because i found that for the first 3 weeks that the roots can grow outwards keeps the plant short and bushie because if you let the roots grow lets say 6 inches down the plant will get tall and you have to top it or scrog it or lst it to get all the growth to be even with the top but when you put the grow cube lets say 2 inches the roots have to grow outwards and the top of the plant will be the same size as the root mass no need of scrog,topping.lst required all my plants are round in shape with all grow tips even as you can see in pic they are only 4 nodes high and have 8 buds sites even with top,now with the plants at this shape i put them in 6 inch pot so the roots can grow downwards and start to get tall

week four
started to flower 12/12 i love this part of grow you finally get to see what growing is all about so il finsh this in a month when the hais start to show


week five
nothing so far no pre hairs yet waiting to see if white widow are females yet did rez change and i would say they grew about 4 inches this week they al filled out next week im putting screen in to holdup bud sites see you next week

looks pretty good i did a grow with the gh kit + kool bloom but i didnt know what i was doing got to the harvest and chopped up my plants then found out you should dry them on the stalk it was cronic but it tasted like shit. how many plants are in there?
