Day 65
Kali's are coming along nicely. Had some personal issues which made me neglect them a little but they are hanging in there.
Not sure what this low yield is all about as they have a lot more than I thought I would get. To get a size comparison, that's a Can50 on the ground next to them

Had some extra time today so I snapped some better shots of the Kali's. Burned them a little with their last watering so I'm gonna hold off on the nutes for a couple waterings at least.
One of the WR's was dried enough to cut up and start curing. I was never really concerned with weight but I'm getting curious as to what the final dry weight will be. Also considering I've never seen more than 1/4lb before, I really don't know how much I have. The last pic is all of it but it's stacked on top of each other so it's hard to get a good idea how much is there. As you can tell, the bud on the outside is drier than the inner buds.

Day 70 (these were taken yesterday afternoon)
Going good so far. Still trying to determine whether that's nute burn or some sort of deficiency. Any comments?
The differences in the three are interesting.
One which happens to be the largest and was going to be my mother anyways, got even better as it has the highest calyx to leaf ratio.
Then you have one that is shorter and has a little more leaves but still just as dense as the mother.
Finally you have one that has a low calyx to leaf ratio and is also very airy yet just as tall as the eventual mother.
They all smell the same though
Editing pics in photoshop is a bad idea while high. So apologies if some are a little umm played with lol

Day 78
Trichomes are starting to become more prominent and buds are just thickening up nicely.
A lot of the leaves on two of them are curling down and folding in like they are hungry but the water in still semi moist a couple inches down. I know the nitrogen levels decrease towards the end but is this normal? I'm not talking about the airy one that has the pistils sticking straight out. I'm talking about the one in the first couple pics.
I also took a pic of the White Russian that is revegging. If you look closely at the leaves, I am getting rust looking spots to which I'm not sure if it's a mag deficiency maybe?

Day 84 and I think they are getting close but I'll have to examine the trichs to verify.
My eventual mother had me scared for a few days. In the span of 3 days it went from nice and green to almost all the leaves turning brown like it was time to chop. I had not deprived it of nutes with the exception of the water only feedings that I give between nute feedings.
That has since stopped and I'm left with less than half the leaves left. Maybe it's just that time.
Trichomes are really packing on size and muds are hard has rocks with the exception of the real airy one. I tried some today and I now see the difference between an indica and sativa. I'm sitting here blasting music and jamming out instead of sitting here stuck to the chair. Pretty sweet
Also my WR mother is revegging nicely

Day 90
Unless they hurry up and mature, I'm thinking they're gonna need another week at least.
From the little buds I've taken to inspect then dried and smoked, I now can appreciate the difference between a true sativa and a indica/sativa cross. After smoking, my wife washed the dishes and I cleaned the house in record fashion. I don't enjoy it as much at night as I noticed I can't concentrate on the TV as my mind is racing too much. I had to constantly refocus on the TV as I kept getting lost in thought lol.
My little WR mother is revegging nicely. I don't know how much longer it'll take to where I can take clippings. I'm think another 4 weeks or so.
I truly cannot wait until these are matured, dried and cured properly. It's exactly the high that I have been looking for.

Dude great thread . Just watching ur grow makes me wanna put my kali mist beans right into water, cause i want those huge sativa buds as well.
Great Job I second that smoke report.

I myself ran into the same issues using Fox Farm soil and food. I just starting using cal-mag plus....that shit works wonders. Thanks for sharing that tidbit of info with us....Keep It GreeN!
kali-Supreme job for your 1st get down! Good strains too. Keep It GreeN and enjoy your smoke!
Do you think that the UVB makes a difference? Also, 20W doesn't seem like it can cover even one plant?
I am using a 70W UVB metal halide bulb for my grow and it can barely covers the tops of one, maybe two plants.

Had some issues with my internet for a while so here's an update
Day 97 and I'm still seeing a few clear trichomes. I am starting to get a few amber trichomes but not enough to start worrying as I don't want many at all. I'm really getting an itchy trigger finger to chop but I really want to maximize the number of cloudy trichomes.
I did feed them only water the last watering and I may water them with a tad bit of nutes just to see if I can get any more thickening of the buds before harvest. I said one more week last week and here we are with more time to go. I don't mind though as I'm thinking since they are taking longer, it means they are all sativa phenos.
I don't have any variation as far as smell or taste when doing a quick dry. I did notice today that the more airy plant tended to increase my anxiety but I'll have to smoke it again and see if it's just not the type of day I'm having.
My WR in reveg is coming along very nicely. I'm thinking by the time the Kali's are done drying, It'll be time to start taking cuttings.

Day 104 Harvest Day
First pic is the plant that was very airy so even though the buds look larger, I'm betting it wouldn't weigh as much as the others.
Second pic is the plant that wasn't the tallest but developed very thick colas but had more leaves than the next one
Third pic shows the tallest and it also had the highest calyx to leaf ratio. From the looks of it plus going by how much more dense these are compared to my White Russians, I'm confident that I will have yielded more off of the 3 Kali's than I did with the 4 White Russians.
