Hello
I can definitely recommend skywalker kush, at least the cut i've got from a friend. Skywalker and the candy kush is kind similar in bud appearance, yield, smell and taste.
No i just clone using a mini green house/dome, clonex gel and jiffies made of coco, not peat. The reason for the crazy long roots is that i neglected the cuts because i didn't need them anyways. Normally i have decent roots within 14 days, these are at least 21 days old. Now they are in the thrash can :)

Hello.
Earlier on i talked about one pck pheno that was a winner compared to the other. Got one purple, 3 non purple. The purple was airy and kind of shitty. The other 3 were ok, not impressive, but no purple color which i was after. This last one was bad at rooting so it wasn't bloomed together with the rest of the potential purple phenos( 4x PCK and 5 x GDP). When this last pck was in vegge i decided to toss all the PCK moms and keep 3 GDP(2 purple and 1 smelling crazy) - didn't have any hope of this last one being awesome. When this last pheno was developing in bloom i could see that it was a keeper so took some cuts and hoped they would revegge. I have had 4 bud like cuts standing with root in pots for at least a month without anything happening but then today

Here is the reason why i wanne keep it

Last just a bud shot of my god old skunk no 1

Considering buying a macro lense for EOS 500D. All pics are taken with the standard 18-50 mm lense.

good stuff man, lvoe those roots!

you should post that picture in the root porn thread.

Hello
The reason for the similarity between skywalker and candy kush is due to a mix up in the cuts i got, so it's probably two candy kush i have been growing. Btw my pheno is shit to clone. Takes three weeks to before 2-3 fine roots are peeping from the jiffy. Maybe some stronger rooting hormone will help.
Skunk no 1 is rocking the basement again so no pics. 1 st floor is in vegge and will be flipped soon. I have 5 Hawaiian snow to test, the rest(13 plants) is mixed strains(Chem valley kush, Candy kush, Sweet tooth and Granddaddy purps - a crazy smelling and tasting but low yielder pheno).
I have been popping seeds for the last couple of grows on the 1 st floor. Next time i will try some of mine own seeds, seeds are to damn expensive. I just bought a 10 inch 1,6mm piece of fine silver and hooked it up to an old battery charger and made my own colloidal silver(approx 50 ppm = 0,07 mS/m, a bit i doubt about the conversion between mS/m and ppm). The plan is to reverse a skunk no 1 and pollinate some of the stuff on 1 st floor that soon will be put in flower. Fingers crossed for some crazy hybrid vigor :woohoo:

I have been messing around with tria trying see what concentrations are best and how the tria works on cannabis...

The purpose of this is to test the effects of triacontanol on different parameters related to yield and yield. The plants used were not originally intended for this test therefor the 18 plants consisted of six strains. The strains were two different grand daddy purps (gd1 and gd 5), hindu kush (hk), chem valley kush (cvk), candy kush (ck) and sweet tooth (st). Treatments consisted of no spray (k), foliar spray with 1ppm triacontanol (1) and foilar spray with 5ppm triacontanol (5).
Plants rooted three weeks under an 8w fluorescent tube in jiffy pots. Then vegged two and a half week in 1 L pots with coco from IKEA under 2x36w fluorescent tube cool white. Then another two and a half week under 400w hps before being transplanted to 4,5 L pots and vegged for four days more. Then plants were put under 600w hps and vegged three weeks before flower was initiated under the same 600w hps. Plants were treated with triacontanol three times during veg (one time under 400w hps, two times under 600w hps) and one time in early flower. Plants were allowed to completely dry before being put back into the tent. Fertiliser was canna coco a and b 1-3 mL/L, ph 5,6 with slight increase in flower, canna pk 13/14 1,5 mL/L during week 4 and 5 of flower. Min:max ec 1,3:2,3

Plants were measured to obtain height, average inter nodal distance and number of shoots after last triacontanol application. Yield was obtained after drying to an equilibrium humidity of 62,5% after 9 weeks of flowering.

[FONT=&quot]Absolute values used for the statistically analysis[/FONT]

To circumstance the problem of comparing different strains, values were made relative to the control plants (k), so a value above 1 indicates higher absolute values and under 1 a lower absolute value compared to the plants not receiving triacontanol (k). An * indicates significantly difference a the 0,05 level.

The position of the plants in the tent, from last triacontanol application and onwards to the end of flower period. Before that plant was randomly moved around once a week. My general experience is that corner plants tend to yield lower (gd1 5, ck 5, cvk 1). The only effect of triacontanol seems to be an increase in shoots per plant at 1ppm, all other parameters were not significantly different from each other. I still think triacontanol can have an effect on yield, but the effect is not possible to see in this test due to the effect from different strains and light intensities (the before mentioned observation of corner plants low yield and mutual shading). Maybe another test with only one strain and 9 untreated in one side and 9 sprayed in the other side. Comparison could be made as average of all 9 plants or average of delta values between position gd1 5 vs. ck 5, gd1 1 vs. hk k, gd5 k vs. gd5 1and so on.
