Deep Chunk And Pine Tar Kush

[Guest]

Your grow looks lovely, youve certainly got a green thumb on you. Thanks for stopping by

Leeroy I assure you the pleasure is all mine . I like your approach to growing, much like my own. And its always a pleasure to share experiences...not to mention have the opportunity to gaze upon beauties such as those youve grown out. 3/4 of my plants are still too small to get in each others' way, but it will be inevitable that I'll have to do some chop chop of leaves here and there later on. I do tie down my plants, and am hoping that with some intelligent and strategic training I can keep this to a minimum. I hope you get a better female/male ratio...sometimes even experienced growers can err with the new preflowers...give 'em a few days before the final female count. And if 3/4 of them do turn out to be male...well it just means lady luck will smile on you the next time round. This at least is my wish for you .

Have a nice one Leeroy!

Yes i agree 100% Blue

Im going to keep a hold of the males even past flower stage anyway sweets, not only to make sure of sex, but also to store pollen aswell for my first time

So i will be sure to double check that ratio count

Heres a few pics of tonights routine check @ 6pm every evenin'.

Oh my...Leeroy just look at them LEAVES....LOL looks like some kinda tropical plant with leaves that big...those babies are lovely! And that male is very studly....can't get an idea of how the plant is overall, but the dude is definitely showin' his stuff ...randy bugger .

I also have never tried storing pollen, it doesn't keep very long does it? I mean... long in terms of more than a few months?

Maybe you can help me out with a question...as you've seen my plants look very healthy overall, but I noticed that some leaves on some of them are kinda "wrinkly" looking in places, like the one in your second pic, the monster leaf shot. I can't figure out if this occurs due to heat, or due to insufficient humidity? Or none of the above? Ph possibly? Can you help me out on this? Thanks

Bye

Hash your right man, it is addictive.
I cant get enough. I spend more time in thoughts of my garden than anything else. Sometimes i wonder if Its a bit weird, but im sure im not the only one

Blue, i too noticed the, almost water retention and wrinkly like looking marks on the older leaves. Sometimes it even looks as if someone has pressed fingerprints into the ends of the leaves.
Dimple shaped almost..

Im guessing your right about the environmental factors of moisture/humidity/temperatures, and i did overwater a little very early on...also my ph is running a little high.

I just try to keep the lower stem area clear of dying matter and damp moisture and that should help.

They can be touchy thats for sure but otherwise an absolutle pleasure to grow.

I just assume its natural to have older leaves die off or change due to what ever fluctuations are in environment, heavy handed feedings etc

I could be wrong, as this is just what i have observed myself from growing in my closet.

Thanks Leeroy for the pics and answers...I'm going to be following the Pine Tar Kush grow with interest..did they take long to germ? If I based myself on the looks of those buggers I'd say they'd take 3 months to crack .

So you also grow in a closet...maybe I missed it somewhere, can you tell me the dimensions? I see you start them under the HPS like myself, I imagine you use an agro? LOL...too many questions...how about I make it a little easier and ask just one: Can you tell me what setup you have going?

So if I understood correctly re the wrinkled leaves, you tend to have too much humidity? I tend to have too little humidity and have to compensate especially in the first two weeks or so. So if you have too much, and I have too little, and we both have the same wrinkling going on we can assume it's not the humidity...or is that too logical?

Do you use RO water? What levels of Ph do you have more or less....
LOL ...I promise this is not the inquisition, and my last name is not Torquemada I know I'm asking alot of questions but since I found someone who uses basically the same overall methods as I, I thought it'd be a good occasion to compare relative problems, bothers, solutions etc.
If your grow is similar to mine as far as dimensions and setup go...well we may able to share useful info

Gday Chucky , flowering has under 50-60 days or less to be done by, if they dont finish up before then ill have to do drastic things as i have a major house inspection on the way :/

Gday Blue, nice to have gardening chats with you as always, so dont worry about asking too many q's as im all for talking about my favourite hobby bella.

The PTK only took a few days to germ.
They are mean looking seeds but couldnt be more fragile if they tried when first starting out. This is what i found on my first germ and veg attempt last month.

Very sensitive to overwatering and overferting,and over lighting, even more than the chunks.

The globe i have is a 400watt HPS in a small closet your right. Not sure if the brand is Agro but very similar.

Dimensions are about 1.6 feet deep by 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide.
Small-Medium sized bedroom closet basically.

Usually i like to SCROG for fun and yeild but this time around im growing completely new low yeilding plants, so im letting them be to watch their characteristics.

Its SOG for now with the DC's as they are deffinatly single cola type plants by the looks of it.

At present i dont have any temp or humidity control so it makes it challenging in that regard, and is more than likely a contributing factor to the fluctuations.

Also probably why my clones dont take very well but im working on it and getting there slowly...

My levels of PH are unfortunatly high at 6.7

The tap water I use is very alkaline so i leave it sit for as long as possible but still should be lowering it a little i think. Cant find my ph down around the house!

My feeding water ends up being 6.6-6.7 approximatly, and my soil readings are showing 6.7 on the ph scale, so still a little too high for soil i think. I would like to try and get that down to low 6's and see how they respond.

Heres the male waiting by the side of the female hogging the 400watter herself

The marrigolds seem happy waiting there turn in the shade of the Daddy O'

I need to give the closet a clean but im being lazy again so you will have to pardon my mess.

They are very small and squat little afghani's because i flicked the switch to flower early to fit into a timing schedule and house inspection in a months time.

I thought about vegging for longer but cant have the plants here during inspection at all. Not even hidden well as the smell is already aromatic enough....

Im a bit rushed this season unfortunatly.Its a pain in the ass and such a waste of not being able to grow out a plant to its full potential

But...im a desperate, and need nugs for self medication and relaxation so im going full steam ahead to harvest what i can at such a young age anyway.

Its a pity because they would look beautiful all grown up dont ya think
