Hey sam, how's the tunnel treating you? I bet those babies are looking real nice by now.

I'll be watering tonight and I'll snap some pics.

There are 36 days into flowering and the buds are really bulking up.

I think this weekend I'm going to trim some of the upper fan leaves off to help bulk up some of the lower buds with the better light penetration.

I haven't been updating that much because my camera is messed up and only takes one good picture in 10 shots. Its not just the focus, the pictures come out laminated with inverted colors, thats about the best I can explain it. Its just a pain in the ass to have to sift and sort through 30 or so pics to get a few good ones.

I can't wait until harvest day, this will surely be the biggest harvest yet for me. :)

Here are a few pics, as promised



They look like they aren't being fed calcium, but I'm feeding them 8ml/gal of botanicare cal-mag. They are getting 10 next feeding, sheesh.

ususally about 60 days, they look ready at 50 or so days, but if you let them go another 10 days they pack on more weight in density.

Hey Admiral Canna, I've got Mango and Haze Special in the seedling stage right now and will use them for an outdoor grow soon to come. The Haze Special actually came with 11 seeds of which every single one popped and the Mango 7 of 10 popped so far. The Mangos were a little bit slower to pop, so the other 3 might pop in the near future, but I'll be happy with 7 if they don't.

With both of my orders of their beans, I had good germ rates.

marijuanasaur; the pc fan is just supplimental, the hole it is in is the intake duct that goes to a living room ceiling vent. There is a stanley blower fan pulling air through a carbon filter and blowing through a duct routed to the washing machine room.

Day 54



close ups below



I started to flush them a few days ago, this hempy trough only needs watering about every 3rd day or so, it can go 4 without any ill effects. The day after the last watering, the leaves really started to look bad, some are clawing down, dead leaf tips. The leaves of this strain stay dark green, they don't fade to yellow and then die, they go dark green to death.

I think next round they will be getting more cal-mag, it seems they can't get enough.

hello mate,i have got a kc selection going on at the mo, of kc36,kc33 and kc mango
i mixed up my seedlings so was trying to identify the kc36 with mine but i think
my kc36 could be the mutant plant that i have in my journal as my other two look
a little different i think.
the little thing never really kicked off when put into flower and had realy small leaves
which went dark green also and are now die into yellow crisp but they are also 7 weeks
in on monday comming so that might be reason also.
the other plants beside them are doing ok.
nice to see some kc,s up.

Hi rocky, I just popped some mango seeds and most were mutants, I only got 3 normally growing seedlings. Some of the mutants are funny, they only have cotelydons and no regular leaves are there at all. All the haze specials look great, I got 11 seeds in that pack and all popped and look good.

so my mutant is likley the mango then eh.
i also popped a couple of haze specials but didnt get a female
the haze looked like it could have been a good one if it wernt male
looked totaly different structure wise to anything i have grown
mine looked like it could have been a single cola type plant
but just a little bushier side branching was only a couple of
inches from main stem.

i will keep popping in and see how you are going mate.

I'll be starting an outdoor thread in a few weeks or so, once I actually get some outside and planted.

I have pics of the mango and haze special seedlings in my album if you want to check them out.

The final weigh in was just a tad over 6 ounces.

It will be a while before I post the next round in there. I have a infestation of root aphids. Meanwhile I'll be doing some painting in there and getting new fans and the rest of the lights setup.
