Rock Star Kush, Silver Rock Star Skunk, ConKushian Grow 2014

[woolybear]

Here's the newly female rock star skunk.

She's a vigorous plant with big fat indica leaves and excellent length on the side branches.

She's been topped once and I've tied down the top branches to around the height of top of the the plant's second remaining node. Top:

Side:

Glad she finally decided to drop some pistils on me. Now I have at least one female each of silver rock star skunk, conkushian and rock star skunk.

On the losing side are the headband and silver skunk bx, who revealed banana claws to me today.

I have four plants left in the tent whose sex is undetermined. Stay tuned to find out!

2 more females confirmed

The plants in all my of tents are female. Final two revealed themselves today. Tally:

1 Rock Star Kush
2 Conkushian
3 Silver Rock Star Kush

are female. The 2 SRSS are big and bushy.I'll tie them down and take cuts tomorrow.

The SRSS in week two has started bud development in earnest. Got some good stretch on a few branches, about 6" of growth since I tied them down. She shares the 600watt tent with a casey jones which I'll be chopping soon and takes up about half the 4x4' tent.

After casey is gone I can fit one SRSS in there. Plenty of light for everybody!

The first round cuts from the 2week SRSS are doing great. Recalling medman's rule of four, the clone that rooted first our of the 4 cuts is currently going beast mode in a 16oz cup.

The roots have exploded since I transplanted, the blindingly snow-white growths are covered with tiny hairs, indicative of a happy plant.

I topped 3 of the four 1st round cuts. The other cuts (Conkushian, Rock star kush) haven't rooted yet.

SubD for this one wooly....you are a few weeks ahead off me on a few strains I got going...will watch yours to see if any surprises pop up

Hey Wooly
Nice job your doing. The RSK is looking just like mine after i take the top out. She does seem to want to naturally grow straight up.
I am finding i am getting much better results with my Conkushions once i start running clones from the selected moms, maybe something about them being more mature by then as they are fairly slow from seed in my experience so far.

Totally enjoying seeing yoiur pics and watching the grow develop.

 

[woolybear]

totally cool slab! thanks for posting the picture of your other conkushian.

we're having another dang heatwave so I've just been running the flouros during the hottest time. I have a new 4' 2x 54watt T5 HO light in the main tent, and a pair of CFLs in the flower tent. The flower tent needs more juice.

The two latest silver rock star kush girls are monsters. I haven't tied them down yet... they will be great yielders. Decent amount of stretching in comparison to the RKS. Flower development is way ahead of the conkushians.

The rock star kush looks to have stopped stretching. She's responded great to the training.

Things sound good wooly. Here you on the heat issue. Not to hot out here, but my ac unit still can't keep up.

Changes from before:

The double 17/26 SRSS tent is setup as drain to waste. The plants sit 1/2 off the bottom.

Other tent flowers are indivdual containers set 1/2" off the bottom as well.

Feeding House & Garden Cocos at around 600ppm. My schedule is a few days each of 100% strength, 50%, and around 0%. Feeding Jack's bloom booster 1x a week at 700ppm.

I think it's fine so far. Great growth and buds n whatnot, but once I finish the bottles I'm going back to jack's hydro.

With my last white jones grow, i definitely notice a difference in taste compared to the jack's. Not better, but different.

edit: need to brew TEA
