[KingRalph]

okay. i promise i won't do the postabunchacrap thing just to boost my count. but i was hopin to get to chat, maybe another time. thanks for takin the time to answer, WWM. guess it's as good a time as any to start a grow thread for my new kona cherry x skunk seedlings. see ya 'round
i've edited in a baby picture for your time

 

[Guest]

Yeah. Ya'll need to discuss this subject heavily cause I'm bored and hangin alone.

 

[KingRalph]

alright! thanks for bringin the convo here for my unworthy posting self (i read too much and post too little lol)

this isn't my first, i've been growin for just a coupla years. like most once i started i couldn't stop hehe. first soil, then hydro, now both, just can't ignore the greatness of soil organics mmm. those littluns are my first cross, i'm tokin bogbubble right now, and was recently blessed with beautiful cuttings by an incredible soul.

the seedlings are just in some soil, worm castings, and lots of perlite. more than i've used before, might be why they keep stretchin. or it could just be b/c they're a pure sativa crossed with skunk #1, but i digress...

hope ya toked at 4:20am if you were up WWM

 

[KingRalph]

uh oh, CF's posts are at 0, i hope he didn't get nasty at a mod, that wouldn't be nice.

i'm sure they only ban for very good reason. getting nagged for no good reason... could be a good reason, so... oh wait, i know what happened LOL that is funny. the request you musta made was answered by having your post count reset. hahaha oh man, i'm crackin up. you guys have a good sense of humor to do that, cheers

 

[KingRalph]

um, caus that countryfolk there was banned i went lookin around to see what was up (i normally just jet in the growin n vendor sections), and realized it was all over the 50 post thing and that perp spammin mutliple nicks yadda yadda so i feel a little sheepish havin tried to use the chat and asked about it in the midst of all this without knowin. so, sorry guys didn't mean to lol i feel like an ass, i just couldn't login to chat is all. ima go start that grow thread now.

(note to mods, i deleted an old account from '04 i never used. with all the hooplah of that person's mutliple nicks i figured i might as well kill that old one. and there is absolutely no sarcasm in my last post, i was audibly laughing when i saw their posts drop to zero hehe good call)

be cool n safe everyone, peace n green thumbs to all

 

[Guest]

u don't wanna know what goes on in there, lol post up those kona shots brotha! Love that color! Kona hybridizes real well my clone smells of sweet strawberries in veg it's kona (same as yours i think we established) x (Jack Herer x Jack Herer) i gotta thread for ya if yer scared lol i havent posted in quite some time but at first i went a bit nuts, keep it relevant and grow related and your set, 50 posts in no time,
i didnt even know i had 100 until i got a bit passed it, i dont really look at my post count it means nothing imo... someone can whore 100 posts in an hour if theyre puter is fast enough.
I feel chat should be limited to those who contribute relevant/grow related info to the boards, maybe 25 posts and a GALLERY a digital camera is 25 bucks at the pharmacy, you can also buy a disposable at a dollar store and have them developed at kodak as a cd rom for uploading here at icmag. I do not understand those folks who say "but i don't have a digi" YOU DONT NEED ONE! BE CREATIVE!...You need to be in this hobby.. but hey, im just a salty ole cap'n what do i know?

be sure to come back here to link us KR , i am 1 lazy chataholic and rarely wander out the stable anymore , it keeps the mind at ease especially with all the drama around here lately.

Chat = Good Karma Now with the post thing in effect
but... everyone is in a bad mood lately for OBVIOUS reasons, im sure things will work themselves out in time.

if you are curious about anything related to growing
about nutes
seed buying
security
etc
etc
etc
PLEASE post up in the forums this is how your count goes up, get out all those questions you always wanted answers to, the membership here is phenominal (spelling?) , most folks are seasoned vets and know their shit damn well. then you'll be able to come on into chat with us and fire questions or opinions at the pros for their expert opinion. It truely is a blessing for those who need that extra bit of help like me and I hope to see you there soon.

Stay safe and be well

PS MORE PICS OF KONA!
KONA
KONA
KONA

YUMMY! cherry skunk liquor oolala, what seedhouse is that skunk from if you dont mind me asking? i find that the kona doesnt really like super high light levels when young but stretches like hell if taken too far away, keep movin that light around if possible to find a sweet spot, by that time tho theyll likely need transplant, my cross was super finicky, loved the organic program, didnt like metanaturals responded GREAT to maxi crop and cold-processed fish (neptunes harvest) and doesnt mind a soil dry out every now and then. as for the stretch tho i would try a weak kelp feeding to boost root growth and build the microherd nice and early. your mix sounds great, i am going to run this clone mom in promix str8 will have pics for ya shortly.

keep up the hard work king ralph

wwm much love and respect bro

btw i doubt u can add too much perlite, they would look over/under watered if there WAS a problem imo

 

[KingRalph]

lol wwm shoot away, 20 questions! ;p really i'm in no hurry, i see it more as a sort of privilege than a right so i have no desire to take a side room in to chat yknow. i'm glad the new rule cleared it up, made plenty of sense to me when it was mentioned. and i'm sure spirits are on the up n up, i'm not too fond of drama on boards, but it's real and it happens, but more often than not is blown outta proportion. when the dust settles the ceremonial smoke rises, and all gets better
here's a link over to the CherrySkunk thread, they just passed one week old, buncha pics of the kona cherry flowering too

thanks for droppin in captain, i'm gonna try to post more often too, i'm usually spending almost all my time reading, there's usually talk about what whatever's on my mind already recorded in threads somewhere at some point in time. but the concentration of all classic, new, unique and expiremtal plants here, not to mention the methods of those who care for and work with them, keeps me interested

our kona's have definitely sounded alike, without a doubt point me to the thread man! they definitely enjoy the organics, and it accentuates the odors so well caus they process it like candy, just imagine the volcanic soil of kona for a century or two hehe. i dug through my pictures for some of the kona cherry's first flowering, she more than doubled from switch to over 5' tall...

 

[KingRalph]

and the second time after a reveg, when she stressed and pollinated herself, and instead of being under a dual 250 MH+HPS and getting tiger bloom nutes, was to the side of an hps and only got pure blend grow...



hope everyone's garden is well, thanks for lettin me share my photos peace n green thumbs all

Holy SMOKES!

Holy SMOKES!

Ralph, you are by far a better grower than i if those are the same plants, the kona weve got is more sativa looking in the buds (same structure as your #1, that 1 i believe is a possibility) Our konas are lime green (the "pedigrees") the hybrid is a dark rich forest green with the great defined glossy leaves. Getting strawberry vibes coming off the fresh growth top on the newly water-rooted clone..mmmmm strawberries

cj

ps- WWM Where u at dude? fire back here if u wanna chat, just holla and ill be there faster than you can say *shamone*

hurry up and post Ralph! u got the goods man those nug shots are to die for , especially knowing the smells that emit from them crunkchunks.

enjoy your bounty and dont forget to make oil, kona oil was alm,ost TOOOOOO sweet, lol chk your pm ralph

 

[KingRalph]

actually i just made cannabutter with the lower remains and clippings of the kona i was saving for a couple weeks (the initial baked goods of the other plants did a number on me so i decided to wait lol). i have brownies and lemon poppy seed bread in the other room that i cooked earlier. i keep it simple, i've never made oil before, but it seems like a great way to concentrate. and strawberries! ohh the sweet fruits of hawaii...

this flowering did throw me off a bit since the difference is pretty big, but i think it was the less amount of light and most of all that light being entirely HPS. the first time, when she was most sativa-like in bud structure, she was under a light with a 250w MH and a 250w HPS getting the full spectrum. but she smelled the same both times. a little more cherry-ish when she got the tiger bloom nutes the first time...

here's her sister, smelled similar in earthy liquorness, but not as strongly and without the cherry, did seem to put on a tad more weight though...

and here's a group shot of 12 weeks i think, the one on the far left was from a different bag in hawaii, just some indoors. on the far right the cherry.

while in kona, from some incredibly chill n friendly kids that grew up on the island, an ounce of the kona was huge, with long sticks of "bud" that was so airy you could practically see through the alternating calyxes. it was so dark, almost black and so sticky and hashy. we had asked for something exotic. it was grown in the forests i can't wait to go back, you can feel the life of the earth there...


the mountain behind me casting a shadow beyond the horizon

this gives me an idea...

 

[KingRalph]

oh btw cap'n, the skunk #1 was the best from a pack of gypsy's freebies in '02 that, if i remember correctly, he said came from sam the skunkman's 2001 crop he had gotten many hundreds of thousands of. but my memory is shotty, might not be from sam at all, wherever those freebies came from, gypsy would hafta elaborate. see yas

 

[Guest]

hurry up not many now ,,,,,,,,,nice pics btw
