Hello again,
My Yeild??, Well, Let's just say I Know a few groups of poeple who have been growing the OG Kush (from the same Original Mother as the clones I got) for over 2 years now. Their results vary between 1.30 pounds to 1.60 pounds per 1000w Light (stickly soil growers). So it would be fair to say that im expecting anywhere from 4 to 5 and a bit pounds of Bud, and around a QP of Bubble Hash :)
Jaunt? lol thats a good word. Yea it was a solo Trip. The clones were made by the boys. But this Grow is 100% independant. My Risk, My Equipment, My Harvest. I wouldn't dare bringing anyone I loved with me, even though the company would of been nice.


Anyways, The Garden is looking Incredible, I would like to credit the Kushi Kush and the Bud Ignitor for its fantastic early flower development. I cleaned the lower growth one more time this morning. Wow have they ever branched out. Good thing flowered them early.
Pictures and new update coming up on new year.

Merry Christmas to all

Flower Update

Flower Update

Hello once again to all ICMag Club Members, Visitors and friends.

Heres a Current Update on my 57 ladies.

The garden is 32 days old and has been flowering for over 2 weeks. They've definetly been giving one more hard push to stretch and branch out. This is normal for Kush strains and it is expected during the early stages of flowering. Its a Never ending battle adjusting the height of my lights (I keep my 1000watter'S 2 feet away from plants). Nothing worse than a burnt bud tips hay tasting harvest.

I'v been having Humidity issues in the whole house due to my garden. So much so that a couple of windows fogged up, ultimatly making me Paranoid. I Hit up two defferent hardware stores and picked up a 40 Galon Dehumidifier and a 90 Galon Dehumidifier/Air Conditionner. I figured The air conditioner fonction would help for my futur plans during the summer time. 40 Galon upstairs in the living area and 90 Galon/AC in the Grow Room. Now I know for certain my humidity will stays very low, thus making sure I won't have problems during flowering with this Bud mold succeptible strain.

I Have been spending alot more time watering them lately.During veg. I was watering the garden every 3-4 days. Now on their second week of flowering, after 2 days most pots are bone dry all the way threw.
Combination of very expensive Pirahna and Voodoo Juice is the reason my roots are Growing with Fury.(I Swear By these
Products). The garden is also finished with the feeding of Bud Ignitor. I Have used Bud Blood in previous grows and have been impressed by results at start of flowering. Bud ignitor is very inexpensive and has shown me the same great results
as Bud Blood. Ill Let my Bud Pictures Speak for themselves.

I Added a couple pictures of the few clones I made during the lower branch clean-up and training during vegetive stage a couple weeks ago. I'v also taken 1 very strong looking lower branch of one of my plants at the end of its second week of flower and Cloned it..... Im experimenting for myself, to see if Monster cropping can be usefull... producing tones (1 to 2 hundred at a time) of clones for my next crop with a single Mother. And to see if the plants produced from the
monster cropping experiment produce as strong as any other regular non-flower cloned mother would.
Two of the clones are strong and are lined up to be my mothers, but the two others are looking weak, alive but just surviving.. I might just get rid of them. Lets just say im giving them this week as the last chance, lol

Oh yeah, Before I get criticism on my cloning method clearly shown on the single Monstercrop Clone, I'd like to explain.
It's really the simplest method ever and requires no special dome equipment. A plastic ziplock bag is cut to size and
tapped around the bottom edges of the cups, making a cheap single humidity dome. After 7 days exactly, I cut a big enough
hole to fit my thumb threw right at the top (lowering the humidity in my Personal cloning cup). 7 days later I remove the
completelly.
I find that since the cuttings are placed in individual cups they are less likelly to be sunblocked by other clones trying to survive( all closelly tightly packed in cloning trays and domes). Tiny Rootlets and sometime MAIN ROOTS get
torn and damaged during transplant from roots growing in other plant's rockwool or Jiffy Pellet. I'v Never Lost a cutting with my cloning method. 100%. The only downfall is it is very time consumming and not efficient if cloning Hundreds of cuttings at a time.
Try it for yourself, u'll see

Enjoy

I'll take monstercropping for 1000!
More perpetual growers should attempt monstercropping, i failed 4 time over 8 months but let me tell you, number 5 grew into an amazingly vigorous plant.
Awesome solo 4kw and good updates! Those girls are due for a december full of bulking up! Grow on!
