MED-MANS RKS#2 TESTER THREAD!!

[Mikenite69]

Also looks like i wont have to reveg any of these because i have found a healthy S1 seed on a bottom branch so i am sure there is more...

sweet pics mike

sounds awesome too, just not rks pheno

goo thing i sent out testers. the line needs some work still.

i have been growing another rks line too now. they are all very skunky/rubbery/citrus. very close to the rks. i mission goes on. will be nice to see how your road kill pheno turns out

The one roadkill pheno was smelling pretty skunky before but now it's like a burnt tire rank smell smelliest out of them almost to the point where when you stick your nose into the jar u kinda wanna dry heave. If that makes any sense? It's not totally burnt tire has something else behind it that I can't point out.

Also this plant the burnt tire smelling one showed ABSOLUTLEY no colors it was the green pheno out of the 3. I'll have pics up of it tomorrow and the other pheno.

Hey S2 believe it or not my pics I have been taking of the cured bud shots have been with my iPhone 4s with a daylight flourescent bulb above the bud I am trying to capture.

Now smoke report time the bud pictured above was a nice treat to smoke the potency was nice I would give it about a 8 out of 10. It kept me high for about almost 2 hours most of all it cured my pain in my back and leg so it has some good medical properties.

It's taste is very citrus like very smooth also barely any choke. I like the taste of it so much that I am planning to maybe do a bubble hash run with the buds because I feel the taste of the hash would be very very nice.

Now I also have my brother testing all 3 phenos of the rks so I can get someone elses opinion of the smoke not just mine. I'll have those reports back later today I'll also have some cured bud shots of the other phenos also.

On another note I tested some of my burnt tire roadkilly smelling pheno the one that smells do bad it almost makes you feel nausea when you smell it. That one is also about a 8 in potency but this one has a very complexed taste to it. The burnt tire smell doesn't even translate to the Taste of it. It has a very piney taste to the smoke with a citrus bottom to it very very nice smoke I must say. This also keeps me high for about 2 hours.

Now these smoke reports by me were all tested in papers because all I smoke is joints. I also must say the weed is pretty potent because I only smoke about a quarter of the joint to get me that high for that long. Also the high is very much a head high and some body not a couch lock high by any means.

I will report back when my brother comes back to report his prospective of the phenos I sent him home with to smoke. He is a heavy smoker and smokes non stop me I am a joint a day person. So that is why I wanted to get a outsider to try it out I also have him stipulations no sugarcoating it tell me the honest truth wether he liked the phenos or weed and which one is the best out of all 3 and I told him I want potency of each one, taste, high duration, and what Type of high did he get out of it.

Also I wanted him to tell me wether he would personally buy the smoke again if it was available for sale to him from for example if he bought it from someone out on the street and if it is special and how much he enjoyed smoking them.

Peace mike

 

[med-man]

hi mike thanks for sharing

i also love your 3rd party certification technique. very cool.

i would like to hear what a full joint for you does thats the thing with roadkill. the skunk ass aroma was more citrusy/skunky and stuck to the back of the throat like tonsilitis.

looking forward to hearing what yer bro says

Most people with flush them hard. Say you are in a 3 gallon pot you would flush atleast 6 to 9 gallons through the pot. Then you would just water for the rest of the two week flush when you are planning to harvest.

You can also run the pre bagged coco which is already charged and has microrizzae added to it and then you can pretty much almost treat it like a soil grow

Whats good Mr. Nite. I flush the hell out my girls. I run 9gln of tap through 3gln pots, then give them tap through the last 2 wks as well.
I flush them 1 more time, at lights on, the day before harvesting, to ensure they digest only tap within 24 hours.
I used to flush them 4x within the last 2 wks, but found I really dont need to, since I dont get any salt buildup (I dont feed them at all. Maybe 1x through the entire cycle).

They have prebagged coco? All washed out and Microhorizzea added? Thats awesome. Was concidering going coco.
All I need is to learn how to do it. Heard its easier than soil.
I cannot afford a lost crop so Im scared.

You got any other grow journals active?

 

[Mikenite69]

Hey overgrow coco easier than soil lmao. No it's not really well coco in the block isn't I mean maybe if someone has like BLUMATS or some other water system. I would also make sure you have room to run a drain to waste setup or some kind of recirculating system.

I have heard that the precharged coco in the bag is pretty easy to use because of the microrizzae added to it. Plus they balance it out advanced sunshine mix has ultra coir that is supposed to be coco/peat mix but I think it has more coir than peat.

I have always been a promix grower and in promix I really don't have issues or if I do I know how to straighten them out quickly. I mean don't get me wrong there are some people that swear by coco I can see why they do growth rates are crazy fast and u can get a huge plant in a 1 to 2 gallon bucket.

I guess if you do decide to go coco get the pre bagged stuff first so it's already cleaned and rinsed and it has microbes added to it. I would also suggest reading through a coco thread for the do's and dont's of coco and also make sure you treat it like hydro not soil and also make sure your coco never dries out.

This round of plants that I have going I just transplanted into there final pots 7x7 square pots they are not big at all not going for that really. I am also doing a 50/50 mix of coco block roots organic and advanced sunshine mix#4 which is a peat/perlite/coco mix.

Let's see how this grow comes out I am hoping with the added coco I will get fast growth rates but without the hassle of treating it like a straight coco grow.

Smoke report and bud shots coming later today already have the reports just gotta take some bud shots.

 

[med-man]

hey dudes

i have found letting coco dry out is a big big no no. salt will build up and lock out. best kept somewhat moist at all times

med-man

 

[Mikenite69]

You are 100% right about that medman my other plants that I have in beer cups I wasn't around for almost the whole day didn't think they were gonna need water well I was wrong about that my cups dried out and now had all sorts of defiencies that I am still trying to straighten out. I am hoping with me recent transplant and peat added to the coco they will turn around quickly.

Also IMHO that my plants were showing defiencies because they were also rootbound so that on top of letting the coco dry out through them for a loop. Well all my plants just got transplanted and get fed some white widow and great white. I am hoping that the roots shoot like rockets into the peat/coco and defiencies straighten out quickly.

I am also saying fudge the chemical synthetic nutes and will be using straight budda grow and bloom with Guano teas every so often. On another note I will be also using and trying to get familiar on a couple plants the "Lucas formula" with just general hydroponics micro and bloom. Trying to find a nutrient line that suites me I will also be running a separate test of rock nutrients on one of the plants.

I know the Organic nutes I'll like I only use to use organic nutes before and I think that is what I will wind up sticking with its alot easier and plants can take them up when needed. But what I am trying to accomplish is to find a synthetic line that suits my style of growing. I think rock nutrients will be a clear winner for me it's basically a 1 part nutrient line. I will be testing these synthetic nutes only on my plants tester plants will only be done with organic nutes only.

If Mike is getting stoned for two hours off of 1/4 of a joint, I think if he smoked a whole joint he would probably not be enjoying himself. I've found most good pot to be pretty much self- regulating. I can't smoke more than about 1/4 of a joint of the stuff I grow or around three or four good bong hits. I CAN smoke more than that, for me though, if it's like most of the really well grown stuff that I smoke of mine or from friends, it usually doesn't turn out to be that pleasant of an experience to over consume.
In my opinion the enjoyment of good herb is all about proper dosing for each individual and the quality of the herb. If the quality is good, large doses are almost never required and usually counterproductive; for enjoyment value or for medicinal value. The only times I shoot the moon is when it's a celebratory occasion and a group of us have decided to blow it out and get fucked up. Then being a zombie unable to speak or barely even able to move is not an issue.
Of course everyone is different and if you're a regular smoker of high quality hash or have built up a very high tolerance over a long period of time, it will take more to get the same affect. For me though a whole joint of the stuff I usually smoke would have me curled up in a fetal position crying for my mommy.
I've also found very high tolerance smokers are not very good at judging the quality of a given strain. I read a story from a guy who grew out some of Mandala's Beyond the Brain strain and he related that after smoking the second joint and while he was on his third he began to feel Beyond the Brain. Well I have grown that strain and if I took more than four good hits I was Beyond the Brain. I couldn't imagine what I would feel like if I had smoked over two joints.
So I guess what I'm saying is that the range of tolerance is huge but I don't think most people can relate to the smoker who smokes whole joints in order to get any affects and I'm not really sure how much value those reports have. This of course is just my opinion but these have been my experiences.

 

[med-man]

hey mike

good call. best thing i find is keep it simple for at least 1 grow- dial the room. get a bumper crop

from there, you know that you can add 1/4 strength tea without any fuss. its all about building to me. a 240 lighter i converted to hydro i ran 3 part jungle juice. with my kind boosters. after that , when rooms were okay, carbs and teas etc were added to the schedge

and LG

one word homeslice - daywrecker. if i have too much stuff to do i will stick to some soft outdoor or some lower grades i keep around grown in soil. i always have something for every occaison

med-man

 

[Mikenite69]

I took your advice med-man and when I transplanted my plants I put them into a 60/40 blend of peat/coco well it actually might be just a tad higher coco because I know advanced sunshine mix#4 has some added coco but not much. I made sure I added more sunshine mix than I did coco though.

I also made sure the top layer about a inch was straight coco so I can see if it helps out with keeping fungus gnats away. Also IMO that the added coco on top should help out with erosion like what usually happens with the peat at the top layer. I hope to accomplish with this medium to be just as easy as growing in dirt without the hassles of it being like a hydro grow. I have used sunshine mix before and treated it just like dirt with no issues at all so I am hoping this proves the same way. Just waiting on them to bounce back from recent transplant and see if they take off in this mix which I think they absolutely will.

Thats what I am gonna do medman 1 plant of mine will be getting a synthetic of general hydroponics and 1 other plant of mine will get rock nutrients. All my tester plants only organic hell I might not ever use synthetics again because I know Organic nutrients and you can achieve great results with it the only synthetic I might use is maybe a bloom booster once in like week 4 of flower but that would be it if I even think its needed. But I feel you can't beat Organics the taste and quality is second to none you might use a little weight but the overall product is superior in every way.

 

[med-man]

hey nike

i like keeping my organic teas to 25%-75% (50% av.)

get the best from both worlds

remember, munic acid is the shit for grows, and will actuall prevnt erosion in your poys, increase nutrient up take and lower stress to name a few

[Mikenite69]

Oh for sure medman I have a bottle of humboldt flavorful which Is humic I like to feed it to my plants like 1 time a week. I have also noticed humic seems to help out defiencys and also plants will high five the light when they are giving humic at the right times. Also have noticed buds get greasy using that combined with hydro honey from humboldt.

Also it seems humic helps a lot with transplant shock as well as when they are stressed out. I will be giving my plants a healthy dose of humic with some silica and maybe a light guano feeding Tomorrow to help these plants rebound from being rootbound and coco drying out hopefully this will help them rebound from being stressed and nute locked.

 

[med-man]

hey mike

totally man. humics and fulvics are sick

[beakermuppet]

Great work guys, looks similiar to some of the skunk lines Ive tried.

Looking forward to the smoke report.

Keep up the good work!
