Karma's OG - Karma Genetics

I feel blessed and honored to have the ability to run these magical seeds. These will be babied, loved and treated with the utmost care. I want to give out a big thank you to KarmaG for all your hard work dedication and commitment to this amazing plant. I know much time and effort have been put into many years of hard work creating these amazing seeds. I know that this strain is very special to you, I know you have poured your heart and soul into creating this plant. I will put equal effort, passion and love into this grow and treat these special plants with the love they deserve.


Big thanks and shout out to RandomMan and KarmaG for making this happen!




This is going to be a great grow, there are so many exciting things going on right now in my garden. There is so much fire in the genetics Im lucky enough to be growing right now, add these to the mix I'm speechless. These girls maybe a little late to the party but nothing wrong with being fashionably late. Besides they are the cherry on top on some amazing seeds Im lucky enough to be growing.


Equipment

Veg Room - Consist of a 2 bulb 2ft Hydrofarm T5 for starting seeds and clones. A 8 bulb 4ft Hydrofarm T5 for bigger vegging plants. A 250w MH light thats used for larger plants getting ready for flower.

Flower Room - 60x60x80 Grow Tent - Using a 1000w HPS/MH switchable ballast with an air cooled hood, squirrel cage and carbon filter.


Grow Medium

All Soil here as simple and natural as I can. Will be starting plants out in FoxFarm Ocean Forrest with added perlite. Once they are transplanted into larger pots I will still be using FFOF with added perlite and worm castings. They will start out in Solo cups and eventually be transplanted into 5gal pots for flowering. They may be transplanted to 3gal first but will be in the 5 gal pots by the time then enter flowering.


Nutrients

Midway through flower plants will probably be given a top dressing of fresh worm castings. For feedings I will be using the FoxFarm line up of Big Bloom, Microbe Brew and Kangaroots Root Drench. During veg only the root drench and micro nutes will be used. During flower the combination of all 3 will be used. I give my plants lots of pure water their entire cycles trying to only use the nutrients when necessary. I like to keep things simple and basic and let nature do the hard work for me.


Training

I usually top my plants between the 5th and 6th nodes and will plan to do that with these. I feel it gives the plants enough time to establish a good root base and grow strong. I feel this sets things up for good branching and easy training. I will plan to tie down and pull out the top shoots to work the plants into short little bushes. Im expecting a good amount of stretch on these girls, so keeping them short and bushy is the game plan during veg.


10/20 - The Start of an Incredible Journey

My seeds arrived today safe and sound and not a second too late. To say I was a little antsy and anxious for these babies to show up would be a bit of an understatement. A perfect way to start the week couldn't ask for anything better. I received my Karma's OG seeds nice safe and sound and in perfect condition. They are all small seeds but look very healthy and mature. I can feel they are giving off good vibes and are telling me they are ready to start their magical journey.


The Goal

To let nature and the magic inside these beans do their things. I would like to show off this amazing strain and let the community see the special plants awaiting to be unlocked. I would love to find a special mother plant to bless my garden with and keep the good vibes rolling. I really want to just grow these babies in all their glory and show the community these great plants. I will provide details on everything good or bad, even if I screw something up. I stay steady and consistent with weekly to bi-weekly updates throughout the entire grow. I will record my opinions, observations, thoughts and descriptions of growth, structure, smells, taste and effects. I think I tend to go overboard at times with information and pictures so expect lots and lots of both. I know KarmaG put so much love into these, I have been highly anticipating this strain for months. I just hope I can do the justice that these special seeds deserve, I can feel the good vibes and karma rolling.


6 of 6 Karma's Og - Placed in a shot glass of water to start germination






Once they crack open and fall to the bottom of the shot glass, they will be planted. I will place them in solo cups with FFOF with added perlite. I like to make sure there is very good drainage and aeration in my soil, especially when they are starting off and young plants.

I am so honored and excited to grow these plants thank you again RandomMan and KarmaG.


More updates coming soon.

Update 10/21 - Germination is a Go!

Well good news 6 of 6 Karma's OG have cracked open and dropped the the bottom of the shot glass. All had dropped well inside of 24 hours of being in water. All 6 have been planted in Solo cups filled with FFOF with some added perlite. The waiting game begins to see how quickly these babies pop about the ground stay tuned.


More updates coming soon.

Update 11/2 - Grow Little Babies Grow


Sorry for the lack of updates and activity but it has been very slow going the past 12 days since the previous update. We last left off with 6 of 6 seeds dropping to the bottom of a shot glass of water and being planted in cups of FFOF soil. Normally for me the plants seem to sprout within 3 to 5 days of being planted in soil. Almost always within a week everything will have sprouted above ground and I will then officially begin counting veg days.

As of now there are 4 of 6 plants above ground, at this time I fear the remaining 2 will not pop up. It took 7 days for the first one to break ground. It seemed to be about every day to other day another plant would break ground. The last baby popped up on 10/31, I will continue treating the remaining 2 like the will still sprout but I have my doubts. The 4 Karma's Og that did come up are growing slowly but look to be otherwise healthy.

I have done everything with these seeds that I normally do when germinating, planting and tending to seedlings. They were placed in the same soil mix as my other seedlings, watered with the same water and used the same light source. I have no idea why their growth has been so slow as I have changed nothing with my methods. I feel that this is an error on my part somehow rather than an issue with the seeds.

The best guess I could come up with is with fall coming in and colder temperatures could cause more dramatic temperature fluctuations. I have other plants that were started a few weeks earlier that have had no issues or slowed growth. I also have some clones that were taken shortly after these seeds were started. The clones appear fine and have started rooting. I still feel this is a problem caused by me or my environment, even though no other plants have shown negative effects. Im not sure exactly what the temperatures have been getting to at night when lights are off. If I had to guess I would think it has been a fairly large shift at night. Assuming this is the issue I have opened up some extra heat vents around the grow room so it should stay warmer at nights going forward.

They are small but do appear healthy very easy going by size to see which order they popped up. Hoping they get their growth going well here and really explode with some vigor in coming weeks. I will make sure to give them lots of love and attention regardless.
