Hi all of you drooling Krypto fans!!!


...I have no experience with cali-kushes except from The Grey Areas weed menu and growing out some Reservoir Seeds - Petrol (ecsd-bx1,5 IX)
I did not know anything about what I was up to, but I start getting the idea as the first week in 12/12 is over...




THE STORY SO FAR

• 600HPS/16sqft in Home-Box XL
• Soilmix: 15%cow-compost, 70% peat, 5% perlite, 5% EWC, 3% Premix, 2% Guano, Kelp, Ashes and oystershell sand
• Veg Fertilizer: Plagron Roots, Fish-Mix and Bio-Grow + Seaweed tonic
• Bloom Fetilizer: Iguana Juice, Big Bud, Humic/Fulvic Acids, Tea, Seaweed tonic, etc.

I received a packet of beans right as I was splitting from the 420-party this year.

Finally got to drop 4 beans in water then jiffy pellets sometime around mid-June. Only 3 did finally sprout, due to me cooking the germinating seeds a bit, but I ended up with 2 strong (smelling) girls, of pretty much the same appearance.

Sad to report that I didn't shoot any pictures in the germinating and vegetative stage. THis was partly because this ain't too interesting as almost any Cannabis plant look very much the same then...-but also because I didn't find my digi-cam at the moment.

During this 5-6week long period I transplanted from cups to 1 liters and later into 3 liters where they'll finish off if they don't bloom for more than 2 months... (Any tips on the flowering period Captain?!?)

They where a bit slow in the first weeks, but a soon as a good little lump of roots was established they took off strongly and vigorously.


PS! I did put both plants under a sort of LST/Supercropping in veg where I squeezed/crushed the stems and bent them to help them branch out more and stay shorther. It helped a bit on early branching (although with large pots and halides for vegging I believe the structure would have been branchy enough anyway.) Some shadow leafs will also be pruned and I aim to have 3-4 branches on each plant


**********


INDUCED FLOWERING - Week: 1 (day 1)

OGK #1 (plant no.1)


-No 1 is slightly shorter/wider, and with longer, more protruding branches.
(Height approx. 45cm)


OGK #2 (plant no.2)


-No. 2 is more of a SOG style plant where the branches are sort and prefer to grow tightly crammed along the main stalk.
(Height approx. 51cm)

Both these kushes are the most pungent pre-blooming plants I ever encountered...-oddly enough the third plant (male) do not have such strong odor, and it is rather fresh and onion like with some citrus infused.


**********



PRODUCTIVE FLOWERING - Week 3 (Day 20)

Until this point the bloom phase has been really uneventful, (Although I had 2 nights where the door got closed very late).

The pots are tiny 3 liters and respectively need watering daily with maybe one resting day in the week. I give pure tap-water once to twice per week, and whenever I let the pots get on the drier side. In addition I usually give diluted tea or fertilizer, or at least wet down the medium quite well before fert'ing it)

-Apart from 2 weak doses with Iguana Juice Bloom, the plants have received only my pre-blooming tea and tap-water. My actively aerated tea (AAT) is basically brewed with water and molasses and EWC/Cow-compost/Kelp/Rock-dust/Guano/Fish-meal/Soybean-meal.

PRODUCTIVE FLOWERING - Week 4 (Day 28)

OGK #1 & OGK #2





**********



PRODUCTIVE FLOWERING - Week 6 to 7 (Day 45)

The more sensitive OGK #1 has been flushed and given less nutrients than the other since middle of week 4. This was done as a result of slight leaf curling that appeared in week 4. That stopped and full vigorous flowering was re-established within a short week of noticing the curling...

OGK #2 & OGK #1


As you can clearly see this is a very resinous strain and practically one of tightest crystal covered lines I've ever encountered. It also has a seriously sweet citrus scent, but it is all veiled in a sticky and pungent pot stench. (odor control MUST be cleverly utilized!!!)

-I'd also like to point out that the productivity of these plant seem to be just fine. I have been keeping them in the dullest outskirts of the tent, in tiny pots of cheap general purpose potting soil, and given them merely iguana juice and tea (with 3-4 high p and k applications in mid-flowering and now in week 6.)


PS! I am still very amazed with the similarity between these 2 females. (I also have 2 AK47 girls next to these OGK's and those are looking like clones!!! Only seen this in Skunk and Warlock until now.)


**********


RIPENING - Week 9 (Day 58)

In week seven there were no photos taken, but the period was essentially un-eventful. I basically gave the plants GHE Ripen @ 4ml/liter twice around week seven and eight. The plants had water for two days between applications. The pots was also watered with extra run-off in week eight so both these Kush ladies yellowed out as expected.
-The OGK#2 was opening its harvest window after about 55 days of bloom, and it seem to be able of going towards 70 days. (OGK#1 had a slight nutrient challenge in week 3-4 so she is a little bit behind. But this one also show long slender calyxes on more elongated buds than OGK#2, so it might very well be that the sativa heritage is heavier present in her too!!! )

OGK #2 ( day 58)





**********


RIPENING - Week 10 (Day 64)

We are now in the beginning of our 10th week of flowering mode with these lovely kryptonite green ladies... I only got decent shots of the finished OGK #2 this time around, but the OGK #1 is hanging in there and still packs on flowers every day (although she is a little starved right now I reckon she will go towards 75-80days...-with help of a sparsely spread tonic of AN's humic acid and GHE Ripen I bet it is gonna be good enough.)

looking good man cant wait to see them flower...

[KindBudKid]

Yes very nice ladies you got there... Got a pack in veg myself so it'll be interesting to see the flowers those put on.. Good work, very healthy..

[Kenny Lingus]

Wow guys! Thx for the insanely fast replies! K+ for the efforts friends!

[Capt. Crip]

Go with it Kenny!!!
Thank Swerve as well....
Keep the pics coming and grow on............................ ......CC

[GOATNUTS]

plsnts look healthy..cant wait to see some bud kenny

[Mr B.]

Taken any clones, Kenny?

[Kenny Lingus]

Hey Mr. B.!

I was about to take cuttings, but I've been lazy and I'm not sure they'll make it. (I could always revegetate if impressed.)
-Hopefully cuts from the OGK #2 will take, but that is my only hope right now... (And more seeds of course)

[Kenny Lingus]

As a little update I am proud to sayt that one of my OGK cuttings has finally stroke and is rooting/growing happily in a 5dl cup of organic soil as I type...

The two ladies have barely reached the end of week 4 and are in good shape. (my environment is pretty dry and as I grow in tiny pots I often experience a little curling of budleaves on new or sensitive plants, and this happened to one OGK too. -Personally I think the RH from 20-35% is the main reason for this as some plants tend to act this way no matter what I do.)

As I finish this little letter I just wanted to mention that them femmes are really putting out some interesting scents lately...

PS! Pictures of development will be added soon.
