Well, i had a thread here already, but i had issues with my old proxy adding log on screens to anyone who viewed the picture. that proxy is long gone. So to keep things good im starting a new quick thread.



I started these over in april 2009, or around. I still have unsexxed plants. At least i admit i've been lazy. time an flower room space aren't on my side.

these where ran in a diy ebb & flood bucket system. 1 gallon bucket in bucket under a cool tubed 1k eye. Lately, I'm a HUGE fan of running chemical nute with organic additives. I get the best of both worlds, quick accessible nutrients, and then the organics add in the microbe ecosystem.


nutes. GH, micro & bloom.

veg at 3mil per gal micro to 6 mill per gal bloom. so 3/6. i do not touch the ph an let the nutes do it for me. changes from 5.5 to 6.1. an let it ride where ever it goes.

then i go 6/9 at 12/12 to day 15-19 , run at 5.8

when the bud sights get to be about dime to nickel size , around day 15-19, i then run the 6/9 with 5 mil pk13/14, still maintain ph 5.8.

around day 35 i do a rez change, and run 3/10 to 3/12. an start maintaining ph at 5.9-6.0. run that sced to day 45 or so.

Day 45 i may run the 3 micro still, or i drop it, depending on there color. full healthy green i drop the micro, if there light green or show some light def's,i run the micro to flush.

so day 45-55 i run either 3/10 or 0/10, bloom sometimes run up to 12 mill per gal (3/12 or 0/12 sometimes). i also add in 150-180ppm or so of Kool bloom powder. usually around 11-1200 ppm @.7 conversion. 5.9-6.0


as for additives.

GH floralicious Plus at day 0-45 at 1 mill per gal.
Botanicare Silica blast, or dynatek Protex, day 0-55 at 5mill per gal
Hygrozyme, or cannazyme, day 0-55 at 5mill per gallon.
Rhizotonic day 0-35 at 5mill per gallon.
roots organics Liquid guano 0-4-0, day 0-55, 5 mill per gallon.
unitil day 55 or so theres always a mesh bag with 1 cup of EWC castings and 2 tbsp of mycorrhizae in the rez with airstones. refresh that once at day 35.

start foliar feeding canna's bioboost at onset of pk 13/14 to day 45 or so. at 40 mill per gallon. 5 mill per gallon purple max/snow storm. every 3-4 days. foliar spray from day 15-19 to day 40-45.

room at 80f. 35-40%rh. co2 arround 1300 ppm




Evey HB i seen had small buds. these were not. maybe another pheno variation. this is the first female i found sofar.

But she is covered with lots of trichs. under the lab microsope i noticed she has ALOT of small trichs close to the leaf surface.


DAY 72, still had lots of clear trichs, some cloudy an very few amber. she could of went to day 80. 15 or so day flush.

more on her smell an taste later.

Enjoy..

Thanks everyone for the praise.

Icetoker, these did have some of the fat overlapping leaves i've seen pics of. BUT, the leaf ratio seemed ALOT less then what i've seen posted out there. Seen alot of those photos out there. where the leaves are stacked overlapping one site to the next. Sites are sorrounded with thick indica leaves. Small buds. She was much bigger, an the leaves had more space and dint create that thick leaf canopy. or seems that way. Lots of calyx stacking compared to the others as well. ( photo's can be deceiving to me sometimes.)

Didnt go into the trichs on her, untill now. I've only worked with like 40-50 cuts in my time. An of those the last 30 or so i had a lab grade microscope on hand. but of those last 30 cuts, i seen something on this cut i have never seen in such great numbers before. the amount of small trichs under the standard size trichs was veryyyyy apparent.

if say, for sizing purposes tall trichs where 1 inch tall, mediums where 1/2 inch, an small where 1/4 inch. Well there where the tall trichs, fewer medium an a shit loads of the 1/4's very close to the leaf. Miniature trichs. Interesting i thought. I know these trichs are different in ways from others, as they are said to contain different cannabinoids. Gonna look more into that later, i forgot where i saw that thread.


Nice lime green color. reminds me of some ak crosses i once had, long time ago tho. soemtimes things blend.

her smell reminds of fresh carpet or fresh plastic, almost like new electronics. Some light rotting smell. i have problems sometimes with describing different smells other then the standard skunk, berry, rotten,sandlewood or haze smells. shes different. maybe this smell would be what some would say chem??/ not sure gonna ask others for their opinions.

Thanks for the praise, an karma thanks for this replacement pack. Your a good person an i appreciate what you've done. K+

More on the smell when i introduce her to some fellow friends.

got 15 healthy clones of her waiting for there spot in the room. when that day comes i'll be sure to post up pics..

Gonna maybe get up some dry pics in another 5 or so days.

Another point of interest here, the large colas did not have any mold. i had a few different plants next to her that i had never mold before have a few spots of mold. even at 35-405% RH. This HB cut did not. thats an A+ in my book. thinking of putting 4 or so cuts outside this upcoming season.

Thanks for the replies. Bergamot, not sure what it was so i looked it up, an can t say i've actually knowingly smelt it. But if its of the citrus family, i can imagine some similarities.

If i was to describe this citrus smell it reminds me of some grapefruit with the new electronics smell , very prominent. If like you lightly smell it, then if you squeeze her it becomes like wow its stuck in my nose now.

One of my other cuts that was the tester for sexxing, smells muchhh more like orange citrus with brown sugar for sure, sweeter, deeper an not as bam in your face. i only have a few cuts an will be taking clones of her in a few days i hope.

Take care everyone an B-safe.....

Hi All.

Well the HB #2, the photos i just posted, is not what the "happy brother describe here at icmag, is" from what i can gather. I realize this with the drying of my #6 cut. Great cut still the same in it own ways. Stil a great find.

Someone here, i forget who here in the KG section, mentioned the HB pheno smelling like orange celestial seasons tea. As soon as i squeezed some of my cut #6 thats was drying. I instantly knew the smell people here are trying to describe. It smells like an orange clover spice to me. Similar to some teas i have smelt as well.

Unfortunately, this #6 did not have a cared for flower experience. it was in coco an missed a few waterings. So she ws not a good representation what so ever. I have cuts none the less, an i will post up when i have something to show, thou it will be a few months at least.

Orangy clover spice tea. Spot on.Very different indeed.

B-safe

Yes that was me with the tea ;-)

It was the closest thing i could associate the smell with.... but when cured for a couple of months it took on a more spicy aroma.....Yes bergamot .

I wrote in my last post i had some HB in veg....... thats not true. I guess i was stoned at the time hehehehe ofcourse i ment HappyChem.

But i have a pack of HB bx1 in the fridge ;-)

peace
