Javadog's Next Adventure

Well I figured since I took no clones, I would make some crosses.
I was surprised that no seeds sprouted.
I would have let her flower longer to fully mature the seeds, but since no sign after 3 weeks I just shook the pollen and pods off her and yanked her out

Man JD my first Electric lemon G did this. It formed seeds all over it, but i NEVER saw a ball sac. I thought the first run it could have been from the sinmints next to it that got a couple balls. So I ran the clone of the lemon G, and same thing, I just trashed it a couple days ago. It was only about 4 weeks in, and had seeds ALL over it some how. The rest of the plants have been fine so I know its not a group pollination thing.

I suppose that I am hoping for a similar outcome.

I will be taking the BD and examining the plants tonight.

Thanks TC

I have been using kelp4less humic fulvic blend for a couple of years now, along with their azomite and mycorrhizae powder/granular. I've used them in teas but prefer to mix them in soil or top dress with powdered molasses. I do that for no reason other than i dislike the mess, time and effort needed to bubble teas and clean up after them. I've always preferred the raw applications over commercial products like LK for some reason.

If you're considering K4L, go for it!

Kelp4less is great!

Thanks, will do!

I do add Growmore's Seaweed Extract to the occasional feeding.

I love making the teas, but have my process down now. I have a
nice little pump taking water up a 3/8" line up about 2.5' over a
35 gallon plastic food barrel. I have a 2-line pump making bubbles
with a nice big stone on the bottom too. I rigged the pump to be
suspended about 10" off the bottom so I do not get clogs.

I add kelp flakes, humic acids, alfalfa pellets, sugars (kick start),
compost, and a special manure blend of starter material. Then,
after a day or two, I add some mycos and Plantone, the latter
for it's bacterial colonial units.

I also brewed up a gallon of lactobacillus and I add some before
I apply the brew.

It removes the chlorine at least! :0)

It is not food, but a base water, IMO, and I add foods at will.

The only plants that I burn seem to be those bound-and-determined
to burn. (think Purple Wreck)

Onward and upward,

JD

I used their bloom packs, but had lots of yellowing.
I was thinking about their other stuff though..thanx for the insight!

I scored some compost from them as well, which seems to be very dense and rich. I've mostly used it for tea diversity to this point but I will probably just toss the remainder in with my next soil mix.

You really can't beat the bulk economy of K4L. Also, they are Johnny on the spot with customer service!

Yeah, and they have some videos on youtube showing how to replicate some expensive things like Liquid Karma

They carry Fish Hydrolysate too, another ingredient of LK.

Back from being dumb muscle for the in-laws.

This plant made really good mid-level buds too:

The harvest, hardly trimmed yet:

Pap, I am pretty sure that this plant exceeded the yield of my
SOG Victory. With a 3X3 vs. a 6X6 I figure that each 5 gallon hempy
must yield as much as four of the SOG elements yielded....and I think
that it exceeded it.

I will post some more shots. I am putting the Sensi Skunk #1 into the
tent. It had a month to recover from a har-cut and it is perfectly ready, IMHO.

I've had a grow where I think one single ball grew on one plant. There was one lone bud that had about 20 seeds in it. Aside from that the rest of the plants had 5 seeds combined. Like one seed per plant. I think it can happen where one gets one single ball, and that pollinates the bud it grew in/ on.

I would call that a blessing! Did they turn out to be fem?

62 days after flip.

I have to add, it was beautiful going in:

I thought that you would all enjoy this BD Top Shot:

Check out the pistil color!

I can't wait to taste it. It made me stink. Me. Hours later, I still smelled. LOL

Looks great JD. The Kalashnikova I had seeded out a plant and never touched the ones next to it. I hope the same for you.

Thanks Jimmer. I hope so.

I do not sell, and look on seeds as an interesting side effect,
especially just the occasional seed.

If I do not find balls on anything, then this all might have been
caused by a Plushberry clone. I mis-identified this plant as a female,
took clones, corrected my id and destroyed the father, but found the
clone with some popped balls in the clones area some time later.

It was a minor event, tiny, and they did not look to have been
all that fruitful, if at all, and so that might be a red herring too.
(i.e. there was no pollen on the plant in the area....a real pollen
dump is a mess ;0)

We will see.

I took a shot of the new plant in flower this morning.

Sensi Seed's Skunk #1:

This plant was blasted with Kapow! (Indian Lemon Grass Oil) very, very
thoroughly right before it went into the tent, and it will be rinsed well
when the lights come on at 10 PM.

Onward and upward,
