Master Kush scrog. 150w hps, 1 mini fridge, 1 seed. hydro - flowering PICS

g.l man....

things seem to be going really well. the buds have probably doubled in size since my last update, it's insane. It's almost completed 6 weeks of 12/12, so i should have two more weeks left, correct?

I can't believe how close I am, it's really testing my patients. I'm really looking forward to trying this smoke out, it will be the first time I'll know the strain/origins of the plant i'm smoking. I especially can't wait because the last bag I bought from my dealer was shit weed, so I'm really looking forward to smoking some high grade stuff for the first time.

I'll post some pics tomorrow!

hey any idea if i could grow multiple strains under the same screen? Trying to do kc33-White Widow and a gesiel seed I got in a bag

are you evr going to show pics of your setup outside. like the mini fridge or somethin. i'm kinda skeptical.

you probably could do multiple strains under the same screen. the key things you'd need to pay special attention to is that one strain doesn't dominate the other. as long as you can make sure both strains get enough screen and that one has about the same stretch and flowering time as the other it should be easy.

i suppose you can have an indica and sativa under the same screen, you'd just need to make sure you can handle the sativa stretch and keep it from over towering the indica. it would probably be best if you mentally divided the screen and just made sure to keep each strain on it's own half.

hey dude, i'm holdin off on showing too many shots of the setup because of security risks. but i'll share what i can, and can certainly answer any questions you might have.

here is a pic of the whole fridge. the plant is growing out of a 5 gallon container. there are two black tubes hooked up to airstones and an airpump to give the roots oxygen. the screen is about 4-6" above the res. There is a large hole cut out behind the res (no fan, just an open air intake). then there is a computer fan at the top of the fridge (heat rises), and that fan blows into a DIY carbon filter that is inserted into the hole in the top of the fridge. also, you can't see the inside of the door, but it should be obvious that ive removed the shelving unit (it unscrews easily). i put reflective white poly over the inside of the door to bounce the light around better as well (when i removed the shelf an ugly yellow foam was behind the door). the rest of the fridge interior was already white. i also put the reflective poly paper ontop of the res - to try and reflect more light.


overall it isn't crazy stealth because of the hole + carbon filter ontop of the fridge. but this option was better than to have no carbon filter and the smell give me away. I suppose the exhaust hole could have been on the back of the fridge but i wanted to make sure the heat had the best way to escape (straight to the top). my main concern with a setup this size is heat and smell, so this is how i took care of that.

I keep the setup in the back of my closet, so no one even comes close to seeing it. it's nice that there are no light leaks and the computer fan isn't too loud (can't hear it outside of closet). So overall i'm pretty happy with it! I'm really wondering on my yield, i'm hoping for a couple Ozz

GD that is amazing! Nice grow op. I'll watch it to the end.....

cool man , looks great. super stealth. didn't mean to piss you off. i'm sure alot of us were dyin to see the setup. kind of gives us somethin to learn from .thanks and good luck with the rest of the grow.i'll be watchin for sure

Nice setup & buds + rep.
By the looks of her it should yield a bit more than 2 Oz, but i never count my chickens.
Just remember that patience is #1, in a couple weeks, you'll hear alot of "its ready" but if you want the best from your ganja you'll wait it out. That whole, "harvest early for a head high" wives tale is bogus, the high is determined by the genetics. There is an ideal window in which to harvest marijuana, when the tric heads are fully swollen and at least 1\3rd amber, don't believe the hype. Make sure you dry your bud slowly too, it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful marijuana by putting it in the microwave\dehydrator\oven. Take it slow, you have to consider finishing the weed as part of the process. You could have a Cup winning strain and completely ruin it by chopping early and\or quick drying it. Even if you have to buy one more bag to keep you going, and you're just dying to smoke up the beautiful thing you coaxed from the ground, just wait, it will pay off in the end.
not trying to be a bummer\asshole\patronizing, just sharing my thoughts.
Good luck and happy growing.

i agree with everyoe supurb changes my mind about aeroponics

nice job!!

hey joeyjoejoe, you didn't piss me off at all I know i said i would post pics of the whole setup so I couldn't leave you hangin. I'll be posting more as the plants get closer to harvest.

sprucezeus, thanks for the advice. I've been thinking about my harvest/cure a lot, and I do plan on drying/curing for a few weeks. I actually have about 2 weeks from harvest until I leave town for new years. I plan on drying / starting to cure in those two weeks. and i'll keep them in a glass jar for an additional week while i am away. I am going to be really patient with this like you said, i know it will be worth it in the end.


thanks for the reps guys! Budshots coming tomorrow!

Dude those things are getting huge. I looked up the bloom time on master and it said 8-9 weeks. The one in my closet will be 9 full weeks tomorrow and still looks to have another week or two. It is a beautiful girl. Pimpin setup.

thanks twistd1, yea dude those pics were from last week, wait till I get my post up tonight the buds have easily doubled in size. totally unbelievable to see this grow day by day. This is my first grow and the life cycle of an mj plant really keeps surprising me every step of the way.

I read into the master kush's a little more. It seems there are two varieties of master kush, one is Nirvana's Master Kush which is Hindu Kush X Skunk. And the other is Dutch Passions's Master kush, this strain is a Hindu Kush x Kush. I by chance bough Nirvana's master kush cuz it was a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure which is better, but I've read the Hindu Kush isn't a huge yielder and that breeding it with skunk makes it a lot better yielder and more potent with all the same benefits of a kush. So I'm glad I ended up with the hindu kush x skunk variety. Nirvana's flower time say 7-9 weeks, i know it may vary by pheno. So i'll keep track of the trichomes in the next couple weeks to see when it's ready!

I was only lucky enough to get one seed to adult hood as a female (it is my first grow..). but I'm really happy with the pheno's performance. it's super sticky and has a strong lemon scent. A lot different than the usual bags i buy. I keep questioning if its weed cuz it smells like lemon so much, i never knew weed smelled of other things other than skunk!

I'm heading out at the moment, but later tonight (probably much later on) I'll post the new budshots.

later

i won't say much, i know you want to see the new pics

Yo can you show us a pic of all of the nugs so we can see how the sea of green looks?

sure thing dirtcurt. So a few weeks ago i mentioned i was having a problem with too many bud sites. I ended up trimming leaves here and there, but for the most part i felt it was best just to let it grow. What happened is the strongest buds grew the biggest and are at the top getting the most light. below them there are about just as many smaller buds that are getting less intense secondary light, so those should contribute to final yield as well. "It all looks the same in the bowl" (read that from somewhere, it's a good quote).

Here are the additional pics of the screen of green! one of the top, and one of the bottom (yes, it's one plant!).

looks awesome man

thanks t@ll!

Yea man it is amazing. I'm sure i have the masterXskunk too. I only got 2 girls out of 6 from mine. It was seeds i got from a bag of really good master. check this pic i took tonight. something to look forward too. https://www.rollitup.org/members/twistd1-albums-posting-finally-picture23912-12-3-master-kush.jpg
