Northern Kush (NL5/Hz x Master Kush) & CBD Critical Mass

[Islandgrower]

Still dont know... I will tell in few hours..

The upper parts of roots I saw was good healthy roots...

But overall plant helth could be better and once I saw theese f.ckers.. I told myself it have to be changed...

I always wanted to try coco, I tried and will repot to soil... As I have great results with biocanna, I hope it will be best choice

In my experience with coco after transplanting I let it dry out almost completely before giving a proper watering so after transplant I do not water for 3 to 5 days thereafter regular daily or every other day. That way the roots expand into the fresh medium . Get great growth rates that way.

Yeah, I will try coco some other time
I thought Iam ready on it, yet again everything is not in order, I dont get it... Everytime I use coco there is a problem...
I think the biggest issue is hard water without RO..
So I will stick with soil for now...


Now for the plants
The roots where not so small as I tought, wondering why they didnt drink water more...
The pest dissapeared, I didnt find any today 8 o ... But I was in hurry when transplanting.

I cleaned biggest parts of coco from the roots, inspected them, they all look healthy white.

Aplicated some foliar Canna spray for leafs, and did also wet the soil a bit (100ml each), then added a very mild nutes sol. of mainly rhizotonic for roots to recover from damage I did to them (100ml each)
I really hope, they dont wilt on me in next few hours and that they get the taste of soil I gave them

Ptree, next time on cocos try this:
Only cocos and cocos a and b as fertilizer. That’s it.

I use one brand and follow their schedule for years. Never had any issues again. They are cheap too except few products such as Green Sensation. I don’t use it.
I don’t think you ran cocos this time but mixed soil techniques on cocos?

Yes, to some extent.
Iam used to made my own organic soil and grow in that, also trying to not use much nutes at all..
So this was a trial of some kind,, chalenge for me... And I stoped that from going any further as Iam to test theese beauties, not my skills

Also I had read to much info on how to grow in coco, and info on canna website, feeling that I could do it, because I used coco to aerate my soils some time..
But the worst info for me was, keep coco saturated all the time, that is the biggest issue.
Next time I will make a better decision making hopefully / maybe I could have just leave plants in coco, it was already almost dry and roots were everywhere, so I think it could be managable..


Now I hope tomorow plants will be still in pots awaken and ready fore some sunbath, catching green
edit: plants are astill up after few hours...

edit2: ttoday morning everything seems fine atleast....

Yes, you must flood the table and make sure the rootpouches touch the surface so it gets soaked.
The bigger they grow and the more they flower, the more you flood. Never seen it on cocos though, I think it’s better you drip and drip more as they grow and flower.
I bet you can pull this off but keep it simple. I would recommend hydro on a floodtable though. That rockwool stuff you can piece together and is used for clones too is excellent for flooding. Flood, drain, flood, drain. Reset timer to flow more as they grow.
Succes .

So there is update for you...

Plants seem to recover fast, the transplanting could not been better I think.
-Hope my Coco thinking will be better next time I will try it again.

Plants are keept around warm 25°C / at around +50% relative humidity.
-So only things that stays, are, Canna brand (now BioCanna) and plants themselfs

So the plants wear some batlle marks and scratches, mostly NK3 & NK4, but they are starting to grow as it could have been...
I am carefull and slow to them, in their new habitat and they are catching green back again, that is the most pleasurable to me now.


info: I made some software use, so the photos got more accurate color, you can compare 1st and 2nd photo and tell me If you like it more or not
(meanwhile Iam searching for some lens filter for LEDs in 95mm dia)




CBD Critical Mass is doing good, she just slightly noticed any bad conditions, but she get right taste for soil immediately.


NK1 did not take any notice on conditions either.


NK2 appears to wear some batlle scratches, but nothing serious, and recovering quite nicely


NK3 holded as long as it could, she is recovering bravely, once I saw marks of deficiences on this plant, I had to do something about it.


NK4 took worst damage from the pack, now is relaxing as do the others.

Looking good

Now I would like to give u look, underneath the leafs of each „baby“

Its a shame, that I almost drawn it in coco, so the lower leafs are looking like that, on the other hand, all plants are kept alive, and start to trive now, and its 2nd day after transplant to soil
Just a litlle more time, and I will take some clones and try to keep them somehow.


This would not need my comments if you see it in real..
So in short:
-The most bushy stucture has CBD Critical Mass with its impressive and pretty long 2dary branching
-NK2 & NK4 are 2nd in this discipline
-NK3 try to compete but got shorter 2dary branching
-yet NK1 wants to be single cola Master Kush, maybe imaging how dady Kush looked like ?

And lastly for today some special notes on each plant, with detail of the tops.

So far it is like 3plants of 4 got slight differences and one is totally different.

CBD Critical Mass produces Fresh smells, with some affie fragrances on stem rub.
Leafs are quite long, so Iam definitely awaiting some good stuff.


NK1 - also got some fresh smells, with, maybe hidden coffee under leafs, but I didnt find it yet, on stem rub, it is kind like affie in rubber??
The indica leafs (or Kushy) appearance is pleasurable.

NK2 - there are some generic Kushy smells on stem rub, if you try to smell the leafs - notting at this stage.
The leafs are narrowest of all NKs.

NK3 - this one sitnks of some sweet, skunky Kushiness, rub stem give pleasurable, sligtly acrid smell.
Leafs got nice appearance of spider


NK4 - no smell at all, nor on rub test.
I got nothing to say here, right now, so keeping eye on it - I know I can be pleasantly surprised, like when I grew Black Widow and found some tasty Indica buds..

Hello again,
I know, I know,
Iam very active here,

-but everythings has its meaning, for me atleast, cause Iam documenting for myself also, no time to write my own documentation + dosumentation here, if here it is better and with photos

To tell you, I will post one more recovery post and then I will make a litlle pause with photos. I will respond more on weekend, where I will be making clones maybe "!"

Because to this day plants got only litlle by litlle hints of water... Which on transplant is not always the best thing, but circumstances told me it is very well needed... There was a tropic thunder - rainstorm today.

I have added 2x500ml of fresh water into each pot, because after theese few days, I had already seen some spaghetti roots coming from the bottom of the pots !!
I did some foliar spray with Canna Cure just in case.

The colors are becoming vibrant, yesterday I managed to make proper white balance on camera, so here is the result... The colors now match more accurately, the plants are very vibrant + the cannacure made it really shiny, hope the leafgs will turn more dark by the time..

 

[Ptree]

Here I have some sneakpeak on crowd...
I will rethink if I can acomodate spare clones or get straight into flowering...

I let them aclimatize in rainstorm (watering as said earlier) and from then arid till this day..

Today I gave them their first full nutrients, as I see there are still some marks of defficienscies, so the water was pHed to 6,2-6,3..
But I also think they came out nicely so far...

Will see, but they are bussy bushing out to say !!

Nice smells in tent also, fresh litlle spicy smells... !

NK1 turn out to be most Indica
NK2 is wonderfull queen
NK3 has 11tips leafs
NK4 still bit of recovering in color, but from the looks, it wants more dark colors maybe
CBD CM si absolutely fantastic in structure

 

[Ptree]

.Yesterday I switched light schedule to 16/8 - slowly going for that 12/12

.Today, early morning, I made clones from lower branch of each plant.

.Later this day, I wanted to take pictures and...


Found out first signs of feminism !!!!

Those two ladies both have 11point leafs, one of them have narowest leafs and is a queen in its own, and second is my spider leafed beauty....
Ladies and gentlemen !! NK2 & NK3 showed some pistille preflowers...


As time got by....

Northerling2
-fastest to get rid off a sead shell, leafs got rounder edges
-got shortest 1st leaf set
-true leaf sets had like sawtooth edges
-at first no smells just generic kushy smells on stem rub
-had best roots at repoting
-after my fault of owerwatering & pH lockout for a while, it wear some batlle scratches but nothing serious, rejuvenated quickly
-best bushy plant between all Northerlings, long branches, still cannot compare to CBD CM which is in its own league, but...
-whole plant smells now evolved to fresh kushy ones
-leafs with 11tips in sativa shapes
-best looking plant at the end of grow period



Northerling3
-last to get rid off sead shell
-most appealing baby to me
-early smells of blossoms
-1st true leafset had 5tips (1st time I encountered that)
-after my fault of owerwatering & pH lockout for a while, it wear some batlle scratches, stunted for a while
-shorter 2ndary branching, but it worked on it by the time
-smells evolved to sweet, skunky kushiness, rub stem give pleasurable, sligtly acrid smell
-leafs with 11tips in shapes of spider
-2nd best looking plant at the end of grow period



Now if NK1 will be so kind and add its Indica feminism, that would be it... One Indy, one 50/50, one Sat at grow shapes... But its enought for my place already, will see how it ends up in short future !!!


...Stay tuned for the others

When I grew the NL5HzC x MK outside
I could not tell what to expect at all.
Only after the plants began to set flowers and make resin did I begin to see the variations in the look smell and speed of the flowers in bloom.
Let them get big since they will bloom quickly indoors.
Good luck

Yeas !!
Thank you for input, they dont seem, but are actually pretty big to my space limitations..

I wrote some differences, but on the other hand, those are just slight differences.. They overall look the same..

 

[Ptree]

After those few days of bloom, we have yet another girl..
I will confirm tomorow... What a lucky day for me

As time got by....

Northerling4
-started with longest set of leafes
-was shortest for a long while in grow, the leafs got strawberry leafs visuals somehow
-got darkest green color thru the grow
-took worst damage on overwatering & pH lockout
-2nd best place in bushing out, same as NK2
-no smells in grow

I will just say, that all girls are looking like copy of each other in some disciplines.
They love bio nutes so far

-pictures and overallization in next few days.

Sneak peak at preflower plants
Details for each plants on weekend

There is bit overcrowd, NK1 testosteroned indica plant looking like male to me, but cannot confirm yet..
If he is, he will be separated to clear some room and will be used of course.
