REEFERMAN: I figured out that OG kush and sour D were related it is obvious now what is really interesting is we have a cutting that has been in the local biker community here since 1992 that is very very close to Oger’s kush, could it be the Chem Dog ? here it is called king or kings cross there are two pheno’s the Green and the Pink (hairs only) it was given to me with a group of 3 hash plants when I grew it out I named it the pink kush but later figured out it was a different pheno of the King Origional gangsters is a ironical name considering the old boys the clones were gifted to me from they can be protective of the cutting, we see very little of it on our local market here becouse it gets bought up by the guys who gave me the clones and I hear it all goes to LA but that could be BS but even in a bad market the Strain is the most lucrative on a commercial basis “the chem dog thing is very interesting thanks for sharing that RM”
I’ve always used the ‘lift’ method to judge watering when they get into the larger pots but I knew I was basically guessing with the little ones.
So, something new I’m doing this time is actually weighing the pots as I water.
I should have gone ‘full geek’ and recorded the data because the progression has been interesting.
Initially they were taking up about 10ml/day. That has progressed to 25~40ml as the leaf area has expanded. RH has been running 40~50%.
I have to give Black Swallow Soils credit, the plants are doing well… and not one fungus gnat!!
i do the lift method and tell myself that im cultivating my sixth sense for understanding when the plants need to be watered. in reality im too lazy to break out the scale.
This has got me thinking about those strain gauge bathroom scales.
That might be the way to go for larger pots.
At least as a cross check to see how accurate my lift method is
I’m surprised how much I’m liking this process & the plants are happy. I’m always ‘trying something different to see what happens’.
I tend to channel my inner nerd when I’m playing with new gear like lights and fans, there’s always something interesting around the corner…
Yup, it has removed all guesswork, which really works well for my process-oriented brain! It’s kind of funny to do organic growing, but watering by scale lol. Right now I use a food scale that works for up to 3 gallon fabric pots. I need something that can handle more than 10lbs for 5gal and up though. Thinking of getting this kitchen scale soon for that: Amazon.com
That’s one variable I haven’t taken into much consideration ha. I tend to just find the number where it’s dry and then add a lb of water (for 3gals). In my set up 2-3 days without water will get a good dry weight. For seedlings I don’t think the weight of the plant is significant enough to affect the weights.
That’s what I did, weighed a solo cup filled with slightly damp soil, 155(ish) grams.
Initially, I was topping up to 175g but as their transpiration increased I added more water per day to keep them from dropping too low.
Working so far…
It’s interesting how similar the plants are leaf structures are virtually identical.
I think @GoodGear is right, these are basically an IBL.
The only one looking a bit different is the Critical 2.0
The two shortest plants stalled for a couple days while getting established.
lol…I was wondering if I was looking at the same plant in all the pics, until I noticed the writing on the side. It’ll be interesting to see if/how the plants change when they start showing their sex.
I finding this really interesting as I haven’t worked an IBL before.
The general vigor is good and they seem happy with the new soil. I figure ‘new shoes’ maybe next week.
lol. Right now I use a food scale that works for up to 3 gallon fabric pots. I need something that can handle more than 10lbs for 5gal and up though. Thinking of getting this kitchen scale soon for that:
