My Kona Gold Preservation Run

[grayoldnproud]

Thanks brother. Yeah they came a long way..

Got a ways to go too but if all goes well, barring an overabundance of males, you are going to have Gold in them hands.

The konas are looking good today! Also the kona gold seeds are germinating!

Hey Corey.....I see you have nothing under your pots....I use these self watering saucers. If you notice the cotton strings....they serve to return any water runoff. It helps from having a mess at the bottom of the tent.

Thanks brother! Yeah I need to get some of those. I see they are from Walmart. That's great I'll definitely check them out!

I added a couple more kona gold seedlings. So we now have 11 kona golds. 5 kona 1s and 6 kona 2s. I'm giving them about a quart and a half of water every other day...

The more the merrier...

They are doing there thing again. Theres a little purple on the stems. I think that might be normal. If anything I'll give them a strong compost tea.

We're moving along.

Considering the goal here is not smokable flower, but seeds, I say flip! You’ll still end up with a zillion seeds.

Thanks guys. Yeah we're so close to flip... once the plants are the same size of the pots they are in then it's definitely on..

That's a solid plan. You gonna harvest some pollen too?

Yes sir. Pollen and maybe some cuts..

 

[corey827]

They survived there first night of 12/12. I think they need a 12/12 light cycle..

Stupid question. Are you going 12/12 (flipping) with the little ones in there too?

 

[corey827]

Yes sir. That's the plan. I know they won't get very big just as long as they make enough seeds for another run..

 

[grayoldnproud]

That’s kind of ballsey and I don’t think my nuts have that much weight. IOW I couldn’t do that. The bigger five I get, the smaller four hmmm

 

[Vick_Vinegar]

Looking good mate.

From what I've seen over a good few years running 12/12 from flip, plants still need to hit certain biomarkers for maturity before they will flower anyways. I will get flower around 5 weeks in regardless of whether I've flipped at week four or ran 12/12 from seed with most strains.

I'll stagger a few plants here and there, the mature ones will get flipped at week 4 and take a week or two to show and the week old plants in the same tent will end up taking a good four weeks to show and just end up a few weeks behind rather then immediately flower.

From experience, flipping anywhere from 0-4 weeks will roughly end up producing the same sized plants as they'll usually take a good 4 weeks to hit biological maturity anyways.

Neato thread. I just planted 1986 Kona Gold.
