Kraken #1 Flower Day 33

So Kraken #1 is starting to recover from the water def it went through early in flowering. Smells are starting to come out now and they are wonderful! I can detect undertones of Jet Fuel but the smell is just starting.

I can tell this girl has major potential. Already started vegging out the next batch of clones of both my girls. You can tell there is a major difference heathwise between the #1 and the #3. I'll be running the next batch of these girls together so I can make a fair assessment of which pheno(s) I'll keep. But I got to say i'm very excited.

Frost level is starting to ramp up and this is definitely a party girl for sure! lol

Going to run another 5 seeds once I get my testing area setup. Great job Alien! Even with my attempts at killing these girls and putting them through some seriously inadequate environments these girls have fought their entire lives to grow and have surpassed all of my expectations.

Nice update.. They look super happy even in the hot room.. My tent gets juss as hot with no issues.. Some strains r juss super strong & don't mind..

Thanks Goo, it's almost like a stress test going through my flower rooms lol. Guess if they can survive my environments then they are really Strong Plants! lol The biggest difference has been the chiller. Having steady water temps has really allowed them to focus on being healthy and growing.

babies are boomin bro. they are looking much happier compared to the last update. keep it up brother .

Yo BigCheese, thanks bro. I am so happy i'm finally able to have healthy plants at this stage of flower. I can't wait to have a fully dialed in run from clone to veg to early flower to end of flower to perfect cure!

Yeah, they're definitely responding nicely to your adjustments! Appreciate the update. Another amazing aerial shot.

Dirk/// your Kraken remind me of my Seven Ghosts. Each of the 3 plants look entirely different from one another and they all want something differnent. i have a plant like your #1, smaller, thinner leaves, claws up easy and leaves tend to droop. Other 2 in same dirt, being feed same thing, but look healthier. Also I see you have the odd leave twist on the #2 and #3, I have the same issue, not tripping on it but the similarities are cool, i guess it's the tahoe alien side of things coming out.
you will soon be "releasing" the kraken...
keep it green bro..
peace mogrow

New Veg Room - 10' x 10' Room

This room still needs to get plumbing, electrical finished, a couple wall fans, add the chiller and an exhaust fan but it is progressing nicely. So nice to be able to have so much room to just walk around and tend each plant. Such good energy from this room.

I also started my new dedicated area for germination. Got a 4 bulb 2' T5 just for them. Can definitely germ 8 beans now properly and maybe even 12. Everything is starting to come together.

Kraken #3




I'm really proud of this girl. She has somehow flourished in my 85-89F room. We got some heat this last week or so and this room has the worst environment. However good news is that I'm ordering my new 30K mini split tomorrow. Should have that installed within next 2 weeks and operational.

So my new Veg room keeps getting dialed in.


new 1/4 hp chiller installed and operational. Also Installed the Carbon Filter and Exhaust as well. Still need the RH/Temp Controller and Light Controller.



new germination station finished with new 4 bulb T5. Now I have plenty of room to just let the seedlings grow. No more worrying about plant heights. Got to say it's a great feeling to see your op really getting dialed in. Still waiting on the 30K mini split but should have it soon.

I have a great fungal dominate AACT mix i do every week for the girls. Add to both the reservoir and foliar. Been slacking this last week due to the construction i've been under.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys and girls. Been very busy with the new room build and upgrading the op. Got the 30k mini split coming this Friday and being installed Saturday! Been working on this mini split for over 6 months now lol.

So the Kraken have definitely been feeling the heat. Room has been getting up to 84F before i start shutting off lights. Hopefully after this weekend I won't have any more temp issues. Had to upgrade all the pumps on the chillers as well as the flow distance was just too long for my old pumps.

Kraken # 3 Flower Day 25



Went and transferred these girls to the main flower room on Saturday. now they will get 2000w instead of the 1200w. Did an initial trim and these girls are eating lots right now.

Kraken #1 Flower Day 51





So Kraken #1 has felt the full force of my Op Upgrade. Already have one of her clones vegging. She absolutely smells fantastic and will be a good tease for the upcoming Dank!
