Zilvermist and Kaligria from All-Star Genetics

[altitudefarmer]

Well, folks, the moment that I've been anticipating for so long has arrived. I was blessed with 6 Kaligira and 4 Zilvermist beans from True Grit, and I've been dying to get these girls going since the day I read about the strains. Then to see Kushdee took 3rd at the HTCC, I figure these kids are on to something! So here goes.

100 ppm of Superthrive, AquaShield, and Great White set to a pH of 5.95. I place the beans about 2/3 buried in the plugs, and put them on a shelf where they'll maintain a temp of about 75 degrees F. Stay tuned for updates.

These popped real quick for me, don't think you should have any issues bro!!

8 for 8

Nice vigor already! 100% success on root tips. The Zilvermist showing alot more vigor than Kaligria, but I'm thrilled to already have 100%.

Zilvermist showing serious vigor. I think they're excited to be growing. The humidity in the containers was enough to have that root completely out of the plug...hysterical. I did get it placed properly, since now i have them under light with no humidity dome action...

Kaligria- not quite as randy as the ZM, but at 4 for 4 I'm happy.

 

[true grit]

Yeah stoked to see you work that Zilvermist...

 

[altitudefarmer]

I still have two Kaligria beans in my seed bank. I'm hoping I'll get a keeper out of what I already popped, and maybe I can pass on the love in a few months. Cross your fingers for girls!

update 1-30

Here's the ASG girls going under the T5s. Still 8 for 8; the Zilvermist still showing a little more vigor than the Kaligria. Very happy with the strains so far!

Kaligria

Zilvermist

They are all now potted in Happy Frog, with a touch of Great White and AquaShield (85 ppm). I have 8 little solo cups that are proud not to be sitting on top of a keg...they have a more important mission!

Looking good

My little All-Stars are establishing some excellent roots, and will need to be transplanted very soon. Probably going to hit them with a little sushi on the transplant, then a mild super soil mix for the final transplant.

The two in the middle here are Medic's Rocket Gal

Me too! They are looking great. I can't believe I typed "a mild super soil mix", LOL. I meant I'll be growing these ladies in a relatively mild organic soil mix. We'll see what they like... :)

strong little girls

They're plugging away under the t5s. Root mass is extraordinary, will be transplanting these girls in the next couple days.

Transplant complete

All 8 ASG girls are in new pots; they weren't root bound per se, but I think they're going to really take off (as if they weren't already showing crazy vigor...lol). Used the sushi technique on a couple, and the rest got a mild dose of PureBlendPro.

Here are the ASG girls, all cozy in their new diggs for the next couple weeks.
