CKS Black Indica

Garcia —

Garcia I’m using GH trio + cal mag. I moved it to a little bigger pot. I have another plant in the tent, so I’m just seeing how this turns out. So far so good. The only issue I have and I think it’s the coir. The base of the stock gets loose when it dries, and the plant tips over. It only ever happens in coir to me.

Garcia I think the roots are well established now, and she is starting to fill out. I tie down the top of the plant, and remove any shoots and leaves that seem to not get as much light. I believe I only removed 2 shoots from the bottom side, and 2 fan leaves. By the looks of it, it could use some more trimming. Tucking isn’t working all that well. I don’t have much control over temp and humidity. But I’m happy with how it’s progressing.

Garcia She is short, stocky and thick with vegetation. It’s starting to have nice smell to it.

Garcia This girl is bushy. I’m not seeing a lot of stretching, but lots of shoots. I tied down the longest branches, and I definitely need to do some trimming as I’m concerned of buds over crowding when I put it into flower.

Garcia I just switched to 12/12 today. I’m interested to see how she progresses into flower. Tying down branches and trimming have exposed a lot of potential bud sites. She has been very easy on everything. Hasn’t been touchy in any sense.

Garcia She is starting to stretch and get bushy. No nutrient issues or PH. I’ve been feeding 2x, then flush. The PH I’ve been keeping between 5.5-6.5. So far it’s been pretty fool proof. I’m having trouble keeping humidity below 50%, so I might need a dehumidifier soon.

Garcia I had to do some major pruning. It was so bushy, branches where twisted together. I had to remove many leaves. The understory was not getting any light. From I see there is going to be plenty of decent kolas. I have been feeding a bit to heavy. A few tips are burnt, but not bad. Flushed and fed less. She rebounded right back no problem.

Garcia A let off the nitrogen a little too soon. I thought it was budding faster then anticipated. So she is a bit pale, but again is rebounding nicely. Nice smell, and good looking buds this far.

Garcia Lots of red pistils already. I see no bananas so hopefully she isn’t seeded. Smells great, looks great. By just glancing I would think the thc levels are higher then advertised. The next couple weeks will tell.

Garcia Nice sturdy branches. I’m going to feed her a couple more times and then start flushing. I like the smell, and the buds feel nice and tight. It’s starting to use nutrients from the fan leaves. Almost there.

Garcia I’m starting to flush. She is ready to be taken down. There are white hairs popping up, but it got pretty hot in there. She smells good, and looks decent to me.

Garcia The plant was 80%+ red hairs. The tric’s where mostly cloudy, with a few clear and nothing really looked amber yet. I wanted to let it go a few more days but the leaves where rapidly turning yellow and it was ready enough for me. This is under the 8 weeks flowering. I had 1 more that flowered a little over 6weeks and turned out great. Overall I like this strain for ease of growing, smell, and quick flowering. She is hanging, and I will get back with a vape report. And weight.
