Love the smell of this strain. Extreme chem and petrol with tennis balls, just like the breeder described. Produces a really heavy stone that is great for night time relaxation or sleep aid.

GHE works just fine. After two grows, I'm looking at running the next cycle with a different nutrient line, using my experience with GHE as a baseline for comparison. Really easy to use, online feeding charts are very useful with some common sense in applying it to your growing cycle.

I am a little disappointed with yield on this grow. I am sure the yield has more to do with me than the genetics. I decided to flip to flower earlier than I wanted for Alphakronik because a second strain in the tent was going to become overgrown, and that definitely impacted my final yield. Additionally, the rockwool starting substrate may be a problem going forward. Rockwool stays too wet, and the bottom of my main stalks showed some rot in the early stages of vegetation. This problem widened the development gap and must be solved. Neoprene collars? Peat plugs? Looking into it for the next grow. I dried for 8 days and trimmed then went directly into jars for curing with Boveda 62 packs. My buds were just a tiny bit over-dried, sitting at 58% RH in the jars without Boveda. I'll have to get a weight on it in the upcoming days, trying to keep it in the 62% RH environment as much as possible. Intense gas and chem, tennis balls, and some of that acrid garlic the breeder described on their website. I really like Alphakronik Genetics and the team over there has been great to do business with. I'll be running another line of their genetics in my upcoming grow, but trying to figure out which one is going to be so hard! I just picked up seven strains from them during their 420 sale, and I will have to decide in the next day what to pop! 5/2/2020 - I decided. Next grow will be Maturin (Alien Rock Candy (Kind Love cut) x Alphakronik) by Alphakronik Genetics. I've been on a dark kick lately, so the Maturin turtle from Stephen King's Dark Tower saga appealed to me (as well as dense buds of ARC and the coffee undertones in the description for this strain, love me some coffee cannabis). In this next grow, I will focus on getting chunky buds, starting off with a mainline structure and marrying that to a double layer of trellis for training and support with a more open structure for air/light penetration and longer, bulkier colas. I plan to run 4 clones in sites [1,3,4,6] because sites [2,5] routinely get crowded out. For now though, I've built a soil with Miracle Grow Organics, perlite, vermiculite, and peat. I know Miracle Grow is trash, I only need to veg these mothers for a short while and I'm not concerned with the quality of the soil for flower. It was easy to get and will be fine for my purpose. I will admit though. I have seen some beautiful indoor beds inside tents and I am being tempted by these soil setups. Maybe in the next place I live I can have another tent for soil grows. Still not sure if this hobby is going to make me broke or make me financially stable, haha. Check back for more pics and updates.

@ThatsMyPurse yes I find it works a lot quicker if you provide the optimum temp and humidity so I use a heat mat with a heat controller set at 23c inside a germination/humidity box with clear plastic lid and then I reguarly mist the inside with water from a spray bottle .

How to maximize terpene production? I'm growing a strain that is supposed to be super stinky, and I so desperately want to get the full potential from this Chemdog cross. What does the plant need for producing terpenes and thiols? (My setup requires fully dissolved nutrients.)

-You can use additives like molasses and many others. -You can play with the spectrum as they are spectrums that helps to have better veg and others to have better flo -You can apply a dark period at the end of flowering. -You try to reach the best values possible for your environment parameter. -You need to have a stable genetic because cross can lean on the mother side or on the father side so if one smell good and the other not then you'll have to make a selection. -You need to know when to harvest ( my cheese was at a perfect terpenes level when the trichomes were cloudy but an average smell when harvested with amber trichomes) , the harvest widow is important.

Started cutting today. Hung 1 plant in big chunks, left lower buds on. Should I dry everything together? -or- Should I trim lower buds and make bubble ASAP?

Those buds look amazing! Great grow :) I usually take my trim and freeze it fresh. When I'm ready to make hash, having the material already frozen will help the trichomes fall off. Perhaps freeze the trim from the first batch and join it with the second when it's ready?

Clones like it warm and very humid.. i cut the long leaves, so its easier for them to concentrate in the Roots. Give your Girls a tansparent dome ( half of a Plasticbottle) and put them on a warm place with light
ThatsMyPurse
ThatsMyPurse
@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for the information. I've pulled them from the system back into a cloning tray and added a little heating pad under the tray. It's definitely high humidity in there, flooded some of the grooves in the tray to make sure of that. Going to wait until I see roots before moving them this time-- if they make it, but I've seen clones take longer to root. Thank you again, love this community!

Looking good! Is your carbon filter ventless?? I need to get one setup

@ThatsMyPurse, we’ve been growing in it all winter lol! But we currently have 5 in full bloom and the rest are young ! We got a perfect rotation to keep it full between all stages of life! But the smell is starting to take over lol that’s why I’m interested in getting a filter system! But I’m gonna check into it and probably just do something like you said just hole cut what size I need in the door and just vent it out into the bigger room to keep the smell down thanks! 🙏
ThatsMyPurse
ThatsMyPurse
@MiPotFarm, Ah, not sure if you are planning on doing your complete grow in the closet, but you won't have much need for a filter during Vegetation. I grow out my mothers for cloning in my closet and just leave the door cracked with a fan running. If you need to drill/cut a hole, doors can be pretty cheap. There's always Home Depot & Lowe's, but you could also check for a larger resale shop. One resale shop in my area has TONS of doors for super cheap. Just a suggestion

@ThatsMyPurse, yea I guess I should of been more descriptive! I was wondering if it was running out to fresh air to vent like through the wall or if you were just venting it out of the grow room into another? I ask because I’m putting one in my closet grow I’m using but I don’t want to vent it to the outside through my wall because I’m adding a grow room in my garage to be more permanent and don’t want to be putting holes in my house lol! So you said your venting yours into a bigger area I think you still did answer my question! Thanks

@ThatsMyPurse, Hi I pretty much poured out all the fertilizer :-) in the end he became Canna. every now and then I grow with a different fertilizer but rarely. at canna, the values ​​remain very stable, especially in aerophonic :-)

@Wachsemilian, I got too eager and set myself back. D'oh! Pulled the clones from their little chamber too early and now it's been two weeks. I put them back in the lidded flat for high humidity two days ago. They are just starting to get rooted... or at least they are still alive. Not sure if they'll take. Input would be appreciated from a pro!?

where can i find the sprayer heads and the drainage pump?
joeymack

@ThatsMyPurse, thank you appreciate the help, i have the same pump as well but i wasnt really happy with the droplet size(the same sprayers you started with) so im looking for better sprayers! thank you again i really appreciate the help.
ThatsMyPurse
ThatsMyPurse
@joeymack, I ordered everything for the aeroponics project on amazon; the lights were ordered on alibaba. All research for the main pump points to the Aquatech 8800-- it is used for pressurized R/O water systems and NSF rated. The pumps I'm using for draining the bins are some inexpensive 9V arduino pumps I found on amazon. The nozzles are poultry misters, but they were hard to find inexpensive fittings that contained no brass. If you aren't as obsessive about droplet size, the barbed style ones from Mist King are more convenient to work with -- just jam them into the end of your compatible tubing. Good luck, have fun, be safe! (Maybe the other way around)
