[420autoflower]

ILGM OG Kush Auto grow journal

10 OG Kush (hermies)
3 gallon plastic grow bags
Recycled coco amended with Down to Earth 4-8-4
24x48x72” generic grow tent
185 cfm vivosun exhaust fan
Vivosun 14” carbon filter
2 small turbo fans circulating air
3 100 watt Maxisun lights
Fed with GH Nova, GH Calmag and GH Rapid Start (only during vegetative stage)
Down to Earth 4-8-4 used during flowering
Water with recharge twice a week

7 days old. Fed with 350 ppm

13 days old. Fed with 500 ppm

15 days old. Fed with 650 ppm

17 days old. Started training the plants.

Day 22

Day 27. Doing a lot of tucking and plucking

Day 29. Pulling handfuls of leaves twice a day

32 days old and seeing pistils. Top dressed with the Down to Earth 4-8-4 and cut all synthetic nutes. Started to heavily defoliate the top cola sites (pruning for high yield)

Day 35. Defoliated top sites again

duly noted man, and sucky to hear,... unfortunately not the first time I've seen shit like this from ILGM,... Growers choice too, both are notorious for spanking stuff out half baked, poorly tested and full if shit pheno's.... Budget stuff is no bargain IMO, not with the bad gamble they can be sometimes!

Look into the smaller breeder co's, some right here! Some of the smaller banks also carry good one's at a fair price for fine quality genetics...
Have a look at Green Grass seeds too, owned by our gal Rebel here! She has several great little co's on board...

Thanks Waira!
Good to know.
I actually planted the OG Kush Hermie seeds on purpose. I let a few of the OG Kush plants in one of my previous grows mature a little longer than they were suppose to, and one of them must of shot out a few nanners. Thought I would pop a few and see what they would do.

Day 41
Canopy is filling in.
Still defoliating everyday but they’re ready for the first leaf stripping soon.

After

No signs of male flowers yet

Day 44
The canopy is getting very dense, so it’s time for their first schwazzing session. I’ll be back in a bit with a update.

Ah, got it! ..... I like this test a lot mate, just to see what happenes and how strongly that intersexing tendency is.... various forms of stress can do it, cultivar behavior(how prone they are to this), etc. etc.,...
Did the previous plants have something stress them? You're going to have quite the task scoping out all those bushy plants for stray balls!
Get us details about your T's, RH%, light sched' please as such details are always relevant

Have you checked your lights when they off i had 12 diodes on my mars hydro blink while they were off herming whole room

There were a few late flowering plants in the last OG Kush crop which I let fully mature before I cut everything down. I’m pretty sure a couple of the earlier flowering plants matured too long and must have grown a few nanners. I only ended up with a handful of seeds out of 2 pound grow, so it makes me think that it was letting some of the plants grow to long.
I cut all synthetic nutes close to 2 weeks ago and now they are only running on the Down to Earth
4-8-4 dry amendments. I like staying ahead of the feedings to avoid any deficiencies so I will top dress 2 tablespoons per gallon of the 4-8-4 in a few days, then again in 2 weeks, which will be the last feeding. Watering with R/O water at around 6.3, and giving them recharge twice a week.
Let’s see what stripping 90% of leaves off does to them. Lol!

Ah! I should have confirmed sooner, which type of intersexing they showed... full on male flowers at stem nodes is one thing, but late nanners (often not fully formed male flowers) is another... That late late showing is not so uncommon at all, Mother Nature's last ditch effort to get knocked up!
... seen some other weird mixed gonads on certain lines, full male flower clusters jutting out of otherwise normal looking bud...
A cat I know elsewhere sex reversed a male with STS, that was a trip ...

So, late nanners being the case before, I'd wager these will all be clean barring the same very late ripening... Another thing, the pollen from nanners can often be weak in viability, might explain why you didn't end up with a jar-full of them...
