FKAFL

Whats the strain?

FKAFL- that stands for formerly known as French Laundry LOL it was originally just French Laundry but a cease and desist order made Maven genetics the creator of the strain change it to FKAFL 🤣🤣🤷🤷

It's parent strains- mother was -the soap father was - LA Rouge

Haha sounds 🔥

Right! I think I'm gonna go get another on Tuesday since they give a free clone with purchase of a oz

Bro where you at? I might have to slide thru if its free lol

I'm in phoenix

Damn across state lines lol

Oz is 76 otd for top tier or 62 for mid tier which is still pretty decent and you save like 15 bucks or so

Yeah good ol AZ.. wya? The deal is cool tho you can choose indica or sativa

Im in Cali born and raised ☀️🌴🌴🌴

Ahh never been was supposed to go to San Diego with my daughter for her 18th bday and my 39th since our birthdays are like 3 hrs apart she's the 20th I'm the 21st of June but she said she would rather hang with her friend here so I'ma stay home and get baked haha

Thats. Hella cool yall share a birthday that close! If you're ever close to the capital, come have a smoke with me 🤣

Definitely would be down for that sometime.. this is what cannabis community is all about strangers coming together with mutual respect and interest in this plant which essentially made the concept of being up for a smoke sesh like that is possible! Same goes for you if you find yourself in the 602 hmu we can burn a blunt or two

Its all love growmie 🤙🏿🤟🏿 and hell yeah bro if I ever make a trip out there I got you

Interesting name. I worked for 23 years in the culinary industry before retiring and One of my earliest influences was a chef by the name, Thomas Keller. His restaurant was called. "The French Laundry".

Yeah they had to abbreviate it from french laundry to FkaFL because of a conflict of interest resulting in a cease and desist order maybe it was that restaurant that is why. I have the run down that ai found for me about it online it has a good lineage and funny back story so I am intrigued and definitely excited to see what harvest brings in a few months, I've never grown in soil before but it came in soil so I think I'll just keep her there instead of midway into veg transplanting into coco and perlite

That's awesome. I actually just changed to coco from living soil. I'm on my 6th coco run I believe and I love how it either is, or it isn't. If you know what's going in and what coming out, you can handle most anything... Most anything. I've been considering synganics lately. I just wish I had the time and space to do what I really want. Weird thing about the naming conflict. I haven't thought about that part of my life in ateat 5 years.

Right right coco is the shit if you have the time to pay attention to just your ec and runoff and can read the plant in its most basic asks before it hits issue point than coco is by far the most forgiving medium imo I think you only have more control when you run rodwc but that is less forgiving than coco everytime

So you have experience with rdwc then? I was going to throw together a DWC system and found out I could just buy a basic kit for cheaper than buying it all and building it. So I bought one, but that's as far as I've gotten. I have parted it out to use in my auto fertigation system that is just a hydro farm autopilot and a 400gph pump some tubing etc. I know for a fact I won't be able to keep the reservoir temp below 70° consistently and like you said. Changes or problems can occur swiftly. You get hours in coco I've noticed. A mistake can go really bad in 12 hours if you let it. I imagine in dwc and rdwc it's quicker. Also I don't have the need to grow massive amounts of bud. These days my hyper focus is on quality. Living soil is a nice easy way to grow if you aren't too concerned with chasing every little issue. Changes take a while and it's a challenge to be able to spot a problem early enough so top dressing even makes a difference. You have to wait for the herd to process it. Ferments are good. Drenches are faster. But then you're tiptoing into the realm of synganics. And it takes a shitload of space to make sure you have enough in your soil to carry you. When it's right it truly is "just add water" . All that damn soil though. You just have to reuse it. It's the only thing that makes sense if you are an avid soil grower. I used to mix coco into the final mix. About 30% coco perlite 70/30 added to the pro-mix and then I'd make the soil concentrated so I could have more in less space. Cut that about 1:3 living soil to the inert coco and pro-mix. You want to keep living soil wetter. Not soaked. Man there is an absolute art to watering soil. It'll drive you crazy till you get it down. It's all about the dryback. The coco let's it stay almost perfect and you just use grow bags on a bottom wicking feeding/watering system. Jesusr I'm rambling. Hey good luck with your grow and I'll be watching!

No I have not ever run a rdwc set up I have read up on them pretty extensively tho so I have a understanding of how they work and such. I was wanting to do dwc as well but man coco just was so easy for me to learn and dial in everything within a short timeframe only think I need to get better with I know is really hurting my final final is when to ramp up PK for bulking phase of flower I can grow some 🔥 that's tried and true but the swell in bulking seems to evade me every time so far they may bulk some but never truly get swollen up like I see ofbers buds doing and it could be strain related but they are kinda airy too except the white rhino from last grow it was dense and tight calyxes but even they were only 1-1.6g buds and not a ton of them

Are you referring to the droop in the morning and right before lights off?

It happens yes at lights on which in itself wouldn't worry me just about 4hrs before lights off the drop not completely limp but enough it cin concerned me today since after I fed yesterday they didn't droop that evening but did it again today at 5pm and lights off ain't till 1030pm so it seems too early for it to be end of day relaxing. Could be wrong tho first time in soil and first with clone so I feel like it's my first time all over again haha but she's eating vigorously I fed at a EC of 1.3 it was .6 for my runoff that's a big drop so next feeding in a few days is gonna be heavier that these two feedings were I'll do .75 tsp grow .5 tsp micro and .75tsp bloom which is .25tsp more for each nutrient added, unsure when to use camg as I know it's not as necessary every feeding with soil compared to coco where it's needed every time almost (some say every time period) I want to push her to her limits but I know you don't come out the gate full blast with any early veg plant. But I am definitely going to push for a higher EC and feed schedule slight increases thru mid flower then taper off thru ripening and into harvest finishing with a 24hr flush just to appease that need to flush that's engrained in us from day one I know most sat 2 weeks I challenge that in saying bud doesn't store salts and nutrients like leafs and roots so it's not needed that intensely I've tested this theory in a 2 week flush for one plant and 24hr for a second with every other aspect of the grow from seed the same besides that one difference in flush length and I can say I liked it better 24hr flush and I feel I degraded potency and flavonoids and terpenes in the 2 week flush high just wasn't as fulfilling or heavy and flavor was definitely less pronounced in the 2 week flush as well.
