Serious Seeds White Russian Grow Show!

Dont know the only time i heard of them is when I researched white russian. So i guess recently was a few years ago LOL

I don't think they've been around for a while, but most if not all of their strains are available through current breeders.

With fem seed's, you need the room to maitain mom's. I know I'm not alone on never having enough room.


If you germ 5-6 seed's, odd's are you'll get atleast 1 of each sex. Make seed's. If something should happen re: clone's/mom; you then have seed's(if you do it correctly)to fall back on.


I never germ all the seed's(from an order), incase something happen's first run. I still have a few seed's from from every order I've placed.


RE: Serious Seeds. I've only ever ordered Chronic, but was/am more than satisfied; enough so that I'll probably be ordering AK47 soon.

 

worried now lol


hi MK


just wondering the mylar you got is it anit-D? and do you got to use it on the ground for the anti-d to work. i got my room covered in it but not the floor, is this a problem or cud i be detected?


cheers

 

El Campesino used to go on about the Apollo 11.


There have to be cut's out there right?


Oh well, we can dream.

And his apollo 11 looked great too! I'm sure it's got to be floating around somewhere. I bet useless would know if it's still in good circulation.


As for the why feminized seeds are garbage. A lot of the people selling them are using shotty techniques to produce them instead of using the better methods(STS, GA, or CS) which leads to hermaphroditic plants. Like GHS and many other companies that use BS extended flowering times or light leaks to get some plants to throw nanners than using those hermie plants to make feminized seeds. Not too many good breeders out there that are making fems.


Plus serious seeds doesn't make fems. And if you are going for white russian or AK-47 thats the place to get the best, and only place to get the original.

 

Heres a cool review I found of White Russian, no pic updates nothing much to show just veggin' so far there seems to be two phenos one stretchy and one bushy and alternated nodes at 3-4 weeks while the stretchy ones are still parallel.

White Russian - Perfect Genetics for the Real cannasseur

White Russian

​

Amongst the white strains, White Russian is one of the oldest and most sophisticated. We are talking here about a serious, professional piece of breeding work, not one of those varieties hastily cobbled together from inferior genetics and labeled white for commercial reasons by some amateurs. No, it's about the real mighty White Russian, coming straight from one of Holland's breeding halls of fame: Serious Seeds. Simon, the breeder, has done a fantastic job with White Russian, making it a popular figurehead of his seed bank right from the beginning. What a shooting start: White Russian took part in the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1996 for the first time, and it won both the overall Cannabis Cup and the Bio Cup for the coffee shop De Dampkring at first go! In the following year, White Russian scored second place in the Hydro Cup, once again entered by De Dampkring. This company, known as one of the best quality coffee shops in Amsterdam, contributed a lot to White Russian's success story by selling it over years to thousands of tourists from all over the world.


Let us take a closer look at its genetics. White Russian is a stable mostly Indica cross of Serious Seed's AK-47 and the famous White Widow. These two giants of cannabis breeding history were merged into a new mega species that produces very consistent plants of medium height and dense, heavily resinous flower tops with very few leaves. White Russian is one of the strongest varieties available: For an independent seed comparison in the 90's, 150 different strains were grown in a greenhouse. With 22% THC, White Russian turned out to be the most potent plant in this test cultivation. One could argue now, okay, White Russian is award decorated and everything, but that's almost a decade ago, what about its actual capacity nowadays? A legitimate question, one that I decided to give an answer to. An up-to-date White Russian cultivation test should reveal its present quality as a seed strain.

White Russian

​

An experienced grower called Cloudz conducted this project, using eight original White Russian seeds. All of them germinated very well and were grown at first under a MaxGrow (Germany) energy-saving lamp with 115 watts and full spectrum, what resulted in very compact growth with lush green leafs. Cloudz used six-litre pots with soil mixture. 2.5 weeks after germination, the plants were moved to the actual grow room, where they received 600 watts of light from a high pressure sodium lamp, at a daily light cycle of 18 hours. What struck the eye from the beginning on was the remarkable uniformity of the plants. They actually looked like clones; there were almost no differences in height, width, colour and leaf structure. About four weeks after germination, Cloudz induced flowering by shortening the light cycle to 12 hours. Four plants turned out to be female, the male ones were discarded. During flowering, two types of bud formation were revealed by the plants: Both were very dense and resinous (though not as resin-crusted as White Widow), having quite few leaves. But the first type grew a little bit higher and had colas that were more long-drawn, while the colas of the shorter second type were more roundish. The single yield of the four plants, however, did not differ very much, with the best plants of each type yielding almost exactly the same. They all looked awesome at the end of flowering, loaded with thick beautiful buds all over the plants, from the very bottom to the tip. These tight flower clusters felt rock hard and promised a most rewarding harvest. The only thing that didn't go according to plan was the fact that all of the four plants exceeded the expected flowering time of 56-63 days by five days, finally reaching maturity after 68 days, when 70-80% of the stigmas had withered and turned orange. Well, these additional five days of waiting did not really hurt, considering the superb cannasseur quality of the buds and the extra grams of weight that were produced in the last five days. The harvest amount ranged from 40 to 51 grams, quite sensational for a variety that was grown from seed, cultivated in soil and left in the vegetative state for a standard period of time. Apart from that, the flowers effused an extraordinary strong honey aroma that had adopted an also fruity scent after the drying process. Already in the vegetative state, the plants are developing a strong smell, so take good care about proper air control.


Cloudz was all on edge when it finally came to smoking the White Russian buds. And wow... the effect was even better than he had expected, heavily potent, hard-knocking and stony, but also somewhat cerebral at the same time. One or two bong hits, and he was done for a while. The high would last for hours, often causing fits of laughter. Cloudz estimated the THC content at not less than 20%, clearly noticing the extraordinary strength of White Russian, and I agreed with him. The aroma of the smoke was very fine, too, offering a smooth, full-bodied sweet taste. The grower was overwhelmed by the overall quality of his four White Russian ladies, never before he had experienced quality homogeneity on such a high level, fantastic in both appearance and potency. No doubt, White Russian today still has its firm place among the world's best cannabis strains.

W.Russian genetics are:


(Colombian X Mexican X Thai X Afghani) x (Brazilian X South Indian)


That's 37.5% indica and 62.5% sativa. Am I miscalculating?

 

I guess ill just have to find out the hard way by smoking all of it. Doesn't matter what its called or where its from as long as it gets ya high and gets your fingers sticky.

 

Well the initial cross, but you have to keep in mind that they have been stabilizing for a more specific phenotype and that would be the indica leaning varieties. So by bottlenecking the genetics they have taken a mostly sativa cross and made it mostly indica.


Oh and MK, the room looks really nice!!! I'll be watching this one for sure.

 

Just like Serious did with AK-47 it first won an award as a sativa and was reworked into an indica winning them the indica cup. They only have 5 strains that are always being worked on. They could throw out 500 differents names and what not, but when you have what you honestly believe and have been told is the best why fuck around?

 

Week 4 update


Ok folks so heres where their at. Had a pH problem for awhile (broke my reader and ran out of pH drops at the same time. So theres a potash deficiency and maybe an Iron deficiencly. 2 weeks is a long time to go without a pH reading. Just went off old notes to try to get it close but that didnt work out the best. This is my first time using an Ebb n Gro and the first time growing the white russian. But now I have 2 digi pH readers and a fresh bottle of pH drops to keep me straight for the time being

 

Tuning in!


:new_popcornsmiley: :XXcomputer:

 

I'm still watching that is a sweet set up no shit-Bud

 

Its 55 gallon rez. Yeah by the time I finally checked my pH it was 4.3..... Bad ju ju

 

excellent setup and killer strain selection! good luck man - looking forward to the show!
