NZ Landrace - Kiwi Kush aka Pacific Rose

I have been working on this strain for many years now (25+) and it is considered one the true Landrace varieties unique to New Zealand! Its ability to shed anxiety and boost a mood just by lifting the lid on its Jar is phenomenal. With cured notes of Mint, ripe berries and Rose Oil, this is a Kush terpene profile like no other. And it really packs on bright pink haired buds. I proudly introduce Kiwi Kush to the world. I own these genetics exclusively...if you would like to learn more..just reach out. I will be uploading an outdoor grow of her this year as well.I am going to be doing a seed run with her also to reverse her again and renew my seed stocks so may do a diary for that. Please enjoy following what has been my life work with this strain! Sticky Buds!

My 25 year old Landrace always bounces back so fast after training...Kiwi Kush is a difficult plant to get growing indoors as I bred it specifically for North western New Zealand volcanic clay based soils...so putting her into an indoor environment in clean rich soil can often kill her stone dead which is why this is now week six of vegetation...you must be patient with her! Im going to put her into flowering this afternoon.

Kiwi Kush, my how she flies when the mood gets her. And believe me its not easy to get her mood right indoors...I use a bare minimum of premix Fert as premixing feed like I do with my other strains would all but kill her and render her completely fruitless. I top dress when I see signs of slowing growth or yellowing leaves ..I leave her to tell me what she needs..if I dont all efforts go out the window. I hope you enjoy watching this grow. This is my one true cannabis love ...all strains pale compared to her imo...its because we have evolved together over the last 25+ years (its actually 27years at the end of this season) that I have this affinity for it. I just wish I could share the smell and taste and medicinal value via this medium..alas we are a way off being able to do that. Till then sticky buds everyone! Day 3 Flowering, She was in need of a defoliation...she is often. Looking fabulous!

As you can see she is sleepy from a tough days growing and putting up with the godforsaken cold temperatures (down to 6 Degrees Celsius at night) to say im not concerned would be foolhardy..I am very concerned..but so far im putting the droop down to hard growth today and cold nights for the last fortnight. Come on girl..hang in there. I also top dressed a very small amount of flowering nutes 5 days ago and LOOK its like she responded instantly in the last photo! Stay tuned to watch this unique strain come into her own..I hope!

Wow what a boost huh? When she is happy Kiwi Kush can really produce! Its always best not to defoliate her too early even though it may be tempting..if you do she will stunt. About three of four big shade leaves a week tops until the buds really set..then I can defoliate hard and lollipop about 30% from the bottom up. Normally I would lollipop 50/50 but Kiwi Kush produces solid buds from the bottom to the top with very little popcorn so doesn't require the hard lollipopping other strains do. Stay tuned the fun part is about to begin!

Even after regular but minimal defoliation over the last two weeks she is still drinking 2L a day every day and being dry at the end of every 24hr period. The genetics locked in this beast are phenomenal. Just go back two weeks and see what it has done...and let me say conditions have not been nominal. So with correct temperatures she can REALLY perform...this is more than enough performance for my little grow room thanks. Also she has just started to show the pink pistils Kiwi Kush is famous for. The next three weeks are going to be a blur of glistening flowering swelling out to show that Kiwi Kush is a strain that can compete with the best. Sticky buds folks!
