Kama Kush CBD

Week 1 is done for this CBD variety. We didn't do much apart from water her with some endo-myco once mid-week. She seems to be coming in nicely, though!

She was transplanted into the earth outdoors at the start of week two. I think she's doing fairly well out there. Not much else to report!

This week was pretty rough for all of my gardens, indoor and outdoor. We had a heat wave in the triple digits (Fahrenheit) all week, with humidity, at times, over 90% outdoors. However, this plant seemed to not be phased by it. It grew quite a bit this week, and looks fantastic!

Week 4 is complete, and this plant is doing very well. Normally for short plants close to the grass, I get isolated cases of leaf-hopper damage, but she seems very pest resistant so far. She also took our brutal heat wave like a real champion, with green leaves and an overall uniform structure to her. We have not defoliated her or trained her at all, but I am thinking of topping her this coming week before the days get too short for her to transition.

Another week of vegetation down for Kama Kush CBD. At the beginning of the week, we topped it. I'm not sure if I missed or not to make it a FIM, as it was really windy. We'll see soon.

So, her leaves got chewed up this week. I didn't notice any pests, and it seems to be an isolated case in my garden. I think this damn groundhog that has been nibbling at one of my pumpkins may be at fault, or it's just because there are a lot of new insects out and about this time of year. In either case, I sprayed her with B.t. ssp. kurstaki, and fenced off my pumpkin plant that is next to her. I think she'll be fine. Her new tops are coming in nicely.

She's starting to bush out and grow taller. After I topped her a couple weeks ago, I have just been practicing the good old technique of LITFA. Looks like it is doing well, and I can't wait to see what it is capable of in the coming flowering weeks.

Kama Kush is bushing out a bit more, and getting eaten a bit more. She is the only plant in my garden that has the disadvantage of being next to my pumpkin patch with another ecosystem of insects from the brush, and I'm just letting her grow without any IPM treatment. My plants usually do okay with a little leaf hopper damage here and there, so I’m not worried. That bird could have crapped on the pumpkin instead of her though, but my 4-bucket post harvest wash will clean her up.

Kama Kush CBD is doing pretty well. I think we will start seeing a significant growth increase and the start of flowers within the next 3 to 4 weeks.

She's grown a little taller this week, as the days are really starting to get shorter faster now. Another couple of weeks and she should start putting out flowers.

Welcome to the start of flowering. I didn't pay atention to any of my outdoor plants this week except to take pictures on the last day. Nearly all of them are flowering now.

I normally can't smell weed that well, working around it constantly, but this plant is already beginning to stink, even by my nose. It's definitely got an afghan-like smell, perhaps a bit skunky. She's also probably my nicest looking plant, even given her small stature. I'm looking forward to this one.

This plant is doing great, and starting to stink even more like skunk.

I haven't had a chance to go outside to check on my plants in a few weeks, but after doing so this week, I had to chop them all early. They were getting some powdery mildew on lower leaves, and the rest of the leaves were depleted of color, drooping, and falling off (not senescence), telling me the soil and very little rain this year was not ideal. It's okay though. This was the last year I intended to do photoperiods outdoors. Actually, last year was, marking 20 years, but my indoor game was not down yet. So 21 years it is. I will still be doing some autoflowers outdoor next year, as they are the only ones that do good in my climate -- it gets very cold too early, and I don't have the patience to do any light deprivation techniques. Additionally, it is always close to 100% humidity in mid-late summer, which is far from ideal. I didn't take any pictures before the harvest out of disappointment, but if any of the bud turns out to be decent after drying, I'll update this harvest report. The picture below is from a few weeks ago.
