This one just happened by complete and entire accident. I in no way intended to breed these two plants together in any fashion. Sheer negligence for a few days caused myself to miss a male Quantum Kush in a tiny closet grow tent right next to a Lemon Alien girl during the first weeks of flowering. We took him out but he pollinated a few of the pistols on a Lemon Alien and I found a couple seeds. This one seed germinated perfectly so here we have this accidental strain. I'm going to grow it, regardless of its sex, to fruition and document it all here. If he's a boy I'll be hitting something with the pollen for laughs. If she's a girl I'll see what she looks like and name her I guess. She wouldn't really be 'mine' per say because I am not responsible for creating the original strains in any fashion other than purchasing the seeds and having this seed appear from an accidental pollination but I'll be taking a cut of her if she's a girl and making a mom out of her since 'why not'.
She's in a 36 inch by 20 inch mylar tent with a ventilation system that is not yet operational so expect more 'fuller' pictures in the days to come. The soil is Ocean forest so the plant won't be given any nutrients till I transplant it into a larger pot in about a week or so.
The roots on this sucker are beginning to show through the side of the cup. Once I see a few wraps of the main root structure around the bottom of the cup I will transplant this bad boy/girl into a larger cup to veg before my final transplant for it. No need for nutrients yet but I will most likely begin a very light nutrient regiment after I get the plant transplanted so I don't stress this bugger out. Looking very robust start to the second week for this creation. Lets see where the week takes us.
Well folks, it's the start of week three for this awesome breed of mine. The plant is still in it's infancy but it's root structure has grown so much that I have transplanted the plant into a super gulp 7/11 cup. This transplant should hold the plant over until week 5 when the plant will be transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket for it's final weeks of vegetation so it can be tied down and trained till it's flowering time. (praying it's a girl the whole time) Nutrient mixture for this week is super low as to not stress or burn the plant. PH of the nutrient water is balanced down to 6.0 keeping the whole grow in optimal conditions. I've defoliated the first few leaves off the plants to trigger the freshly topper bugger to produce it's four main tops so that I can top the plant again as soon as possible. Hopefully I'll get to top the plant again before the week is through. Currently the plant looks like an angry bush but throughout the week it should branch out quite a bit reaching for the light hopefully triggering a fast growth spurt. Enjoy.
The plant is really beginning to fill out after having been defoliated twice as well as being topped once. You can tell the plant is ready to start making itself taller as it begins to solidify a stronger root structure. Not much to really report as it's we've finally reached what I consider to be the start of real vegetation time for most photoperiod strains. Hopefully the plant will be packing on some height this week as expected. Enjoy.
Well it's the start of week 5 and the plant is beginning to start to really branch out. Looks like it'll ned to be trained quite a bit because some tops want to be the main despite me trying to get them all even. Not to worry though, I expect to have a lot of fun with this bad boy. Another week or so of vegetation and then I'll transplant into a 5 gallon pot for high stress training. Till then it's just a waiting game. 💤
As you may have noticed I switched over to flower for a few days to gender test the plant so we can find out if this is a male or a female. Once the plant begins to show it's sex we'll figure out if it needs to be quarantined as a male or leave it right where it is as a female. Wish me luck! Hoping it's a girl but if it's a male I wont mind harvesting the pollen to create a completely new strain for another journal. Wish me luck!
Now that my baby is a confirmed female I have switched the lighting back to 24 hours to 're-veg' the plant more or less. Soon I'll be taking a clone off of her and then training her a bit so that I can flower her while keeping the original mother alive in a sense.
Just another week of vegetation here so enjoy how awful she looks from all the stress I've put her through.
Cheers!
She's beginning to snap back into the swing of things after treating her like complete 💩 these past few weeks. Soon I'll be taking some clones off her and begin documenting the growth of those as well. My next flowering endeavor will most likely be her clones after I finish up breeding my Ahsoka Tano with itself. Until it's time to do so I'll just continue vegging this fool until I feel comfortable turning her into babies. Cheers!
She has finally been transplanted to a larger pot to be trained like the Ahsoka Tano. I cut one clone off her to keep her around since I kind of like her style. She now has 4 main tops and a few that may become main tops. Once she recovers in a few days I'll be training her so she can become a beautiful bush that I can flower :D
Enjoy.
Welp, I missed a week due to being in Alaska. She sucks and is super angry so I'm sure you all don't mind. HAHA
I got home and she looked to have recovered just a little bit so I decided to tie her down and train her a little bit. We'll see if she likes any form of training what-so-ever. I don't think I like this accidental strain but we are gonna grow her anyways just for the laughs at this point. If I like how she turns out I'll keep the clone I cut of her. If I decide I don't like her I will just throw the clone I cut of her away. I figured it'd be fun to grow her and it's been...... interesting to say the least. Soon I'll be growing a bunch of new strains so I'm not too concerned about this little old plant but I'll put the same work into her as the others regardless. Lets see if we can't make a bush out of her yet.
Cheers!
Just finishing up a few days more of vegetation before we switch her over to flower to get her out of the way of the rest of the booming garden. We'll be switching this plant, I'm not too much of a fan of, over to flower on day 81. We'll update the nutrients and info for the whole diary once we get into the next week.
Cheers!
Nutrients updated.
She's chugging along. It looks like she's finally decided to give a flying F^#$ about growing almost 90 days in. hahahahaha
I still don't much care for this plant but then she goes and shows me some very strong traits like her big leaves that are robust and strong and her gigantic pistols emanating from her growth nodes. I still don't know how to feel about her to be completely honest. I may cut a clone of her off to keep for myself to try again in the future when I clean up her lower branches. I'm not sure since I gave the other clones I cut to a buddy. I'll have to think about it. If I clone her she's going to go into a hydro setup to see if she grows any better than in soil but thats entirely a hypothetical scenario. We shall see.
Enjoy.
Welp, it's week two-ish of flower. Nothing too special happening except early bud development and some light defoliaton. Upped the nutrients to make sure she has the needed 'supplies' to bloom as I'd like her to. Nothing much else to report other than to show you all pretty pictures of her developing.
Enjoy :D
Here we have the end of week three and the start of week four of flower :D
Her nodes are getting very at and lovely, especially for her size. She's a tiny itty bitty bush with fat nodes on her and I'm starting to love her. I am contemplating either segregating her from my Ahsoka Tano when I pollinate her or even hitting her with some pollen to make another new strain to keep me busy this winter. I haven't made up my mind yet so we shall see. I hope you enjoy watching her develop.
Week 4 and part of week 5 of flower ladies and gentleman :D
She's plumping up very nicely!!!! She''s looking like she's ready to catch a tiny bit of pollen. I'm thinking I'll hit her with a glob of pollen next week if it's ready by then. I think I'll pollinate one or two branches of her just for some fun. She's just getting her standard dosage of nutrients this week in PH balanced 6 water. Not too much to report while we wait for all the hairs to start plumping up into buds. I hope you guys and gals enjoy the fun pictures. Not too much else to say about her except she looks beautiful and I take back 1/2 my hatred of her. lol.
Welcome to week 5 and part of week six of flower :D
She's coming along pretty nicely. I'm still trying to get the hang of my new camera but I just haven't really had to time to sit down and take some amazing photos with it yet which will be changing next week. Her buds are thickening up very nicely and emitting an amazing lemony gas smell with a hint of fruit behind it. She truly does smell like a melding of Lemon Alien and Quantum Kush. I hope to take some very nice photos of her next week to give you all a really nice look at her interior canopy and structure. Until then enjoy these mediocre pictures for this week :D
Welcome to week 6 and part of week 7 of flower. They are in full flush now to get them ready for harvest. Who knows when they'll be ready for harvesting but judging from their parents genetics I'll be guessing around day 55 - day 60. Maybe a few extra day after day 60 but the trichomes will tell all. She's starting to get a lovely aroma but since my sinuses are clogged I can't seem to pick up what exact notes are in that smell, just that she smells good. I hope you all enjoy this week, sorry for the overly purple photos. My phone does not like the spectrum of this light all that much. I'll try to give some better pictures next week when I'm less sick. Enjoy.
Welcome to the end of week seven and part of week eight of flower.
She's been enjoying her flush so far. I know it's impossible to tell but the leaves on this girl are purple. Next week I'll actually take her out of the tent and take a photo of her under some different light so that you can actually see her true colors. Looks like grow diaries is messing with uploaded photos color spectrum washing out photos that are under purple lighting. I'm sure they'll fix it soon as I've addressed the issue hoping they'll take it seriously. Not too much to report as she's entering what I think will be her final week next week (I hope). The trichomes will tell all so it's just a waiting game until then. Enjoy some washed out photos :D
This beautiful girl is more or less done with flower. I'm just waiting to see a few more trichomes turn amber before I cut her down. She's so beautiful and I couldn't be more proud of her progress. I went from absolutely hating this plant and wanting to burn it to loving her colors and smell. I hope you all enjoy her colors and I can't wait to cut her down, trim, and dry her out so I can give you all a smoke report. I hope you guys enjoyed this fun little side grow. Cheers!
She had such fantastic colors and a beautiful sweet and fruity aroma upon her finishing. I couldn't have changed my mind more about this plant. I have to say that I did really hate growing her but she turned out so beautifully! If I could have another shot at growing her I might have done a few things differently but you learn and live on; thus is life.
I have to say she changed my mind about her the second she started turning purple-ish black at the end of flower. I was shocked that she developed those colors as neither of her parent strains have any of the colors she has. Thats the mystery of genetics and breeding. I must say though I am happy to have her out of my tent so that I can test on some new strains as well as begin flowering some other plants. She was a fun little experiment to say the least. I hope you all enjoyed.
Well folks, his or her first week is finally finished. Very strong growth from the plant in my opinion. You'd have to know how Lemon Alien and Quantum Kush grow to know what I'm talking about here but I'm more than happy to fill you all in. It is too early to tell if the plant inherited any of the Lemon Alien's traits (Grows very stocky. A short bush that almost looks stunted) but the plant most certainly has the early traits of the Quantum Kush (Grows like a weed. Gets very tall quickly and has a very robust root structure).
I've honestly never seen a 7 day, from seed, plant have roots that are beginning to show on the side of the small cup. It appears as though this breed is something very strong and I'm excited to see it flourish.
Stay tuned for more next week.
Hey this is amazing cross last summer i took my 4ft stocky tight node structure sap filled super lemony, lemon alien male and painted his pollen on my 8 ft fast growing sticky skunky fat budded 11 finger leaf quantum kush female. The cross is amazing. Very fast growing very fast flowering amazing Terpenes can take heavy nutrient feedings. 1 pheno very bubblegum skunk upbeat tall.Then 2 phenos of super lemony. One short very heady and body euphoria. The other tall big massive resin filled buds fast growing slower to flower 9 weeks super upbeat very energetic super hazy on the head forgetful but happy and giggly. I loved every one of them. I named the quantum alien lemons. And quantum lemon alien bubblegum. I have about 100 seeds and ill keep these prized creations for my best friends and special occasions I will always have one or 2 in my garden growing at all times. I only grew out 6 last year so there are more phenos I am sure to be discovered. 4 females 2males. Out of the 6. Hope you enjoy. Ps I have no idea where the bubble gum smell came from but it is amazing. You will love this cross. Enjoy!
@Jdscustomcreations, Your first comment is probably the most OG thing ever. Thanks for the tip. It's not a creation I figured anyone had have happen yet since the strains are so new. Nice to know I'm gonna grow some fire from it. Now I really hope it's a girl because I'll just mom the crud out of her if so.
@CANNASIM, I was very surprised. You never know what you are going to get when you accidentally cross two strains. If it's a male (fingers crossed it's not) the genetics will be very nice to just instantly put on an old favorite. It's fun playing with pollen, accidental or not.
@CANNASIM, I was intentionally horrible to this plant to try and get it to show me it's sex the entire time I was vegging her. She was a feisty girl but after a little over a week of 12/12 and some very aggressive topping and defoliation she finally showed herself. Now that I know what she likes and how she behaves the clones I cut from her will be exquisite and grown at a much faster pace.
@DabCrab, I took these at the end of 3rd week flower (so don't keep the mother) and it took about 7-10d before ANY roots (I mean opening the rockwool to see root sprouts) as opposed to 3-5d for vegative clones. Plan is to reflower 4 weeks after cutting for perpetual harvest every 6-7 weeks. See my clone diary for more.
@Tazard1, Oh the cloning. I typically make a dozen clones or more and then keep the best six or so. I do enjoy cloning though. Its an easy way to shave off a few weeks depending on the size of the clones you cut. I need to make a new giant mom to cut beefy clones off of.
@Bigpun, Thanks buddy. I feel like I have a lot to show from this the next time I breed a new strain. I'm thinking I'll be doing something very interesting next time but I haven't quite made up my mind yet for my next breeding. I'll have to think on it for some time...... I'm thinking about trying to get some Alaskan Thunderfuck and breeding it with a Grandaddy purple. Though I don't know how to get pure versions of either of those strains so I'm just going to keep thinking on it.
@Teamdirtbag2, Honestly it's like a fruity piece of candy that turns into a kushy after taste. It's weird and hard to pinpoint an exact flavor. She does look crazy beautiful though. Doesn't she.
@erica01920, Thanks buddy. I had an undying hatred for this strain the entire time I grew her up until I say them at their last two weeks of flower. I'd have changed a lot about growing her if I had another go at her. She did turn out absolutely beautiful though. :D
@Tazard1, Lol, That'd be nice :D
Who knows what'll happen with this plant. I have zero expectations for it seeing as I don't like it in the least bit. She's an utter disappointment in my opinion. An uncontrolled breeding accident. Oh well, I'll try to have you optimism about 6 - 8 colas ;)
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, IF she does anything good in that time, yes. Otherwise it's more vegetation for her. She's mostly a side project that I'm not too terribly interested in anymore. It's always fun to grow something new and strain but she's still an accident that I wouldn't have made on my own if I had the choice. I'm probably gonna flower her next to my Ahsoka Tano after I'm done pollinating her. Stagger them about a month apart. We shall see though... The plant is the decider here, not me. Lol
@autopassion, That'll be interesting. It'll be difficult to find a good rederalis male to breed into your female. You'll have to let me know when you start so I can help if you need any at all or even follow along so I can watch all the fun :D
