My first photoperiod grow for quite a while. I'm a bit nervous about it 😂
So I germed a single seed using a method I found after a lengthy trawl of the web. It is a natural sponge, cut in half, which is wetted and wrung out. You then place the seed in this, and place it in an airtight container. Keep this at a nice ~25c in the dark and it will germinate. I found better results for myself than dropping in water or paper towel method.
Well she doubled her height this week. She is the smallest in the batch. If I'm honest I didn't expect her to make it this far. During germination I disturbed & agitated the box by knocking it 😡 this led to the very tip of the taproot being severed off but crucially this was below the 'hairs' that extend out horizontally. I took a gamble and planted her expecting it to be a mortal wound but mother nature again shows her resilience.
Above all else I've learned that nature strives very hard to survive. It's kinda humbling really.........
Day 21 - she got repotted into her 38 Litre airpot. She is not as close to the lights as I'd like, but saying that I wouldn't mind her to stretch a little bit.
She shot up this week!!!!! Grew 15cm/6"!
Day 42 - I took off about 6 huge fan leaves to give lower levels of the plant some more light.
This is her last week on 20/4 lighting. 12/12 from now on.
Day 56 - She grew 9cm this week. She is a large plant, very bushy. Lots of flower sites forming.
Day 56 - Tent configuration changed: 4x more CREE CXB3590's have been added and 4x blurple LED things removed. Lights now consist of 8x CXB3590's & 1x 1000W HID with flower bulb.
With thanks going to Spliff Seeds for having faith in me to do a diary for them. I hope I have not disappointed you guys.
I have to say this is a very nice strain. I and everybody that's tried it appreciate it more as time goes on, I'm gonna rate this as a 10 upon 2 months of 'review' 😍
From Spliff Seeds blurb:
Gold Bar Kush - Orange/apricot citrus kush taste. Happy energetic high with a relaxing body stone. Tall growing kush which has sticky buds with a deep orange overtone. Excellent for depression, stress, fatigue, headaches, lack of appetite.
By crossing Medical Kush with Orange Bud, we created a kush hybrid which grows much taller and faster than Medical Kush.
The yield and bud structure has also improved significantly as the buds are brighter green with big orange hairs and Indica style bud formation. The aim of this cross was to produce a strain with the strength of kush, but also with an exotic orange citrus flavour. Using a Medical Kush male, we turned the dank lemon scent to a sharper citrus orange one.
The buds have an earthy kush and citrus smell. The deep sharp orange taste is accompanied by a creamy kush aftertaste. Gold Bar Kush has a dreamy accelerated high with feelings of complete relaxation and a really calming, but not overwhelming, stone.
Potential THC level high.
Indica-dominant (60%)
Day 117 from seed = harvest day!!!!!!!!!!
Dry weight on the scales: 94g
I would have liked a bigger yield. She hardly stretched during flowering, possibly due to my UV lights.
Very nice flowers though. Quite dense and sticky!! 😍
Very nice strain. Seems to get better with age. 10*/10*
@Dunk_Junk,
my thoughts are: enjoy what you got 😍
but on the bottom of the picture the green little thing seems to be some male genitalia.. "banana" I think they call it.
Maybe check your box for light leaks before you start another
