Cadillac RainbowZ (fem., photo., clone) - PUREMICHIGAN line
initial values recorded above [EC was 818]; added 3 gallons water and 4 gallons of feed (flower week 1), will enter a flowering light schedule within the next week
the frame on the middle clone is subpar, the two on the right were soil transplants and are lagging behind
initial values recorded above; water change next week, added 2 gallons of feed (flower week 2) and 5 mL pH down with a top off of the system
they were flipped on 1/7 and are running a shortened day cycle (something I have done with this cultivar before and she is receptive to it)
added 2 gallons of feed (flower week 3) and 5 mL pH down; after mixing pH = 6.77, PPM = 781, EC = 1676
gentle defoliation done on lower limbs once the stretch plateaued, not worried about having a perfect canopy with this cultivar as the internodal spacing itself ensures ample lighting to middles and lowers
no amending the solution, just topped off with ~5 gallons of water
did a defoliation today, which will be the last time I touch the girls before cutting down
timeline is approximately half of a week to a week with the current solution, at which point I'll begin my flush routine hoping to last around 10 days.
on 6/28 I flushed the solution and replaced with water amended with only Heavy 16 Finish per instructions and 5ml pH down; have been monitoring day versus night water metrics, intend to swap solution to a water only flush during night on 3/4 and again on 3/6, then harvest at night on 3/7
must say that this cultivar I am only familiar with in soil mediums, some differences include (1) the stretch observed during this hydro grow certainly caught me off guard and (2) the terpene profile is distinctly more sweet/runtz-like whereas in soil this cut comes out like minced garlic
"8 and Wait" methodology takes a first principles approach to flowering photoperiod cannabis and relies on the assumption that the fastest delivery of an appropriate DLI without materially stressing the plant leads to the quickest flowering time possible within the domain of a specific genotype. The natural implementation of this methodology is to minimize daylight hours while delivering the target DLI. This is more of a framework than a methodology per say.

My soil grows of her come out extremely garlicky which I enjoyed, the hydro grows came out dripping with Z terps. An amazing cross, sometimes a little slow to root for cuttings. Came from reg. seeds as a hunted clone traded in commercial circles in the Midwest USA. Undoubtedly the real deal from Thug Pug and 3rd Coast's work. A low yielder with large internodal spacing, the sky is the limit with how dense or purple you want these flowers to be.
I was amazed with the purple dripping down the scissors. The harvest is in the dry tent with an estimated dry of 10 days, weather depending. From experience I imagine there is a 1/4 lb dry and I know I have some hash to look forward to. The Cadillac RainbowZ always delivers on that front. 👽
Harvest incoming today, she is dripping with Z terps. The autumn effect is sheer purple, to the point of running down my Chika's...
When in the Midwest, this is a cut I can usually find at dispos due to the Thug Pug / 3rd Coast collab and the oomph behind those names in the region. If I had time to hunt through infinite regs, I'd probably live in the domain of the PUREMICHIGAN crosses for a while. These breeders really outdid themselves with this one.
