Xpie77 Grow Diary: Week 6 Flowering - 24K Kush (WeedSeedShop, Non-Autoflower) 🌟🌱 General Overview: In week 6 of the flowering phase, the 24K Kush from WeedSeedShop, an indica-dominant, non-autoflowering hybrid (photoperiod) with influences from Kosher Kush and Tangie, shows impressive development. This strain is known for its potent, relaxing effects, citrusy and earthy aromas, and a THC content of 18-22%. As it is a photoperiod plant, flowering is induced by a light schedule of 12/12, and in week 6, the buds are in a crucial phase of thickening and resin production. The total flowering time typically lasts 8-10 weeks, which means the harvest is still 2-4 weeks away. Plant Observations: 🌿 Height and Structure: The 24K Kush has reached a height of 80-120 cm indoors or up to 150 cm outdoors, depending on training techniques such as topping, FIM, or SCROG. The plant has a compact, bushy structure typical of indica-dominant varieties, with short internodal distances and dense side branches. Due to the 12/12 light cycle, the stretch phase is largely over, and energy is now directed towards bud formation. 🍃 Leaves and Health: The leaves are dark green and healthy, with minimal yellowing at the bottom due to natural nutrient movement towards the tops. No clear signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies, provided it is well-fed. Regular inspection for spider mites or bud rot is essential, especially with dense indica buds. 🌸 Bud Development: The buds are well-formed, compact, and beginning to thicken significantly. White pistils are curling and turning orange/brown, indicating progress in the flowering phase. Trichomes are prominent and becoming milky, with a sticky texture and a strong aroma of citrus, pine, and earthy undertones. Resin production is high, underscoring the potential of 24K Kush. Environmental Conditions: 💡 Light Cycle: Photoperiod plants like 24K Kush require a strict 12/12 light schedule (12 hours light, 12 hours dark) to maintain flowering. Use a powerful LED (400-600W/m²) or HPS lamp, with a lamp-canopy distance of 30-50 cm to prevent light stress. 🌡️ Temperature and Humidity: Keep the temperature between 21-25°C during the day and 17-20°C at night. Relative humidity should be around 40-45% to avoid mold formation (such as bud rot), especially given the dense buds of this indica-dominant strain. Ensure good ventilation and a carbon filter to manage the strong odor. 💧 Water and Nutrients: Water every 2-3 days when the top 2-3 cm of the medium feels dry (pH 6.2-6.5 for soil, 5.8-6.0 for coco/hydro). Feeding schedule: bloom nutrients (e.g., Canna Bloom 3-4 ml/L), a bloom booster like Green Sensation or PK 13/14 (1-2 ml/L), and CalMag (0.5-1 ml/L) at signs of deficiencies. Lightly flush with pH-balanced water if signs of overfeeding occur (burnt leaf tips). Possible Challenges and Tips: ⚠️ Bud Rot Risk: The compact, dense buds of 24K Kush are susceptible to mold in humid conditions. Maintain low humidity and strong air circulation with oscillating fans. 🐞 Pests: Regularly check for spider mites or whiteflies, especially in a warm, enclosed grow tent. Use preventive biological agents like neem oil as needed. 🔍 Harvest Timing: The harvest is likely still 2-4 weeks away. Use a loupe (30x-60x) to check trichomes; aim for 70% milky and 20-30% amber for a relaxing indica high. ✂️ Defoliation: Selectively remove large shadow leaves to improve light penetration to lower buds, but be careful to minimize stress. Consider schwazzing-like techniques only if you are experienced, given the sensitivity of photoperiod plants at this stage. Outlook: In the coming weeks, the buds will continue to thicken, with a more intense aroma of citrus and earthy Kush tones. The trichomes will become more amber, and the yield can reach 400-550 g/m² indoors under optimal conditions, or up to 600 g per plant outdoors. Keep a close eye on nutrients and the environment, and start flushing 1-2 weeks before harvest (only pH-balanced water) to enhance flavor and purity.
