Kevs_Best Flower Week 2 – Final Day | Applewood Pie Clone 🌸
Week two of flower closes out – and this is where direction becomes visible. Bud sites are forming cleanly, pistils are pushing strong, and the stretch is still active but controlled. The plant has fully switched into bloom mode.
This run originates from an Applewood Pie clone that spent nearly six months in vegetative growth – first outdoors, then transitioned indoors. You can clearly see that extended veg energy in the structure: thick branches, strong frame, serious stored vigor.
Pest situation – transparent & managed
The outdoor-to-indoor transition unfortunately introduced spider mites. This was identified immediately and handled proactively.
The entire grow has been supported by predatory mites, keeping everything under steady control. It was a management process, not a disaster.
Lesson learned: For the upcoming Last Dance clone run, a full IPM stack will already be implemented during vegetative stage to prevent similar risks from the start. Growth means constant optimization.
Overall Impression – End of Week 2
Despite the early challenge, the plant stands powerful and stable. Healthy green color. Strong leaf tension. Visible upward drive.
The canopy is structured yet energetic – you can feel the momentum building toward full cola development.
Flower week two is complete. Now the real mass and resin phase begins.

Kevs_Best Flower Week 3 – Momentum Phase 🌸🔥
Week three is rolling strong – everything is progressing exactly as planned. Stretch is still present but no longer chaotic. Internodes are clean, tops align evenly under the light, and the plant is clearly shifting energy into flower production.
Bud sites are now clearly defined. What were small pre-flowers last week are turning into structured clusters. Pistils are fresh and vigorous.
You can feel the transition from vertical growth to mass building.
Structure & Health
Stems remain strong, slight reddish petioles visible but fully within healthy range. Leaf color is rich green, no stress signs, no deficiencies – clean progression.
The canopy is filling in without becoming overcrowded. Light penetration and airflow remain balanced.
Resin & What’s Next
Fine trichome formation is now visible on sugar leaves – subtle, but clearly starting.
Week three marks the beginning of real bud stacking. If momentum continues like this, weeks 4–5 will be explosive.
So far: Healthy run. Controlled development. Full momentum.

Kevs_Best Flower Week 4 – Full Expansion Under Pressure
In week four of flowering the plants have fully entered their expansion phase. The structure is visibly tightening, new calyxes are stacking consistently, and resin production is clearly accelerating.
Humidity is kept consistently at 60% to provide optimal conditions for the predatory mites so they can effectively do their job. The IPM strategy remains stable and preventive.
Despite controlled environmental parameters, the plant continues stretching aggressively. The two upper main tops are now only about 14 cm below the lamp, which has resulted in slightly bleached, almost albino-looking tips — but only on those two highest buds.
Interestingly, the buds located roughly 20 cm lower show zero signs of stress and handle maximum PPFD without any issues. Light management is fundamentally on point — only the very top colas are currently receiving the most intense exposure.
The plants are clearly in full stacking mode. Bud sites are tightening up, sugar leaves are increasingly covered in trichomes, and overall structure is becoming denser.
Aroma development is already pronounced and very expressive — similar to the previous clone:
🌲 Forest-like
🍏 Apple
🌰 with a warm cinnamon undertone
Terpenes are spreading early and intensely, which is a very promising sign for the upcoming weeks.
The direction is right — now it's about maintaining stability and channeling energy into clean bud development.

Kevs_Best Flower Week 5 – Density & Resin Acceleration
By week five the stretch phase is fully completed. Energy is now clearly redirected into bud density. Internodes are filling out and individual bud sites are gradually merging into structured colas.
Overall structure appears strong, stems are supporting the increasing weight without issues. The previously slightly light-bleached tops have not worsened — they remain mildly brighter due to light intensity, while the rest of the canopy performs optimally at proper distance.
Resin production has noticeably increased. Sugar leaves are now heavily coated in trichomes, developing that distinct frosted appearance. Each new calyx layer adds more shine and surface coverage.
Humidity continues to be carefully controlled to maintain a clean microclimate within the canopy. Airflow becomes increasingly important as the buds are visibly thickening.
Aroma development is intensifying significantly:
🌲 Deep forest
🍏 Ripe apple
🌰 Spicy cinnamon with a subtle sweet undertone
Compared to the previous run, terpene expression appears earlier and more clearly structured. The plant is now fully operating in “resin production mode.”
If stability continues at this level, this run may surpass the previous one.

Kevs_Best EN: Flower Week 6 – Full Swell Phase & Terpene Surge
By week six the plant has fully entered its final expansion stage. Buds are visibly swelling, calyxes are stacking tightly, and the colas are beginning to take on their final shape.
Stretch is long finished — all available energy is now redirected into volume and resin production. Bud sites that were still separated in week four are now merging into compact, continuous flower structures.
Resin production has reached another level. Sugar leaves are heavily coated, trichomes appear denser and more evenly distributed. The frosted look is now approaching full coverage.
The slightly light-affected tops remain stable without further progression. The rest of the canopy performs consistently and supports the increasing weight without structural issues.
Humidity remains controlled but slightly adjusted to account for increasing bud density. Airflow is becoming critical as flowers are thickening significantly.
Aromatically, week six marks a turning point.
Terpenes are extremely pronounced and aggressively filling the space:
🌲 Deep, moist forest
🍏 Intense ripe apple
🌰 Warm cinnamon with a sweet-spicy undertone
🔥 A subtle creamy depth in the background
Compared to week five, the profile feels rounder, denser, and noticeably louder. The aroma no longer stays within the canopy — it fills the entire environment.
The plant is now clearly operating in “final swell mode.” If stability continues, the remaining weeks will be pure refinement.

Kevs_Best EN: Flowering Week 7 – Ripening Phase & Controlled Fade
In week seven, the run clearly transitions into the final ripening phase. The buds have now reached their full volume and are visibly pushing outward. The calyxes appear swollen, compact, and massive.
The colas have solidified their structure. What was density in week 5 and swelling phase in week 6 is now a clear formation of the final flower architecture.
The resin production has noticeably increased again. The sugar leaves are almost completely covered – trichomes are packed closely together. The frost look is now heading towards "Velvet Resin Layer."
Color-wise, the controlled fade is now showing. The upper fan leaves are starting to bleed out slightly, with dark violet and anthracite tones becoming more prominent. Not a stress fade, but a cleanly initiated end phase.
As usual, this week we switched from Core to Fade. Nutrient supply is consciously reduced to lead the plant into its final ripening and further sharpen the terpene profile.
Humidity remains moderately controlled, as the buds are now extremely dense. Air circulation is crucial – the colas now have real weight.
Aromatically, week 7 is loud. Very loud.
🌲 Deep, resinous forest
🍏 Dark ripe apple
🌰 Warm cinnamon with caramelized sweetness

Kevs_Best Kevs_Best EN: Flower Week 9 – The Final Days of Ripening
Week nine did not begin with growth –
it began with stillness.
The plant’s architecture was fully complete.
No new floral structures formed, no further expansion occurred.
The colas stood firm, dense and heavy – their final form had been reached.
What happened during these days was no longer development.
It was completion.
The final days were dedicated solely to internal cleansing and final maturation.
No regular nutrient program was provided anymore.
Only pure water was used.
In addition, Athena Cleanse continued to be applied:
twice at a higher dosage to actively clean the system,
followed by the normal maintenance dose.
The plant began to live entirely from its own internal reserves.
Leaves continued to retreat as pigments deepened.
The controlled fade reached its final color spectrum:
Anthracite.
Deep violet.
Muted dark green tones.
The flowers themselves remained massive, compact and completely coated in resin.
The resin layer now appeared almost like fine powdered sugar, evenly covering calyxes and sugar leaves.
Aromatically, the profile became even more concentrated.
The fresh notes from earlier weeks nearly disappeared and gave way to a deep, mature intensity:
🌲 dark resin and forest floor
🍏 deeply ripened apple with subtle fermented sweetness
🌰 warm cinnamon and woody undertones
🔥 a dark, almost balsamic warmth in the background
On the final day before harvest, the substrate EC measured only 0.4.
The plant was nearly fully cleared of excess nutrients.
Everything was prepared for the final step.
The architecture was complete.
Resin production had peaked.
The plant had reached full maturity.
There was nothing left to build.
It was time to harvest.
DE Strain-Review: Sherbzooka - Apple Wood Pie – Dessert Pheno #5 (Clone Run)
The Apple Wood Pie phenotype delivers a terpene profile built entirely around rich dessert-style aromas — deep sweetness, creamy warmth and impressive aromatic density.
Opening the jar immediately releases a powerful fresh baked apple pie aroma. Juicy, slightly caramelized apple notes blend with warm vanilla and cream accents, reminiscent of an apple tart topped with vanilla custard.
The aroma is not only sweet but also dense and heavy, with terpene intensity that almost feels oily and concentrated. In the background sits a subtle woody warmth, adding depth and perfectly complementing the apple pie character.
On the palate the flavor becomes even more expressive:
rich baked apple
creamy vanilla and sweet cream
warm apple pie crust notes
finishing with a candy-like sweetness
The finish is where this phenotype really shines. It leaves a lingering sensation similar to a sweet apple-vanilla candy slowly melting on the palate.
Terpene intensity is remarkably high. The smoke feels dense, creamy and remains present in the mouth for a long time.
A true dessert-style connoisseur strain, reminiscent of high-end pastry flavors rather than typical cannabis profiles.
End result:
light grey ash, dense creamy smoke, strong euphoric warmth with a sweet apple-vanilla candy finish.
