Kevs_Best Flower Week 1 – Start | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸
Flower week one begins – and the transition is immediately visible. The plant reacts quickly to the photoperiod change: early stretch movement starts, new tops push upward, and the structure begins shifting toward full flowering mode.
This run originates from an originally revegged mother plant, selected from a feminized Wizard Trees seed. After identifying the phenotype during the first run, the plant was successfully revegged and maintained as a mother to preserve the genetics.
The vegetative phase lasted roughly 2.5 months. During this time several backup mothers and clones were taken, securing the genetic line and preparing for future runs. Only after those backups were established was the original revegged mother moved into the flowering cycle.
The extended vegetative phase is clearly visible in the plant’s structure: strong branching, thick main stems and significant stored energy throughout the canopy.
IPM & Plant Care
Throughout the entire vegetative stage the plant followed the Athena schedule.
Stack and IPM were applied two to three times per week. Because of a previous encounter with spider mites, the preventative program was maintained carefully, keeping the dosage between the recommended minimum and maximum range.
The plant responded extremely well, developing dense foliage, strong structure and overall healthy vigor.
Naturally, during vegetative growth the Grow formula was used instead of Bloom.
Current schedule at the start of flower
• daily morning irrigation with the standard nutrient solution
• Stack + IPM every three days
• this program will likely continue until the end of flower week three at most
The goal during the stretch phase is to keep the plant stable, minimize stress and maintain consistent preventative pest management.
Overall impression – Start of Flower
The plant enters flowering with strong momentum. Healthy deep green color. Good leaf tension. Stable structural framework with energy built during the long veg phase.
The foundation is set.
Now the phase begins where stretch, bud site formation and the full genetic expression of the Crimson Clay phenotype start to appear.
Flower week 1 has begun.

Kevs_Best Kevs_Best Flower Week 2 – Structure & Stretch | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸
Flower week two is complete – and the development is right on track.
The stretch is now fully active but remains controlled and even. Internodal spacing has opened up nicely, creating a structured and breathable upper canopy while new tops continue stacking consistently.
The plant shows a very balanced growth pattern: no uncontrolled stretching, but a well-managed vertical expansion with strong structural integrity.
Bud sites are now clearly forming and developing evenly across the entire canopy. The plant has fully transitioned into generative growth.
Structure & Development
The extended vegetative phase is now paying off:
• even canopy distribution
• strong upright branches
• good light penetration in the upper zone
• clean node spacing without chaotic growth
The canopy remains dense but well organized – ideal conditions for future dense colas.
Health & Appearance
The plant continues to show excellent vitality:
• deep, healthy green color
• strong leaf tension
• no visible deficiencies
• active and vigorous growth
Leaf structure appears “charged,” indicating strong nutrient uptake and stable environmental conditions.
IPM & Plant Care
The preventative program was slightly intensified:
• Stack + IPM every two days
• daily morning irrigation with standard nutrient solution
Due to increasing flower formation, IPM applications will likely be continued only until the end of flower week three.
Focus remains on:
→ maintaining stability
→ minimizing stress during stretch
→ consistent preventative management without affecting flower development
Overall Impression – End of Week 2
The plant is in excellent condition.
Stretch is active but controlled. Structure is strong and well distributed. Bud sites are clearly defined and evenly spread.
The foundation for dense, high-quality flowers is now fully set.
Now begins the phase where bud density and final structure are determined.
Flower week 2 complete. The run is progressing exactly as intended.

Kevs_Best Kevs_Best Flower Week 3 – Stretch Peak & Resin Production | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸
Flower week three is complete – and the intensity of development has increased significantly.
Stretch accelerated rapidly during this phase, with the plant gaining height quickly over just a few days. Despite this fast growth, structure remains controlled and stable – no chaos, just clean expansion with well-distributed tops.
At the same time, resin production has kicked in aggressively and unusually early. A strong layer of trichomes is already visible across sugar leaves and bud sites.
The plant is now transitioning from stretch → true flower mass production.
Structure & Development
Week three clearly marks the stretch peak:
• accelerated vertical growth
• clean internodal spacing without instability
• even canopy level maintained
• strong light penetration across the canopy
The plant remains fully under control despite the rapid expansion – a clear sign of a well-dialed setup.
The foundation from veg + early flower is now paying off heavily.
Resin & Terpene Development
This is where things start getting serious:
• very early and aggressive trichome production
• visible resin layer already in week 3
• sugar leaves turning noticeably frosty
• terpene production already running strong
The plant already looks like mid-flower – which is exceptional for this stage.
→ strong rosin potential already visible
→ terpene profile developing early and intensely
This is the type of development that leads to true top-shelf quality.
Health & Appearance
The plant remains in excellent condition:
• deep, healthy green color
• strong leaf structure despite rapid growth
• no visible stress
• high vitality across the entire plant
Leaf structure still appears “charged,” indicating optimal nutrient uptake and stability.
IPM & Plant Care
With increasing flower development, IPM was intentionally reduced:
• last application of Stack + IPM on day 2 (after lights off)
• full stop afterward to avoid impacting flower formation
Even with the early stop, effects remain clearly visible:
→ benefits from veg + weeks 1–2 still present
→ structure and vitality remain at a high level
Focus now shifts entirely to:
→ resin production
→ flower stacking
→ maximizing quality without interference
Overall Impression – End of Week 3
The plant has made a major leap forward.
Stretch is at its peak or nearing completion. Structure remains clean and well distributed. Resin production is already outstanding.
The foundation is not only set – it’s now starting to fully express itself.
Now begins the phase where colas will stack, densify, and build final weight.
Flower week 3 complete. The run continues at a very high level.

Kevs_Best Flower Week 4 – Height Limit & Resin Explosion | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸
Flower week four is complete – and the plant has now reached its structural maximum.
Stretch is fully finished, with a final height of 112 cm. From this point forward, all energy shifts into flower density, stacking, and resin production.
Structure & Development
At the end of week four:
• stretch fully completed
• final height reached at 112 cm
• even and well-distributed canopy
• stable structure across all tops
Energy has now fully transitioned:
→ from vertical growth
→ to flower mass and density
Light Intensity & Limit
A key observation in this phase:
• slight bleaching on the top 2–3 buds
• these tops are positioned at around 12 cm from the light
• buds at approximately 20 cm distance show perfect response with no stress
This clearly defines the usable light range:
→ at ~12 cm, the plant exceeds its optimal light threshold (bleaching zone)
→ at ~20 cm, the plant operates at maximum efficiency without stress
This allows a very precise mapping of the effective PPFD window:
👉 12 cm = overdrive / bleaching zone
👉 20 cm = optimal maximum intensity
The plant is now running exactly at its peak performance range – any increase beyond this point leads directly to light stress.
👉 This defines the true performance ceiling
👉 the balance point between maximum output and stress
Resin & Terpene Development
This is where things accelerate significantly:
• aggressive trichome spread across all surfaces
• resin production increasing rapidly
• sugar leaves and buds heavily coated
• terpene profile intensifying strongly
The plant is now clearly moving toward:
→ high-end resin production
→ deep terpene expression
Color Development (Purple Phase)
By the end of week four:
• early purple hues begin appearing on main buds
• color shift starts clean and evenly
Indicating:
→ strong genetic expression
→ stable environmental control
Health & Condition
The plant remains in excellent condition:
• strong, healthy foliage
• no structural weaknesses
• stable energy distribution
• high vitality across all bud sites
Overall Impression – End of Week 4
The plant has reached its height limit and is now fully focused on final production.
• stretch completed
• structure locked in
• resin production accelerating
• terpene intensity rising
• early color development visible
Now begins the critical phase:
→ cola stacking
→ bud densification
→ maximum quality expression
Conclusion
An exceptionally strong clone run.
Performance is clearly above average – both structurally and in early resin and terpene output.
Flower week 4 complete. Now the transition begins from strong → exceptional 🔥

Kevs_Best Kevs_Best Flower Week 5 – Bulk Phase & Terpene Surge | Crimson Clay Clone 🌸
Flower week five is complete – and the plant has now fully entered the mass-building and resin production phase.
Everything that was prepared in week 4 is now visibly expanding in volume, density, and intensity.
Structure & Development
The transition from week 4 → 5 marks a key shift:
• buds are swelling significantly (clear increase in volume)
• calyx stacking becomes more pronounced
• structure remains stable despite increasing weight
• tops are building noticeable depth
The plant is now clearly in:
→ bulk phase (weight & density)
→ active cola stacking
This is no longer just formation – it’s now:
→ simultaneous expansion and densification
Resin Development (Frost Level)
This is where things really escalate:
• trichomes are spreading even more aggressively than in week 4
• sugar leaves are now heavily coated
• resin is pushing deeper into the bud structure
• a visible frost layer covers nearly all surfaces
👉 The difference compared to week 4 is not just more resin
→ but denser, more compact trichome coverage
This is clearly moving toward:
→ high-end frost coverage
→ tight, stacked resin formation
Terpene Development (Major Upgrade)
This is likely the biggest leap:
• terpene intensity has increased significantly
• clear fruity notes are now emerging
• combined with a developing gassy depth
• overall profile becomes more complex and layered
👉 Key point:
This development is already:
→ more intense than the seed run
→ progressing faster into a complex terpene profile
Which indicates:
• strong phenotype expression
• improved performance in clone form
• overall optimized run conditions
Current direction:
→ fruity
→ sweet
→ with a gassy undertone
And this is only week 5.
Light Response (Week 4 Confirmation)
The previously identified limits remain consistent:
• tops at ~12 cm are still in the overdrive/bleaching range
• ~20 cm distance continues to deliver perfect performance
• no additional stress escalation observed
👉 Meaning:
The light intensity is now perfectly dialed in
→ maximum output without introducing new stress
Color Development (Purple Progression)
The early color phase continues:
• purple tones become slightly more pronounced
• development remains even and clean
• no signs of stress-related discoloration
→ stable genetic expression
→ controlled maturation process
Health & Overall Condition
The plant remains in excellent condition:
• strong, healthy foliage
• no structural weaknesses despite increasing mass
• stable energy distribution across the canopy
• consistently high vitality
👉 The system is running clean and efficient
→ exactly what you want to see at this stage
Overall Impression – End of Week 5
The direction is now very clear:
• strong bud expansion
• increasing density
• significantly elevated frost level
• terpene profile rapidly intensifying
• continued color development
The focus is now fully on:
→ final cola stacking
→ maximum density & weight
→ pushing terpene expression to peak
Conclusion
A very strong transition from week 4 → 5.
What stands out most:
👉 stronger terpene development than in the seed run
👉 clear explosion in volume and frost
👉 precise control at the edge of light intensity limits
This is the phase where a run shows whether it’s just good…
or truly exceptional.
And this one is clearly heading toward:
→ high-end output / showcase-level phenotype 🔥

Kevs_Best 🇬🇧 Kevs_Best – Final Flower Week 8 | Crimson Clay Cut 🌸
The final days really showed how hard this phenotype evolved toward the finish line.
During the last week, the fade intensified heavily — colors became much deeper and the entire plant started expressing that dark, almost fully “crimson” appearance.
Especially over the last three days, there was another noticeable shift:
• stronger purple/dark fade across the whole plant
• much more contrast between frost, calyxes and leaves
• buds became denser and more compact
• trichome coverage stacked up aggressively
• nearly every surface is completely coated in resin
Toward the end, the Crimson Clay Cut delivered exactly the combination I was looking for:
→ extreme frost development
→ aggressive coloration
→ compact stacked bud structure
→ and a fully matured terpene profile
The terps evolved heavily during the last few days and became significantly more layered and complex.
Those original clay & glue notes transformed into something slightly cheesy — super pungent, gassy and funky, while still staying sweet and tropical. Additionally, those Zangria/red wine terp notes are still heavily present in the base profile and blend extremely well with the darker gas, clay and pine characteristics. Toward the finish, the whole profile almost feels like a mix of sweet red wine, dark fruits, funky gas and cold menthol.
Now combined with:
→ menthol vibes
→ deep forest pine notes
→ and a heavy almost “dark” gas profile in the background
The overall profile now feels much louder, rounder and more mature compared to 1–2 weeks ago.
During the final 8 days, the plant only received water with a small amount of Cleanse and minimal Balance to maintain stable pH while allowing a light finishing phase.
What’s especially interesting:
The clone run is developing even stronger and more complex terpene expression than the original seed run.
The final days really pushed this phenotype into showcase territory.
#nothingforsale #21+
@UnorthadoxDude, Yo thanks! I’m hoping this run pushes the results even further than the last one. Running the clone again is mainly about testing stability and reproducibility of the phenotype 💯💚🔥
