all_about_420 With a massive growth spurt, the young lady makes her comeback and impressively shows what kind of power she has inside her. The main stem shoots up vigorously, while the side branches in the lower area are already wonderfully developing on their own due to the enormous vitality. The structure of the plant is absolutely perfectly defined: a thick, sturdy stem and extremely pronounced nodes provide the ideal foundation for the upcoming plant training. With this robust tissue structure, it’s practically a must to set the first topping in the next few days and lay the branches flat using LST to maximize light yield in the setup and create a perfectly even canopy.

all_about_420 This week was all about High-Stress and Low-Stress training, and the results are absolutely impressive. Right after topping the main stem, the side branches were gently but firmly forced into the horizontal using LST hooks to break the apical dominance. The plant recovered from the intervention surprisingly quickly and immediately redirected its growth energy to the lower shoots. Within just a few days, the fixed branches stood back up powerfully, so the growth is now massively spreading out. A beautiful, even canopy is already forming, perfectly utilizing the light and laying the foundation for a perfectly structured, homogeneous area in the setup.

All side branches have opened up evenly and are forming an absolutely dense, homogeneous canopy that optimally fills the base area. The interplay of genetic vigor and targeted nutrient supply results in lush green sun sails, healthy leaf edges, and perfect branching in the setup. The structure looks fantastic, capturing the available light seamlessly and already hinting at how much potential this pretty lady has for the next development phase.

all_about_420 An intense fine-tuning was on the agenda to perfectly control bushiness and height growth in the tent. After a targeted defoliation and topping round mid-week, it went straight into the new substrate so that the root system can really kick into gear. To deliberately avoid a too massive final height in the setup, height growth was consistently slowed down this time. The beauty takes the measures in stride, regenerates rapidly, and builds a closed, homogeneous crown again in just a few days. With the fresh nutrient potential backing it up, there are now about two weeks of targeted regeneration ahead before the light schedule is finally switched to 12/12.

all_about_420 An eventful week with maximum action in the tent: After a strong push at the start of the week, there was a targeted LST upgrade in the middle, where the main stems were consistently secured outward to completely spread out the center. The reaction didn't take long – just one day after tying them down, all the tops were pointing straight up towards the LED again. By the weekend, the beauty is standing tall again, showcasing enormous vitality and utilizing the gained ground space for a perfectly symmetrical, dense structure that's optimally prepared for the final phase of vegetation.

all_about_420 The transition to 12/12 hits hard and initiates a dynamic pre-flowering phase. The plant has not lost any time and already shows the first fine pistils at the internodes after just under a week. The stretch is exceptionally vigorous here and noticeably pushes the height growth; only a single main shoot is slightly out of line with a bit more length growth, while the rest of the crown structure remains pleasantly stable and homogeneous. The tissue is absolutely healthy and lush with sap, the nutrient processing is running at full speed, and the lady is building a powerful framework to perfectly support the upcoming flower clusters in the coming weeks.

all_about_420 The generative development is gaining momentum rapidly and the bud formation is visibly shifting into the next gear. From the delicate pre-blooms of the previous week, dense, bushy pistil formations have developed at all shoot tips, unmistakably marking the onset of the actual flowering phase. The stretch is slowly coming to an end, which has wonderfully stabilized the entire structure; the shoots are standing tightly aligned in the light and provide the perfect framework for the upcoming bud mass. Thanks to the balanced nutrient supply and the stable conditions in the setup, the foliage is showing in rich, healthy green, which provides the ideal basis to allow the flower cups to swell massively in the coming weeks.

all_about_420 Forget about the end of the stretch – this lady has really pulled through and is now reaching a respectable 125 cm. The vegetative growth power has hit hard, fortunately with surprisingly short internodal distances, keeping the structure compact; only a single outlier shoot is shooting up extremely high, but with the lights fully raised, it can still be kept nicely in the sweet spot. The flower sites are literally exploding in parallel and already show a dense, snow-white sea of pistils. To provide the dense undergrowth with the much-needed circulation, lollipopping is firmly on the agenda for the next few days, so that the energy can be fully channeled into the upper main buds right on time as the fourth week begins.

all_about_420 Finally, great ventilation and full focus in the tent again: After a thorough lollipopping, the lower third is completely cleared, allowing the plant to direct all its energy uncompromisingly into the upper colas. Despite the impressive overall height, the flower clusters have developed a fantastic structure, swelling robustly and already showing the very first fine trichome formation on the sugar leaves. Alongside a wonderfully intense terpene profile that now fills the space, a subtle, beautiful color change is already hinted at the tips and calyxes, impressively announcing the visual potential of this strain for the upcoming ripening weeks.

all_about_420 The final ripening stage provides an absolutely spectacular sight in the tent. The massive flower buds have gained significant density, swelling to the max and showing an extremely resinous trichome coat that frosts the calyxes. To support the enormous weight of the colas, a subtle support ensures maximum relief for the branches. The terpene profile is at its absolute peak, the pistils are starting to darken beautifully amber, and the lady is concentrating all her remaining energy on the final resin and cannabinoid maturation – a truly crowning conclusion for this top-notch run.

all_about_420 Absolute powerhouse in the tent: The buds have massively increased in volume and density, almost seamlessly coming together and presenting themselves as solid colas in the light. With maturity, a beautiful purple and violet hue now shines through the calyxes and sugar leaves, which contrasts fantastically with the thick, sticky frost blanket. The stigmas have almost completely turned a deep amber, while the plant emits an extremely intense, intoxicating smell that dominates the entire room. For the final touch, Overdrive from Advanced Nutrients is now coming into play to squeeze out every last bit of flower mass and terpenes from the genetics. An absolutely flawless target run for this vital beauty – the calyxes are plump and swollen, and the scissors are practically at the ready!

all_about_420 We're heading into the home stretch, and week 7 has one last absolute highlight in store for the tent. As the last week with nutrient supply, this time we used half the dose of fertilizer before starting the final flush with Flawless Finish next week. The buds are presenting themselves as wonderfully thick, fat specimens that not only visibly gain volume once again but are now really maturing beautifully. The reddish-orange stigmas are increasingly dense, and the resin crystals are covering the compact flower clusters with a thick, glittering veil. With this sight and the fantastic maturation, you can almost smell the upcoming harvest – the perfect transition into the final phase!

all_about_420 A shocking moment at the beginning of the week required immediate action when a small mold spot appeared on one of the massive main buds. The affected area was promptly and generously excised – a tribute to the enormous density and heavy volume of these fat colas. Fortunately, thanks to meticulous multiple daily checks, this remained an isolated incident, and the rest of the buds are absolutely clean and unaffected in the tent. With the use of Flawless Finish, the final flushing process has now been initiated, while a beautiful autumn color gradient is emerging on the fan leaves. The remaining floral splendor is now maturing peacefully to ensure this run crosses the finish line safely and successfully.

all_about_420 The curtain falls for this round, and week 9 delivers the perfect final showdown just before the harvest. The buds have reached their peak: The stigmas are almost completely deep amber and retracted, while the dense trichome coat under the magnifying glass shows exactly the desired image of milky-cloudy heads with a fine, optimal amber ratio. Visually, the rare genetics are now showcasing their full class; in the calyxes and sugar leaves, the characteristic deep purple typical of the Zazul and Braindead lines breaks through, creating a wonderful play of colors in contrast to the autumn-colored fan leaf attire. Together with a penetrating, extremely powerful fuel and fruit aroma, the plant stands completely ripe and flawless – the scissors are sharpened, the drying area is prepared, and the next chapter can begin!
Final Report: Vegetative Phase
The growth phase has impressively shown from day one just how much untamed vitality is packed into this Special Release. Starting in Light-Mix, the plant immediately gained leaf mass rapidly after rooting and displayed amazing resilience. Despite its predominantly Indica background, the cheeky Sativa influence made itself known early on with enormous height and stretch tendencies – a clear hint to take action early. Through bold topping of the main stem and consistent Low-Stress Training (LST) with hooks and strings, the dominant branches were forced horizontal to open up the center and break the apical dominance. The lady took the training in stride as if nothing happened: Within a short time, the shoot tips straightened up again, massively fanned out, and built a uniform, densely branched foundation. With a perfectly homogeneous growth pattern and core-healthy, vital roots in the fabric pot, it was finally time to go under the 12/12 light regime, perfectly prepared and on schedule.
Final Report: Flowering Phase
As soon as the timer switched to 12/12, there was no stopping for her – the Sativa part of the genetics really showed some muscle here! The stretch was massive, catapulting the plant to a solid 1.25 meters, forcing the lamp in the setup to really move up to the ceiling. Despite the impressive height, the internodes remained wonderfully short thanks to the dense groundwork, allowing colossal flower clusters to form along the long branches. After a thorough lollipopping at the beginning of the fourth week, the concentrated power went uncompromisingly into the main colas. The setup also survived a small mold scare on one of the dense main stems thanks to quick, decisive removal and meticulous control. The flowers became rock-hard and heavier week by week, making a support structure essential for relief. With the use of Overdrive in the final stretch and the subsequent flushing with Flawless Finish, the resin and terpene production switched into absolute overkill mode: By the harvest after nine weeks of flowering, the colas presented themselves as massive, snow-white coated boulders with spectacular purple and autumn tones.
Overall Conclusion
Conclusion & Breeder Review: What a grand, exciting, and rewarding run! With the limited Brain Dead X Zazul, Green House Seed Co. in collaboration with the Strain Hunters has delivered a true breeding masterpiece. The genetics combine the best of both worlds: an almost untamed, explosive growth power that requires some guidance and training, paired with a breathtaking flower structure and resin production that is second to none. The buds are brutally dense, rock-hard, and exude a distinctive, extremely potent terpene profile somewhere between gassy-earthy Kush and exotic fruity nuances. For home growers who enjoy active plant management through topping/LST and want to see a real trophy in the tent, this drop is absolute top class. A thoroughly successful run that was simply fun from seedling to cut – highly recommended!

all_about_420 The big finale is here – the scissors have snapped, and the lady is hanging upside down on the line! The last days before the cut were an absolute feast for the eyes: The dense trichome coat has achieved the perfect ratio of milky cloudy heads and a rich, noble amber content, while the scars have completely receded and sunk deep brown into the sea of resin. In the calyxes and fan leaves, the strong purple and autumn spectrum typical of the Zazul and Braindead ancestors has broken through – an almost black, dark purple coloring under a meter-thick layer of sugar. The smell in the room almost took away the senses when cutting; the terpenes unleash such a loud mix of heavy fuel, pine, and sweet-sour fruitiness that you understand why this drop was so coveted. Now the masterpiece can slowly and gently dry out in constant airflow and cool temperatures before it’s time for some fine manicuring!
