I ran into some rookie mistakes early on, in fear of overwatering and causing damping off, I opted for a watering schedule that was too light and the roots didn't establish well until later in veg when I had repotted. The image attached is just after the transplant.

Until this point I had been giving only water, but then started to feed some kelp every second watering. She was definitely doing better at this point and starting to get ahead of a lot of the others.

I repotted into 10L fabric pot at the end of week 6, and also topped her. She recovered well from the topping and enjoyed the root space she got from the replant. The size isn't great for the veg time, due to the initial 3 weeks. But I decided to flip at this point.

She stretched well in early flower and began putting on pistils very quickly, she was already pre-flowering before the flip. I began running some bloom nutrients during this week.

Some really strong terps coming off of her in week 4 of flower. Good trichome coverage starting, she's a thristy girl for sure.

Lots of trichomes forming on the sugar leaves and even some on the fan leaves. She started showing signs of an early flowering pheno.

She reeks of old orange peels left out in the sun. Sweet citrus terps mix with a classic gassy funk. Definitely my most caked out plant in this run, followed closely by Ethos's Mandarin Cookies. She's started to fade quickly now, revealing maroon tones to both the upper fan leaves and the sugar leaves. She's definitely racing to finish, I expect another 2 weeks and then harvest. Looking like a 55 day pheno.

Her fade continued to impress, really standing out in the tent. Bud started to swell at this point with calyxes bulging on the bud.

Orange Kush Cake grew extremely well, it had a moderate to high stretch when in flower, and was extremely forgiving on over-feeding that some others in the tent didn't enjoy. She faded with beautiful colouration and her trichome development was excellent. The terps were rich throughout mid and late flowering, with an initial rotten oranges scent which changed a bit in the dry to an artificial grape flavour. Buds grew dense and heavy and she finished in 63 days.

Orange Kush Cake is a heavy indica dominant. Definitely not a 100% sativa. Most folks get a heavy couch lock type of high. They say it's perfect for a night time smoke. I'm actually growing it right now on week 6 of flower! If that's actually your photos then props to you! But I'm pretty sure I've seen that photo before.
the end.
