She is an absolute beauty, wow wow wow ๐๐๐ A dream in every color. Smell of blueberries, amazing fading and nice dense buds and structure.
UPDATE - 24th of February 2020 - DRY WEIGHT & LOVE (first smoke test after curing will follow)
56g total dry weight, after I gave them a very nice trim. They started curing in glass jars on 19/2/2020 and are currently between 63-68%RH inside. Burping every other hour for couple of minutes.
While trimming some dried buds yesterday, I came across a seed, I couldn't believe it, between ๐and ๐, first time experiencing this, interesting, hopefully she didn't lose a lot of her potency and it only happened late. Learning from this: don't change light cycle. I changed from 18 to 21 hours, thought that was a good idea...
All this aside, I am sooooooo in LOVE WITH HER ๐I have never grown such a beautiful plant, excuse the photo spam, she deserves a stage, at least for me ๐I can't wait to try her properly cured and get to learn her whole taste spectrum with the low and slow dried buds. Some of them will be processed to oil and edibles. If I find time, I might document some more. Until then, happy growing everyone, peace ๐
Best things learned with this one: Go slow on the nutes (#comeback), she reacts well to Amino acids in stem fatness and structure, she will fatten up in the last weeks and can foxtail, foxtails are not bad, check trichomes religiously and chop based on a good average all over the plant. My favorite thing so far: Chop and put in water for 48 hours in darkness. Get flashed - Baaaaaaaaaaaaaam ๐
Flawless Finish seems to have improved the flush and enhanced the fading, beautiful colors. Bud Candy, I imagine it changed the smell, but might not be from it? Will use it again and maybe compare properly next time.

Tried 2 different drying methods:
1. Regular hang dry: For 7 days in small grow tent, darkness at 50% humidity & 20ยฐC/68F - she was almost too dry after 7 days.
2. Low & Slow dry: after washing & hang-drying for 4 hours, she went into the fridge for 7 days in a paper bag, followed by several jar tests until she was at a steady 68% outside; She dried like this in the fridge for 8 days. I didn't trim her too much, since I want to preserve everything for oils.
More details:

Check 420magazine for โLow and Slowโ-Dry. They are lovely.
Happy day to you all
I will have to go on a business trip for 4 days (in 5 days) and Iโm unsure if I should chop before & have them dry (unattended) or if I can wait it out for 4 days. She would be on D84 when I come back.
Thank you :)
it looks early to harvest.Dont worry it won't overmature in 10 days :) Soil can wait,no problem. Since you seem to have at least 2 more weeks, I wouldn't chop at this point. 4 days trip is nothing,it can wait for sure.no worries :)
I dried this plant for 6 days and am currently dry trimming. While trimming I found some seeds ๐ฃ๐ณOver all the buds (and I checked all, believe me ๐) 7 seeds, 1 I squished, they are either white or in their green shell. Why did she herm, what's it mean & what to do with seeds?
It is nothing to worry about. With their end approaching , they can sometimes attempt to keep her Gene's alive with an emergency seeding. When dry trimming, ( good for you. No cuts at all till completely finished drying. Allows her to continue living and converting chlorophyll better. My usual method too. ) she goes into the dark alive and healthy but will respond to the new situation with the knowledge something has gone wrong !!!. Her odd seed is this response usually. Nothing to worry about at all. nice job
Daaaaaaamn those are some fat buds. Fantastic! Fat and colorful with a nice bit of frost. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie.
@starke, they are a fantastic strain but unfortunately my recent one is dealing with some serious issues. My fault I believe though not the lovely genetics.
@starke, I have one single seed of the Hindu Kush left. But I will not grow her in the foreseeable future. When the current grow is done, I will take a break. I have enough medicine for at least a whole year ๐
@Buddha2, yessssss, so pleased with this grow, the potential this plant has, I can only imagine what someone really experienced could do to her. Looking forward to smoking the first bud ๐Have a good day, and I loved your Hindu Kush Grow btw, do you still have some of her left?
