This diary is mainly focusing on Quantum Kush, but there's also two Girl Scout Cookies phenos from Lineage Genetics seeds, rear and right, but those were not impressive yielders with my previous light (better with this light), although very enjoyable to consume.
Looking quite healthy after switching from previous 250W Cree 5 x COB setup.
Quantum Kush is very hungry/thirsty and seems happy with full strength nutrient quantities.
Humidity is hard control in this location, with two dehumidifiers running it stays around 75 - 80 during colder months, not ideal during flowering.
I can usually get four pots in here, but I had to put two Quantum Kush into one pot. Those two were very lanky and sparse during veg and didn't look nice at all, so thinking they might be males I put them both in the same pot for easy removal - these turned out to be female. I put a third Quantum Kush plant into its own pot, as it was very bushy and short compared to the other two. That one turned out to be male, so it had to be removed, hence the gaps in the corners of the scrog. Ideally, the whole screen should be filled with the plant's canopy, but once triggered to 12/12 light it's usually not wise to continue LST.
Pay particular attention during flowering with the males. I was seeing stigmas on the females after two days, but the early flowers forming near the top of the male plant were too small to accurately determine its gender. It was several days after the female flowers had already appeared before I noticed a solitary male flower on the lower branches beneath the canopy that had already released pollen, so I may have a few seeds.
This is an amazing strain. I am pleased to see it’s available again as it was clone only back in the day w/ TGA. I am more familiar with pheno #2. Good luck and keep up the great work.
Cheers
@Sybarite, it’s killer stuff. My understanding is Odie was SubCools lead Breeder for TGA when the original work on QK began. Either way, thanks to Odie. As mentioned I have not run it before but have seen lab tests above 30% THC multiple times. Big fan of the sweet Irish kush lineage. Cheers
@HighAltitudeOrganics, thanks man, these were from seeds from Homegrown Natural Wonders. I understand the strain was developed by Odie Diesel and initially sold via the TGA brand before they parted ways. I haven't tried this strain yet, looking forward to vaping it.
Lovely canopy. Happy and healthy ladies. Fantastic work my friend. Keep it up and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the way with this grow and all future endeavors as well
@Sybarite, great choice with QB. Cant go wrong. Built an led with same diodes as the QB V1s and my ladies definetly noticed the difference. Great choice and ladies are showing it
@Denzul, thanks for the comment and the same to you. Love my quantum boards so far. Looks like you have a fair few decent grows, so will check them out later.
Some beautiful buds in those ladies. Fantastic work my friend. Keep it up and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the way with this grow and all future endeavors as well
@Blueboy2019, thanks mate, it's an Invisible Sun ISH530 Type R (version 1). I think they are hard to beat for the money. There's now a version 2 with extra blue (450nm).
