Climbing mount O.G. Kush

In week 8 of flowering since pistils showing - the last ripening stage - and harvest time 😎 Completed the Ripen stage of the feed schedule (details in the Nutrients section), and did a flush 4 days prior to planned harvest - followed by plain watering events until the extended darkness period. No pH adjustments when given plain water. My flushing strategy is simply to shock the plant with a big EC drop in the root zone - with the hope of more cannabinoids and terpine production. Pistils in the canopy were nice and amber, and trichomes were mostly all cloudy with a few (10%) amber ones. Checked trichomes on various canopy buds with a 16x magnifier on a daily basis to plan when to harvest. The light light was turned off on day 56 of flowering (from first pistils) for an extended 36hr of darkness prior to harvesting - again this is a strategy to shock the plant. Harvested the whole plant in one go due to time pressures, my preference would have been allowing another 1-2 weeks for the lower buds to ripen properly. Wet trimmed just the fan leaves to allow for a slower dry over a week. Humidity levels have dropped dramatically last few days and these conditions will last another week quite possibly. It was lots of trimming work with nice citrus scents throughout the area - nice dense buds to manicure. The branches were beautifully stacked with buds and cutting them above the net pretty much looked after the whole plant- not much larf or popcorn buds below the net though the lower buds needed another week. Manicuring of the buds will start after a few days of drying ensuring moisture is retained in the buds for a slower dry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes ; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 (gives me great control over the environment) - ventilation fans - aquarium heater for nutrients solution (for winter use only) - small oil heater (for winter use only) - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots (as final pots) and 3.5L general plastic pots (for seedling stage) - Canna Coco substrate mixed with 40% perlite - GHE Flora Trio as base nutrients and various additives - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy, the other at the roots level - these allow for external monitoring and recording) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some strain info from Royal Queen Seeds ; An amazing mix of genetics background - Its true genetics are unknown. Some say OG Kush is a mix of ChemDawg with a Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say that it’s just a special cutting of ChemDawg from the early 90s. The most obvious trait of OG Kush is its strong, unique, very dank, slightly citrus aroma, almost like fuel or strong detergent. The flavour of OG Kush is equally as strong and dank, with a long-lasting aftertaste. OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with most experienced smokers listing it as one of their favourites. The effect is as strong physically as it is mentally. Though its effect is like an Sativa, the strain's genetics are mostly Indica. The effect is as strong and complex as the flavour. OG Kush takes around 8 weeks to flower and on average the yield is 500 grams per plant.
