This is the first time we complete a Grow Diary and the reason we choose OG Kush is because they really are very easy plants to grow. We have a fantastic phenotype mother that provides shorter and bushier plants, very convenient for our tiny 60x60cm tents, and making clones this time was really easy. We started with 25 clones in the bubbler and 65% rooted and from them 88% survived the transplant. We picked the best looking 6 and transplanted them onto 24 liter fabric pots and flipped to 12/12 the same day. They stretched for about two or tree weeks and started flowering. Around week #3 of flowering we tied them down to the pots, to help spreading a little bit. The only issue this time was they were really short and bushy, so watering was a pain. As we had 6 plants, this time we harvested them in batches in different weeks, allowing the plants to be outside in the sun while enjoying the very cold (almost freezing) winter, this helped a lot with the already very purple/black colours on the buds and sugar leaves. Buds from the earlier tree weeks wake you up and are very motivating and uplifting, buds from the last weeks have a distinct smell, not so piney but more pungent, and it's amazing to get to sleep. Tested with dried and cured buds from previous weeks, on joints, glass pipe, and both the Arizer SOLO and Arizer GO. Amazing white smoke, strong, pure flavour, still kind of harsh because needs more curing but they really make your mouth wet while rolling another spliff :) Also recovered 80 grams of pure frosted sugar leaf and made 200gr of a very strong cannabutter, huge effect but very insomnia inducing, not what I wanted this time, will save it for "party cookies" instead of "sleep cookies".

We used Top Crop products during the complete grow cycle, and we're really happy with the results. As always, we try to go with more diluted feed schedules, we have very little rundown every time, and we recycle and keep our "perpetual" soil happy and healthy, so we try to avoid flushing or wasting nutrients. We used Deep Underground during the initial weeks after transplanting, and Top Veg during the first weeks of vegging (but remember we were already on 12/12). Then switched to Bloom after showing the first flowers, and a mixture of Bloom + Candy and then just Candy at the end. The reason we keep trusting Top Crop products is how good our plants look compared with other products, and the amazing smell and trichome they help to produce.
Reviews. Lamp
Excellent yields as every time, if we had the budget we would definitely get another 600w to replace the 450w and then move that 450w to another Mother/Clone room.

We have just three strains that are "perpetual" on our grow setup, and while we have tested a huge amount of them, we always keep a Dinafem OG Kush mother because we're sure the clones are going to root really fast, they're going to endure the transplant with no issues, and will produce packed, short, really bushy plants that will be full of huge, fist sized buds, frosty looking packed with sticky trichomes. Just a breeze-like touch on the buds will make them smell a lot like pine and citrus, and as they get older and more mature the smell will get pungent, earthy and cheesy, totally changing the smoke experience and flavours. The "Goods" of the grow and what we did like it most and try to at least repeat next time: 1) Got a lot better with focus stacking in Photoshop, and got a better workflow to make sure the best macro pictures are taken from a huge amount of shots, maximizing the quality of the cropped details. This takes a lot of processing time but patience is key during all the process so the more patient the better, always. 2) Managed to test the OG Kush strain during the last 6 weeks of flowering, by harvesting a plant per week from week #8 to #13. We documented and pictured each week so in the future we will better adjust the grow cycles depending on the desired effects. Also we managed to collect enough data to compare equal grows during different seasons, concluding this grow took a lot longer than the summer one, the plants were a lot darker, and the effects and overall results are better at lower temperatures. The "Bads" of the grow and where to get better for the next time: 1) We still have issues with red spider mites, this time we didn't mist the buds with neem+potasic soap because the past grow we had some bud rot and mold, and really the spiders don't do much damage besides ruining the pictures. We will double down on using diatomaceus earth and brushing them down, plus hoping the cold weather keeps them controlled. 2) We didn't respect our own "protocols" when moving some plants inside after transplanting this time (no bug checking or bug spraying), just to get some silly pictures of some lady bugs, and in the process there was a black aphid infestment late during flowering, luckily it affected just 1/6 plants and a tiny portion of regular leaves, so not bud touched. 3) The girls didn't stretch as much as the previous grow, so it was a pain to water. We took care of this on the current Royal Cookies diary by letting them grow straighter for longer time, and doing some bottom defoliation. Hope you liked this grow, and stay for the next ones, as always, if you like or dislike something, and you make us know, we will do our best to get better, and we're also always available to help, just send us your questions and we will do the best to help. First completed diary, for many more! :) :) :) Happy smokes! DrJynx86

What is your prefered amber percent for harvesting OG Kush and similar strains? What do you think? One or two weeks more seems right.

Hello Ooooo wheee those are some good photos thank you for that. I personally like mine to be about 20% amber, but I usually go off the vibe from each individual plant, some I've harvested with less amber and some with more. But I don't like to get anxious weed so i usually wait till i at least don't see much glassy ones...dominantly milky and then evaluate the amber. Yours looks like it has passed the 20% marker...if it was my plant, I'd be doing a mild flush and cutting her down here very soon....within the next week. Happy harvesting. โœŒ๏ธ

@HazeyBobby, thank you! I will be chopping in a day or two, and will be uploading the last quality shots for this grow, and then moving on to a Royal Cookies grow, in case you want to keep track of good quality pictures, I hope I can show good quality plants too! Happy smokes!

Day #80 Update: Getting so ready to chopping time! There is not much progress at this stage, but they are still happy and drinking lots of water, even with the cold days and nights here, so calmly waiting to see those 20% amber, hopefully I can upload some nice pictures with some progress in the percent. One of the girls was moved to the backyard, to help up with the cold nights and days, as outdoors we're reaching freezing temperatures at night, giving the plants an even prettier blackish/purplish hue. If you like the pictures keep an eye as I will be updating very soon. Happy smokes!

Day #54 Update: Getting ready to wrap up Flowering Week #8, had some really cold days, and some nicer ones, and overall colder nights. Girls looking amazing, drinking a lot lately, which is a good thing with this low temps. Buds getting definitely fatter, and trichomes are bursting huge, but no clear yet I think, will be uploading some macro pics later this evening after doing some clear/amber checks :) Hope you like the updates, will be posting soon!

Day #48 Update: Buds are Sticky as hell, and the tops are really hard at touch. Couldn't help myself but sampled a tiny bud of the buds that are "spilling out" each tent, microwave dried (lol) and they're hitting very hard and nowhere near peak for sure. Will be checking trichs later this day, keep reading about focus stacking so I'll try a different technique today.

Day #45 Update: love them getting fatter, trichs looking lovely at plain sight, I will take some pictures and upload the new week in no time. They really liked the watering this week, we got almost a full week of really nice temps and now we're back to winter temps again, but will help a lot to get the style down for this grow, this should be a winter harvest, and frosty buds is the way to go. Still some weeks to go, last harvest from this same strain/mother were chopped at 68 days and I'm sure they were really early that time. I'm shooting at 70+ days for this harvest, hoping to get >25% amber trichomes as last time I'm sure it was less than 5%. As I have 6 plants this time this might be a good time to harvest with 1 week between plant and document the effect differences as I'm on a place without proper lab testing which is a shame.

Day #36 Update: Loving how they look, a little slower (tiny bit) just because fall temps vs summer temps, but no pesky bugs around and a lot more trichs because of the cold, win-win!

I'm preparing for this evening update, marking the day #28 of this grow diary. This week I had to do the biggest fertilizer ever I can remember, 28 liter (7.4 gallon) to feed this 6 precious girls and other 12 OG Kush clones and the OG #3 Mom that are growing on my backyard. Mom is huge as it's +1 year old, and the clones started flowering two-tree weeks later than the girls on this diary, and temperatures are getting really low so they're going to do it slow and provide a really nice winter harvest close to august I think. I'm feeding less than instructions as I'm constantly recycling and composting my own live soil, and try to keep that low. I did 30ml Top Bloom + 30 ml top Candy on 28 water liters, so 2.14 ml/l, close to 50% labeled/recommended potency of 2ml liter each. I also added 1 liter of concentrated Banana Tea and other Veggies Peels. Will be taking pictures and posting this evening, Love Ya!

Finishing to tie the girls on tent #2 (650w - purple hue on pictures), will take a full set of pics when done, and again tomorrow to update with day #21 end of week pictures. Comparing to the previous grow, same days, they're shorter but a lot bushier. Too bad I'm not keeping track of main stem caliper, but that's something I will start doing for this grow, at least measured on harvest date :)
