Zamaldelica x Kali China Feminized

Hey guys ! A new diary, this time with some very cool genetics from Ace Seeds ! I'm really happy to grow this strain :). So for now the babies are in the bathroom because the grow tent is busy while I'm drying my previous harvest haha... They spent the first week under a cheap (25$) led floodlight but now the COB led is back. Good growth I guess regarding the non-optimal conditions. As usual soil/coco with biotabs goodness. See ya !

Good growth this week especially considering that they are still in the bathroom so the conditions are not the best. I selected an indica and a sativa looking pheno and transferred them to their final containers. Quite the difference between the two. I hope I will be able to transfer them to the grow tent fast !! Cheers

Some good and some bad this week. I topped on day 19 and they seem to recover so far. But they stayed a bit too long in the bathroom I think, they stretched way too much i never had such long internodes. Maybe some overwatering also, they are kinda droopy. Still they are pushing thru so I hope to correct everything in the upcoming weeks now that they are in the grow tent. Sorry for the shitty pictures... Cheers !

Hum well well well... I can't make them happy no matter what... They are growing but kinda slow and are droopy. Some leaves are distorted, clawing, and weird looking. Any Idea ? That was an extended week (9 days) and I'm going to flower them as I can't find what's wrong and we ll see how it goes. I really dont understand I'm doing just as usual, temp/humidity is good, biotabs feed, 1.5/2l water every 3 days... Maybe they are nutrients sensitive ?

Blooming up ! A great first week ! They are looking beautiful and healthy, pushing in all kind of direction but staying very compact, I love their structure. I kind of LST like a mad man, real rope bondage. Gonna do some defoliation soon cause they are too bushy. Two slightly different phenos, more indica/compact large leaves on the top and more sativa on the bottom The both showed sex very fast. Cheers !

A great week ! They are doing very well, flower formation is starting right now with pistils beginning to stack up. I love their structure and look, canopy is pretty even but not perfect ! So far so good ! Did one watering with Orgatrex as recommanded by Biotabs manual but from now on I will only use ActiVera/BioHeaven and some light dose of PK Booster by Biotabs. Happy new year to all :))

Well well well...The tent is filled ! They really push strong and hard in every directions. But they remain short and bushy, just how I like it. I think we might see the end of the stretch and begin the real flowering soon. I did some light defoliation and LST, from now on I think I'll leave them alone and not bother them :) (or really a light LST/defoliation) ! I tried to remove the bud site that were too low or not exposed enough to avoid popcorn. Cheers !

A nice week, nothing special ! For me this is the most boring time when growing hahaha. Bud formation is starting, some trichomes appearing here and there. Light smell coming in, very citrus/lemongrass so far. Action is coming ! Started feeding with Bio Pk. Cheers !

Starting to bud :) ! Week 4 to week 6 in really the weeks that I dislike the most with photoperiod haha, very boring :p ! Nonetheless, trichomes are coming along, almost oily to the touch, smelling is getting up there also and we see some bud really beginning to gain size. Did some late defoliation as they were too bushy and air was not getting around enough for me I feel. The upcoming weeks is going to be the real fun...I hope !

Last week of boring time :p ? I hope so ! Still doing good, starting to stack up, trichomes coming more and more. Smell is changing also, still tropical but with a spicy/leathery thing... Might get very interesting ! I hope they will put weight in the upcoming weeks :)...

I have big spider mite invasion :(... Those damned beasts are here again. Ho well it going to be ok they are almost done now. Buds took some volume but not that much, Kali China is known to be a small yielder and the crop at the bottom looks like the most KC dominant one. The one on the top has bigger colas, very different shape, with some fox tails, more zamal influence I think. Smell is very nice : tropical/mango/leather/sweet. Very refined indeed. Trichomes coverage is excellent. I started flushing :) ! Sorry for the late update, tomorrow will be the end of week 8, I'll post another update. Thanks for following along, Cheers.

Well not a lot to say, buds are ripening, smell is nice :) !! I think I'll give them 10 days more and then it's chop chop time ! Starting to fade pretty good !

Chop chop time ! I ended the grow at day 65, they were really ripe looking by the trichomes. I'd say a good 10% of amber and the rest is mainly milky. Really nice smell, mango/tropical with some hashy undertones, not so much incense so far unfortunately :(... The spider mite invasion got really crazy at the end, hope the end product wont suffer too much about it. Going for a slow dry so I kept both crops as a whole and barely removed any leaves. I'll update after drying, trimming and quick curing !

Nothing more to add, just grow some ! Peace to all who followed and interacted on this diary, cheers.
