Kukulkan

New paragraph on the "feathered serpent" and a very interesting grow where there was a need to make adaptations on the fly, resulting in a very promising final outcome, not only in terms of the quantity obtained but also in the organoleptic characteristics of the phenotype that this Kukulkan seed from Pyramid had in store for us. The first serious handicap of the grow, the temperatures of the last three weeks of full bloom. Despite being indoors and protecting as best as I could from the external influence of the temperatures we have had in the south of Portugal, it was unavoidable to have temperatures of 30ºC during light periods, and despite having up to three fans running at full speed, there were moments in the cabinet with "crazy" temperatures, and we were saved by being able to maintain a relative humidity of around 55/60%, thus avoiding the dryness of the buds. Despite (and you will see it) that in the last weeks the sugar leaves dried at the tips, yesterday during the harvest and without wearing gloves, my fingers were coated in resin and the terpenes and the "honey" stuck to the buds, anticipate a very good quality of smoke. The aroma changed in the last month, from a scent reminiscent of garlic (to define it precisely, this strain has a smell of a fruit that perhaps many have not been able to smell, which is the famous Indian "jackfruit", so something between garlic/onion, pineapple, and passion fruit (i.e., a very particular aroma that piques my curiosity to guess what the curing weeks will bring. The structure of the plant, which you can see in detail in the weekly diary photos, had very particular characteristics, such as a multiplication of branches and these branches being very flexible. Another characteristic is the very small size of the leaves, even the "fan" leaves, which I have defoliated as the weeks went by. Apparently, the Kukulkan I got was a very remarkable hybrid, according to the characteristics that were encouraged. The wide number of very flexible branches revealed a lot of Sativa traits (as well as the very small primary leaves), but then the round structure of the buds and their repetition in short internodes and a grow height that did not exceed 80 CMS and the 15 weeks from seed to harvest, showing us the Indica side of the hybrid and the spear shape of the bud tips on the branches, which ultimately showcased a beautiful grow. Negative aspects of the grow...the nutrients from Mills. I will not use them again for very clear reasons, such as the discrepancy in nitrogen rates in the compounds for flowering. It was not very clear to me how the Basis A and B performed in terms of vegetative growth. The Mills line is very sensitive to the necessary EC variations, especially in places like southern Portugal/Spain where the water is extremely hard (with EC at 0.8 and above) and abundantly why the Mills line regarding PH accuracy does not work with PH reducers based on phosphoric acid. If you are going to use a PH reducer for Mills, it is better to do it with something similar to Plagron's Lemon Kick (a base of nitric/citric acid) and with that, be careful, the conductivity will tend to rise and if in a bio-mineral nutrient line like Mills, you have to be very careful with the use of soil boosters like C4 or silicon contribution compounds, which in Mills are very good, but very sensitive to conductivity variations. In the end, we saved both the hardness and the terpenes in the buds of our grow, thanks to two incredible finishing elements from the Spanish Cannaboom, such as More Grams (which hardens the buds in a couple of weeks, as hard as rocks) and the Terpenum base, which preserves the aromas in the buds very prominently. New paragraph... I thought about starting a new season until the beginning of August, but with the new plans I have scheduled ahead, I decided to wait until September to begin the new growth philosophy. I bought a passive hydroponics system, the Quadgrow from Nutriculture (a 20-liter tank set where the water and nutrient mixes will be prepared, flowing out of this through an ATU module - a level set that is inside a board where the water drains and on this board, four 11-liter tanks with a simple hole where a Smart Mat strip fits, which absorbs the water and disperses it over the growth medium, which will be fine Coco peat from Ugro (with trichoderma) mixed with 10% clay pebbles (expanded clay balls) and another 10% perlite, for root system aeration. As I have read about preparing to work with this simplified form of hydroponics, it indicates that the system water should always be between 20 and 25ºC and given the environment of my grow room, in summer there will be problems maintaining these temperatures and with higher temperatures impacting the system's EC, it will be better to wait until the end of summer to achieve the best conditions and because we will prepare for a season with four simultaneous grows and with which we will have to work to ensure everything goes perfectly. In the meantime, I have already purchased the Canna Coco set (with base A and B); the indispensable Cannazym; the Rhizotonic to establish a perfect root system and to top it off both the Canna Boost and the Canna PK 13/14, already having the flowering scheduled. For the end and for those who might read me and because I am still making decisions for the season, if you feel like it, you can leave me your advice on whether I should do a grow of four Fast strains or if you think that four feminized photoperiod strains in your opinion will be more attractive. What do you think?!? God Jah as always giving us strength, protection, and wisdom to gain knowledge and thus make good decisions. In the meantime, Green greets the grower brothers and I hope that the summer smoke from our "feathered serpent" keeps our old friends happy... as I always say, there is no business here, profits, and the pretense of making the cultivation of the most beautiful plant in the universe, a greater way of life, than just having fun, smiling, relaxing, and learning from another strain, if it will be worth it for the future, plant it because it brings us joy... for me and mine, good weed is to keep us together to have a blast.

those seeds were free gifts from zamnesia and turned out to be the best cultivar i have grown yet the nuggets are dense and super hard, they pass the ding test no problem the fragrance is amazing, i never ferment my weed and it still turned out soooo sweet and fruity it tastes exactly like it smells =)

Buds full of trichomes and hard, a very resilient plant, very compact size, good flavor, suitable for enjoying a good day with music, incredible experience.
