I lost all my pictures of my candy kush harvest but the bud was pretty uninspiring, not much for terps or smell and just makes me sleepy so been using it when I get home from my 12 hour shifts at 7am so I can get to sleep quick as possible, will be the last plants EVER from royal queen seeds ,defended them for the last year but since growing real breeders seeds I see that rqs is most definitely a white label seed company that sells us all fake genetics that are not what they say they are,I gave them every chance but when I grow 5 different strains and they all end up looking,smelling and tasting exactly the same theres something fishy going on ,sucks too because now I don't want to give those strains a chance because rqs's version left such a bad taste in my mouth(literally and figuratively)

Well day 64 here I believe shes ready in my opinion. A little early but I switched her to 24 hour lighting a week ago and had her out in the sun the last 3 days. Today she basks in the sun in all of beauty and wonderful aroma. This strain is without a doubt the most gorgeous to me and the smell is outstanding! Check back next week for a flavor report and my review of the strain! She should dry for me well in a week sadly a severe drought here so I'll be keeping it hanging whole. Check back next week to see how she tastes & her mesmerizing array of affects! Remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

The third week started with repotting. I'm using the 14 liter (3.7 gallons) Airmaxx airpots again. The second coblamp was turned on and both lights were dimmed to a total of 132 watt at 48 cm(18.9 inches) from the plants on the first day of the week, giving a DLI of 23. 4 days later the power was raised to 140 watt and the distance was lowered to 45 cm(17.7 inches), giving a DLI of 26.5 and it stayed that way for the rest of the week. The lowest 1 finger leaves and the lowest shoots were removed on day 20. Next week I'm going to top them. Day 15, day of repotting, I gave them 200 ml of ph adjusted tapwater with Plagron Power Roots (ec 0.5 – ph 6.1) each. The next 2 days were dry. Day 18 I gave them 300 ml of ph adjusted tapwater with Plagron nutrients (amounts see above) each. The next 2 days were dry again. On the last day of the week I gave them 400 ml of the same solution they received on day 18. Twice this week I gave them a shower with CannaCure. I added 40 ml to 200 ml tapwater (ph 6) to make the spray solution. Temperatures fluctuated between 21.5 – 26.3 °C (70.7 – 79.3 °F) and humidity between 41 – 84 % That's about it for this week. To be continued... ✌️ ❤️ 😮‍💨 Do you want to grow this strain? 👉 https://www.barneysfarm.us/pineapple-chunk-weed-strain-15 👈

This week has been stressful for me. I discovered 3 types of bug invaders.. I had some fungus gnats some spider mites and also some thrips... Bastards! I have deployed predators to deal with the canopy in the form of Amblyseius cucumeris and Amblyseius swirskii. I also deployed a platoon of lacewing larvae. For the fungus gnats I used nematodes watered into the root system. I now need to keep an eye for any further signs. I lost a lot of leaf to the pests I hope I did not take to much but anything I chopped was eaten and dead already. She needed a trim anyway and I did discover a load of bud sites that were covered up. I plan to strip the flower room out after this grow and do a deep clean and reseal everything. This will also be the last grow using biobizz range as I do. I was told before that I don't need to use all their product line and I feel I know what I like and need now. Thanks for looking apart from the bug issues I'm very happy with her. She's huge and is all bud...😍 Take care😷😷 Happy growing🌿🌱🌿

Buenas amigos, empezamos metiendo la semilla en un bote de cristal y poniendolo a oscuras uno o dos días. Cuando he visto que la semilla se ha abiertol he pasado al kit easy star de rqs el cual viene preparado y trae bacto para el primer riego, y lo he colocado debajo de una lampara. Una vez le ha salido un poco el tallo lo pasé a una soporte con un poco mayor de capacidad y vuelta a la lámpara unas 18-20 horas al dia. Importante desde que echo el bacto hasta el final del proceso no riego, humedezco desde lejos con un Spray lleno de agua, repito solo humedezco para así evitar hongos. Feliz semana

Hello. After I took the video I flushed the plants and had back flow into the 15 gallon barrel. Measured the ph and it was 6.2 Good enough. Just checked my calendar where I've written my info for years, (grow diaries is new to me) I saw this is almost the end of week 7 for me (Thursday was the first 12/12 and then I count from there) With the tents help I started flowering on May 28. I'll start my flush (with 1 ounce of Hydrogen Peroxide to 5 gallons of water) after 8 weeks and harvest after 2 weeks of flush. I'll give it some dark days only if it's wet and rainy, a black tent in a greenhouse gets too hot. I've found some more powdery mildew this week. I 've bought a product called White Wash. It's frequency changed water. Knocks it right out. We need some hot days here to kill the spores. In the video you'll see the plants (girls) that have volunteered to have sex with the male Dr Atomic Northern Lights I have under my lights, 20/4 that i start my vegetables under in the early spring. The girls and the male will be put in my smaller greenhouse around August 1 and will be put back in this greenhouse to finish to seeds. I'll keep you informed. Talk to ya later. Chuck.

So I had some internet issues so I couldn't upload. But now everything is alright. This last week I only gave her water 2 times. first time I gave her 500 ml water and the second time only 250 ml water only. And I took more fan leafs off her as you can see I only had to hang her up without trimming or anything. After she is dried I am going to weigh her and see how much I got. ***************************************************************************************************** As for grow report : Blue kush is really easy to grow just make sure the temps optimal. The buds grow really dense thats 1 of the parts I like about this strain. She takes normal feeding. Very strong genetics. And she can take a few mistakes so this strain is perfect for beginners and in medium or expert hands she can get really nice with the colors and smell and taste. Next week i will post the weight and the dried product.

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.

The organic girl got transplanted in 7l pot with all-mix biobizz soil at the beginning of the week. The first watering after that was a week later. The EC of the run-off was on 2.53 as you can see in the picture, so I flushed it with ph(6.5) water mixed with the nuts I mention above(EC 0.32). I flushed until the EC got down to 1.3. I don't want it to get burned again cuz of the high EC in the soil. As of today, day 29, the newly adolescent plant is looking perky again. As far as I can read on the Biobizz bottles, all the nuts have a very acidic ph. That makes sense considering that they are organic and they need to have a long shelf life. No bacteria or fungus will go in such an acidic medium. Therefore I find it essential to increase the ph of the water after adding the nuts. Another thing I noticed is that they now released a CalMag product(finally), which they recommend using especially when using RO water.

Week 5 Report: White OG – Thriving After Topping! 🌟 Another week, another chapter in the White OG’s journey—and what a resilient beauty she’s turning out to be! Following last week’s topping, she’s bounced back like a champ, showing us just how strong she is. While the temperatures dipped a little this week, she’s staying steady and pushing through like a true survivor. 🌱✨ Growth Update: Recovery in Full Swing After being topped at node 7 last week, she’s been focusing all her energy on lateral growth, with new shoots emerging beautifully. Her structure is looking strong and balanced, with all signs pointing to a bushier, more productive plant in the weeks ahead. While the room’s been a little chilly, with temperatures around 18°C and RH at 60%, she’s adapting well. These slightly cooler conditions are giving her an opportunity to build resilience while still maintaining steady progress. Nutrients: All-in-One Pellets Taking Charge This week marks a small but important change in her feeding routine: I’ve paused the use of All-in-One Liquid, as the Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets are now fully kicking in. Why Stop the Liquid Feed? The slow-release pellets are designed to provide consistent nutrition over time, reducing the need for additional liquid feeds. They’re packed with everything she needs to thrive during this vegetative stage. Of course, if I notice she’s asking for a little extra love, I’ll bring the liquid feed back into the rotation. Room Conditions: Staying Steady Even with a slight dip in temperature, the room remains an ideal environment for her vegetative stage: • Temperature: Around 18°C—on the cooler side, but manageable. • Humidity: A stable 60% RH keeps her comfortable and prevents unnecessary stress. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED continues at 200 PPFD, delivering steady, compact growth with no signs of stretching or stress. These conditions ensure she’s getting the balance she needs to continue recovering and thriving. Looking Ahead: Strength and Structure As we move into Week 6, I’ll be keeping a close eye on her continued recovery and lateral growth. Her bushy structure is already forming beautifully, and I’m excited to see how she uses her energy to fill out and prepare for future training and flowering stages. Shoutouts and Gratitude 💚 A huge thank you to the incredible sponsors and tools that make this journey possible: • Seedsman Seeds for the fantastic genetics—don’t forget to use the DOGDOCTOR 10% off discount code! • Aptus Holland for their unparalleled nutrient solutions. • Pro-Mix Soil for the perfect foundation with their HP Mycorrhizae + Bacillus blend. • TrolMaster for keeping the environment perfectly dialed. • Future of Grow LED for lighting the way. • Cannakan, where it all began. And, of course, to all the followers, supporters, lovers, and even the haters—you’re all part of this journey!

This week about day 46 or so I did a heavy defoliation and some branch bending/LST to get more light to the newly forming bud sites as well as to even out the canopy a little more. She is requesting a little more frequent watering about every 2-3 days and I go until I see run off and I let the run off sit for about 8-12 hrs to allow the medium to absorb as much as it wants then dump off the remaining. I am starting to notice a slight smell now that the flowing has started it’s very earthy and kind of like fresh grass. After adding the Dr earth last week I have not seen any more yellowing of my leaves which is a huge relief. At this point I’m going to be as hands off as I can some simple fan leaf tucking and maybe some branch bending to keep the smaller bud sites open to light as they seem to be swallowed up after a day or two and the fan leaves raise back up. I would like to find Dr earth bloom to add as a top dress either this week or next if I can find it just to give it a little more of a boost. I’m trying to keep this grow as organic as possible and probably will continue to be my niche for every grow going forward until I have it perfectly dialed in. I’m not seeing much more of a stretch and assume this plant will be a little stalky girl I’m hoping the main colas fill out decently and I’m hoping by the next grow I have a better light set up that may help my production of bud sites when she flips to flower. I also plan to start a more detailed journal at home that specifies what days into the grow I do what for better accuracy and to improve future grows. I just hope I get at least some harvest on my first try! Happy growing thanks for stopping by!

We have a heat wave here at the moment and the girls are suffering. I´ve upped the silicone dose to 1.5 ml/l to help cope with the heat. Otherwise the buds start to look amazing already and they smell really refreshing.

start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light. a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ? weird. it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing. the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.
