Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos

Still waiting for the all milky tricomes

I looked at the trichomes every 2 days this week. There are still some clear ones but they look cloudy overall. The OG Kush begins to have many amber ones. I started to flush too soon and the plants are now struggling a bit. I will harvest everything next week! The final grow area is around 1,1m x 1,1m.

I fed the plant with Bio PK for the last time this week. From now on I will just water the plant without adding any nutrients. The buds are starting to swell up and they are getting more frost. The aroma is getting more intense from day to day.

Day 47 - I topped, defoliated and flushed with plain ph’d water 10 days before switch to 12/12 These led lights keep the plants really short with a lot of middle bushy growth have already taken 2 bags full of leaves and all look healthy still🤞👍 Day 48 - Looking good day after topping and defoliation :) good sign will update end of week 8 flip to 12/12

Overall this plant was great to grow, she just grew and was happy doing it the entire time, pretty good yield off a plant that was only about 12inches tall. Seemed to be a lot more resistant to deficiencies then the other two strains this grow. Definitely a great mid-day Smoke!

Evening fellow growers. Hope all is well and you’re all doing great! ⚠️I’m down to one 😞😞😞😞 the other lady is now chilling in the garden. I was running out of space and no matter what I did I couldn’t get her back. I will add more pics but it’s just too cold in the garage to have them out. This has got to be one of the hardest grows i have done. I always knew starting this early in the year was going to be hard and it’s proving that way. And again a massive shout to James and the team at RQS for supporting me and supplying me with the seeds. 🙌 Here we are week 6 the start of the second week of flower. This lady is moving along alright (I think) although the cold weather is back and has not been to kind over the last couple days. She is still stretching out which is good, some sativa characteristics coming through. Just signs of cold which isn’t the best. The bud sites are forming slowly and the structure of these plants looks good. Let’s see what this week brings. ✌️ Day 37, Watered tonight with 500mil she is doing ok. Added some nutrients in today as she has only been on plain water and looking a little faded. I’ll try get some pics later but it’s too cold to be in the tent any longer than I need to be. ✌️ Day 38, warmer today and this girl is finally starting to love life. Nothing done today just a few photos and a little video. ✌️ Day 39, watered with 500mil and a bit of feed. Took a few leafs off too. ✌️

Le hice un pinzamiento en la punta unos días después de haberle echo poda fim y sin querer pode uno de los 2 nuevos brotes que salen al hacer poda fim fue sin querer al hacer el pinzamiento pero no pasa nada señores vamos a ver como sigue creciendo esta bicha. Las ramas de abajo estan creciendo que es lo que quería va como lo tenía planeado a tenido algún problema lo he notado x las hojas pero lo va superando muy bien aquí tiene 25dias de vida. Es toda una bestia nunca había puesto Indoor y nunca había puesto kritical Bilbo es mi primera vez de indoor de seguimiento y de todo siempre he plantado en guerrilla o balcón. No mido ph ni ec ni nada esta a 18 horas de luz 6 de oscuridad la pasaré a florecer en unos días cuando note que se ha recuperado del todo y las ramas de abajo crezcan un poco más para poder atarla y abrir bien la base de la planta es lo que hago con todas mis plantas, recordár que cuando era pequeñita le pode el primer nudo y luego el segundo. Tiene 25 días actualmente creo que cuando haga 30 la pasaré a horario de floración

🌸✨ Hey friends, exciting news! 🌟🍀 We’ve hit Week 11 of the flowering stage, and our girls are absolutely thriving! 🌿💎 Their growth is on track, and everything is going just as we planned. With the 12/12 light cycle ☀️🌙 in full swing and regular doses of flowering nutrients 🌸💧, they’re transforming beautifully. The buds are starting to take shape 🌟🌸, and the plants are bursting with energy and potential. It’s amazing to see their progress, and we’re thrilled to share this journey with you! 🚀🍃 Stay tuned—things are getting exciting, and the bloom of a lifetime is just around the corner! 💚👊✨

The buds are still growing and I have already discovered the first amber-coloured trichomes on Bruce Banner and S.A.D. #4. I think the harvest will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Until then, I will continue to observe the trichomes with the microscope.

It's all about the bacteria! Took the EM1, fish shit, kefir, worm castings, soil activator, ground malted barley, fine ground egg shells (uncooked), fine ground shrimp shells (uncooked) and molasses and brewed it out as a tea for 36 hours until it was bubbling. This one I'm calling the Ultimate microbe bomb. I applied this to the ladies after I moved them to the flowering tent and boy have they exploded in Growth of just over 2" in one Gas Lantern Day. Will flop them to flower at some point in the coming days. after I get them to grow a bit taller.

Day 30 Growth: So the ladies have been developing bud sights all over. As expected they didnt get big allowing 5 plants in the tent. Training: So the girls got tied down before stretch and all branches caught up like i wanted. They also had a mild defoliation yesterday to increase light penetration

Great growth. Much more compact than the other one (10 inches shorter). Bud formation looks good.

Well, what we feared, became a reality, one of the regular XTrakush plants is a male. This is why I planted two and I'm happy it seems to be only the one. But with the canopy going nice and full it hurt to get it out. Of course, I hoped to have two females but nature went its course. Considered leaving it in, to pollinate the others, or keeping it somewhere, but I do not have the space or light for it. Thus with pain in my gut, I went about getting her out. I notice a nice developed root system, very healthy, which was very hard to get loose. After shaking the soil off I have a rootball the same size as after my whole grow last time. I could lift the whole 57 ltr bag by lifting the plant. Sturdy stem, thick solid branches. This is what I was aiming for and it works. The soil again is proving itself to be a winner. The light this low gives some higher temps as expected, but manageable within ranges. The SP-3000 is performing really well and I cant wait to see the bud development coming weeks. I'm sure it will deliver a great amount of bigger buds looking at all the flower sites and the thick branches that support them. Remember to check in on www.mars-hydro.com, they have awesome deals now for Black Friday! I'm giving more water now, once in two days instead of three. They seem to need it with the higher temps. The plants seem to take the light well on only 45 cm. I've started adding the BAC Organic Bloom Nutrition. It is designed to work with the microorganisms I added with the micro life. With this I do a little bit of Calmag, but not so much, since I don't see any evidence of shortages, again proving my soil is dialed in for growing under LED perfectly. All in all, even with a minor setback, all is ready to pull in a mega harvest. Thanks for checking in again!! Hug Bud & Sunshine.

Flower Week 6 – Ripening Phase Begins The girls are now in week 6 of flowering, and the ripening phase has officially begun! The buds are noticeably denser, and resin production has kicked into overdrive — the trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a few early amber heads starting to appear. This week’s macro shots show the frost levels going insane, with every surface covered in sticky crystals. 24K Gold is showing classic ripening behavior: Her pistils are beginning to darken and curl inwards, while the calyxes start to swell. The aroma is becoming very pronounced — a sweet citrus funk mixed with a deep earthy undertone. Gelato 33 continues to build resin like crazy. The buds are slightly smaller but completely coated in trichomes. She’s developing that creamy-sweet scent typical of the strain, filling the tent with a dessert-like smell. Both plants still look perfectly healthy — the feeding routine and semi-hydro setup are keeping everything stable. Light intensity and airflow remain ideal, ensuring no mold or stress signs during this dense phase. Nutrients & Conditions: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 8 ml/L • 📈 EC 1.8 | pH 5.8 • 🌡️ Temperature: 25 °C day / 20 °C night • 💧 Humidity: 40–45 % • 💨 Airflow: High circulation to support trichome development The buds are swelling, trichomes are maturing fast, and the smell is becoming seriously intense. We’re now entering the final stretch — the next two weeks will focus on trichome color and terpene expression before the flush begins.

Gush Mints X Grape Cream Cake Harvest on Flowerday 70 Currently Drying in the Wine Fridge at 55% RH and 12°

Total days above ground: 63 Total flower nights: 24 Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. Even the 2 smaller Kush Mints have really come on strong in flower. Can barely tell they were under-sized at this point. Still have a little more compact structure, but spreading it out with some garden wire really allowed it to power its growth. Yield should be in line with the others. The KM3 had a strong minty smell last week, but that's mellowed out a bit since. All of the MSNL plants are robust and strong. Second grow with excellent results from this breeder. I did not pay for these seeds, but I am not a shill, either. If one of them grew all whacky like the mountaintop mint, I'd voice the same complaints. The clearly care about such traits in their selection process. Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action... One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health. I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless. Side note: The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference. Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.
