Northern Kush #3

Bud smell - kushy fruty

cure for 6 weeks
_________________

Smoke report
- pleasant relax high :)
- taste from vaporizer is more towards hitter, yet still smooth, it is kinda sweet herbal taste with sour undertones
-> here it was really batlle to tell if NK2 is better or NK3, yet in vaporizer this sweet flavour evolved more to only minty herbs during one session, so big ups to its flavours on start, but NK2 was still good flavourede all thruout the sessions...
But both excellent !!
- NK3 is ,dare to not to say superb pheno, moderate harvest from this one also, and the trichome coverage is all around the same as NK2 but that bag appeal :O :)
So both plants are overall equaly as good !!
- you can see some intentional seed also ;)

- next will Be Northern Kush 4,, which was also excellent pheno for sure, yet lowest on smells, and lowest on potency..
- after that some litlle summary what I think about Northern Kush, but from here I can tell I think NK are really good for some quick+haze+flavour hunting !

here some tasty pics of some around. 3 g bud

Northern Kush #4

Bud smell - subtle yet delicious lemon
Ground up smell - sour lemon (slight floor cleaner)
Sturdier then NK2 and NK3 !
Moderate harvest, and the trichome coverage is also pretty good, it was very rapidly developing in that criteria
cure for 6 weeks

Smoke report

- mood upshift, yet not so much like say from skunk haze I smoked back in some time :)
- taste from vaporizer is herbal, smooth, bit of sweetness, leaving bit of throat hit, but its pleasure, on 4th toke the flavours are dissappearing (in vaporizer)
- It have actually better flavours than CBD zkitllez had

- I think very good plant, if I had the space I would keep this in form of clone


here some tasty pics to finish of this thread phase :)

Better to tell the crowd.
The seeds seen are intentional and are pretty nice..
I have tried some femine pollen used from NK3 clone.

I will post photos of seeds once I made final notes for this grow ;)

Northern Kush
(NL5Haze x Master Kush)


Grow time
-around 40 days
Structure -pretty uniform side branched plants, differed mainly in development speed, one was stick runner, yet still bushed out
Leaf paterns -hybrid leaners, darker green colors,one more towards sativa
Nutes tolerance in grow phase -I messed up big time,this round, yet still all plants were relatively thirsty for nutes

Flowering time -full 9 weeks - to week 10
Flowering smells -there was fruits, some soapy sweet smells, just NK3 had that slight dank aroma, overall not much distinguishable cannabis - good for stealth & issues
Nugets onset -rapid
Nugets shape -good sized sativa inclined buds
Nugets hardness -all medium hard, to hard
Nutes tolerance - „it will eat the grass by road“

Cure -full flavour after 6 weeks of good cure
Smells -fruity, citrus, some lemon also, some minty tones too
Level of smell -in good amounts it will fill the room quite easy, in low amounts good to carry elsewhere :)
Taste -creamy, hashy, lemon or other fruity undertones (very good in vaporizer)
Effects - 1st session is quite funny, relaxed, 2nd session is you will need to sit for a while, yet you dont want to sit, one pheno was like you are starring at your own brain in your hand if smoked too much (NK3) :D


Personal review
I think, that theese few phenos I growed were all pretty nice bushes of some really fast growing hazy plants.
They have great tastes and pretty colors and sparkly trichome coat.
Fine & delicious nugets _ pot of green gold for sure !!

I made clones of NK2&3 for safekeeping and this season, I will try to cross them to Northern Widows just for fun of it :)

Well today I have made two cuts of NK23
from friends garden.

I will give some photos later today...
Theese will be polinated by Northern widow male I have flowered out earlier.

This will be my test/error because the plant is made of Nk2xNk3 where Nk3 was reversed to give female pollen.

The mother plant looks stuning, yet my friend didnt let me take a pic of the plant, so we will have to wait on her, to take rooting and grow for some time.

I think this should be interesting and an experiment of mine.

All this, because of the abuse of mites which killed Nk2&Nk3 :-(
So I will do it this way, hope to get something interesting.

From now on, I will be posting NK23 here, which is grown next to Devils and waiting to be pollenated by Northern Widow.

NK23 was made from my experimenting with colloid silver, I wanted to try for so long, I know I know, it is unnatural process, yet I wanted to see what (and how) could happen.

The parent plant NK3 from previous grow was very resilient to make female pollen, It took around 6-8 weeks to just show first signs of pollen sacs and NK2 was pollenated by her.
Few seeds were then pregrown and cloned for friends. One of the observed plants was then cut to clones and two were made for me.
I chose the better looking clone, It was not looking so good at first, but It catch up and is some healthy and strong female now, so I think I will give it a try, when Iam so far with this special project.

I will try this X in Natural way also, but time and space is not on my side.


Here is how the plant NK23 look just now :)

So, also to update it here...

LED is powered up to 200W

Feeding is backed to just soil ammendments (Bloom mix, Neem, Rockdust, MycoBoost, Frass)

Watered by 2L of 6,5 pHed water, runoff off 6,5-6,6 -> Id say Okay...



Now few words for the plant..

The colors look like previous NK grow, it is that huge bluish-green hue, altho, where did those thin leafes came, must be from parentage?
Buds are poping and bulking in impresive pace. I wonder if they will look more like NK2 or NK3 or something else :)
-> plant training looking good now, If I take into acount, how it was few weeks earlier...

Iam Happy, Happy, Happy :D
NW male pollen will land shortly ! :)

Mating done
(NL5Hz x MK #2 / NL5Hz x MK #3 Selfed) x (NL5Hz x BW)

I think, this is the way the so called seedbanks does it, easy, not a lot of time in „developing the seeds“ and then they give it some great name and ugly price

I hope this experiment of mine dont upset @shantibaba , Its just coincidence in coincidence that I had to do it this way ..

But on the other hand, for me, it is 3in1 experience:
1st - my 1st time selfing of the plant - Warning!! it works, yet the reversed plant was looking like dying and you didnt let her go, not great experience if you love nature !!
2nd - pricy seedbanks thinking made at home - I really think this is the way those pricy names comes by theese days, and there are so much new seedbanks
3th - stacking genes based on one same parent plant - I didnt spell it exactly, as I dont have better know off, but I think it is named good in some way

-> now I will see what happens, maybe it is faulty thinking of mine, maybe something good will really emerge,, that is what experiments are of, atleast for me,, something that let me think about it deeper.
-> I will give you some resultsd once I plant the seeds, If there would be any ;)


I hope to get back to normal manner of things and normal plant matings with regular males and females.


I would love to know, which plant would you all want to see tested next in some 2 months from now..
G13 Afghan skunk, Northern Widow, WACO, GROWL, something else, I got all I think, or Northern Kush again ??
