Group shot of 5 ZxKC. The 3 on the bottom are clones of the original, which I will refer to as Stubby. The one fading fast was on a mild kelp and water diet throughout. The other two on conventional organics. I've harvested 6-8 plants of these and am totally pleased. Quality, good production, ease of growth and smells are top notch.
The 2 on the top are new starts. One I'll call Tall and the other Short. The one on the left I'll assume leans more towards the Zam. side. It has a much more open habit and is leggy. Just into flower at about 5 weeks. The Short one more resembles the original Stubby, but with a bit more length. This one will have a home soon, in rich native soils, under the sun.
Clones of the original and the new starts will eventually fill the room with their aromas. Anxious to compare the three but don't expect any great differences.
Repuk, I see where you are on your last dab of smoke. I wish I could share. I have more than I need but can't seem to stop growing it. Been passing it out to friends who all say the same thing. Bam Wham thank you Zam.
Hey, fellas, wanted to report on my last Zamaldelica x Kali China, Zeke, finished July 20 indoors.
She was run under LEDs alongside some potent hybrids like Purple Trainwreck and Romulan that came out super hard to beat with their respective appeals. Zeke is found somewhere earlier in this thread in veg or early flo, and ended up being a very prolific flowerer of nice, dark sativa spears, purpling at the end. One of the best yielders in the tent. The surprise with her is not so much in her effect, as I know the strain pretty well and love it, but in the terps she retained, and their power.
So the Romulan is very strong in smell, when smoked, when in a rolled J, when in a bag in your car, etc, and also in effect, which is rather a high quality satty effect, without Afghan stickiness, a really good, if not phenomenal, smoke. Plus incredible bag appeal.
What surprised me, was that Zeke was just as strong as the Rom, with maybe some more interesting layers and even more obvious stone, if that's possible. I also thought she may be strawberry, but turned out mango, and strong mango. So great smell in the jar, very nice sativa spear buds, easily manicured, very easily broken up for my spliffs.
This is all great blabla, but the kicker is when I burnt her and got incense. Now THAT was unexpected and cool. Haven't had it so in my face since my Panama Haze a few grows back. REALLY nice and I think the incense was a first in the 8 or 9 seed plants I've run of this strain.
Lovely stuff. I have one more outdoors with really nice, long buds and very dark green leaves, been flowering since June and just started to turn some hairs
I have one of these ladies going now. She is only 12 days in but she already looks very healthy. I have a Kali China going next to her....will be interesting to see the differences between the two!
Nothing much to show yet, but gosh I am just so excited I had to jump in now. I will post updates once she gets to a more interesting state. 12 days in and already working on her first five finger leaves though! Already looking beautiful both of them.
What I love about this strain is the incredible terpines. Some individuals have had wonderful musky and floral aromas mixed with incense and citrus. Very complex smells that linger on your sticky fingers. As it fades over the next few minutes you keep catching little whiffs and it just puts a big shit eating grin on your face. Great weed! I have a little stash in the freezer and just put a new seed in dirt yesterday.
Hey, Adiba
something like that happened to me but not with this strain.
I had a grow some time back and the tops of the plants looked like your picture no. 3, slightly yellow. I suspect the reason was too much nitrogen, I read that when the plant starts to yellow from bottom up it means too little nitrogen, but when the plant starts to yellow from tip down it means too much nitrogen.
The grow I am talking about died because I just f***ed up, but since that I always go lighter on nitrogen and I did not have the same problem anymore.
I am not 100% sure this is it, but maybe you could try something in this direction, flush or just lower the dosage of nitrogen. Hope it helps.
Happy holidays, Blu
