Hi donargen,
I think your Zamaldelica x Kali China will be ready for harvest around 3rd week of this month. Post some pics when the date is close so we can check again whether is the right moment for harvest.
Try with the temp. up 3/4 degrees 24/7, humidity the same.Observe it for a few days.She's looking good!My plant is looking otherwise healthy, closing soon full 4 weeks of flowering. But today as I was watering, I noticed that the flower part of the plant, that isn't receiving almost any light had grown some balls. Just a few and when I plucked them there was no pollen. So is there need to worry, naturally I will follow it's progression even more often now..any experiences regarding the matter, can there be infertile balls?
Also the bud formation is really slow, and they are very small compared to BH's, which are cruising along. Don't know if it's the KC or what but it doesn't seem to succeed in my environment, always very low yield. Temps now are lights on 23-25C and off 19-20C, humidity around 40-50 and no nutrient burn. Maybe it will fatten up towards the end, if it doesn't keep throwin balls at me. The terpene profile and smells of this plants are amazing, so I hope it would shine in the yield department as well..
R. I am not an expert,but,at 23C to 25C is not the canopy I am concerned, but the rooting system working below full potential(low temp).Maybe that's why you had an overwatering problem in the past,and,got it better with this run.I think Dubi,mentioned,somewhere, that one advantage of having a seed planted in the ground,is that its rooting system gets to be at a constant temp.Thanks for the tips, Syd and Red. It gives me atleast some relieve that you've experienced similar issues, Syd ;D. I can't do much about humidity and lack funds to buy some humidifying machine to my room, and also tent has absolutely no space. But I'll see what happens if I rise the temps for a little bit. Dubi always says KaliChina likes lower temps specially in the end flowering, mut maybe it is the Zam part of the plant that wants more tropical atmosphere..
E. something like this also happened to me last year with Bubba Hash, but then the run was going terribly wrong because of overwatering issues, and now the watering is rather good and improved, plants are happy and praying towards the light. Back then I also only found balls from growth tips in very low parts of the plant, that didn't receive light and were also yellow etc. Never found any seeds from the final product either. Don't know if CMH light play's some part in this, who knows. Anyway around 4-6 weeks left so hope we will make it.
