I’m here to share my organic cultivation practice, and nowadays, I’m growing two Zombie Kush phenos from Ripper Seeds. I pop up a three seeds pack and one don’t germinate. They started in one liter pot, then transplantate to a 7L and now they’re in 11L fabric pots.
The first one, aka ZK#1, pop up at 7th july and the third, aka ZK #3, pop up at 9th july. ZK# 1 seems to be shorter and has the classic hybrid leeves. On the other hand, ZK #3 seems to be taller and mostly indica leeves.
Lately, I’ve been doing some adjustments before flipping.
The next cycle is still a surprise. I receive some Papaya Rider (Sowahh x Papayadawg vs Biker Kush) seeds from Blazingkultivarz and some Hashtonic pollen (thank you @bigLblazed for the generosity). I want to polinate one feminized CBD Orange Diesel seed that I had and I cant wait to growing the Papay Rider. So… still dont know yet.
Just flip them today. They’ll have a little more darkness today (16 hours), that because I need to adjust the watering time with my daily routine. Later today, they’ll receive some water + worm castings (liquid and solid) + bokashi. Untill now, I only give them some microbiological stimulants (FPE Babosa + Saponina, Algafish).
I dont fed them with bokashi and worm castings solid as I said. The breeder wrote to me that Zombie Kush has little EC/PPM, so… I decide to follow this tip and feed them (for now) only with the liquid stuff. Others advices I just ignore, like dont cut them. Wanna see how they react to the apical prune, so I pruned twice.
Here is the answer I recived:

Es un placer saber que vas a probar nuestras semillas. Zombie Kush es una genética de fácil cultivo y que da muy buenos resultados en cuanto a producción y flores llenas de resina y olor. Zombie Kush es una variedad que necesita una fase de crecimiento generosa si quieres obtener todo el potencial y producción de la planta. Es una genética que para obtener los mejores resultados necesita una baja fertilización de abonos , si sobrefertilizas la planta puede ser que la producción de flores sea menor y las flores sean un poco más pequeñas…es una planta que normalmente no necesita una poda apical ya que la estructura de la planta es bastante arbusto , pero si acepta bien técnicas de entrenamiento LST.
Si tienes cualquier otra duda mientras cultivas las semillas , puedes contactarnos de nuevo y preguntar lo que quieras o mandarnos fotos para poder orientarte y aconsejarte mejor.
Untill now, the only clone that shows roots is ZK #3. This pheno is winning (to date). Better structure, color, rooting and size. I’ll see the effects and terpenes profiles, ZK #1 can turn the table on that. So… lets wait for It.
So… 29 days of flowering… the trichomes diference persists, ZK #1 is way more frostier than ZK #3. But… the structure, symmetry and rooting of ZK #3 is still better.
While 2/2 ZK#3 clones show roots, just 1/4 ZK #1 shows it.
Beside that, I decide to: feed them only with water and liquid worm casting untill the end; decrease the PFFD at the last week of this month.
