Anyone have any insight on what we could expect from this strain? I l haven't grown any Kush strains before but I have seen some extreme broad leaf Kush plants. I also read that the original "OG" Kush plants that were traded around stretched out and grew ball-like buds.

I have grown a considerable amount of indica over the years. The majority are thick , dense masses of vegetation. Hard to train and dont respond to topping like sativas and hybrids do with much less lateral branching.
But they can grow some of the most solid, big rock hard colas. And terps and resins galore.
Oh, and the deep stones are within.

Growth has started to pick up the past couple of days. Stil a bit of discoloration on some leaves that I thought they might have grown out of after transplant. I'll get a fresh reservoir in there this weekend and see if that straightens them out. We'll get individual shots of each phenotype at that point.

They are starting to take off.
These wont be super hybrid vigorous growers, i like to see how normal genetics acts in a ideal environments.

It's go time. They all look to be drinking up nutrients from the bottom of their cups now. All phenotypes are very similar in many ways. #5 which is the lower right corner of the four is the only one that is slightly different. It wants to stay slightly shorter and stalkier then the other three. It also has stayed the healthiest through out the process.

Three of the four phenotypes have this crazy leaf twisting on the huge fan leaves, I've never seen anything quite like it. The top fans will lift up so vertical that they curl into the main growth stem and shade it from the light. #5 is showing the trait the most within the above pictures. #4 has one that turned completely sideways and its second nodal fan set stems almost straight up placing the leaf under its third set. Odd to say the least.

It also looks like they're straightening out of the yellowing that most of them fell into (all but #5). Starting to get some odors off of all of them nothing distinct or overpowering this early.

Finally got these things topped and defoliated. These 4 are very identical in so many ways it's borderline boring. Everything is growing well and is straightening out of the early yellow funk. Everything I have is fed exactly the same and in the same containers. #3 and #6 are the loudest when it comes to aromas. The exact same aroma that smells of decay, skunky compost with a mild sweetness on the fade away. #4 is the best overall structure plant and #5 is the strongest of the group but not by much. They all are very sturdy and strong plants and have minimal differences in each overall. We'll see how they respond to topping over the next week or so.
