This post is home to strains by QUALITYMEDICALBUDS.
Im just a hobby farmer, enjoy!

-------------------------------------------

Useful info for QUALITYMEDICALBUDS strains:
They respond very well to being topped, better than just LSTing.
Start with 1/2 nutrients and work your way up. 1/4 strength was starving them.
They respond to both HID and LED lights, but if you are using LEDs you may have to move them closer to the canopy.
Lower temperatures to bring out vibrant colours

Strain: Super Lemon Haze x Bubba Kush, feminized
These plants are in flush. The plant on the left I topped every single branch 2 weeks before flower, the plant on the left I only used LST. I made note that they responded extremely well to being topped and they didnt skip a beat when LST'd, however the topped plant even looked healthier throughout the whole flower cycle. Its also leeching more consistently.
Not having used QUALITYMEDICALBUDS strains before, I fed them 1/2 strength nutrients for most of the grow as I wanted a baseline for how much they feed. I made note to kick it up to 2/3 or full strength next time.
This strain was sent to me free with my custom order, but dont let that fool you, any "free seeds" QUALITYMEDICALBUDS gives are as good as the ones purchased.

Strain: LSD,
feminised
These plants just went into 1st week of veg, transplanted them a week ago.
I planted 10 seeds, all popped, germinated and sprouted. It was REALLY tough choosing, but out of the 10 plants only 4 were a little behind so I gifted them to a friend in need so I could focus on the remaining 6.
As LSD has been my favourite strain for years, I have decided take clones from each of them when they are ready.
These seeds were purchased very recently, basically the second I saw them available, I couldn't believe my luck. They were $98 for 10 feminised seeds which all survived, and being a return customer I was given 4 free seeds of another strain, "Blue Dream x The Black", that is meant to have amazing colour displays when given a cooler climate.

Strain: LSD, feminised
Day 10 of veg. I topped them all a couple of days ago so their branches have started to really grow. They were not only outgrowing my veg tent but also outgrowing my 250W MH, so I put them into my flower chamber where they will be in veg until they fill a trelis net.
Hung up my 2 LED lights and have them on the sides, usually kicks them into gear. Just have them on the growth setting.

Strain: LSD, feminised
Day 20 of veg. They were dying for a transplant so I transplanted the 4 strongest and I will do the other 2 later on. Been very busy lately, they got a little dry before the transplant.

The plant in the middle is NOT from QMBs, it is a local strain, a "monster cropped" clone that was gifted to me. "Monster cropping" is when you take clones from a flowering female which results in an insanely bushy plant. Monster cropped clones have low success rate as they have to both take root and revert back to veg, and even if they do, the stress can cause very odd mutations. They took 10 cuttings, 5 survived, only 3 kept growing though.
Apparently the yield is worth it.. Guess we will find out!
