Here she is again put on some more size since last time, week four. Really short and fat, the leaves are just as fat as any indica I've ever grown. Maybe it took after the Irish kush I have no idea I've never seen what it looks like. IMG_20141202_173347.jpg

Which pheno did you get? I haven't flowered mine yet but she looks a lot like the timewreck growing beside her, except the timewreck had 11 bladed leaves and the quantum only had 9.

very long thin stems that need to be tied up by week 4, lots of stretch, lots of space between buds, small dense nugs covered in crystals.

not so sure about the high either. lots of terpins for sure. flavor is ok.

description "no ceiling" is meaning to me that i can smoke 3 grams to my head and still not be like "yea im high as fck"
its very heady....im high but nothing behind the eyes or head tingles, almost no paranoia or hunger...always want to smoke more...

i crossed and germinated QK x QK brother and sister to see what i get...hopefully a better pheno that grows more like kush and has a more pronounced high.
 
everyone I know loved the quantum kush. I did have a pheno like your saying with a big stretch to it. But it was just covered in trichomes. It yielded really shitty inside but outside she didn't do so bad. My pheno had purple stems really lanky I even ruffed them up to try to strengthen them a bit. I had two other phenos that yielded like all the other tga strains atleast a qp per plant with min training. veg for 50 days.

we are going to throw it outdoors for sure. its doing better in a bigger room with more fans under 6 1000s. but we are tying up at week 3-4. yes very crystally dense nugs, but the high is leaving me wanting more for some reason. i have been smoking Micky's kush and it gets me blasted and very happy/social, love it. the QK i just want to keep smoking more, but never get that fck im high feeling. very different sativas for sure. my friend likes it but my patient doesnt either.

thanks diggitty
i did a home test canniboids and it has tons of terpins, but i messed up the THC reading.

i like the mickys kush better but the buds were like light as a feather haze pheno that threw a few nanners and made a few seeds....i crossed them too QK x MK but only got 14 mature seeds. thats gonna be some cross, but cant figure out a name????

oldschooltofu, how did that back cross turn out so far? My quantum sounds about like yours, nodes are far apart, small dense buds. They're so caked in trichomes it's insane but at day 40 I'd like to see much more weight on.

Because Home Grown Natural Wonders is no longer associated with TGA once TGA sell out of the HGNW gear they have that'll be it :) you'll still be able to buy HGNW seeds there just on there own now

the backcross was actually a brother x sister
we got a range of phenos. the first batch will be done this coming weekend. they are looking really good. i can see about 4 or 5 phenos represented

we got a few short, huge calix frosty indica/jack Herer leaning types and a few that look like the mom lots of space between nodes and small ish buds. and a few that look like subs pics, small calix with bigger buds.

we are going to take pics, weigh each plant smoke and test each one before we make final decision on which one to keep.
i have to say that pheno hunting from 15 or so girls is much better than having to go with the 1 or 2 you get from a 5 pack.

Quantum is no longer listed at Tga, I wonder why that is?
QK came from Home Grown Natural Wonders didnt it. Along with Dr Who, Tardis, Sonic Screwdriver, Preofessor Chaos, Jack Straw, Nurse Jackie, maybe more

so outdoors it performed much better. one in the ground yeilded +10oz which is great for the small space and lack of direct sun.
my partner got 1# per in bigger pots in a backyard setting also. so not great yields. but a 60-65day 75% sativa is....almost unheard of. everyone was taking down indicas and my sativas were done early oct.

the one pheno i wanted to grow out got lost by my partner.
so i now have the best yeilder from the tall lanky purple pheno. which i am not excited about. but i have hundreds of seeds to do another selection if i want.

the Quantium kush x Sonic Screwdriver is my fav right now. running it again this cycle. out doors i yeilded 4oz per in 7 gals put out in early aug. lost about an oz to bud worms though. so tasty, potent but able to work on it. slight citrus smell/taste. im hoping to get 4-5oz per in 7 gal.

our low yeilds and potency last winter was caused by bugs...outdoor we still battled bugs but it did much better. small nugs, but lots of them. i had one haze pheno (loose buds all stacking calix almost no leaf)

I got massive yields off a simple little quantum that started flowering on her own outside, she was only about 3 weeks into veg but as she stretched out I wove her into a 4x5 piece of old fence and got just over 11. Very photogenic as well but I did get quite a few seeds in it which in not real happy about. I need to stray away from tga for a bit, I'm growing over 9 strains from them right now trying to find a fav of mine and patients.

I always will run a few Dr Who, Chernobyl, CK, or QK. These 2 runs going now I have Who and Chernobyl mixed in with some Karma Genetics and some Shiva Skunk from Sensi. I love variety.

I alsi picked up a pack of Sonic Screwdriver. How did she do for you?
