The Orange Pink Apricot and Pink Kush cannabis plants are in bloom with buds stacking, the Orange Pink Apricot clone is having a growth spurt, and the male Apricot Kush pollen flowers are starting to open.
Pink Kush bloom
Orange Pink Apricot bloom
After the initial five weeks of vegetative growth, this Orange Pink Apricot cannabis plant has had two weeks in bloom, six weeks remaining until harvest.
The pistil pod buds have been filling in quickly, with many of the buds stacking to form little colas, I'm looking forward to seeing them thicken.

The bud growth of very similar to it's Orange Barb and Pink Apricot parents with thick pistils. The Pink Apricot fan leaves quickly yellowed as well, and the stalks bolted to a decent height like the Orange Barb.

Tiny trichomes are starting to appear on the leaves near the pistils, there's a light apricot, orange, citrus scent to the buds. Six more weeks for these bud stalks to fatten.

Orange Pink Apricot clone
Three weeks ago I had cloned the Orange Pink Apricot plant from a small branch clipping, before it was put into bud mode.
3 Weeks Ago
After a couple weeks of root growth, the clone leaf growth has accelerated. After the leaf growth took off I transplanted to a larger container to give the roots more room.

You can see above in the photos how much the leaves grew in one week. This cloned plant will be in vegetative mode longer than the five weeks it's mother had before going into bloom, to see more of it's potential, for a larger harvest.
Pink Kush bloom
After six weeks of vegetative growth, this Pink Kush plant has been in bloom for a week, seven weeks remain until harvest.

With that extra week of veg time this plant is noticably larger than the Orange Pink Apricot plant. The stalks of this Pink Kush plant have most likely bolted as tall as they will, they didn't shoot up as much as the Orange Barb descendant, but the shorter stalks makes it easier to give the lower branches light too. Hardly any of the fan leaves have began to yellow with this strain.

In the two pictures above are pairs of stalks that grew from topped stalks, the more bud stalks the merrier. You can see the pistils filling in to form buds, it looks like a shorter top cola structure with this strain.

The above-right picture shows the lower branch that will soon be cross pollinated with the Apricot Kush pollen, a Kush on Kush strain will be fun to stabilize in the new year - Apricot Pink Kush will be interesting. The pictures don't do this Pink Kush plant justice in showing how bushy it has become, I'm looking forward to seeing the bud structure fill in.
Apricot Kush pollen flowers
The Apricot Kush male cannabis plant has been showing male and growing flowers for the past two weeks.

You can see the hanging flowers preparing to open to release pollen, soon I'll collect some of the pollen to save, and some to pollinate a lower branch of the Pink Kush plant, to grow crossbred seeds. A lot of cross breeding this year, in the new year I'll start to sort through and stabilize some of the new strains.
