24k Gold Feminised

Does 24k Gold finish outdoors in Ireland? It does, planted out at the end of May and cut by early October. The 43/57 balance handles an Irish season without special treatment, which is most of the reason to choose it. Bloom takes 8-10 weeks, so the harvest date is set by the calendar far more than by your technique.

What should I expect to take off it? 450-550 g/m2 indoors and 450 g/plant outdoors are the published figures, and both assume a full light or a full season plus a root run to match. A tunnel gets you most of the way to the outdoor number; a windowsill will not. At 24% THC the effort is well spent either way.

Is it a sensible first grow? Reasonably. Anyone who has finished one grow will manage this one; it asks for consistency rather than expertise.

Soil or coco? Coco with fertigation at EC 1.4-1.8 through bloom if you are there daily and want speed. Peat-free soil with slow amendments — fish, blood and bone, seaweed meal, rock phosphate — if you are not, and want flavour. Both suit this hybrid; the deciding factor is your week, not the plant.

How does it handle the weather here? Hybrid vigour covers most of what an Irish summer does. Keep the root zone under 28°C and do not transplant into a warm spell.

When does bloom feed start? Within a week of the first pistils. The 43/57 balance shifts demand quickly at the transition — phosphorus and potassium up, nitrogen down. Soil growers top-dress; coco and hydro switch formula immediately.

Tunnel, outdoors or indoors? A tunnel is the best value of the three here. Indoors you own the 8-10 weeks of bloom completely; outdoors the plant gets light no lamp matches and can reach 450 g/plant, and pays for it in rain. Flowering: 8-10 weeks. Indoor yield: 450-550 g/m2. Outdoor yield: 450 g/plant. Plant height: 150 cm. Rated medium difficulty.

The catalogue lists happy, focused, energetic, calm, and that matches what growers here report back. At 24% THC this hybrid sits where the balance is the argument for it. Small doses stay functional, larger ones relax properly, and the 43/57 split means the direction is set by the amount rather than fixed by the plant. The Myrcene and Limonene together leave earth and faint sweetness, with fruit at the end.

Suited to most occasions, with the dose doing the steering.

Primary: Myrcene · Secondary: Limonene · Tertiary: Pinene. The three shift relative to each other across the cure. Straight off the dry the myrcene dominates; three or four weeks sealed in glass at 16-18°C and the pinene underneath comes up to meet it. Vaporising between 180°C and 195°C catches the widest span, because heat takes the lighter pinene molecules first.

24k Gold suits growers with the fundamentals in place. Understand pH, rough nutrient ratios and a light cycle before committing to it; it asks for competence rather than expertise. Photoperiod genetics leave plant size and harvest date under your control — veg longer for a bigger plant, or flip early when the ceiling is low. A bloom of 8-10 weeks fits inside the season here for outdoor growers, with a tunnel making it comfortable rather than tight.
