First Grow

We are now over halfway through week 14 of this grow, and victory is so close I can smell it... this is the 6th week of flower and things are getting pretty serious. 😍 The buds have swollen dramatically, pinched a few here and there and they feel nice and dense. It's been cool to see the difference between how the strains stack the buds - Orangecello is stacking big connected colas, Chocolate Mint OG has tons of separate smaller buds. I am interested to see how all the bottom buds come out, as I trained this plant the least and minimized removing any potential bud sites. It seems to have the right structure to reward that style of maintenance. The smells are all amazing and continue to develop and change. Chocolate Mint OG keeps being a mystery - the rubbery smells have receded in favor of a sour fruit & grape candy scent, but I'm not even sure that's accurate. Permanent Marker has a bit less chem and now has a rich sweetness, almost toasted butter and sugar, like a caramel. Orangecello is still my personal favorite with a tropical sunscreen smell. The Permanent Marker is super frosty, and the Chocolate Mint OG isn't far behind. They all look so beautiful, you can see my infatuation grow along with the number of pictures each week. This week's post should put me over 700 views! That's crazy, thanks to everyone who stopped to read or check out the grow or drop a comment. Only a few more weeks left. Topdressing is over, maybe 1 or 2 more teas, but otherwise mostly just "plain" water (pretty much always has a dash of calmag) and an occasional bit of signal bloom boost.
