So happy with the way the plants look at harvest, day 64, and they smell AMAZING already. Hanging in a tent to dry with homemade evap cooler, hitting 70*/60% rh, temp is as low as I’m going to get rn. Surprised at how different all three phenos look, trying not to touch for at least two weeks but may not hold out 😁 the runt is much more purple, whereas the front runner has more citrus and the tri-whorl more pine. Can’t wait for the taste test, have clones of each and plan to keep a mother. Next cycle will be first clone run.
So happy with harvest for 3 plants and first grow think 8.1oz dry bud is decent. Definitely underestimated how hungry LA is, learned to up potassium sooner and was also showing phos def at the end of flower with red stems. I added soft rock phosphate when transplanting the clones and will top dress with fish bone meal prior to flower on next grow. Adding vinegar to most watering also seemed to help with uptake since our city water is so hard. Also have a source for organic alpaca poo and need to set up pick up💩.
Microbes also more established at this point and have watering under control now so nutrient cycling should be better on next run. Was waaay overwatering at first but after investing in a tensiometer have been tracking daily and have adjusted to waiting a few days between watering with such a large body of soil (150 gallon). Adding saponins to every watering also helped dramatically, I’m using soap nut powder rn. Being patient while they cure and doing the taste test at the end of June 😋.
Was able to hang for 8 days with evap cooler and humi at 70*/56-60% rh then branches cut into tub and trimmed over 3 days, sitting at 58-65% in the jars, opening daily till they stabilize. Have been smoking hash collected on the scissors and it is potent and tastes amazing and complex, very earthy, warm spice, fruity, citrus, pine all in one, but very distinct differences from all three phenos! Think the runt (#3 pheno) smells the best and looks most purple at this point, but low yielder. #2 pheno has dominant pine smell and is the tri-whorl so has more branches and more tops, but #1 is dominant citrus and was an early front runner and close behind in yield (and I probably took about an eighth off #1 early without weighing🙄), both large plants yielded around 3.5oz and only 1oz from the runt, but not opposed to just growing more small plants if #3 wins the taste test
I rarely stop on diary as I have seen a lot since all these years and it requires more than just a healthy plant to make me drop a comment... but these genetics are remarkable and well grown 👍
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks so much, that is amazing to hear for my first run a lot of newbie mistakes in the beginning but dove deep down the rabbit hole and after a ton of research feel like I’m in a good place now. I love LA, it is a beautiful plant and has been joy to grow, trying to be patient for harvest 😁
