DAY 56 FLOWERING: It is time!!!!!
The Purple Monkey are all done and hanging to dry..... They finished perfectly at around day 50-55. They all have a deep purple colour among the reds/pinks and they smell amazingly sweet like a candy . The 1st two hing up are close to jar dry already as the heat here has been so warm and dry. I kept the leaves on and dried with no cuts to the plant at all to try to slow it down a little and not blow all those terpenes . I will do an update on their harvest weight ect as soon as I am able to trim the last one
Banana Mash are all looking nice and frosty now with the buds swelling quite steadily. They could go another week at least I think and will benefit from the extra space and airflow created by harvesting the monkeys. ( sounds like a dhali painting!). THey are so tacky to souch now and the sickly banana smell is really pungent too. The #4 is not as developed as the others but has a huge frame to her so hopefully another 2 weeks will see her finished too.
Mimosa/mango is a huge beast of an plant now withings everywhere. I got to really see her size during the re jogging of the room . She has had to have some yo-yo's to hold her manyinbs in the light as they are heavy little buds she has produced, hidden among the canopy.
Exotic ? Is also starting to build some nice stacked buds but looks about 3 weeks away from her finish.
Overall a great week with most happening ( including the birth of my new son last Saturday 7th Aug.what a week!!)
Great things coming with the Banana mash hopefully and an interesting guessing game to the other crosses too. Be well and safe
@spyder,Thanks spyder. i am a fan of the breeders tbh. just finishing some more of their genetics with 3 strains and had an excellent mango cream harvest from 4 too. excited to see what we have here now.
@TrickOrTrip,thanks trip. loving the vigour of them so far. all so willing to play ball. now seeing buds so no sneaky male nanners either. lol . I am on virgin defence mode now after last run had a non-eunuch sneak in and spread pollen...be well bud
@Ferenc, thanks. the co2 jas always been a great help with the oven the space can create. deflecting the suns heat away from the roof tiles was a huge win once I got it right. does stop a lot of overheating when the summer hits here . genetics for sure plays a big role too.
@MarsHydroLED, thank you. got to sing the praises of the tsl2000 and the sp3000. i can keep a lot of plants moving through with the footprint it gives out. All three stages in together to keep perpetually growing. I have the tent rattling in a box waiting to get used now too will be figuring out a best way for use it without losing the great footprint already being achieved. would love to put the sp3000 inside the tent with 6 plants but would lose the great results i am getting from them in this array now. the tsl is brilliant but would struggle to keep them as happy and productive on its own in a big space like the 5ftx5ft footprint and I wouldn't be able to bring younger plants along until the harvests either. trying to figure it out at lol thank you
@Ganjagrandaddy,.. Im3sure we ..your grow family can figure out any problem any of us might have so feel free to ask for any advise ...πππππ€π€ππͺππͺπͺππ¬GROWMIE FAM
Hello there! Love those sativa leaning hybrids with their long stems and stacking buds style like yours, awesome, some need very little manicuring!
Well done and thanks for sharing!
@Eauderay, Thanks for the positives. Have to agree there too. sommuchbeasier to rim a few fans off and a little manicure of sugar leaves. bundles of bud always look like fruit to crunch too. so different to the other 2 with their donkey doing appearance. spikey looking buds on #3 too. have high hopes for these ladies.
