Day 131, week 18, 6th week of flowering, my plants are starting to pack on some serious flowers!
The hot summer is coming to an end, my plants say thank you! They surely suffered the hot weather; I live in southern Europe and every summer it gets hotter, this year we had a maximum temperature of 40Β°C.
The leaves start to fade, bud sites grow every day and sugar leaves are multiplying, I hope I get a nice yield so that I can smoke all year around.
As I said many times Cookies Gelato #1 is deep into flower but I guess it won't be ready untill mid october whereas Cookies Gelato #2 and #3 are 2-3 weeks late, pushing harvest time to late October / early November.
In the previous weeks of flower I spotted some darkening of the pistills in some bud sites of my plants, it left me concerned. Few weeks later and I'm happy to see that the darkening hasn't spread to orher bud sides and it has vanished in the majority of buds that were affected, the plants recovered beautifully.
Cookies Gelato #3 amazes me, it had a rough start but now it's the tallest of among my plants and it looks very healthy.
Cheers and see you in the next update
nice....NL is a great strain,,got a cpl on the go myself..one tent, one outdoors..finished off a chiquita banana not to long ago..not sure if similar to your banana...good luck with the grow.....enjoy.
@DevilsBud, I have put aside my Fat Banana so that It will cure nicely for a month or so, right now I'm smoking the smallest northern light and it's not bad considering that it has dried for only a week or so.
Cheers
