Buds are really starting to form and set up.
Chem Brulee smells strong as hell (tropical diesel). French Macaron really developing nicely as well.
The buds on the Pineapple Meatball are probably the furthest along, but they are the least odorous at this stage.
They smell like garlic.
Feeding Foop every third watering. Stepped up watering to 5gallons per day.
They've been really thirsty in the heat.
Started using Doctor Zymes to combat thrips, mites and aphids.
Really impressed with it so far.
Ladybugs will be arriving tomorrow. Will be releasing this week.
Now chalking much of the discoloration to neem oil burn and nute burn (top dressing AND feeding was simply a bit heavy handed at first)... but it doesn't seem to be affecting the buds at all.
If anything, it's forced me to defoliate a bit, which is a good thing. Likely part of my pest issues can be chalked up to over-vegging given how long these ladies have been outside.
Overall, though... I'm feeling good in the heart of flowering.
@Themythicalchristine, all 3 are smelling great in their own way... but the Chem Brûlée is definitely the most pungent as of right now.
Like a tropical oil spill... in the best possible way.
;)
Great plants and great diary. I ma stealing couple ideas. My first outdoor.Diatomateous earth is amazing thing . Kill all my flying friends and they eggs
Happy growing
Looking great, I had a few inner leaves that looked the same, I think it's just the plant focusing on flowering more than keeping inner fan leaves alive.
