Buds are starting to puff up and getting a quite the sweet smell. I have a 4" exhaust fan which blows out onto a firewood pile in my garage. This actually seems to reduce quite a bit of smell so far. I am looking forward to seeing if it continues to work into late flower when they get their stank on. The other benefit is the constant airflow onto this woodpile is likely helping it season/dry a bit. I wood-burgled late in the year, and this is my backup pile that will get used for February fireplaces when winter seems never-ending. I digress....
No more defoliation this week, she is bushier than most leave their plants, but imo foliage is flowering horsepower and with sufficient airflow I like to leave on as much as possible. I am pretty happy with how she is looking, I certainly mistrained a few of the colas about 6" higher than the rest, but i am not going to lose any sleep over it. A couple of the top leaves did get a bit burnt, but i raised the light up a few inches and they seem to be fine.
The girls are getting thirstier. I am feeding about 2x what I was a few weeks ago. About 6L between them every second day.
Timing wise I am predicting that harvest right before xmas, with early tasting as holiday cheer. The Gorilla Cookies only has days left, so she will be cured and ready as the christmas special!
I just finished a similar grow not too long ago with the same style. I wish the best on your grow and I hope it yields as much deliciousness as mine did! ๐๐
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
