DAY 71 F: Well a day overdue for the update but I have been a busy fellow in the real world.
The Girls scout cookies have dried enough to be considered for jarring. They have finished so perfectly and so damn tacky too. They smell of sweet candy after a lollipop lick. So nice. I have been taking samples the past week of so and drying them . temptation won.lol
Idont expect a huge yield from their size but the quality is bang on the money.
The Amnesia haze ladies are so so close now . They are rock somid still and have really packed the trichs on , a little swelling has been noticable but not the second flush of pistils I was hoping for.
#1 and 2 are going to be left until day 77 at least , so another week but the #3 lady has got to go into the dark period now I think. She was the girl I confused as a gsc too so had her dragon force very early in that respect. Seeing how faded out she has got during the last week has helped drive the decision to get her out now. She will be in the dark for 48 hours then trimmed for drying. They will all be fed just water now to use up the remaining nutes in the pots to the end.
The critical cheese is in mid flush of her newest pistils and thankfully is swelling nicely due to that fact. She has a really fuel/ nail polish heavy aroma at present but I can smell the sweet tang too. She looks like her yield could be a good one for what looked like a gangly specimen for the past 12 weeks. Lol . One of criticals finest qualities I think.
All in all a good week for the ladies if not a calm one. Let's see what next week brings. Be safe and well growmies.
@Cannabeast40,I normally go straight to pot or jiffy but did a soak to hopefully speed the germ up. I try not to handle the seeds at all and with autos , I am even more cautious.lol
easy to rot a seed in the propagator too as I have found out a few times. Paper towels can be difficult with fast seeds if they attach those tiny lateral roots with autos too so I avoided that method in case. A couple of the seeds still floating after 24 hours too which can indicate a non starter in my experience and from a few seed selection articles I found too. Thankfully the rest look really happy and settled already. Thanks canna
@Ganjagrandaddy,if i were you, i woud germinate in wet towels, leave in dark with 23-25 degrees, within 12-24 hours. When sprouted transplant to jiffyΒ΄s, a little week, then transplant to final pot π i have very close to 100% succes this way. U2 buddy π
@Antares,thanks Antares. Never seen this shape naturally before but definitely down to the plant itself too. Could be interesting to watch unfold. Lol. Welcome aboard buddy.
They all look cracking mate, hopefully the critical cheese bulks out a little bit π€(gotta love abit of cheese!)
Excellent video as always! Lovely autumn colours with the fade on the other girls aswell pal π
Looking forward to seeing what your harvest will be.
Stay safe brother
Peace βοΈ
@UKPersonal420,cheers mate. Loving how they are fading out naturally too. It's when the best colours show out and we are lucky in some ways that our huge temp drops at lights off here in blighty , help to colour them. Used to make me smile when I read about a small temp drop of a few degrees when here we get a huge drop in winter. Lol .it brings the purples out well but I do use a tubular heater to stop the freeze getting them. Lofts are a pain. Lol. 1 nearly ready for her trim up and dry now too so the fun begins again. Lol
just got the testers through too ,13 strains for 2022 release. Will be some fun running through those in the coming months. Thanks for the positives
excellent video and diary entry as always π
I canβt ever seem to bend a stem 90 degrees like that without breaking it.
Hopefully the second one repairs well enough and is able to still carry nutrients efficiently.
Other than that all these ladies look very happy and healthy! Bring on the early flowering signs π
@UKPersonal420,thanks UK. I did snap one trying to get her back over , doh. Hard when so small and no space between the nodes. Once bigger , a thumb and finger rolling motion as you apply pressure , has the stem slowly weakening then a kind of mushy feel. Allows a full 180Β° if long enough. Lol. It slows the node down nicely with these autos too. I sometime "pop' the stem with a firm press until a popping sound. This allows a good bend but does risk a snap. Always repairable on a photoperiod with time though, unlike these bloody autos. Lol
@MariRemediesLLC,wow what a pleasant comment Bigdoon4. Thank you . I really enjoy growing and seeing what the strains push out. We learn a lot together here which is the beauty of such a community. Seeing methods and ideas being tried and shown has helped me hugely. Be well growmie.
