Starting week 5 of flowering, the lowest fan leaves of 2 of my plants are already slightly changing color. I wouldn't be surprised this strain actually can finish after 7 weeks of flowering.
If that's the case, they have 21 days to go from now. I want to finish with minimum 10 days of flushing, after boosting for 7 days. So that means they will get the tripart Flora nutrients for another 5 days. EC is now at 2.2
In 5 days I will change to the final part, Ripen.
After boosting for one week I will flush for 10 days to 2 weeks, until they are ready for harvest.
Update flowering day 32
I was expecting my plants to finish after 7 to 8 weeks. But many more leaves have turned yellow over the past days, and my flowering room is now filled with the unmistakable heavy pungent smell of flowers getting at their climax. I'm only at week 5 day 4 of flowering. These fast ladies caught me by surprise!
Took some close up photo's with flash today to check the trichomes. All buds look frosty, most hairs turned yellow and all trichomes are milky. I'm expecting to see the first amber trichomes within a week.
Instead of 7 to 8 weeks of flowering, I'm more likely looking at 6 to 7 weeks.
That means I have no time left for boosting. I won't be adding the final part 'Ripen', instead I emptied the reservoir and filled it up with clean water (PH lowered to 5.0).
Flushing starts today at day 32, for minimum one week, hopefully 10 days.
Update flowering day 35
Took macro photos of all plants individually. Plant 4 is showing amber glands. Trichome stems of plants 5 and 6 are changing color as well.
These ladies will be harvested first in the next days.
@Psilocubensis, Although they were cultivated in hydro, people who tasted my critical thought it was cultivated in soil. The aroma of the buds was also rather earthy. When grinded it smells more spicy, some of the most resinous buds even hashy, the denser flowers skunky. I would say the terpene profile was more towards herbal(pine than fruity or citrus. Too bad I haven't got any left, that stash was gone in no-time. Only.a week left before harvesting and filling the pots with something different : )
