I'm really happy with this plant! The stretch is pretty much done. The canopy height is not as uniform as if I had used a SCROG but I'm still really happy with it. When I take the brick off in another couple weeks the front of the plant will pick up a little and she'll be pretty uniform then. She is filling in nicely. She has started smelling more. It is a sweet and lovely smell! During the stretch, I was nervous about her inter-nodal spacing. It looks like it'll work out fine though. I haven't defoliated any more but I'm thinking about it. Temps are a little warmer than I'd like (NorCal summer, lights on from 10PM to 10AM) but it's all working out. It has gotten to 80F in the tent a couple times but tends to stay from 74-78. Not ideal but she is taking it like a champ.
Without the SCROG screen, I have a few branches that were leaning on the side the the tent. Used some duct tape and a straightened cloths hanger to prop them up off the tent wall. That should help with air movement and keeping them healthy.
@NorCalCloset, it has been my plwaseure mate and a huge congratulations on the successful Dinafem harvest on the grow diary platform π
Enjoy that dank and frosty goodness mate βοΈ
All the best

Thanks for your comment! Don't know yet. I just finished chopping her down an hour ago. I'll update after the harvest has had a chance to cure a little.
Your very close to the finish line my friend and those buds have filled out great π
Not long now mate and as always thank you for the diary update, I'll drop back in on the next βοΈ
All the best

This is one of the first purple Moby dick grows to be completed on the grow diary platform π
Those buds look amazing and dripping in trichomes π
9 weeks into bloom so that finish line is very close. When do you plan on harvesting my friend?
Thank you for choosing our purple Moby dick, tour doing amazing, keep it up π

@DinafemSeeds,
Hi Mark. Thanks! I agree that the buds are getting frosty and sticky! She smells amazing too! When I've check on her to make sure her buds are propped up for the last couple weeks, I have really started to appreciate appreciate how much weight she is putting on here in the back half of flowering. I expect a very bountiful harvest.
Regarding the harvest date, for this website, I marked it as flowering as soon as I switched my light to 12-12. I switched the light 13 days before I saw the beginning of buds though. I usually start counting as soon as I see flowers rather than when I switch the light. I anticipate that the lights will be on 12-12 for ~12 weeks but her real flowering is only going to be 10 weeks. I'm going to be watching her closely from here on . I checked trichomes this morning and they are still mostly clear. I like a little amber in my harvest so I think she has a couple weeks to go for them to get cloudy and then amber.
Thank you Dinafem for these awesome genes! She has been tough and had explosive growth through out. I think her yield is going to be great too! The only thing I don't know yet is the strength and affect of the smoke. As everything else shown in her description on your website has been true though, I am pretty optimistic!
Thanks again for your comment,π
Keith
