-7/25- Day23
These ladies are starting to frost up and thicken up the baby-buds. They have been eating everything that I've been giving them and showing no deficiencies.
However #2 is getting stressed and burnt from the light, who is only a few inches taller than #1. She is getting purple/brown spots between leaf-veins and burnt edges. I have moved the lights up to 16in with about 75-80% power down from 100%. I think these lights might be a bit much for these ladies, but thankfully they are short enough where I can make adjustments. High temps also played a part in the light-stress as some of the affected leaves have started to 'taco' slightly.
At this point it looks like the XXXs are over a week ahead of the other ladies in the tent in terms of flower phase.
Ps I also moved the ladies around to adjust for their height differences.

#2 and her clones smell like Hawaiian punch. #1 smells similar but also more piney/spicy. Both plants have been recovering from the light stress but the burnt bits do not look pretty. Thankfully I adjusted the lights quickly. I also noticed that both clones have been reaching away from the light due to light stress. I am nervous to see how they react to the secondary-optic blurple LEDs in the long-run.
Both plants are getting very chunky and starting to really frost up. I can't believe this is how these ladies look so early, making me think they are near their halfway point.
Both plants have a runoff PPM of 1200-1400 with 600ppm going in. They look a little sunburnt, but enjoying life nonetheless.
@Tater3333, I'm just expecting a few beans now at the least. Hopefully she doesnt get fully seeded. Herm was directly next to both xxx ladies, OF COURSE... Ive still got 3-4 weeks left, so we will see... removed the one pollen-sac i could find, but it already dropped pollen. This herm lady had a male-parts grow inside of female calyx. Tricky mofo. I plucked most of them, but there will always be that one....
My xxx#2 smells more acidic and gassy but still fruity, but my #1 is full on fruit punch with tropical vibes. XXX seems very stable though, as far as intersex traits go.
@Hotcrossbuns, oh no..So your thoughts are it will herm the rest? I had that happen on 10th planet but it never got to the rest of the girls. Hope it all works out for ya! Im getting closer to that smell....
@Hotcrossbuns, I can see the end game gene is strong, they are very nice looking. I have 5 clones going from mine, I grabbed them early and just brought them along in cottage cheese tubs. No topping but they are kicking right along. Hoping for a big ole pineapple shaped cola on the top. ๐
