She’s almost ready. One more week probably.
Day 82: Sad news: bud rot on top bud. Cut it off, trimmed quickly, cut in pieces and put in dry and relatively hot (45 deg) conditions. Some buds were severely damaged, white fluffy substance on leaves and between small branches. The cola was so dense, no air could ever penetrate the branches. The most damaged spot was moist. Need to rebuild the air circulation.
Spots and traces on leaves like from insects. Checked with microscope, no larvae or nymphs visible, even on the underside of the leaves. Could this be non-insects related issue?
I think the jury is out... could just be the wonkiness of first leaves which can show weird markings, weird shapes, weird colors... I don't think I'm seeing anything on the newer leaves so I'd just wait it out - BUT if you want to be prepared for anything in the thrips/spidermites/aphids/whiteflies category (always good to do), you can get some Spinosad or Dr. Zymes Eliminator for leaf sucking insects and some BT for leaf chewing/eating bugs... All are organic so use without worry.
Good luck!
@Civicgrows, this one has skunky taste and aroma, but not old school. It’s also a bit fruity. But the aftertaste is really close to good old skunk. I only tested one small bud. Definitely the harvested and properly dried ones will be much more tasty.
