Oh baby. Colours are starting to come in with the cool night air (17c). Nice shades of red and purple throughout and the smell is absolutely mouth watering. Grapes and gas with a bit of peppery spice on the nose. On the last run the two phenos smelled like blueberry baked goods.
Instead of increasing fertilizer this week, I'm dropping it down to 1.0 (from 1.8). I'm guessing harvest will be closer to 8 weeks than 9 based on trichomes, so I doubt there's going to be any measurable increase in flower size at this point. Makes more sense to start starving her off and do a long flush to get the best aroma and flavor out of her. Starting the week with Overdrive, Precision Bloom and CM+ and ending with a few waterings with Humates (Fulvic/humic acid) to help absorb nutrients in the substrate. Flush next week.
@Louder,Ya, He put on quite the show, between him and bucky we have the net covered really good. Another WIN last night😀, hope we can replicate tonight..
Merry Christmas!!
@northernMike, Thanks! Hoping to see her really bulk up the next week or so. Wanted to snip the little lower branches off but now I'm afraid I'll stress her out and herm her too lol
@Louder, I'll stick to auto's for the remainder of this year just so I have some herb to smoke this summer and next fall I'll start a few photo's, can't wait, got my strains all picked out already, all sativa except for one.
Have yourself a great day!!!
@northernMike, It's kind of a trade-off right? You can get really consistent results growing the same strain over and over but then you have no variety! I'm getting wildly different results just using different breeders. My method is pretty static but yields are all over the place. Not mention some plants herming but not others in the same room (might have a cold spot).
Gah, Nashville ...we looked tired after the first period. Both goalies were unreal. Let's get the next one!
@Louder,I get a lot of variety, but the consistency is not there, every plant seems a bit different than the one before. Next fall I'm going to grow some photoperiods with a couple autos just for some variety. I'll probably grow a couple of autos outside this summer, kinda plant and forget because I won't be home all that much.
Nashville tonight, should be a good game👍..
Later.
@Dilphoducus, you might have found a planet of the grapes pheno...I think that was listed as a pheno of member berry on the Ethos site. POTG is a parent in the 10th planet strain so that's probably where the similarities in aromas come from.
@Dilphoducus, I've still got a few beans of this 10th Planet and a couple Banana Daddy R1 left to run before I order Ethos again. So hard to choose. Got a fairly large order from the UK on the way (if royal mail comes through). Fingers crossed
