Chemdog D S1 (Humboldt CSI)

Fed her 10tbsp of craft blend as well as another compost tea. I think this may be the last feeding as I've only got another 3 weeks to go. She's continuing to fill out nicely and her buds are fattening up with new pistils growing out all over. She's developing good frost, although not as much frost as the Lemon Orange. She looks like she will need another 3 weeks unlike the Lemon Orange which looks closer to being finished. I plan on harvesting both plants at the same time, so the Lemon may have to go an extra week which is okay. I have not looked at her trichomes yet as its still a bit early. Her nugs seem to have average density, however she is producing buds down the entire length of her stems. She will definitely be a decent yielder. Her aroma is still pretty weak unfortunately though and I'm assuming that she will be this way at harvest. If she hasn't developed a super strong smell yet, she probably won't in the next three weeks. Pinching the sugar leaves and smelling the fingers I get a very muted and weak smell. Its almost like a lemon funk mixed with a tennis ball or something. Not nearly as aromatic as the Lemon Orange. I am a bit disappointed with the aroma but aroma isn't everything, so hopefully she turns out to be a good smoke. I guess we will find out after harvest. 😀 Nothing wrong with the plant other than there are a few fan leaves dying off towards the bottom of the canopy. This is fine as it allows more air and light to the bottom. I should really take more leaves off a bit more aggressively as she is still very bushy and there are many fan leaves blocking airflow and light towards the middle and bottom of the plant. I'm not too worried about budrot for the Lemon Orange but the Chemdog D is definitely at a higher risk due to how bushy she is. Temps have risen in the tent this week, topping around 85f. I would turn the de-humidifier off but if I do I get above 60% RH which is a big no-no. I really, REALLY don't want temps to be that high, but its a necessary evil to complete this grow. One day I'll build out a proper lung room with proper climate control but for now this will have to do. 😀 I'm going to say that this grow is a success. Hopefully this statement isn't premature as I've still got a few weeks left, but I should be fine (crossing my fingers for no mold). Definitely love this style of organic growing and I'm going to continue to do it from now on. See you next week for the last few weeks of the grow. 👍
