The scent is still mild, but clearly discernable - the dominant note is pine. Overall it's a very fresh, light scent. Terps are continuing to cloud, more amber on the sugar leaves but none on the buds yet. The buds appear frosty and are very sticky. The breeder puts the flowering time ending next week so I'm thinking I'll harvest sometime within the next 2 weeks.
In the spirit of experimentation and impatience, I lopped off a couple of small buds, tossed them outside to dry in the brutal desert sun, then into the volcano. They smelled like grass clippings and got me completely baked. Overall I think I'm going to be thrilled with the harvest and yield despite over feeding.
@Gejlord, Yes! You're absolutely right. I made the mistake of initially underfeeding them, and then over-corrected and overfed and burned them. Yield/growth has been substantially affected because of that. On the plus side I know what PPM I should be targeting and dialed it in on the other grow I have going right now.
Hell yes on flipping to flower. On my Apex R1s I've been feeding at 1700-1800 EC in coco and they still seem hungry. Seeing the first trichomes! Looking forward to how your grow turns out!
I have definitely noticed that Apex R1 seems to be lighter in general on its leaves. Keep an eye on pH as well, I had a pH problem early on that I ironed out but am still dealing with the consequences.
@ThaDollaGenerale, Thanks! After the dry and cure all of mine smell like pine trees. I love it and I'm very pleased with the overall result. I saw you chopped yours too - I'm eager to hear what the final product is like!
