The buds are nice and frosty and smell great. She finished better that I expected. An 8 cola manifold after a nearly disastrous start where a bird or something damaged tha apical growth tip. She recovered and grew tall with lots of bud sites on side branches. Better final yield and bud quality than I expected with the late finish under weak sun. Looking forward to smoking this one.
This plant was phyto-forced using a 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk each night during flowering. This puts the plant in dark mode two hours earlier and is like having a 26 h day. Great trick for northern growers because it moves up flowering by 2-3 weeks which means stronger sunlight during ripening which also helps.
Almost all done as fresh frozen to make hash later, with about 120 g hanging. Final dry equivalent weight based on trimmed wet weight.
@Dutchfem_Seeds, you’re right and point taken, I’ll keep an eye on it…the daytime humidity is always very low (25%)here and I’ve been spraying the leaves a few times a day with city water which is very good but high-ish pH (8+). I keep a 20 L pail of water on the go for the whole garden, to let it degas for a day before use, but sometimes I just mist from the garden hose. Should be okay, but what do you think, should I lower the pH a bit?
@Northern_Ent, at this stage with this plant height they only need about 40ml water per day. The rest of the soil should be dry/moist for best growing condition. Your plants always look awesome so i am sure you will make these a succes too. Cheers! 👌
@Dutchfem_Seeds, thanks for the comment. I’ve made the same observation about other people’s grows too, but I don’t think I’m overwatering. I likely took the pic right after watering.
We have cool overnight temps, and my plants always look small at this stage. Nice weather now and she’ll start growing quickly.
@BudBoutique, thanks. Haven’t tried any yet as I just took it down yesterday. Couple colas hanging to dry but mostly fresh frozen. I need to get an electrician in to set up my freeze dryer and once that happens I’ll be making piatella hash. I have liked Gelatos from other breeders so I’m looking forward to this one.
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
