The last of the new autoflower strains from Sweet Seeds for me this year - although I've still got a couple more Orange Apricots and Mimosa Banners to germinate.
Another tough week - still experiencing good days up to the afternoon and then torrential downpours for the evening.
Temperatures are good and plants do seem okay in general - there's been a massive shift between week 4 and 5 - They're starting to really take shape now.
Added Bio Bizz Cal Mag to nutrients
Another week, another downpour.
Mostly stable weather - but now it's climbing rapidly with temps expected to exceed the 30s this weekend. So it's a race against time at this point - and this is why it's best to plant autos late April in this zone.
I'm not sure, but I think I'm discovering the joys of cal mag this year. Never used it before - and just adding 1ml per litre - and using once a week. But is this the magic nectar that makes plants super fat? Either that or the regular sprays of Fish Mix on the leaves every evening. But I'm leaning towards the cal mag. Something is certainly different this year - yields are looking like they'll be a lot higher across the board :)
A super hot week with moderate humidity during the night.
Interesting to compare all these plants to see how much genetics plays a roll in things. All plants are treated equally, but they're not all guaranteed to come out the same - with all sorts of shapes and sizes.
It has been many months now and I've finally opened a vac-sealed pack of this lovely Sweet Seeds strain.
It did have some wonderful colours when it was in the flowering stage - subtle pink/purple hues on the leaves. I've captured some of it on video but it's more impressive in person as the camera never really does justice to plants (from my experience)
As for the taste and the high?
100% piney, earthy taste - which I find is typical of the 'purple' strains that I've grown in the past. I personally lean towards a fruitier/sweeter taste, but this makes a nice change every now and then. It vapes incredibly smoothly. almost too smooth :)
The high certainly packs a solid punch - cerebral and heavy-hitting but also mellow enough not to be too intense. I can't test it but, at a guess, around 20-25% THC.
If you like the purple variety - this was an easy grow with nice results - which would have been higher if I'd had better luck with the weather earlier on. It's certainly good for outdoors in a mediterranean climate.
@NearlyDeadGrows, Good luck with the grow! I've grown a few 'purple' varieties and, honestly, the Red Mimosa was very, very nice - and probably the best for taste/high so far. I have a really purple F1 Tropicana Poison ready soon - I will update the diary in the next few days.
@NearlyDeadGrows, It's always hard to tell in videos/photos - but the calyxes' have swollen and there's a lot of fox tailing going on. I also checked the trichomes under a microscope :)
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks! I just hope the weather improves... lots of hot morning, early afternoon - then really bad storms. It's been like this for almost two weeks.
Just keep hoping it will get better.
Thanks for making the most amazing seeds :)
