DAY 86 25.8.2023 I've been looking at the plant with a small pocket microscope, looking at the trichomes, and only a few are milky. More are clear. My guess is another 10-14 days and I'll be harvesting. No mold yet. I can't describe the smell. It smells like skunk blueberries with a little pepper, an earthy note I guess.
@Mrs_Larimar, So am I! I've grown Strawberry Banana Auto once before and ranked it #1 in terms of appearance, amount of resin and scent. A really beautiful variety and I recommend it to everyone.
I appreciate the smoke review comment. I have grown 6 of these baby's and every one has a different pheno SMH. Honestly I have trouble knowing when mine is ready. She spits out lots of purple trichomes which make it hard to gauge. Can't tell if the purple is a form of ambering or not.
Nice work! I understand the fear of frost. I've been keeping bud-rot at bay with a portable heater outdoors (obviously insulated from natures elements).
That purple is fire, great stuff!
@yan402, Yes, I will. I am happy that I grew the plant without the mould infestation that I encounter every year. But I do have one tip for resistant genetics and that is Runtz XL Auto from Sweet Seeds and it has never had mildew.
