I'll have to say the plant takes HST very well! Unlike with the 2 previous grows I didn't broke any branches! Didn't had that happen before, I snapped bigger branches with a lot less pressure on them! None of them would have taken that amount of "abuse"
This far it is an unrewarding grow although I'll start to value the exotic nature of the strain.
Sure its kind if underwhelming in size and it's time to kiss any hopes of a big crop goodbye.
But the stems have an beautiful cherry hard candy aroma, also of very high quality gum and as weird as it might sound, something really meaty bbg like (i'm a Vegetegarian for over 15 years now so don't take that one for granted ) twice I thought someone was bbq'ing after opening the tent😅
@iSprayBrixx, glad that you like it. My preservations towards this strain are mostly based on the fact that is very different from anything I am used to, but in fact there is nothing much to dislike about it. I think in a best case Scenario it's a connoisseur strain in its purest form. In the worst case it's gonna be a weak a** strain with a faboulous terpene profile and moderate yield. I feel like being tossed in the unknown with this strain 🤨
@Hou_Stone, to be quite honest i was expecting a little more of a rewarding grow with this strain, but she is healthy and that is what counts in my book. I would not go the FIMing route again, I was keen to try out the technique but did not count in the consequences, especially with scrog. I will say though that the strain is very resistant and good with hst.
@Sweet_Seeds, you are very welcome. I took my time to choose this strain after I came across smoking skittlez once. I was looking for something exotic, and with some medical benefits rather than high thc levels, this time. And although i'm still somewhat in a "fear of a weak a** strain" I ll have to admit that the aromas, although quite moderate through out the grow so far, are quite amazing and unexpected in their own right. Finally in the 6 flowering week the strain finally seems to kick up in gears with very sticky, chubby buds with tons of Unbelievably sweet grape aroma. Fingerlicking good so far, for sure. Still skeptical though! We'll see 🤨😄
Today is the last day of the 7 flowering week, so tomorrow I'll have to decide if they are gonna be 8 or 9 weeks of flowering for her. In the case of a 8 week flowering period, tomorrow would be the first day of watering without nutrients for 7-11 days.
Otherwise circa 14+ days until harvest, when aiming for a 9 week flowering period.
