This week was the first time the strain rewarded me with an unexpected thick sugary grape aroma.
This was quite unexpected! Unexpected for an cannabis strain that is!
I was quite suprised to be quite honest. I did not expected that kind of clean and distinct fruit aromas from a cannabis strain.
On this point in the grow I made my peace with the size of the plant, a potentially moderate crop and potentially lower thc levels (low for me, but thats what I have signed for when growing this skittlez variation I quess) because I'm pretty sure this strain is gonna be unlike anything I have smoked before when it comes to its terpene profile, and that is very liberating right now. I mean at the end of the day that was the goal for me and I took my time when selecting it:
A strain that has some medical benefits and an exquisit taste and aroma rather than high thc levels and an cerebral high. Which I usualy both prefer.
This one has exotic vibes and a aroma that sounded good on paper but in reality is nothing less than delightful, so far. Very delicate though.
I highly recommend this strain when for various reasons the smell is of a big concern. I could imagine that this is a great strain for stealth grows and small grow spaces.
@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.
