The defoliation at this point was very spontanious, I was rather planning to cut 1-2 yellowing leaves for good looks, but decided that a little more could benefit the light distribution towards the smaller buds and went all the way with it. Thrown 1 ml of Alg-A- Mic to the nutrients to keep her vibes high and thats about it. That was on the last day of the 6 flowering week.
Now it's waiting time 😄
@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.
