Week 6 Flower:
๐ก No change to intensity or height
๐ฟ Top watered 1 gallon 1x (with Saponin, BuildaBloom, Coconut powder)
๐ง 2 gallons 1x every 2 days (via EB resevoirs)
๐ด KashiBloom with light covering of Buildaflower
Details:
Gave a light feeding due to the curled tips from the last feeding not fully correcting. Ran out of Buildaflower topdress so I gave a light covering with the KashiBloom. I have ordered replacements for amendments but I can't add much more anyways, the EB's are overflowing.
They started to really chunk up. They don't smell very strong or like anything in particular when just opening the tent or in the lung room. A typical light flowering smell.
But if I tuck a leaf and rub up against some sugar leaves or just grab a nose full of a bud, Holy Shit.
The aroma is beautiful. It's a light, soft, like sweet and creamy but not fruity or sugary smell. It's just this amalgamation of scents that I can't pinpoint, that come together to form this lovely aroma. I think I just said "oh wow," and sat there smelling my gloves and the buds for 5 minutes after the first time I got a whiff.
They both smell like this, but of course it's NBP2 that smells the strongest and most unique. I have successfully cloned these and the clone that did survive from NBP2 is just tall and super lanky and reaching, while the clones from NBP1 have stayed nice and uniform looking.
I am not looking forward to it, but I will attempt to keep NBP2's clone alive in case it's "the one". But it would have to stand out so much to overcome how it was to grow so far.
3 More weeks based on their parents approximate flower time. I will be watching the color, and size of trichome heads going forward.
Whole bunch of these guys living on my soil (BuildaSoil 3.0, second run - re-amended).
They aren't messing with the stalk or plants, can't see the roots obviously though.
I hope and assume some kind of predator mite but there are a metric buttload of these little bastards.
OH those are hypoaspis miles :) AKA Stratiolaelaps scimitus. These are predator mites! They feed on the bad bugs like spider mites, root aphids, and fungus gnats. Its a strong indication that you have a healthy echo system going. Some people even pay to have these bugs placed in their gardens.
One plant's fan leaves are building trichomes, but it has more fan leaves than the other plant & they are needing to be tucked daily.
Both plants never had issues with the previous defoliating. 3-4 wks left before chop day.
So, would you defoliate one last time?
If you wanna know for sure, pluck one off and split it open- male pollen sac will have 5 or so banana shape anthers inside there. Female bracts will just be empty basically with sometimes a tiny little ball which is the ovule
@Ezzjaybruh, Thanks for the follow-up, I appreciate it. I think I just panicked a bit since It took me 5 minutes before I found another one like it. But I appreciate the info for the future.
Though I may check it this weekend anyways, impulsive tendencies over here.
Try Grove bags for curing my man, they're fool proof. I used them for the first time and curing was so easy. No need to burp, just stays at 58-62%. Your plants look great brother, nice work on them!
