Being sativa dominant, some if the buds ended up airy though most of them significantly more dense than the first run of these genetics. Even though they are still a bit over-dried, terp content is much more present. Still getting a somewhat citrus + gas smell and confirmed taste from the early finisher who was harvested probably a week too late and lost some terpene strength. Easy to grow with interesting phenotypes!
Really enjoyed the run! Thanks for hanging out, I said most of what I wanted to say above but have some final comments. Joan may have been harvested only slightly early but I think her terps are gonna be crazy! Was very strongly sweet smelling when harvested so I have high hopes. She is going to get a full 30-day cure so we have yet to enjoy her. Was very pleased to go the full grow without pests or parasites/disease. Learned some lessons for next grow, which has already begun germinating; stay tuned! 😁
Performed a hefty feeding last night. Humidity in the tent has been higher than usual and seems to have a tendency to climb. Hoping it’s just been the rainy weather and that it won’t be as bad come flower time.
I wanted to add from this morning's update that the smell is getting stronger, already quite pungent somewhat 'skunky' smell when entering tent. Stem rub smells are much more complex, each pheno taking on different properties. I'll speak more of the scent particularities later when we're hitting flower.
@Lemonhazelover, Thank you for commenting! I'm very proud of them and though I still have some learning to do, they have responded very well to my nurture 😀
Small update: both plants have been chopped, one has completed dry and was just trimmed last night. Jane was over-dry for sure, likely even started drying in the pot before harvest but this is the result of only having one tent to dry with; having to chop Jane late and Joan early. Will post harvest update once Joan is trimmed and weighed 🙂
Wanted to add a couple notes: THE SMELLS omg they're amazing. When entering the tent, you get punched with the skunkiness of this lineage; getting closer and smelling Jane's flowers reveals gassy citrus candy, imagine orange Skittles with fumes 😍
Loupe arrived so I can do less invasive trichome checks. May not be any trichome pics next week but expect extra the following week as harvest will likely be very near.
