Such a great week for Jane. She's praying up to the light at all hours and is just soaking it all in. Rounding out week one of flower I'm very happy with her production; already feeling sticky in lower bud sights with solid resin production. The scent is definitely taking on a sweet aroma but will change some towards the end of flower. Joan is still showing to be a bushy freak, so many branches in all directions; seems like she's going to be a strong yielder. I watered Jane yesterday with 1/2 tablespoon of unsulfured molasses, gave a little to Joan as well though not much. This is of course to feed the microbes in the soil. Will be defoliating Joan likely next week as she's going to enter full-on flower soon. Been very impressed with these ladies and even though they're shorter likely due to overwatering as seedlings stunted growth, they'll harvest nicely I'm confident. At this stage, neither plant needs a whole lot of work, mostly coasting now until we're closer to harvest. Thanks for checking out my grow!
Performed a hefty feeding last night. Humidity in the tent has been higher than usual and seems to have a tendency to climb. Hoping itโs just been the rainy weather and that it wonโt 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 ๐
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 ๐
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 ๐
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.
