Week eight is here as of yesterday! HSC states these are around 55 days for flowering period. Hopefully the next update I make here is a harvest update but that's only if she's ready then of course. The purple pheno has made some really beautiful and frosty nugs. All trichomes are milky on both with a few ambers starting to show but I'm gonna wait for more widespread amber trichome coverage until I'm seeing 10-15% or more on both plants before harvesting. :)
I finally did some deep focus stack macro shots of the nugs. All images were 20-60 image stacks with the image of the 3 nugs on the green pheno plant being 65 images and 14 gigabytes of data at one point. I might take some more full canopy shots tomorrow or Monday. My macro lens works great for zooming in and checking on trichome development.
@Trailblazer79, thank you. I've done a good job keeping the VPD in the optimal range for most of the grow so that has likely contributed to them looking so colorful. Despite making numerous rookie grower mistakes the buds are looking very quality - probably 90% due to the breeder selling great genetics haha. :)
@MrLahey,hi bro, definitely check you filter. At this early stage no smell should be coming out. Hope your girls develop nicely and you will have a great harvest πβ¨πβοΈπ
@PapaNugs, haha. Thank you! Iβve been in a perpetual state of excitement and amazement this whole grow lol. I canβt wait until the drying and curing is done! They smell sooooo good already!
And yeah I knew when I bought them that genetics are important. Now for my next few grows I just need to improve on all these rookie mistakes so I can start getting some bigger harvests and actually reach more than like 40% of their genetic potential like I did on this grow. π
Hallo Tolle Arbeit. So ein Tip. Nimm nenn Karton, mache ein paar lΓΆcher rein und trockne im Zelt erstmal die besten Buds. Dann kΓΆnnen sich die anderen noch Entwickeln. Dann hast du das beste Ernteergebniss.
@A_Stoned_Llama, ty! I cut them last week and I'm on day 8 of drying right now. 60-62 degrees and 55-62 RH. Just waiting for another few - 8 days until they're fully dry before I update. Yield will be small but quality looks to be really on point!
@PapaNugs, thank you! Thanks to grow diaries, especially Humboldt Seed Co, reddit and youtube content creators it seems I've kept these beautiful plants alive to harvest despite all my rookie grower mistakes lol. I've been so happy with the plants so far. Can't wait to germinate these Hella Jelly seeds next. :)
