Photos taken on day 56 of flowering (last day of week 8 of flowering)
We are entering the last week as planned. Today is day 57 of flowering, day 50 for the London Pound Cake X Zoap. Since last week, all the plants have gained a lot more trichomes. Nasha's Fat Freddy's Cat is becoming more and more purple, Mimosa X Orange Punch is becoming more and more peachy and London Pound Cake X Zoap is turning a light shade of pink. Meanwhile, the larger leaves around the tubers are already curling with resin and the smell in the tent is very intense. Only water is used. Some plants have an incredible resin production and some flowers are still swelling, which can be seen in the light green areas of the otherwise dark flowers. Some plants look more mature than others, but that's the way it is when you use seeds. Temperature is still around 25 degrees during the day and around 19 at night. One Fat Freddy's Cat plant has developed an 'albino tip', which according to my information it can be genetic, for example when plants are backcrossed for recessive traits and can be due to environmental factors such as growing too close to a powerful lamp, which is also the case here. However, only this one plant has this trait and it is only particularly pronounced on one tip and less pronounced on another.
I only gre the Mimosa x Orange Punch once. Really strong orange and citrus smell, but lacking in taste. The high was extremly strong though, not for everyday, because my head and body became like jelly. She was sativa leaning with a near endless ceiling for effects. Didn't want to grow her again, cause the structure was far off from what i expected. Seeing all those nice looking versions makes me want to give her another chance though.
@Flipsie, Of the three seeds I had, each plant had a slightly different pheno, though all had an extreme smell, with 2 having clearly lost terpenes after drying. It still smelled strong, but no longer tasted like much (but still good). I also have to say that proper drying was key. The plants that I didn't hang up for a long time and instead cured in Curing Bags for a few weeks, were much more flavorful and also harder.
Also I had the feeling that by growing organically with BioTabs and a few things from Almicanna, all the plants generally had a very good flavor and flower structure.
@DeadJoke, thank's mate 🙏🏼
Yes, the photos were taken on the last day of the 7th week of flowering. So far I'm really impressed with BioTabs! The plants have developed very well right from the start. The large pots also contribute to this, of course.
