With no detrimental effects from the defoliation work, and the environment falling in line for flowering, the only thing left for me to do is slight de-leafing, and some tie downs to the trellis here and there to make sure the tops are being covered by the lights. I added a smaller 100W light into the tent to better cover the Tricho, as the primary light was moved to accommodate the runty Chimera a little better. The additional heat is manageable, and actually a little helpful with regards to VPD and CO2 absorption.
The plants are starting to get stinky, and I'm loving that. The flowers are starting to come together nicely. They're not going to be huge colas, and this was absolutely expected. Each of these ladies has White Truffle as the primary genetic contributor, and that lady is all about small, beautiful, tight, and resin packed clusters of perfect buds. I love those so much more than super dense donkey d's. The resin to plant material ratio is just so much better with the bud formations of these genetics.
@Don_Vitamini, Thanks for pointing that out, but thankfully it's not. Just weird camera focus with quite a similar shape and color. Had me scared there for a minute ;) I'll post a follow-up of that same site.
You've got yourself a fantastic run man, Beleaf genetics can be rewarding if done right, and you got it right, rock on ,wish there was smellivision lol !!
