START OF WEEK
I'm coming to terms with the hermie situation. I'm not seeing any more nanners, but I am starting to see the end of the grow and that's exciting. I'm still feeding at just under 1100ppm, and heavy on the PK side. N was cut from the mix about 10 days ago. The fade has begun on TJ, and the HL is starting to show signs, too. Both Chimera's are seemingly going to be longer finishers, and while the stunted one is producing a reasonable amount of trichomes, the buds are not fattening like her sisters. And, her sisters girth is nothing to write home about. I'm mainly planning on washing both those plants into bubble, so it's all about the resin.
The terp profiles of each is off the freaking charts. As they're all related strains, they share similar nose characteristics. Chief among the aroma profiles are funky mushroom, jet fuel, dirty sock but in a pleasing way, tropical fruit, citrus, and a gentle touch of butt. I'm serious. The TJ smells of lemon, gasoline, with a touch of it. Sounds gross? You. are. wrong. It is wonderful with its contradictions. If you like the smell of stinky blue cheese, you'll get what I'm saying.

END OF WEEK
R.I.P. S44 Ionboard. On the last day of the week, and after a six month run, she gave out. That light lived hard, and it died fast. Within the first two days of ownership, I reached out to AC Infinity support to inquire about the blistering hot driver and if it was normal. I was told it was, and it carried on, but I always had a feeling it was a little too hot and now I think I was right, but what a tremendous pain in the ass. I'm in the last two weeks with no plans for another immediate grow, and now I'm confronted with unanticipated work and unforeseen bills. Sahhh-weeet
These plants are tall, and I'm a one man show, and now I need to yank the dead light, and move the small light into the middle, and give these ladies a cloudy day 56 of flower. This is how I ended week 8, with that, and an email to AC infinity support.
@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 !!
