Both plants still doing well. The photos are from roughly day 14 from germination (using the oldest plant for the time basis for simplicity). Pheno #1 leaf development is wild already, very happy to see that. I’m confident #2 will start going heavy for leaves as well shortly.
@Hempface86, Thank you! This is the worst I've had them yet as a newbie, hitting the leaves and soil with diluted hydrogen peroxide daily and will have sticky traps arriving today sometime. That should hopefully help me get a handle of it 😬
Another trichome check for BB #1. She seems very close, but I feel that another week will do some good in allowing any more bud-swell to occur while also letting the trichomes to further ripen. Lower branches thankfully seem to have at least become mostly cloudy but with very little amber. The tops are pretty amber-heavy, a helpful indicator that we are very close. I'm going to raise the light another approximate inch in order to give the tops a break, I'm hoping to avoid a 40-50% amber ratio. I'd guess we are at 15-20% now so that should be easy to avoid. Expect a harvest update next week with more photos and comments added as I sample throughout cure!
