Sorry for the delay in this week's update! Had to wait and make sure #2 was good to go before updating in case I had to cut her down. There was some concern that pheno #2 had stem rot after seeing some dark coloration at the base of the stem. May have just been slight stain from soil as she seems to still be growing. Pheno #2 might be a bit thirstier than #1 but that will become more apparent after transplant. My though is that transplant needs to occur this week. In all likelihood, the next update will happen sometime after transplant. I'm prepping soil tonight so it has time to fully dry before transplanting and will update you then! Thanks again for checking out my grow. Things are about to really take off going forward so stay tuned! :)
@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!
