Week #10-Mar 3 to Mar 9
3/5-Buds are really starting to fatten up and are sticky with sweet smelling resin.
3/9-Solid week of bud development. Buds have gotten very dense, frosty, and sticky. My last MS grow netted damn near 7 ounces dry and was twice as tall as this one. Even though this Mango Smile plant is half the size of my last grow the big colas are ridiculously fat which makes predicting a final yield tough. I'm hoping that I can get at least 4 ounces dry weight. My last grow harvested on Day 72. Based on a day to day comparison of my last grow at 70 days this grow looks to be a week to 10 days behind that schedule. There are still quite a few white pistils that have not turned orange and the buds have not fully tightened up. The microscope photos show the trichomes are cloudy but not turning amber just yet. Based on what I'm seeing I think she'll be ready for flushing in 3-5 days and harvest 4-5 days later. Let's see how we do.
