buds starting to show real well. Still seeing a bit of paleness on terminal buds that the camera doesn't quite capture too well. Contemplating another Epsom salt drench. Added a humidifier cause it's getting HOT hot.
Starting to smell very nice when you disturb it. Opening the tent, the smell is weak. Nugs are looking very tight but quite small.
Losing some bottom leaves to yellowing. Has been a consistent theme with biobizz, not sure what I'm doing wrong with them.
Gave her a heavy defoliation. Smells absolutely wonderful. Dominant earthy smell with citrus in the background.
Trichomes are looking mostly cloudy to clear, most of the amber I see is on the leaves. She's in the home stretch. Will likely stop feeding her at this point and start giving her just some neutral water for the last week or two.
Buds turning a nice golden brown. Can cut anyway I reckon. Will harvest when I get a chance.
This plant has ended up surprising me and I honestly have no idea how it'll yield and the quality. Tent is extremely hot due to the type of light so I think that explains the somewhat weak smell. Disturbing the plant though, lots of lemon and earthy notes. I think this will be quite enjoyable.
I really do intend to revisit this another time cause I think I didn't give this one a fair shake in terms of health and growing conditions.
Giving her only water from now on.
I have not had a chance to try it yet as I have only just jarred it . Buds are extremely dense and the yield is somewhat surprising given how tiny it looks after drying. Unfortunately the heat is picking up in that tent but despite that, the plant remained very visually healthy.
Luckily, disturbing the plant still gave off plenty of citrus and earthy smells with the latter being the predominant smell. The earthy smell I can only describe as a cross between pine and clove, absolutely wonderful. The citrus blends real well too.
Very sticky during harvest, I wet trimmed most of it by hand just taking off the fan leaves. I cut off most of the ends of the sugar leaves while fresh too however I did not trim them like a dispensary would. I leave the sugar leaves that are heavy on the trichomes as they do not bother me. Sue me :D
The weight is dry, not wet. Didn't take wet measurement.
I will try to edit this once I try it a couple times. 8/10 as a plant, absolutely beautiful sativa like, just what the doctor ordered 😁. I think this could be a 9 or even a 10 in the right hands, hence why I wish to revisit. I think I didn't do her justice.
EDIT:
I will write this as I try this strain for the second time. Opening the jar and taking a whiff, very spicy smelling right off the bat. Not a hot spicy but more like a herbal spicy, kinda like that kick in the nose you get from smelling strong pine or lemongrass essential oil. That kinda herbal spice. The pine really makes sense as this plant had a predominantly earthy smell during flower.
Picking the nugs, all of them are absolutely rock hard, down to the smallest popcorn bud. Truly representative of what I know and read about sativa bud structure. Buds are admittedly small however I suspect that better growing conditions could have improved this considerably. Breaking open the nugs, you finally start to smell the citrus. More lemon-y than anything else but very discreet and blends very well with the earthy notes. Have to comment once again about the bud structure, it really is one of the densest I've seen of the homegrown category.
Grinds real easy, the moisture on the buds are perfect for grinding. Opening the grinder and taking a whiff, the spicy/earthy smell has a sort of anise aroma to it. It really is quite unique smelling and I have to wonder how much stronger smelling this plant can get in cooler conditions. Ground down, the bud looks whiter than some other types of bud I'm currently enjoying. Smell is very inviting.
Lighting up, Cheers!
Just like the first time, I'm immediately getting a spicy zing in the back of the mouth/beginning of the throat. It is a very pleasant peppery spiciness in terms of taste which is a departure from the spiciness in the smell as it is a more piney, herbal spicey. The best way I can describe it is how certain Cigars tend to develop a spicy note after the first half or last quarter. It is EXACTLY that sort of spicy. It really is quite wonderful. I can sort of still get a whiff of citrus sometimes but I'm not getting much of it in the taste, if any. I'm finding it very relaxing however take this with a heavy pinch of salt as I have smoked three different strains today, it's currently past midnight and I had a massive dinner. Probably shouldn't be smoking Sativas but I digress. The point is I am likely the worst person to tell you what the effects of a strain are but my last surviving brain cells are quite enjoying this strain at this moment in time.
Halfway through it, that spiciness is really something. Really really nice. Very cigar like in that spicy mouth feel kind of way, like I already said. Definitely taking the spiciness to 11. Sometimes a cigar can get so spicy that your face below your eyes and around your nose starts sweating, that's exactly the taste I am getting with this.
I would say it's very nice and spicy
if I didn't do so 50 times already so I'll just bugger off. Good evening and thanks for reading my rambling review of this strain.
4/5 smoke, would try again.
Finally harvest time. Heat has been uncontrollable in this tent due to the suboptimal placing in the apartment, the season and the style of light I had at my disposal.
In the end, this plant has surprised me. It has not been worth it as a grow purely due to how long it took in veg however this seems like a wonderful variety. I feel like every problem this plant had was my doing or entirely preventable in better conditions. I hope to revisit this one but who knows?
Despite the very small size of the plant, it ended up filling up incredibly nice and the buds have been the densest I've had yet from the handful of indoor grows I've done so far. Ended up yielding 100g dry which is more than I thought it would yield back when it was in the end of veg but it did end up looking real nice in the end of flower.
Cut the plant in quarters and hung as is after a heavy wet trim. It's been relatively dry here with averages in the 50-60%, my humidifier didn't even start a single time. I tested the stems 5-6 days after hanging and they all cracked audibly.
Removed the majority of the stems and weighed before jarring evenly in three jars. One jar has a hygrometer which I checked 30 minutes later and it had dropped to 59% from 65% ambient. I don't think I should have issues with moisture.
@best_hydro, This one was vegging for a good 13 weeks and seemed a bit slow at the end so I flipped her. Admittedly, I likely topped her too early, too aggressively. My next photo I will not be topping as aggressively cause it's outdoor season and my terrace can handle it :)
Thanks for stopping by!
@Seedsman, Thank you!
She's doing better now after last week's Epsom salt application.
Thanks for stopping by! Will keep updating the diary so come back in a few weeks time :D
