Day 36-42
Topped her on day 40 to stop the two main branches from getting ahead of the others. Planning on vegging her for about two more weeks.
Did some lst on day 41 and walked in on a snapped branch the next day. Some of the worst pain for a grower...
She didn't snap during training so I think she broke herself while trying to get back up.
Day 43-49
Noticed some Pistils on day 46. Thought I didn't see right, but I messed up the light cycle in the ACinfinity app.
I changed the light schedule to 20/4 to stop flower, will go back to 18/6 after one week. I guess this grow is getting some sort of experiment...
Deep pain
Day 50-56
Leaves darkened back on day 52, so I think she successfully stopped her flowering. Will veg her for the rest of this week and probably start flower on day 57.
Day 57-63
Decreasing the day length by 45 minutes every day until I reach 12 hours of light. Hoping that this will minimize the effect of her stress through cancelling flower.
Did a heavy defoliation on day 59.
Day 64-70
Did another heavy defoliation to free any branches growing into the center. Also lollipopped most branches facing outwards. Want to create a Crater with the big cholas as outer rim and smaller branches as floor.
Day 99-105
She's absolutely packed with trichomes but missing size. Perfectly healthy with really dark leaves. Looks like she is going to take reeally long.
Solid strain.
Grows large and thick fan leaves during veg, which seem to really support her stretch getting her to at least double in size.
During flower her fan leaves significantly shrink and she stacks relatively short, sativa structured buds. The buds unfortunately stay pretty small but are absolutely covered with trichomes and suuper sticky. Had another Raspberry Parfait growing, which had the exact same structure.
The scent is amazing. This particular plant smelled incredibly sweet and slightly fruity. Couldn't help but associate it with the smell of Monster Energy. 9.5/10
The only real mistake was the snapping of a branch early on, but her long veg time definitely made up for it.
The long veg was mostly caused by a light schedule mistake, which almost made her flower prematurely. To let her recover, she got 2 more weeks of veg than anticipated. All this time was almost completely wasted though, since she stretched so much and wasn't able to stack on larger buds.
Considering her long life she was somewhat of a disappointment in yield, but not in terps.
Also let her live longer than necessary, but I never had a plant get this old before so it needed to happen at some point.
All in all I think this strain is mostly good for growing outdoors or in larger spaces without good lighting.
Amazing for trying special terps, but don't expect great indoor yield ratios.
**Smoke review edit:
**
Smelled absolutely beautiful after cure, with a deep sweetness and a lot of fruit coming out. By far the best terps I ever had. Didn't really transfer to the smoke though.
Hey How are the terps developing in the cure? I'm week 4 flower with my Raspberry Parfait and the smell from the sugar leaves is incredibly fruity and strong.
Thanks for reminding me, I wanted to edit the smoke review for quite some time now. During cure she absolutely overwhelmed with sweet and fruity terps. By far the best smelling strain I have ever grown. I gotta say though, that it didn't fully transfer to the smoke. Maybe rosin or hash would be better at catching the taste.
You can definitely be excited for what is about to come! Happy growing :)🌱
@Stony_German, thank you! That's true, 2 weeks of flower have passed and she hasn't stretched too much. But she also didn't develop buds yet so I think she still has quite a way to go.
