Turgor72 Small happy plant, stem rub smells fruity with a touch of fuel.

Turgor72 Such a pretty little plant. She is starting to pull from herself, so I have top dressed with Worm castings and continue to add ferments to her water. I don’t want her to lack nutrients whilst she is bulking. The smell is more noticeable now and you know how some say “the nose knows”, well my nose is telling me I will enjoy consuming this lol. Despite pulling from herself she is drinking a little more, so I guess I still have a good 3 weeks to go…I will keep you posted.

Turgor72 So the first of the pistils are maturing, turning orange and receding. This for me signals the start of the ripening phase. Light intensity has been reduced air circulation fans are on for 15 minutes every hour and the exhaust fan is on 24/7. The plant smells strong. I would say the flower predominant terpene is myrcene with its ripe mango fruit and body odour smell….lovely. The fuel smell is muted at the moment but there is a slight pineapple sweet smell developing. I’ve got to admit I got behind on this plants needs and whilst I’m happy the plant is depleting the chlorophyll from it leaves efficiently it started a little too early. This will result in a reduced yield. I’m not mad though I have still managed to farm trichomes galore on this frosty AF plant. Next grow I will be mindful that if I do not use bottled nutrients I will need to increase the pot size and possibly increase the compost content of the grow medium to meet the needs of the plant. So I predict about 10 days from now this plant will just simply stop drinking and be ready for harvest. However no need to flush, in fact I’m going to continue to add ferments to the water…I welcome your thoughts on this. The terpene profile of these plants fascinate me but I really don’t have the vocabulary to describe them. Those of you that have grown the BPP, what do you think the terpene profile is?

Turgor72 So I started this grow with thoughts of no till, closed loop, regenerative gardening….I was all out of Biobizz nutrients🤣. I made Jadaim Nettle and Comfrey ferments and put my trust in worm castings. I have produced a small but very frosty, super smelly plant. I bottom watered 5% of soil volume when dry and misted the top to keep it moist. I top fed every two weeks with a couple of handfuls of worm castings. I low stressed trained the plant at first sign of pistils and that’s it. Super easy grow. So the only negative is the super small plant. However it’s all relative growing in a little over a ft2 area with just 25 watts, means that 25 grams is a 1 gram/watt ratio. This is fine by me. Now the only thing I like doing as much as growing is consuming. I will update you with the smoke report, well vape report, when the buds have dried. Thanks for following along, grow with love✌️
