Rough weather to deal with this week.. savage winds and temps down to 5 and 6 degrees C. PM has also arrived. Got a bit heavy-handed with pollination, particularly on the Runtz which is pretty much all seeds.

Runtz Gluntz got the chop day 75 (mostly.. kept one branch going). A bushy plant with an overload of small thin buds and many leaves. PM took hold rapidly and severely curtailed any hopes of getting the best out of this plant.
Banner #5 has handled the PM a little better and there is some reasonable bud formation but as with the Runtz plant, she has not adapted well to the adversity.
Hells Bells is taking quite a bit longer than the other two and is producing better buds and has a higher resistance to the PM onslaught. This plant has never really presented as a picture of good health and was expected to fare the worst of the lot yet turned out best. In comparison, the other two had an impressive veg. stage and flourished until late flower.
NB. Comments apply to the individual plants grown here on the east coast (South Africa); outdoors during mid-winter, using an unmonitored (no water testing/adjustments) hybrid bio-active DWC setup. They are not representative of their strains grown in a controlled and ideal environment.

Banner #5 ready for harvest. Leaves removed to reveal the goods (see pics). Turned out quite well and much better than expected a week back,
Runtz Gluntz (as mentioned in week 11) was chopped a tad early with one branch spared to demonstrate the small thin buds and overload of leaves (see pic)

Hells Bells OG auto ready for harvest. Proper trim jail nightmare.. much the same as the Runtz plant.
