My Island girl has been getting only water for the past week. Wasn’t expecting her to turn colour like she has and wow is it beautiful to see. The colours in the leaves look amazing with the buds glistening with tricombs in the middle. She is much denser and the buds are more packed in then the Blueberry we harvested a 3 weeks ago. The Blueberry was much more leggy, the Island girl is more compact and I suspect that she won’t be far off of Ms. Blueberries dry weight.
With switching to water only the run off’s PPM measurement very quickly dropped and she has drastically turned colour quickly. We have some bell peppers and sunflowers next to her, you can see the drastic difference in colour from just 7 days.
She has a pungent smell of sweet skunk to her, really lives up to her name. The friends that have seen here are very much a love it or hate it on the smell front. Me and my S/O personally love the smell of her, I usually don’t like the “skunk” smell but it’s a very fresh smell to it so I really like it.
F70 will be her last day of light, she had 48 hours of darkness then harvested at day 72. Next update will be the harvest data with some opinions of her smoke.
@MovingOn, Thanks man! As for the seed companies I honestly don't know, I've read some stuff about Next Gen, DJ Short, BC Bud Depot, Canuk, JOTI, and JAH. There are some.... disagreements.... about whom worked where.... who has original genetics.... some are stollen or not pure etc, etc.
Honestly I don't really care, I don't have any affiliation or loyalty to any of them. I have some Next Gen seeds, Canuk seeds, and some BC Bud Depot seeds. I've been very impressed with the Next Gen seeds so far, but with that being said I just had the first few vapes from the Canuk Northern Lights and the high is fucking amazing (maybe I just got a great pheno, I don't know).
My next grow I'll have two BC Bud Depot strains (God Bud and Tangie Cookies) and one of the Next Gen strains (Dynamite). Really I'm just trying stains out to find what I like and don't like.
@stevieb21,Thanks, she's a very strong girl. Her and my Blueberry are going nuts, yet right next to them the Bubba Kush seems to struggle. I'm new to growing MJ and I don't fully understand the strains and pheno's yet, but clearly they can be very dramatic.
