Day 53 has broken for the ladies, and I am very pleased with their progress. The buds are visibly getting stronger every day. A few brown leaf tips appeared, but at this stage I don’t care much for them. Overall, they still look very much alive.
Day 57: Uppermost leaves are curling up. Could be they are saturated with light and I should reduce the lighting period a bit, could be that the water drop installment provided them with a bit too much water, although they don’t show any more fresh signs of over-watering or fertilisation. But I had to remove water that flooded the bottom of the tank … I’ll reduce their lighting period to 14 hours. Rest of the ladies looks very healthy so I don’t want to stress them too much. It would be better to raise the left light a bit but I cannot. So, although the label says they would grow taller, I can be glad they did not gain more height.
Day 58: Buds are really getting massive, and they started to smell a bit more. They even gained 1 cm and tallest bud is now at 89.
It’s a very sweet but deep odour, really enjoyable. Lady #2, while being a bit smaller, looks like being in winter. Sugar leaves are enormous on her.
I added a detail photo from timelapse video showing some of the curled and slightly burnt leaves. They are not many, and damage does not seem to progress. Anyway, ladies are already late in the game and I am rather surprised they still look very healthy.
I'm right there with ya, a few more weeks. I usually chop day 77-85. Autos usually require 50-60 days of flowering and then you add the veg time (21-35 days usually)
@Dabking, thank you! Yes, I see, we’re equal up to the height. :D
Just saw some buds sparkle like being wet – this looks very much like a great harvest. Yours too.
I can’t insist on experience, but from my limited knowledge I agree breeder’s times, although mostly declared as seed-to-harvest, should rather be read as blooming time. Which is quite ok for me. Really would like to see them in full colors before being cut.
Pi + sensors + custom exhaust fans?! Holy shit, that sounds awesome dude. I'm not sure why this will be your last grow but with that kind of engineering it is a shame to lose you. Good luck yo.
@Waveform, I mean, you don't want to be a bad neighbor. You pretty much have to stick it out for that Mimosa Cookies or it'd be rude. 😏 And if there is another plant on the way it's probably a good idea to get a few more seeds. I mean the tent is up anyways, right?
About a decade ago I was homebrewing in my garage and had a similar situation with a neighbor. Once you see the magic, you get the itch. Abracadabra, yo.
@NastyNatesJungle, Maybe I’ll continue, but with lower priority. I must confess I infected a neighbour who used to grow aeons ago. In fact he escalated quite quickly, from "let me just have one plant on the shelf and watch her grow by sunlight" to a 1 x 1 x 2 m tent with double the lighting I got in about 2 weeks, and for my support he is pre-growing a Mimosa Cookies for me, so I guess the title lies. Thanks a lot in any case!
Looks amazing.
Happy growing growmie!
I love what I’m seeing, keep on doing your thing!
