The plants are doing really well ✌️ Last week it looked like the buds growth was slowing down, but this week the buds are growing in size by the day. The strain description says the plant should be ready in 9 weeks, but as things look now it could also be 10 weeks. I don't mind though as she already looks amazing and getting better every day! The plant in the back that didn't have the purple shades is now also turning purple-ish. The resin production on both plants is more than I ever seen in previous grows. The buds and sugarleafs are sparkling every time I open the growbox, and the smell is really intense. My carbon filter is having a hard time keeping the aroma inside the GTools these last few weeks 😅
Will the Fruity Donutz will be ready by the end of the week? Stay tuned for more pictures and updates 😊😉
A final update before the plants are harvested ✌️ It's officially week 10 now, but I plan to harvest the Fruity Donutz in a day or 2. The trichomes are mostly milky but no amber ones just yet. It would be a shame to harvest these beauties before they reach their max potential. They look absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to try them. I plan to chop them down and hang them without doing any trimming, just remove the biggest leafs. They take longer to dry, but it does improve the overall taste and quality in my experience.
It´s not only about sticking-traps . You need to eliminate all the larvae , cause they are the problem . Just use some nematodes , it´ll work quickly and safe ! Good luck , Growmie
@Zengrower, welcome , buddy !! Yeah , i tried mites just once , as i found nematodes to be the terminal solution 😁💀😂😂 . And yeah , most times it´s much more than expected . The yellow stick-traps are mostly for controll of infestation and also to catch the adult gnats ( black fungus gnats / bot. Sciara analis) , but dem larvae are (imo) only really affected by nematodes (you could also use Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis , but more as prevention) . So if you have many adul gnats , there are a bunch more larvae . Also you should watch your watering , as too humid substrate will get all those gnats round you attracted 😳
Edit : those yellow stick-traps loock quite full 😌 if you calculate 1 female gnat will lay up to 200 eggs , you might get a clue of how many of the larvea are feasting on your plant´s roots (as the larvae normally eat fungi (those fungi helping your plant to live , and as there are not many of those fungi in a pot , as you can imagine , they´ll switch to roots )👻
