Getting down to the wire! I check the trichome color 2 time a day (10 clear 80 milky 10 Amber). She's finishing fast!! I think she's gonna get the chop here real soon, possibly this weekend. I've already got one of my trimming buddies requesting some for his sister in law (recent double mastectomy ๐ข), so I get to help out!! I'll be sure to include any outsider's thoughts and opinions in the final harvest report. Funny thing is: he thinks he's gonna pay me for it ๐๐! No, my friend - if it's being used as medicine, it's my pleasure!
Have a look at the pics, most of the hairs have changed to brown, but she still has another 11 days until breeders recommended maturity. Either way, I'm beginning the nectar's flush/ripen period now Any input on harvest would be fantabulous! Much love and happy growing!
@Korfer, I'm finding that out!! Haha! I think I'm going to take them out fully tonight for maybe 20 minutes and see where that gets us. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry, I interrupted my own thoughts --- Athena's animas at a 1:1 with Aphrodite's extraction, but may be dipping lower with those two, in favor of more kraken and Triton's
@simps, yeah. She was getting very little sunshine. Thought she did show signs of turning color, so that was nice. It was a tough decision, but I'm glad I made it
Now that my nerve-wracking grow is over, I can relax inside and catch up on all you beautiful people's diaries!!
@Tonino, I doubt I'll have it actually analyzed, but breeder claims it to be 10:5 -- CBD:THC , but I also saw those numbers reversed in one description. Dinafem claims it to be their highest CBD:THC plant in their arsenal. Very nice citrus smell. I'm excited and nervous to watch her finish; tricome checks every twelve hours! Hahaha! My projected date May be moved forward and I doubt the weather will cooperate and cool quickly enough for the purple to express itself
Oh well! Thanks for having a peek!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, haha, it's been an interesting para-symbiotic relationship. The bushes create cover, but steal the sun; too much trimming and my cover's undone. It's a tightrope walk!
Nice Purple Orange Benji! It seems we're the only ones growing this strain on here.
How big is the stalk-in diameter? Mine's over 2 inches in diameter. I went with larger containers this season, and it has definitely made a dramatic increase in size! I was using 5 gallon containers, but the plants always seemed to get root bound quickly. No more 5 gal!
@Yololive, I think I'm nearing 1.75" diameter (and that might even be an overestimation). My girlie is in a 7 gallon, with a riser (to simulate more soil volume, but as the top roots go more downward rather than sprawling, you can save a good bit of soil). However, there are no holes for the roots to go into the lower tier @ its surface level (rookie error that I realized after it was too late to remedy); I'll draw a pic and you'll see.
I think we're the only people, other than Dinafem, to do any growing of this strain *worldwide* and if not we're certainly the only ones documenting our grows. I am searching constantly for info. Seedfinder has some.. has yours begin to odor up at all? Mines still innocuous.
How many years experience have you got?
Yeah bro you better top it , I've just had a look on breeders comments, that plant can yield 1Kg outdoor, it's a massive monster that you're growing ๐
