@Sweet_Seeds, Thank you. Those are very kind words. Your genetics were excellent throughout the grow. I basically just fed her, trimmed her, and gave her good lighting. This is an excellent purple auto grow choice!

What are your trichs looking like in the loop?

@Th3L0rAx, The buds look and feel fantastic! You could use the budstalks to wash beat the dust out of your carpets. I'm really happy with the whole grow. I'm just stumped on this amber trichome thing. Luckily I'm gaining more experience and I can better gauge if my plants are done.

Th3L0rAxcommented6 years ago

@Quexos, quite possibly how’s the density on those buds they look pretty dense in the photos

@Th3L0rAx, I'm using a jeweler's loupe. I'm harvesting my 8th plant now, and I have yet to see amber trichomes. This time I really wanted to wait it out, but there were way too many indicators that the plant was done. The hermies I didn't even discover until I trimmed her and put her in a dark room. I'm hoping they are relatively new. I kinda like your idea about getting a loupe that works with your phone. The magnification will be much better. I'm not a young man. My eyesight is not the greatest. I hate getting old. My thought is that the soil still has too many nutrients for the plants to truly exhaust themselves. Hence, no amber trichomes.

Amigo Harvested great news 🍃🤘🎩 Grapes nice. Amazing 79g you got there think you did best out of all the diarys so far and what a treat for us to see her 😊. Are you going you age the resin to see how terpines adjust and flavour grows? And Bovida 67? Or 59? I hope her buds flavour 🍇🍓🍒🍍🍋🍊🍉🍌 erupts in curing for you. Congrats 👏

@Ygrowz, I bought a 12-pack of the little stick-on hygrometers. I spent about 14 bucks for them. They should do the trick!

@Ygrowz, Good idea! You mean those little guages they use for reptile cages? You can buy them by the caseload. I've never heard of the Germanus crystals. Maybe I'm the one who should be doing a bit of research! Thanks!

@Quexos, bigger pots are for sure better for photos yes! I'll take a look at that! Indoors bro, the Blue Gelatos are in 10g pots lol indeed! Like to give them roots some space ^^

@@SeedLover, I've always grown in 3g canvas pots. None of my autos were root bound or anything so the size of the pot didn't hinder them. I really think bigger pots are a good idea for photos. I'm just not sure about autos. Currently my Orange Critical Punch is in a 7g pot. I'm treating it like a photo so by our reasoning, it should be huge! Are your 10g plants outdoors? If not, that is a lot of space for a plant.

@Quexos, she should 👍💪😁! Well I have never grown any automatics so don't even know how it develops in terms of roots, but 5g seems fine to me for any cannabis plant. I might be wrong. My channel+'s are in 6.6g airpots and BG41's are in 10g fabric pots.

@Ygrowz, Flavor is developing. It has a sweet aroma when I break up the buds. The aroma isn't the greatest. Sage sounds right I'm still burping my mason jars. I'm hoping the aroma will improve over time.

Ygrowzcommented6 years ago

@Quexos, hi how is flavour and smell developing? I've only got sage like flavour from curing still 2 weeks. My humidity is 68% in jars . Froze trim to get some tricomes shake off sweet leafs n made a tiny bit of hash .

@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks! I'm really happy with how this one looked. She was a beautiful plant! The bud is going to take awhile to cure though.

Amazing looking plant! Congrats on your harvest. I have noticed that not all plants will show amber at peak harvest time. Nor will all the pistils darken. Sometimes you just have to go by experience. I like to take a sample and dry it for a few days and test it. If I like the way it smokes it's good to go because it's my meds and that's all that really matters. Peace bro

@Smowkabowl, I'm a hobby kinda guy. I like to do the best I can, but you are right. At the end of the day you just want some good herb to share with your friends.

@Quexos, me too. I still do all the trichome checking and be patient and push 'em as far as I can but I'm not out to grow award winning plants on steroids. I just want some good cannabis. Peace

@Smowkabowl, Man that is good to know. I'm still learning and I've been really trying to be patient and wait for those ambers, but now i run into the danger of waiting too long. I'm starting to be able to see that the buds are done. The more your grow...

@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you! She smells like grapes. I have 3 more seeds. This was just the freebie!!

Ygrowzcommentedweek 126 years ago

Sic!! She looks amazing. Wonderfull looking definitely best to go longer on this strain. Good work though I would save the pollen.

Quexoscommented6 years ago

@Ygrowz, Thanks! I didn't even think to save any pollen. I didn't even know it was there. I think I went a little too long though. I'm thinking week 10 or 11 would be a better harvest window. I'll need to look at the photos and see if there is any significant change between the weeks.

She's looking awesome I'm well jealous, I hope mine fills out as much as yours though considering I'm using a 6.5 liter plastic pot and biobizz I'm quite happy with my first grow 3 different plants to learn from & 1 is purple.😎 Looking forward to your harvest report.

@Ygrowz, I think your plants will fill in as much as my plant. Compare the photos of my plant and your plant at the same age. You might get more purple towards the end. Mine went grape right away though.

GandalfTheGreencommentedweek 116 years ago

Sooo much nicer looking than your standard bud! You must have very colorful smokes!

@GandalfTheGreen, This one is supposed to be purple so I'm not surprised, but my Royal Creamatic is also a bit purple, and I have my last grow of AFGooey and Bubba's Gift that were both very purple. I guess I like purple a lot!

@evilsurfer, That is a great compliment, thanks! I'd take the credit, but I really just left her alone. I kept her fed well, gave her good lights, and good soil.
