Day 72 of flower and I finally saw what I wanted in the trichomes and pistils so pulled her tonight and she’s drying.
I had multiple issues with this plant, all due to my own mistakes. Earlier in veg I based my lighting power on a ppfd reading that unfortunately was incorrect as the lens was dirty and gave a false reading. As such, she suffered severe light stress in veg and I also overwatered really bad in the earlier stages of veg which caused all sorts of other issues. Because of all of that I delayed flipping to flower until I felt like I had those issues under control. Further, she was looking so bad at one time that I did very little training because the plant looked like it was well on its way to dying. So because of both of those I ended up with a very uneven canopy and also ran into serious height issues during stretch. I took so long to flip that they were wayyyy too tall during flower and I had to rig my lights up higher. Total height of the plant including 5g pot was around 5’9” I believe. Way too tall for my tent. However, I made it to the end of flower and am so excited for when these are dry. Humboldt’s description that it grows large and dense nugs is no lie lol. These nugs are incredibly dense and also very large despite the fact that I’m only using the 200w lamp that came with my grow tent kit lol. I’m very curious as to what my dry yield will be.
The smell was a mix of piney/lemony/funk? Smells great though. The nugs were also really sticky with resin.
I have some much more high quality pics on my dslr but my laptop is broken at the moment so for now all I have are my cell phone pics. When I finally edit the photos it’ll really do justice of how pretty these nugs are.
I’m really looking forward to a few weeks from now when I can sample a little.
