Garlic Budder - Winter Grow

this was 12 days after popping the seed

Placed in final 13L pot.

First top

first LST

second top and a little more LST

due to the limited height of the box, the middle branches needed some more training. Additionally I took away all their fan leaves in the hopes, this would slow down their growth, to have a more evenly leveled canopy

needed to stunt the plant a little more, as it‘s getting dangerously close to the LED. I hope this Garlic Budder will stop stretching soon!

again LST needed due to stretch. But I could identify an issue with the MiniGrow. That is if you set 26C day temp and it goes above that value, the box will throttle the lights down. This is likely the cause for that big stretch, which is unusual for a Garlic Budder.

Other than the occasional futher binding down, most work is done. Now the wait begins.

Took these pics without the red component in the LED. Should bring out the plant’s true colors a little bit better. Besides a compost tea, not much to do at this time round. Waiting for the colas to swell.

.

it is starting to get pungeant, almost peppery on the nose. Not sure if I like it. Will be interesting to see how that note changes after cure.

nothing to report this week.

Leaves are curling up due to light stress, but zhere is little I can do at this moment. But I’m sure the plant will be able to handle this 2 more weeks.

She got a little light/heat stress going. But even tough her leaves are quite curled up, she most likely will make it through the last week or even a few days longer. Due to the GMO genetics, which often just keep going, I‘m planning on letting it fatten up as long as possble.

still no amber trichs. will let her go another week and check again.

Chopped after 84d of flower. Buds are very dense and dark dark red - almost black. The smell reminds of a peppery limetree with hints of garlic (UPDATE: which is getting stronger during cure). Got a return of 0.86g/W.
