Week 9 concluding the ninth week of vegetating:
Hi(gh) Guys,
Where starting to get somewhere now. Ponytails are removed and the tips are starting to gain color again, seen at the last couple of photoβs. Iβd also added before and after removing the ponytails photoβs per plant. You can see most lower branches did grow a couple of inches. The tips that where tied continue to retard for a few days until there same color as the rest and les wrinkly, during which the lower branches can stretch a bit further. The whole room is filled up nice and tight, tomorrow Iβm going to switch to 12/12, for now they can recover a bit longer.
Iβm expecting these girls to go into flowering fast, so I hope to keep the entire vegetating period within 10 weeks. There was 1 lost week due to the tent being used for drying, so next time if that doesnβt happen again the entire period covers 9 weeks.
Next up is trimming some unwanted offshoots and defoliating fan leaves to retard stretching further.
Iβm looking forward to see you back and check on the Honey Creamβs progress next week!
;-) Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
@James, what do you think, do the Honey Cream's continue growing bud, and then start smelling strong late in the cycle? Seems that the bud is still growing after 4 weeks of flowering. Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
@Satori_Hanso, thanks! Yeah, this is my best round ever, and the quality is also there. The bud is perfectly looking, feeling and smelling, now if it tastes and works great, than it's a winner! I guess that will be perfect too! Lucky me..π
@Satori_Hanso, What makes it difficult to awnser is because the Moonwalkers have such a strong smell. The Honey's are a strain like no other i'd had before, and it really cuts the normal cycle with 4 weeks, so the smell is developing late to begin with. But i'd notice that the smell is much more nuanced than the skunky moonwalkers. It really has a caramel like smell, and a good amount of the pheno's have a strong smell if you come close enough. I expect the smell to become strong this week. We'll see! ;-)
@ReinDeer, thanks, after this diary i'm going to explain only the changes i'm making to my M.O. but this diary is now the baseline. Take your advantage from it and thanks!
