Week 10 concluding the tenth week of vegetating:
Hi(gh) Guys,
Last grow was the first time for me to apply those techniques, and Iβd not have the right timing what unnecessary retarded the growth. Back then when Iβd strip the plants there were only small grow tips left. Luckily the tent filled up nice and the plants stayed nice and short. This grow this is totally different, and since I went with the plan to grow 3 upperdeckerβs the challenge will be keeping the height limited to available space. The Honey Cream shows very much growth.
On Wednesday each plant was stripped from excess unwanted leaves and branches as you can see in the photos. That day Iβd also switched to 12/12, and by the end of the tenth week the first signs of flowering are a fact. Iβll be counting flowering from next weekend, then there will be 6 weeks of flowering ahead.
After defoliating and taking cuttings, the Honey Creamβs kicked into growing fast, and I really hope I can manage to keep them in check. The plus-side is that last time the grow tips stayed really (too) short, and now that is certainly not the case. I hope the Honey Cream growβs long dense colaβs.
The plants all have 8 branches, but In the upcoming week Iβll be losing some of the underdeveloped ones to concentrate flowering into the better ones.
Iβm looking forward to see you back and check on the Honey Creamβs progress next week!

@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!
