Week 16, concluding the fifth week of flowering:
Hi(gh) Guys,
Welcome to the fun part! Life as a grower has it’s busy periods, but after that there is certainly time to reflect. Patience is mandatory! So, up to this part there is often uncertainty; will they grow fatter? Why don’t they already smell? Why are there stains on some of the leaves? Did I make a mistake? But when I take out all the plants one by one, and then starting to realize that I’d maybe again managed to break my own record, that’s for me the turning point during the cycle when I start to feel cheerful ;-)
The pictures also show that by the way, I’d make 3 different photo moments this week, and will put the matching pictures in order again. And I’d also make individual photo’s per plant, together with the trichomes. Last time I checked there were 110 pictures, so have fun!
That smell-thing isn’t really an issue anymore. There a couple of plants starting to spread a real nice smell. The buds are fattening up nicely compared to last week, and there is a lot of it! Some of the colas are real nice.
Next week (6th) where they get there last nutrients including a dose of PK, and the week after that (7th) only flushing is left. I’ll feed them early this week and after that start with flushing right away at the end of this week. You can see that some of the trichomes already starting to color. This strain really does the flowering part in a fast pace, but it needs it time to grow. I was 11 weeks on the way until flowering started, normally between 6 and 8 weeks. I think I can start to look forward to a nice big harvest!
I’m looking forward to see you back and check on the Honey Cream’s 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..😎
@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!
