LeosLivingSoil I'm not really a good permanent photographer.. so this is the first thing I have of the lovely lady. Growth-wise, super strong, I really like it :0

LeosLivingSoil This week I did some defoliation and I noticed the tips were slightly lightened, but I decided to ignore it, the soil will take care of it :0

LeosLivingSoil This week, unfortunately, just one picture again, but the yellow leaf tips have gone away, I was right :3

LeosLivingSoil Absolute dream plant honestly, the leaves almost form a circle haha :D it really doesn't smell cherry yet when rubbing the leaf stem, but it does have that Cali-like fruity scent already, I'm really excited for the ultimate:3 And I'm not absolutely sure about the flowering time, I didn't document the whole timing so it's plus or minus 1 week 😅

LeosLivingSoil Die Woche war cool ich war 4 Tage in Berlin und leider hat sie etwas unter Wasser Mangel gelitten wodurch die Blattadern teilweise etwas lila geworden sind und joar sie wirkte generell leider recht gestresst. Außerdem hat Sie jetzt, ich denke durch den Stress an zwei Blättern unten etwas Stickstiffüberschuss und die Blätter wirken nicht mehr so Homogen Dunkelgrün. Sie hat sich aber nach dem Gießen wieder gefangen und ich erwarte das sich das wieder legt. Ich denke die werde ich zum züchten benutzen, hat eine mega hübsche Blattform :)

LeosLivingSoil The week was really good :) the pollination worked here too :3 or I might have ripped the hairs with the brush :D but I don't think so, I was gentle :D One branch is pollinated with a male Banana Chem Freak from TerpyZ and the other one, well maybe also, or with SupaSlickShore pollen, I accidentally grabbed the wrong jar while collecting pollen and noticed it too late.. 😅 So that branch is going to be a surprise bag haha :D Other than that, I might have watered once too little and the lamp burned the top leaves a bit 😅 but it's higher now :o Oh and I really over-dried it because my dehumidifier didn't tell me it was full and I had this crazy high humidity and water on the floor because it didn't turn off :D Oh and it had a mega huge leaf, I hardly trim it otherwise :D

LeosLivingSoil Unfortunately, I forgot about a week, but there’s cool news, my new dehumidifier is radical, I’ve never seen anything like it :D it dries everything :0 for 120€ mega :D but that’s not what this is about. The plant is developing nicely, the buds are getting buddier, and yeah. It’s a bit annoying that I can’t hang my lamp higher because I attached my exhaust system poorly, so the leaves at the top are slightly burning. _. but soon it will be done :D

LeosLivingSoil The week is going well, the buds are swelling up more into foxtails, but unfortunately, I also pinched one of the buds and found out that they’re not as firm as hoped. I have 2 theories: the first is that they’re producing seeds due to pollination, which is affecting the bud quality of this plant in general, or secondly, I might have used a bit too much horn meal and now there’s too much nitrogen, but I’m watering a bit less and hoping they’ll still harden up since there are still about 2 weeks left :o Oh, and I’ve switched to 12/12 now; in my mind, it gives them an extra hour to chill and regenerate, which might make them firmer :o Google says no, but I’ll give it a try :D

LeosLivingSoil I had hoped to harvest them this week, but that joy was not granted to me. Instead, I turned the light down to the lowest setting, in case the foxtailing is caused by too much light rather than being genetic :0 The leaves are slightly turning reddish and a bit wilted; I was already worried about mold or something, but everything's cool. Maybe they’ll finish flowering like most plants supposedly do, but I personally don’t like it that much. I think it looks prettier when they stay green until the end or turn black, gray, or purple; this wilting just ruins the look for me :o Well, I’ll definitely leave them for another week, maybe even 2, and hope that the buds get firmer; it feels like lowering the light is helping a bit :o The smell has also changed again, moving away from that stink bug smell to hmm earthy cherry, and I’m really enjoying that because the strain is supposed to smell like cherry and kush, so it’s doing what it says :D I really don’t like it when strains have names like Waldmeister Zwirbelmaster Minz Flush 3000 and then don’t smell or taste like either Waldmeister or mint; that’s always very disappointing. And I think it’s going to be one of the most productive strains I’ve had so far, so I have a lot to taste :o (if it doesn’t mold)
