The smell is getting stronger, but I would still describe it as weak. The lack of odour is the main thing which attracted me to this strain as my first grow, as I'm growing in an apartment :). So far, it's been very beginner friendly.
It seems all vertical growth has stopped and the bud sites are slowly fattening up. At the rate it's going, I don't think the yield will be too impressive, but I'm happy to get anything out of it for my first time. I will be going on vacation in about 4 weeks, so no matter what it will need to be chopped down and dried before I leave, but I can thankfully cure on vacation.
Trichomes are now a mixture of cloudy/clear and I would say ~40% of all the pistils have browned. Also, some of the lower leaves are beginning to become yellow and dry. I understand that this happens prior to harvest, but I feel this may be a nutrient deficiency as I've been only been feeding around 120 ppm of nitrogen the last few weeks and a proper harvest is still far away.
As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest around the end of week 13 with just shy of 8 weeks of flowering. Just from seeing how the buds have developed so far, how much will the quality/quantity of the final product suffer from harvesting that early?
Interesting question bigmac! See I harvest mine when they are 100% cloudy and as few Ambers as that allows ... That's because peak thc potency is when trichomes are cloudy, Amber means they are oxidized/rusted so they contain CBD/CBN/CBxes etc ... In the end it's a matter of taste because those Ambers are still medical but different than the thc ... The plant's stopped growing, same for the flowers, you won't loose yield or quality harvesting them at any point in time at all, in my opinion. I can garantee you that with 40% of Amber trichomes you're gonna get absolutely floored when you smoke it . Hope this helps ! 🚀
Hey there, these are ready to harvest at any time, some plants such mature quicker when they're in optimal conditions like yours , anything else you need just message me 👊🏻
