The plant is big enough, so I've done some LST :)
Also this is the last week that I can spray the mixture with neem oil because from the next, this girl will start flowering.
This strain had a very strange behaviour. It was the first to germinate, and at first had the fastest growth. But at the 3rd week she started flowering. I've done some LST, but after entering in flower, the plant stopped entirely to grow, and I was left with only 5 branches. On the other hand, now the colas are very big, the biggest I had ever grown. They are very thicc, sticky and dense. The smell it's very delicate, a lil minty I would describe it.
I was moving the plant and it fell on the floor. Luckly I catch it in mid fall, so the plant hadn't got any damage, but a lot of soil finished on the colas. I tried to clean them but they remain a bit dirty, because they are very sticky. How can I clean them?
For now I would just try to shake off as much loose debris as possible with out spreading it to other buds. Your so close to harvest by the looks of the buds you don't want to damage the fresh trichomes by touching or brushing them off. After you have removed the fan and larger sugar leaves separate out the buds that are clean. Hang them horizontally using some wire so soil doesn't spread to lower cleaner buds and dry them to 62% humidity then lightly trim off an soil particles until you reach clean bud. Not going to lie but it could turn into a bit of extra work but you should be able to salvage them. Use a magnifying glass to see if you need to do any additional trimming good luck I hope this helps you out.
The plant is ok, we are near the harvest.
Because she is the smallest , she drinks less than the others plants I have.
Also I've done some research for my problem, and I'm gonna wash the buds. I have read a lot of opinions and all the people that at first were sceptical, say that now they doing it all the time, so I'm gonna try it! If the flavour and the overall experience is good, I'll do it also on my gorilla. And what's your opinion on "bud washing"? Let me know in the comments!
Here the weather is gonna be bad for the next days so I'm a lil worried because I'm so near the harvest and I'don't want to fck up things now. The humidity is gonna reach 90% so for the next 2 days I will take them inside.
Sorry for the bad quality, next time I'll try to use a better camera
This girl is doing very well, the buds are very stick and smelly. The past days the weather wasn't very good, and I was worried about the possiblity of mold, but it all went for the better way. Tommorow I will flush the plant and then wait 7-10 days before the harvest.
I was very busy this week so I haven't taken a lot of photos. Flushed two times the plant this week, the leaves are becoming yellow, the harvest is near :) I think I'll chop her the next weekend
This week was very rainy and it happend what I was afraid the most: botrytis. I was worried since the begging because the plant is very compact and small, the air don't flow very good in it, so when the humidity went up to 90% and the temperature was 13°C, the fungi attacked my girl. I cut down two big colas because of it :( but you know sh*t happens, I was at work and hadn't got the opportunity to take in my girls. Friday I will cut her down and wah the buds, we'll see how much she can give me.
Very interesting strain, it don't smell like weed, but like a medicine or mint. The buds are very dense. The high is very particular, is the first time that I feel something like this. My body become warm and relaxed, and the mind remain calm. It's certanly a strain for daytime or also for night time before going to sleep. Also I found out that mixing it with other strains increase the power of the body effect but without any cons, so it is perfect if you don't want to be paranoid or become sick because too stoned.
So we are at the finish of our jorney. What can I say? This is strain is very particular, I won't recomend it for first growers. She will start flowering very early so I don't recomend lst becuase she will be bushy and short in any case. For those reasons I don't recomend to grow it if you live in a place with a high humidity weather. I had rain in my last week and bud rot attacked my girl, so I cut down two branches ( I think if not for this the harvest would be 20 g). But on the other hand she take nutrients like a champ and insects don't fck with her. So I would recomend it, this is a beautiful medic strain, but only if you live in the right place and alreasy know how to deal with small and very bushy plants. Also one thing that I did when harvesting her was bud washing. It is a very controversial topic in the grow community but after trying it I must say: it works! it washes a lot of shit off your weed ,but the buds remain sticky and smelly, so I would recomend it to all the outdoor growers, you will see how much dust, death insects and other shit is attacked to your colas.
By the looks of your plant you still have a few more weeks at least to go maybe more. Hard to tell in your photos but most if the pistils on your flowers still look white. Usually a good sign she is getting closer to harvest is about 50% of the white pistils will have dried and turn orange. In other words you can still keep feeding her until then. Buds put on the most weight during the last 2 to 3 weeks before harvest they also produce the most terpenes,resin,cbd.
@Philindicus, bro I have a microlens and the thricoms are becoming amber color so it's time to harvest :) the photo is low quality and you can't really see the color of the pistils, but they are practically all orange :) next week I'll do some good photos with a better camera and also some photos with the microlens
