Help ! ...Im struggling with my Laughing Buddah grow and its its no laughing matter.
I veged her for 7 weeks on18/6 ( wish I had gone to 9) then flipped to 12/12 and thats now 9 weeks of flower . She is slow and steady this girl, but its been a pleasure with her all the long way .
I was wondering if anybody has grown his strain and can help me as I'm unsure if she is getting close to cooked yet.
To me she looks under done but I have noticed the heads are not as sticky and the aroma has softened somewhat . I have been looking at the trichomes whith my spy glass but I dont see alot of amber . Do the changes I described mean anything ...Is she ready or should I go a little longer ...anyone ?
Please.
PS...She is a bit of an ugly girl but Im gonna love her anyway cause I'm like that .
Its just on 10 weeks since flipping to 12/12 . A little over a week ago I beleived she was nearly ready because I noticed a change in the aroma and the leaves were way less sticky to touch and growth seamed to have stalled . So I started to flush . I think I jumped the gun . This last week I began to feed her again with PK boost as foliar spray and she responded . She is really starting to put on the weight again and flower is filling in nicely. Im going to keep on eye on her and I think I will let her go to 75 days and then see how she is doing. Some of the flower tops are getting a little sideways under weight so may have to prop these up if she continues to fill out . I must say I have really enjoyed this grow and Im impressed with how bushy she is for a small plant . Thinking the yeild may be a little better than I was expecting.
This last photo shoot before I take the chainsaw to her . Two more days of flush and we call it a day . No sign of any amber Trichomes but plenty cloudy . Its OK if she is a day or two under done . She will be a bit lively thats all . Its been a long grow for me (17 weeks ) 7 weeks Veg and 75 days flower when I chop.
I wished I had veged her two more weeks . I topped her at the 6th node because I was worried about the stretch in my confined grow space . I did not need to worry . Stretch was only about 35-40 %. She topped out at 69cm (28") well short of Barneys suggested height .
All-in-all a very pleasing grow . Very impessive plant to grow actually and I would recomend this plant to any level of grower. The result was especially pleasing given the crappy nutrients I have to work with . Will wait and see how it tastes and smokes but I will be growing this again for sure .
The Plant -LAUGHING BUDDHA
Sativa Jamacia/Laos .
This Pheno was Low Growing and Bushy while in Veg. Somewhat scruffy by nature but She Produced Lots Bud Sites . Easy to Shape for simple SGROG Grow.
The Grow -
I would encourage any level grower to grow this Femmised Photo Strain . It is an Easy Grow and the ony requirement I found is Patience . Its a Longish Tropical Growing Cycle. But It is "Worth the Wait" in my opinion .
A Naturally Bushy Pheno that I was able to Trim and Train into a plant with a Broad Canopy . It was a pleasure to grow and a Fair Result in terms of Quantity and Quality .
The Dry and Cure -
Drying went well . Was 9 days drying in warn dry ventilation . Proceed to Trim and Cure now . Its work . What can I say ?
The Smoke -
Smoke from Pre-Cure Fresh Cut Flower is a little raw and not the best.
However ..."Needs Must"
Taste is Tropical, Floral ,Sweet with a hint of Menthol or Mint . Very Fruity Fresh Flavour from the Vape . But this may change as it Cures.
First Test was Vape and the high was a gentle afair with enough of a Creative Happy Buzz to enjoy with a beer while watching Footy and Chilling after a hard day of Golf . Needless to say it was delicous end to a great day. So we got off to a good start together . Happy Days !
Next I Smoked a Joint. The Warm Wave Effect is felt comming on imediately and gives a Happy and Calm lift in mood. You can get things done if thats required . Its Not a Heavy Stone I feel it is Up-Creative Active leading to Calm Content at the end . Has the feel of a strong strain and the potential get up and kick if over indulged . I cant wait now for Cure to happen because my taste buds are watering and waiting ....More Patience is required .
Will report more after Cure .
