Starting Week 9
The big girl has stabilized. She's yellowed all over but buds look good and continue swelling.
All are fattening every day. The buds are hairy and greasy. The smell is pungently sour and fruity.
4 weeks remain.
DAY 58
Have switched to hand-watering for the final push to the end. 64oz plain water drench to runoff for each. Continue removing anything that is not adding to the overall health.
Will harvest in stages. Everything above the top net is getting thick and greasy and will be taken first...near the breeders package date of 80 days.
There is a lot of nice material between the nets. Will open this lower area up and intensify the light for 2 weeks more...taking the total time to the 95-100 day range. There's no hurry and there is a healthy root system in place to give this lower material a chance to fatten. She's so dense and greasy up top...hoping to get her lower flowers there as well.
Trimming will be a breeze. The flower to leaf ratio is incredible.
DAY 60
SCROG wasn't set-up or managed well from the start. Plant #2 was hard to get at to keep pruned.
Removed both nets and cleared out a lot of dead/dying undergrowth from the back of the tent. Preference is to have full 360° access to all.
Did not want to extend this to 100 days. Removing the scrog allows access to all this popcorn with intense light. All material will be allowed to fatten until Day 80.
DAY 62
Big girl has so many bud sites from being horizontal that are now standing up and getting fat. Her color has improved since drying out. She's s packing on some healthy, strawberry shaped/sized buds
The other 2 ladies are greener and have more well-developed colas. The larger colas are very greasy-looking and dense.
