Flowering day 63:
Buds are packing on some weight this week in probably week 5 I hit the tip of the main cola on a door nob it stopped growing a few days then started again almost looks like a foxtail but it just healed itself and started growth again. Some other buds are still producing fresh pistils which also look like minor foxtails but after doing some research it’s common in haze strains, never seen new growth like this so late in flower. A couple leaves that had some heat stress are still curled a bit but no new damage. I leave the tent open till 2-3am where it is at 75 and then close it the last few hours it goes up to near 81. Only other solution keeps temps to low.
This is her final week and tonight is her last nutrient feeding the pistils are mostly orange with the exception of the new growth and the main stalk buds are just starting to change. I’m seeing a fair bit of milky trichromes and no amber. I can’t wait for 30% amber as this plant has already occupied my flower tent to long and she still has a few baby mites that appear every few days everything in the veg tent is clean so I do not want to carry them over to my next bigger flower session. She will probably get the cut between the mothers 65 days and fathers 70 days so day 67 or 68 will be it.
The smell of this beast has made a dramatic turn she still displays a foul pungent nearly like rotten garlic odour “Sasquatch” in the room and when touching buds or stems all bubble gum or juicy fruit scents are gone she now smells like a fresh cut lemon so fresh you can almost smell like the wetness of fresh lemon juice with an extreme skunk finish to it. I cannot wait to see what this week has to offer in the smells department she gives off new smells every day seems more intense or a complete change.
Noticed a few slight yellow spots as I was going through the plants checking to see if she has any Hermie traits and after observing them they burst out a bunch new pistils. I’ve even seen perfectly round balls form covered in trichromes and they also just explode with new pistils she really seems to want to just keep producing bud.

coco is a forgiving medium mate. make an error and it can be instantly flushed away if needs be. I love it as a quick grow throw together too. As long as you keep the ph around 5.8 going in all will be good. It leeches calmag from the plant and nutes so have some handy as your going to hit the most needy bit next. The gnats area pain in the ass but if you cover the surface with decent sand , the larvae get stuck and the adults cant get down to lay eggs. you can also try a 20%milk/80 water in a spray bottle to wet the coco surface and mist the plant with it too. it wont smell or do any damage at all but will kill any soft bodied insects as they breath through a membrane on their backs often and suffocate from the milk deposit. It will go straight through the coco too so no horrible stinky residue
@Ganjagrandaddy, thanks for the advice, yea I’m liking the coco compared to soil I just got the watering down I was still watering like soil up to a few weeks ago. Just waiting on some mesh pots coming today I’m going to try with my clones either way much better with coco.
Yes I been feeding CaMg+ which is organic base for soil but the bottle is almost done I feed usually 4ml per gallon throughout the grow. And will get some CalImagic once this bottle is done.
Adult Gnats I got under control they can’t fly far either to the floor to get squished or on the sticky pads it’s the young ones. I’m going to try the milk idea I recently used 9 parts water to 1 part alcohol and it literally destroyed spider mite population was only a few stragglers left and on another plus side it didn’t kill all my pistils on my flowering plant like insecticidal soap that killed barely any mites just pistils lol. So I totally believe and will try the milk lol thank you.
@Grnhead, thanks bud it’s a fun process found out some cool things along the way. So weird best weed I’ve ever smoked was on vacation in Jamaica called Columbian Gold (some really Skunk bud) and it turns out was one of the parent plants to Skunk No1 small world no wonder I like this particular skunk so much. Can’t wait to see what the lemon adds to it was a smelly one to
