6" of growth, but some mottling on leaves. ph too high, added a teaspoon of vinegar to gallon of water. ph corrected to 6.0. Hopeful this solves the issue.
Soil test results showed phosphorus deficiency and too high pH. Watered with BR-61 and a teaspoon of vinegar. Plant is already showing improvement.
First week of flower.
Pistils are about 50%-60% orange. Lots of resin. Trichomes are all cloudy, about 10% of trichomes on sugar leaves are Amber. No Amber trichomes on buds yet. About 10 days to go.
Plant had a rough start and I thought it would be a busy. Harvested 10.3g of dry bud (now curing). Still have a few small buds on the plant.
This strain is resin heavy. Can't wait to mix with other strains and make oils with this harvest!
Post cure/first smoke comment: I love this strain. I have Lupus and my spouse has severe PTSD. This strain has replaced our nighttime opioids and muscle relaxers. I no longer have to take pills to fall asleep and get rest.
I did have a Bubblegum Auto in the same tent that hermed. I didn't want pollination, so I tossed the BBG. I did find one partially formed seed in a Northern Lights bud after grinding. Glad the whole harvest was not ruined.
