They are not ready yet, maybe a week I guess, I don't know.
This is day 77 and harvest day from the breeder. So, I got time.
The terpenes have are starting to escape. The past few weeks it smelled from vegetation/green and faint skunk for awhile, then past few days, the smell was... someone around here is smoking weed, to.... sweet tropical delicate. If I stick my head in close of my grow box and whiff, it is pleasant and light, but that terpene profile is the plant I want, in week, however, I will be a very different plant.
So, basically I'm watching the watering, cause its gonna stall soon, also it's gonna pop and I'll know, that's my last indicator before I chop. A visual of the size of the buds, they will spurt 1 more time. pistols, not so much, so, I'm watching for those to turn inward. With a turn inward of the pistols, a great aroma emanating, the weather next 6 days, tropical. They will finish tropical not wintery is my guess.
I wonder what the terpene profile would be like in a winter harvest? I would imagine heavy syrup sweet pine, that would be nice.
Hope I get 60-80g per plant. With this grow, I gained more understanding of what's up, things becoming clearer.
Day 80 Update, I'm gonna let them darken up, The smell is less green and more tropical. The skunk smell is a slight I kinda know its there but not there smell, but it's pleasant, desirable, light and fresh, sweet, just very pleasant
