The back plant is still growing at a faster rate than the front but the front is starting to put some weight on the buds, finally. I'm thinking I may need to harvest the back plant earlier than the front because the flowers on the front plant look like they are in an earlier developmental stage than the one in the back. At first I thought this was due to the "nanners" that I had to pluck from the colas, but the bud developement on this plant is right in line with the Topanga Wedding that is beside it in the tent, and that plant did not have any "nanners".
The colas on the back plant are packing on some nice weight to I had to put some stakes in the pot to support those branches. Humidity was a little high throughout the week but it has been pretty manageable. The aroma and resin production is strong and these plants are very sticky.
@Complicate, Thanks! Yeah, I took my time with this grow and it has really paid off. I'm still surprised about how far behind the front plant is so I'll be curious to see if I have a similar issue with my next round. I'm pretty sure it was caused by the lights being shifted too far back and hope that was the issue.
@RussianGrower, thanks for the comment! They look a little sloppier than I’m used to at this stage but I still have plenty of time to train them to fill out better.
@BudXs, Thanks, I appreciate it! I was kind of thrown off by his comment. My diary has a lot of pictures and info in it so I really wasn't sure where he was coming from with that comment, unless he was in the contest and was just being a sore loser.
@CUBULATOR, No, I don't work for GD. I've entered 3 contests so far, and this is the only one that has placed, but my diary isn't showing as a winner yet so I don't know if they are even done with the judging.
