July 16: Looking quite nice and smells great. Still being slow to actually ripen but it’s getting there. Some leaves starting to discolour that I’ve been taking off.
July 19: buds are ripening but not done yet. The plant has always been yellowish but this discolouration seems to be senescence so the plant is nearing the end of its life. Will harvest soon but not just yet as the buds are still putting on weight.
July 21: still ripening and the smell is amazing 😳. Love it. Harvested a 25 g wet bud limb for, you know, quality assurance. Was going to just be using water but the buds aren’t ripening quickly so I’ve given it another round of molasses which is good for potassium (K) which should help flowering without giving a chemical taste to the buds.
@DoDrugs420, this was a fave from last year. I’ve since figured out the well water here has too much sodium which is why she was always so yellow. Knowing that, I’d change water and feed to provide more K and P during flower…in other words, I think this could be done better. It was a nice smoke as it was though.
@Hshbdndkjd, likely cool temps (10 C) overnight here. My outdoor grows always take way longer than breeders claim. This plant has been in bloom for six weeks now and will be close to done in two more...so, yeah 8 weeks might seem long for this plant but it seems normal here.
