Another week.
The weather has been really bad. rain clouds blabla. This is al fine and dandy as long as there are no flowers and since we are currently 2 weeks into flower I needed a solution. So I made a rain shelter with some greenhouse plastics. So far so good. Wondering how it will hold up during wind gusts or even a storm. plastic is easily replaced and cheap but I'd rather not create too much waste.
Then regarding the pests problem: It was the last week I could spray them IF I needed to do so and I did. I think the plant took a hit from the shitty weather allowing pests to thrive? Dunno. Anyway with the shelter and the pests getting a bit out control I sprayed them and now I am forced to harvest the earliest on 12 weeks. But I am going to try to aim for earliest 13 weeks, just to be sure although it states on the packaging that it is not harmful to bees/animals/humans...
Now on to the plant: she is doing fine. Leaf tucked a bit so all cola's get delicious sunshine. Upped feeding and water. With the shelter I also have a bit more control over the watering process because they have gotten LOTS of rainwater which might have flushed them a couple of times. Anyway frost is starting to show on the leaves. the smell is distinct lemony. Maybe the hardest lemon smell I got from a plant.
Main cola is starting to show some flowers that are fattening so I added the plagron green sensation to this one already. I had some great results with it last grow.
The sun has been unrelentless and i think it caused some heatstress because pistils were starting to form again. A bit over a week later i can clearly see more bud forming. Sun has calmed down but weather is getting bad. What do? Chop or leave a bit more? Leaning to chop.
Hi,
Bring your light up, check your temperature and continue with your harvest schedule. This can happen if your plants are too close to the light and heat problems. Foxtailing
Try to fix this problems so there isnt further damage.
Happy harvest!!
This is why the common recommendation is too observe trichomes. If she show deficiencies like she appears to be.. I would chopping sooner rather then later.. Starving plants and allowing them to process all available resources can lend itself to product that doesn't finish nicely or well at all. You will get very different information from different growers Like some folks aim for Amber that is 30% because it provides for a cough/couch lock experience... This will not fly very well in my area.. People prefer and know product should be and can be smooth.. Some people associate the coughing and the heavy feeling with "good" weed.. Experienced smokers/connoisseurs know the difference. Find your own preference..
