cr8grow’s Cream Mandarine XL Auto Grow 3

Day 63, end of week 9 from sprout. They went exactly 9 weeks, the breeders estimation. Im impressed, with my two fem photo grows I would have 7 weeks to go. The plants increased water needs the last 2 weeks, then stopped uptake recently. Last water with nutes was 5 days ago. There were some new pistils up top, but the scope showed mostly cloudy trichomes on upper calyxes, which was the goal this grow. Turned off the light yesterday. After 24 hours of darkness clipped all easily accessible fans, chopped and hung all four whole back in the grow cabinet. The odor is much more pronounced than my first 2 grows...basement reeks right now. Looks like 2 phenos, light green covered in frost on two and purple/green covered in frost on two. The buds are fat, dense, long and covered in sugar with big calyxes. All fans will be washed with ice bags for a preview of the sugar trim hash. I’m thinking I could beat my last grow yield, which was 8.5 ozs plus 2 ozs of great sugar trim for hash. Pics from this last week plus some after the fans were trimmed. I will update dry, trim, cure, weigh in and smoke report over the next few weeks. My new 5 gallon grow buckets just showed up today, upgrading from 3 gallon for yield. It will take more water each time, but should take longer between watering. Next grow will be another xl yield auto, green crack, seeds are due here next weeks. I ordered a few fems also and got a bunch of freebies coming as well. The plan is to let these grow without topping for hopefully some monster primary buds.
