These are smelling and looking very nice. #1 is by far the best, not that i could easily reverse that decision. That donor is happily transplanted and growing. With only better watering habits being the difference from the first run to the second run, it clearly has a major impact. Leaves were strong and symptom free the first run, but everything looks better the 2nd run and it looks to be more developed.
See amber on top. Still plenty of glassy trichomes below, but i'm going to weight physical appearance a bit more this harvest. Trichomes are still the track, but accepting the limitations and lack of understanding of what it correlates to. The trichomes on the top layer are not as ripe as any that are tucked away in the conglomerate of what makes up a bud. I often see foggy and amber triches very early in process. Those just don't disappear, but they may be covered up... still ripening and degrading, i'd assume. What trichomes we see are a minority of what exists, possibly?
Anyway, Once the plant looks ripe and i don't see many clear/glassy trichomes, this plant will be harvested. See how the high compares to a ~64 day cycle vs what is likely to be 8 weeks or less. Stigmata have changed over 8-9 days at this point. (couple days before last update). It has been a swift transition.
Unless maturity is the primary reason, feeding habits also seem to impact time to flower. Being clones, these are much older plants than the first run.
