18x plants, clones
5x different strains
3x "Exotic Witch" plants, clones of female regulars
I had some doubts this week. Trichome production is slow to start, and the plants have too many leaves. Some plants are clearly doing better than others, but I have certainly grown better varieties of RQS. 😕 But if you're looking for something unique, these regulars are excellent. 😍 All 5 of the brand new regulars strains of RQS are unique in their scent and aroma. 👍 In my original first outdoor culture of these regulars (see other diaries) the indicated harvest time of early October turned out to be totally unrealistic. 😠 That's why my goal now is to get some unique phenos of these ladies. This will certainly work.
The predominantly Indica 'Exotic Witch' plants all have a very pleasant sweet Kush aroma, combined with a more acidic West Indies sativa scent. 👌 My EW # 4 also has an initially repellent but very intriguing exteme diesel scent. 😝
Thanks to LST and topping, each plant has three main buds. 👍 The plastic plant stakes serve to support the heavy buds. 💪
Due to the many leaves, the plants had a weekly vigorous defoliation. This week they got their last defoliation before harvesting. They are now very bare, but this will give the lower buds a lot of light, allowing all buds to ripen hard. 😛
EW # 1 lots of trichomes, slightly more sativa genetics
EW # 2 fat buds, probably a big yielder
EW # 4 small plant, unique intriguing and repellent fragrance
