This week I chopped the plant (~week 13). It could have gone for another week or two for the trichomes to get more amber. I chopped it since the mildew problem in the buds is ongoing and I needed the space.
Not pictured:
I did try the 3 bucket bud washing technique that some people suggest, but mildew is still visible. I'll let the plant dry and see if anything can be salvaged, though I'm thinking most of it is a loss. I did grab one of the nugs that was full of shockwave seeds, so it's not a total loss--along with learning about mildew and the sativa stretch!
In a week or two, I'll post a few shots of whatever is left. Overall, this strain is amazing. The yield is huge and I'll be growing out a few clones. If there wasn't mildew, the harvest would easily be between 1/4 pound and 1 pound. Each top would be about 7g or more, once dry. The huge cola is probably an ounce itself.
The nugs are more dense than I was expecting, though that may be from the mammoth P. Budrot could be an issue if humidity isn't in check.
@Syrunz, Right!? that one was below my knee during the flip. I figured it was too small to need topping. All the other cola's would've been that full if I didn't top them a few weeks into flower. They would've been twice the height though 😲
bro my sativas are doing the same thing. keyed in some expert advice from some other growers at the growcast slackchat and they said 1 tbsp of epsom salt per week and to try throw down more potassium, maybe molasses or bloom booster might help??
Being that I’m from Hilo Hawaii I’m excited for this one, seen you vanished for a bit, but I’m excited for this update. Really wanna see how they turn out man!!
Gonna be some super frosty sticky buds. I hope for a strong happy and healthy grow. Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!
@xanado18, I know right? well at least it makes me stronger for the future. I do have some cuttings of both a male and female, so I can eventually make more seeds. A female cutting will be ready soon as well. hopefully the wpm will be dead by then.
