๐The plant is a solid dense bush. I've increased the fan speed to help circulation. The leaves will remain long as the plant is using them. I've removed some lower leaves at the lower area that were starting to look haggard. The buds are getting fat. Nice plump pine cones. The frost is spreading like crazy. The tent aroma is an oddly sweet dank smell. An up close whiff of a bud, gives a light, almost putrid, sweet aroma. The unpleasant putrid-ness of the aroma has started to fade towards the end of the week as the overall aroma of the plant has gotten stronger.
๐Ive given a consistent volume of solution which is enough to have as much as 50% run-off volume. The run-off EC hasn't increased and is consistently lower than the inflow. The pH also is staying in range and stable in the run-off. I didn't give it an H20 only low Ec irrigation till today. I should probably do it a little more frequently but the time available to perform a high volume rinse isn't that easy to come by. Since the run-off stats are good and the plant shows no issues, I should be good.
@@FirstCough, I appreciate your kind words. It's really hard to see the full size of the colas because of all the leaves. The buds are getting plump. The Queen cola is going to be a beauty...as long as luck is on my side.
Plant looks great. I like her shape it looks happy. I was gonna ask about the tennis balls too but gussed you would have been asked already๐. Just had to scroll down a bit.. Good luck for the rest of your grow.๐
Wow! Your plants are huge ๐ I already chopped mine yesterday, these plants just wanna flower forever it seems. I was finding new herms every day so I decided to end it, even though there was still a lot of new growth. Interested in seeing your results ๐
@FrogLord, Thanks! I think the stress that was causing the hermed calixes was the reluctance of the trichomes to mature to mostly cloudy. What's also odd about this plant is that it didn't start the new calix growth until it's tent mate was harvested...as if it was devastated that it's lifelong partner was killed. ๐ฟ ๐ท
Looking good mate. I love that raised up grill tray tennis balls. Iโve thought about doing the same sort of thing ages ago itโs so simple, I should think it would be quite tricky to remove when itโs bigger for maintenance but well worth a try good luck mate.
@nelly31, Thanks! The tennis balls are to keep the rack from poking holes in the floor of the tent. They also make it easier to slide the plant around. I don't have to remove my plant from the tent, but if I did the rack also would make it easier to pick up.
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 8 out of 10!! ๐๐โค๏ธ
We hope you enjoy the harvest ๐
Sweet smokes!

@Smokwiri, wow such a hollow gesture. Am I supposed to be excited that you've spammed mine and hundreds of other diaries with the same crap? I'm not honored or impressed. ๐
