==> Lights set to 60% power for last 10 days
Harvested the next morning (day 66 flower) before lights on! πππππππππ
She turned purple/grey nearly all over :D ππππππππ
The buds are gorgeous with swollen calyxes and grey/purple/green colors! ππ
The resin seems to have ripened pretty uniformly, with most resin glands being cloudy and a few transparent :D π
===>>>>> π Her resin is very oily! When I touch the buds it nearly feels wet from the resin ππππ <<<<===
***** HARVESTED *****
Dry method: ........................ entire plant upside down in 18-19c 55%rh
Dry time: ............................... 10-11 days
Dry weight: ........................... 55g π³
Yield per square meter: ... 248g/m^2 π³
Current rh in pots: ............. 68%rh (aiming for 60-63%)
==> Took a bong hit of her to test, already the effect is stronger than average, lasted well beyond 3 hours and had hints of body-balance effects kind of like edibles! Quality over quantity on this phenotype π
************************
===============> Will update with pics and most importantly the smoke test, rosin press results & review AFTER 6-8 WEEKS OF CURE :D
=>> She has great aromas that are sweet, sour π a bit fruity and skunky and spicy π it is difficult to describe π and will definitely evolve during the drying and cure π <<=
@Slurpy_Terpy,
Cheers thanks, yeah I'm also looking at boosting terps/oils, geranyl related metabolism and caproic and sebacic acid stuff. Oh and kaurenoic acid, and ent-kaurene.
Like just today, I made a flower(like 40 different flowers)/leaf tea, coz I experiment a lot. I'll be giving that to some plants (I've done similar stuff many times and it's been quite good). Another I once made that seemed to be quite effective was like a weird mulberry + milk sort of fermentation. Unfortunately it's winter though (which I mostly use for pollinating things), but yeah I still get indications.
I get stupid terps in soil though (supremely dense dark clay).
But I mean, I wouldn't actually suggest people do that sort of thing, unless they feel like experimenting and knowing the potential of damaged plants, etc.
@sir_isO,
Thanks mate!
Im saving up for uvb to boost the terpenes for next grow! I still don't have as many terpenes as I would like - I added the botanicare pure blend tea this grow, it helped but I want the strongest most characteristic smell possible :D
Good luck on your grows :D
@PeppaWutz,
Thanks for the support!
Thats my n1 priority :D
For now I am trying to preserve the terps... Im at 5 days drying currently 17.5c 60%rh with the entire plants untrimmed upside down, trying to reach 10-14 days dry time before curing π
@BigDickBazuso,
Hey thanks for your kind words!
The buds are currently at 17 days cure, 63%rh feeling sticky and spongy I still burp nearly every day because the buds are very sticky/oily and flexible π
@Terpyboyz, bro the new series zake, kroma, shimo, korenji, i am growing 1x of each of them and 3/4 are super terpy and very very good smelling (the zake does not have much smell, I think it is bad luck with the pheno, but 3/4 amazing smells is very good already!). Korenji smells like vitamin C, kroma smells like kmintz but more sweet and dank and better overall, shimo smells similar but with more sherbert og funk in there, they all smell great and highly recommended. I tried break pad breath aswell half a year ago, it was good and a bit similar, pretty powerful but these new plants smell stronger and more special :D good luck with your grows
@AccyStoner25,
Hey m8 thanks for the kind words!
So all I do is top and remove minor branches and remove fan leaves (which also end up blocking light for other plants), the knuckles slowly form after topping, I didn't do any intense bending or 'cracking' of the branches to get the knuckles.
