Here I'm slightly defoliating her to slow down the vertical growth, also pruning the stem a bit. Watering was sporadical, sometimes with nutrients, sometimes with plain water and the deficiencies arrived later :-)
I don't remember if there were pistils or not at the end of the week, but this one is definitely a vegetation week. I'm still rubbing the stem to slow down the main cola here
Flowering since day 3 or 4 of the week, I clearly can see pistils formed at the last picture :-D
Don't remember how was the week, but I already went to a lazy mode regarding the plant and she seems to appreciate me not bothering her
Woopie doobie doo. Not much happened here except that part of my old led lamp died - one of the veg segments is off now, hence the redness on the photo. And I guess about this time I pruned few lower branches
Ok so this is the last week I'm backfilling, all good. The pistils are white and I didn't yet check the trichomes, no reason to do it. Wifey super happy with the smell of it. Me too
2 weeks more and a cut. This lady is on 12/12 since 21/11, first pistils came a week later.
Strange but she smells like an apple! And not the green one but kinda generic garden apple. I took 2 cuttings in case she'll turn out wonders in other ways
I'm coming back to the technique of reducing the yield - drunk burglary!
My stash is almost empty and now I have a small rosin press, which gives me the ability to get fucked up in 10 minutes after cutting a branch. Even no drying required! If you're okay with dabbing green goo. Though it's still super tasty and I'm definitely in for dabbing.
Apart from that, all seem fine. Strangely but a couple of branches have white pistils mostly. I'm not flushing yet. Probably will try to give it one more week and then flush. Trichomes are mostly milky, some still transparent. But patience gods crave for the sacrifice already!
M-m-m-m-m-mold!
The humidity makes its own job, I already had that with this strain once. Dehumidifying now almost impossible except buying some special dehumidifier IDK, which is not in my plans, and I can't see any other fast solution. So I'm trying an express flushing with 48-72 hours of darkness. Buds already started to lose the color though, hoping for not super tough smoke
Moooold spoiled everything, and I was reminded that being too greedy makes you sad in the end. But not much in my case. Another lesson learned. 120g is a possible weight, I managed to save dried around 70g, hence no pictures on scales. Who cares! I don't like contests
I am surprised you had mold at 67% humidity. Is the extraction on 24/7? I also defoliate a fair bit lately to combat this and if humidity is high I will leave my oscillating fan on 24/7. With this combo I have had my lights off humidity rise to 90% and not a hint of mold in sight although I fully understand some strains are more prone than others.
It’s a bit of a cough lock when harvested at 10 weeks so I bet you swill still get a nice balanced high pulling it a little eary.
Also interestingly enough I have seen two lab studies which showed flushing vs not flushing shows little difference so I wouldn’t worry too much, which also corresponds to what I have found although I still flush out of principle
@bobtheblob, yeah man press up some rosin and chill👍 Maybe just leave the extraction on 24/7 to be on the safe side. Better for them to be a little cold sometimes than risk mold. I always have it on 24/7 and never had mold indoors.
Oh but I have had mold growing outside and it’s a right pain in the ass when it gets going. Onwards and upwards👍
@Esoteric_growing, it went up at some point reaching something around 75, then back to 65 but probably that's enough to keep it alive, also the humidity sensor is hanging somewhat high, not the most humid place probably. The fan is on 24/7 and I'm thinking of getting a second one and putting it on the other side of the box 😬 In the 'gang of four' diary I had a similar scheme with lights and fan in one timed socket and also caught mold with Critical Kush and Blue Dream, Pineapple Chunk and one another strain had no issues ..
I actually tend to blame one of the monster plants that went out of control, it sweats and ruins everything. And myself, of course. 😅 Extraction is not on 24/7 yet but yeah sometimes it's 'press some buds first and make some coffee later' in the morning 😁
Yeah looking like it’s going 66-70 days, I might give this strain a go. Normally stacks a bit of weight towards the end so try not to be too greedy with the pressing lol.
Looks nice and healthy pal👍
@bobtheblob, haha good news is it’s still going to pack on a lot more weight for your press happy fingers😜 my pal got some real nice yield off these so hope your goes the same way
Lovely looking plant, my pal ran this strain many times and most phenos went a full ten weeks so careful not to flush too early.
Also I see a few leaves have slight tip burn but they seem to be handling the 2.4 EC like a champ👍
I am definitely interested in this one buddy👍 It’s looking great
@Esoteric_growing, not really, I feel some hints of it when dabbing, and more like an apple air freshener, but when smoked in joints it's mostly sweet, hard to describe the exact taste. Dank, I guess
