Day 43/56: Hi growmies. We are rolling along nicely with the flowering period of these Expert ladies.
The Mimosa Lemon continues to look huge from a distance but like any political party , up close it doesn't have a lot of substance to it. I suppose the Mimosa will prove herself in a few weeks time unlike our political elite !. lol
She is a beautiful lemony scent that is a sweet and not acidic aroma. Her flowers are single pods with pistils clearly visible jnstead of the usual melded in sacs pushing the white hairs we are used to seeing
I think she will be a very potent lady and base that in how she is raatinf resin and oils so far
she will be a pain to trim and dry with her possible finish but would be a perfect candidate for extractions. I have started her on the shogun Dragon force for the next part of their cycle and am hopeful of a good finish with her. Swell weeks ahead !.
Glueberry has continued to get her groove on with some very nice sticky and fruity buds buried among the bushy girls frame. I do regret not doing a defol but she was in recovery from the underwatering I had been doing and would have been possibly stunted more She has such a sweet/diesel tune to her now amdnreminds me so much of her gg4 lineage ( personal ,desert island strain by choice.lol) She has a lot of growth within her small frame but getting light below decks is not easy with her bushiness.
she will be an interesting yield hopefully.
I have also now started their week using the Shogun Dragon force finisher. I do rate this product and their whole range and as a user for many years now , I had hoped they would sponsor a grow with a complete @shogunnutrients run. here's hoping!!!. lol
The Dragon force will replace their normal feed for a week. it provides a boost to the usual slowing down period at the flowering cycles near end point. When fade out begins to show , it can re invigorate them with balanced ratios that this part of the cycle needs and stop the plant decimating her stores and power plant, fan leaves . There is nothing I find less attractive than a "2 week flushed" plant that really needed the green chlorophyll to help finish the push to survive. It can miss the beneficial oil and rescue attempt to keep her last flush and hope of survival , alive.
We adopt many odd techniques that induce major stress at the near end of the cycle in the hope of creating a final push of thc and oil. Things like stem splitting or snapping the mains a few days before harvest to simulate an animal attempting to eat them. This product offers the same without the risk for me.
So there we have it this update folks. A good week and only about 20 days to go . fingers crossed I keep mould at bay till then.
@PurpleWorship,craziest result but smokes so nicely and all the thin stems grind with the bud with no harshness too. I have seeds from its pollen chuck that are growing very similar but a lot more bud like structure. Smells like it with a fruity hint too. Smokes perfect too.
@TightNugs,it put putbmale pollen sacs low down too so I got lemon mimosa crossed with the whole strain variety that run. Some great looking seeds from it. Possible new hybrids autos . Winner all round thankfully.
Wow that is an amazing looking plant, congrats. On the photos and in the video the buds look pink, reddish pink kind of color. Is that really how its looks in real life?
@YoungGrower6789,it does look like that close up. really odd plant. now all dried and somehow needs harvesting but it looks so like small berries than buds still amdnvery open structure too. harvest report tos coming next day or so so should be good on yield. strange lady indeed bit smells amd crumbles perfectly amd such a high limonene aroma too . smelly little lady. lol
Your ML really looks unique. I have two plants myself growing, one looks very much like yours (still in week 12 - 7th of flowering), all stretched with thin branches and her buds all over the place (very sativa like). The other one is a different pheno, short, stocky, with clear pine structure but plenty of side branches. Colas are dense and relatively big (her overall height is about 37cm, and her main cola is about the size of a RedBull can). The big one has a lemony scent however the small one is much more subtle with only a hint of it. I am expecting the indica type one to come to harvest time relatively quickly but the other one, judging by yours, would take a while to finish.
In any case, I salute you and congratulate on your amazing work (not just with this diary). Happy growing mate
@FreshRob,wow Rob thank you buddy. I am shocked at how it has turned out right at the last minute. hanging them has made them look more completed as a budspike but I know its only gravity doing it. lol Really off phe o and very like a classic Dr Grinspoon which jas a crazy long flowering time but is a very rare grow to see now due to this. I worried it had some innit genetics as even at the end of the 12th week , it could have still gone on I think.. hearing your experience too has me thinking it is more a pheno difference than a wrong seed in the pack so thanks for that brother. I have some more seeds so will hopefully get the other pheno too at some point.
@HirdoWeirdo,Thank you. I am looking forward to the mimosa Lemon finish now. seems she needs a lot more than the 8/9 weeks on this phenotype and is only now pushing her second pistil burst. An interesting result seems apparent now. lol. thanks for the positives.
@Smokwiri,thanks buddy. certainly honk the lemon in there now. makes my mouth tingle when i go in the tent.lol
The Glueberry nicely balances the smell now its fruity.
