Day 42 flowering: What a start to this update with the #3 Mango cream being ready for harvest NOW!!!. She has been maturing very quickly during the last few weeks and I have been concerned that she was somehow going towards a toxicity issue. Her buds began darkening really early in flower and I thought it looked very different to the others. As the last week has passed I have been looking at her trichrones with the microscope as they oustils had all gone majority brown too. They had mostly clouded and a couple of odd amber spheres were visible too. as the week went on I saw more begin to amber so took her out a day ago too have a dark period before trimmed for drying . She is the first I have ever had this quick in decades of growing !. The video shows her colours off well and her maturity to harvest too. @exoticseeds have a winner here. lol she smells amazing too with a really nice icky sticky feel . I will update her progress once trimmed.
#1 is the smaller of the 3 remaining ladies now ansneven with the #4 beingna week behind her she is still the smallest in height. Her buds are nice and chunky and just as we hit the budswell period too , so shebshould finish with some nice sized colas.
#2 Mango is a beast of a plant and by far the largest. Her main is a beast of a cola already with the side branching really picking up some size now too. A brilliant example of the strain I think. Her main is really tacky to touch and the nice smell it leaves all over my fingers is mouth-watering now. She should yield very well.
#4Mango at day 35 looks very like the #3 plant for her bud appearance. slightly different pheno i think. More like a wedding cake strain but still very nice and colourful. She has been using pellets in the soil mix and just waterings but they are not good in my opinion and I have had to add megacrop to keepnher growing well now I waited as long as I dare to see if the pellets helped in flower but even using the second part of the feed has not helped. The megacrop has already begun to colour them back up to a more healthy green so i am hoping I can keep her happy until harvest now. She is pushing out a very nice fruity smell now too.
I am looking forward to trying the photoperiod strains I have from exotic now and will be germinating Herz Og and Quick sherbet in a couple of weeks time for the summer run.
Top genetics from a great breeder . Thank you Exotic.
###UPDATE###UPDATE###UPDATE###
The Mango cream #3 has been in the dark for the past 48hrs and has now been trimmed and is hanging to dry. She will be dried low and slow now for approx 10-14 days at around 15-17°C in a large cardboard box with a steady air exchange. She has a surprising size and weight to her for such a short time from seed and is as finished as any plant i have harvested before . What an amazing little lady she has been to grow She looked a little stunted initially and soon filled the pot she was in. 20L was way too small for these genetics to flourish and at least a 30L would be my advice. Happy days , let's see what she yields dried while we wait for her sisters to join her. Be well Growmies
@Ferenc,Thank you. i am pleasantly surprised with the little fatties at this stage , smell is a nice surprise too. really has a mango smell now. Inthought it would be like many that claim a certain fruit but just smell "fruity" on harvest but they really want to impress I think. Thanks for the support Ferenc
@Ganjagrandaddy, haha niiiice! Yes the artwork we have is by far one of the best out there in my opinion. Not tooting the old horn but it's pretty badass! @Exotic_Seed 💯
@Polaskis,My pleasure. jumped out at me on your site as I gazed at it with dribble on my chin. lol
looking very strong out of the ground too . No soak just straight in the coco plug and boom , up they all came. thank you
@@Mr_Cannab1sir,Thanks Mr C. This is my 1st run with their genetics but the 100% germination on the mango has me hopeful and confident.lol. seen a few other breeders struggling to match it. lol
The other autos are to keep a perpetual winter grow going just to keep the lights/heat on longer and I am hoping to get a better understanding of how to best grow autos for my room. I am usually a photperiod grower and have only done 1 auto grow in the past , I also have some of their photo strains to try too. looking forward to finding out how good they are. Thanks for the positive vibes brother. be safe and well.
