Buds - big , resionous and firm , quite firm already without any drying should be big quater Oz buds on top with smaller gram buds down below , already I've noticed in this grow this was one of the topped and trained in a SCROG setting and it achieved great results , these big buds are worth losing the tops as all side braches grew fairly even canopy and a very top heavy flower setting where all the bottoms where stripped in week 6 after STRECTH has ended do not attempt with flower still in strecth as this will result in stunned growth ... bottom stripping , ScroG and TOPPING all played a role in this successful harvest ... we managed to push power up to all branches and creat topswhen we need the plant to do this in nature this does not happen although we can change the plants behaviour with various types of training and techniques...
This was my frist topping and ScroG without help as a 1 and 11 plants to attended for and not much time on my hands personally . With that said I choose too make as most of it as possible automated with lights fans and heating and humidity controller was all nessacary and pretty cheap , I used all amazon budget materials with free shipping ... everything was still on a super budget ... total cost running for 11 plants for electrical stuff running cost and nutes soil ... everything less than 1500$ 1200€ 1000£ something around this ... total , my frist two plants have covered my cost , I intend to smoke it all people ... Some fine smoke it's gonna be
Anyone to say it's too early the buds on this plant where ready
The buds on cream Mandarin xl auto aren't as super dense nugs as the gorilla girl but dense buds none the less
Gorilla girl buds are rock solid nugs literally I hit my chin of the plant and it fucking intally scared me as I though it was something more solid than a plant within millisecond I realised it was a plant ... stoners mind .. .
BLACK CREAM, getting chopped soon it's nearly ready it's buds are as solid but massive it size , these buds are gonna rival in weight but 100% not in plant weight the last number 3# pheno the green black cream will undoubtedly put on better weight as it's size is pretty big and number 2# it's very very small plant
Overall over the next few weeks we will be doing a staggered harvest as expected and WET trimming buds into cardboard boxes for now then once room is finished I'll turn it into a drying room and hopefully hang one or two plants whole
Gorilla girl xl auto still has a dank peppery smell seriously dank
Black cream auto is tropical fruits and Berrys
Cream Mandarin xl auto is defainly a citrus heaven with that earthy background, you'd think I was putting pepper on my oranges earlier today with the Ona PRO block 170g you can't smell anything from outside the plastic mylar which is far from sealed although the smell is trapped inside and is filtered out by a brand new RAM 180m2 hr filter with 180m2 inline filter pulling air out of the tent as the lights have temps at 23.0c and lights are now 24 hours as the stuff drying I can't risk mould or temp fluctuations and humidity changing and causing mould and damaging the entire harvest though I think plants will preform firm even after damaging some leaves I'm confident I can finish harvest with bigger quialty buds pushing them in the last week or two is a risk I'm willing to take
