And here we are — the final week before harvest!
Ripening is progressing steadily, and by the end of the week, the ladies seem to have reached their peak.
The aroma is absolutely enchanting. It reminds me a little of some Gelato varieties, but with a very distinct character of its own. Something truly special! 🌸
The colours are becoming more and more impressive as well. Some of the leaves have developed such an intense purple colour that they almost look black. Even the buds are showing increasingly beautiful colours, with plenty of purple tones appearing throughout the flowers. 💜🖤
The trichomes have now reached what looks like the peak of their maturity. One of the buds is already showing signs of starting to dry out, and even the trichomes on it seem to be drying up as well.
And, well... what would this final inspection be without a little surprise?
While checking the trichomes, we also discovered signs of bud rot in the biggest bud. Of course, that's not exactly what we wanted to find at this stage. 😂
But we're not going to let that get us down now. We knew what we were getting into, and we consciously decided to take this risk.
Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned, but that's part of the journey.
The finish line is finally here. One last look at this little genetic mystery before harvest! 👀🤞💚
