Next post: Harvest update (separate)
🌸 Flowers at Peak:
By early September, all plants reached full maturity.
Buds are fat, tight, fully stacked. Trichomes are now mostly cloudy with 5–15% amber, especially on Sour Puffs and DC Kush.
Opium shows the longest ripening window — still pushing white pistils into Week 18.
💎 Trichomes:
Shimmering in the sun, thick coverage.
Some foxtailing visible on the sunniest tops (natural, not stress-induced).
Aroma is intense — gassy, fruity, and spicy notes depending on strain.
🍃 Fading & Finish:
Leaves are fading beautifully. Controlled senescence — yellow tones from the bottom, with some red/purple hints on DC Kush.
No signs of overfeed or flush-burn.
📽️ Videos show:
Colas bending under their own weight
Excellent density and frost level
Clean, pest-free buds — no visible mold or rot despite intense heat
Feeding:
No additional inputs during this phase. Plants running on stored nutrients — fade is clean.
Some light waterings only, no further amendments after BioBloom.
🌞 Weather (Malta):
Dry September sun with high UV — perfect final ripening window
Cooler nights help bring out color and terpene lock-in
