WEEK #23 — THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Spoiler: Just moments before the axe. Slush Mint Cake has lost a few stems already during the week, great evening occupation. Im still not so sure about her. The blossoms and general impression looks totally ready imo, and some leaves even turned „necrotic“/crispy. The smell is heavy and nice, with a certain, kinda insane spiciness. But there are almost no amber colored trichomes. Like really just a few scattered ones. But all things must end. Worst case the result is not perfect, i guess, and will it even get better on the other hand with a few more days? Well, i have one seed left, so i can find out next time. 😎
Reasons for that could be plenty: the switch of fertilizer last minute and connected change of ph. And again, also might be because of the tacky LED-controller: i realised touching it the wrong way just resets it (fml). And how have i found out? Because the light was switched on way later as it was supposed to be. The solution then was to re-apply the „scene“ in the App and it magically works again. Manual timer switch has been ordered already. 0 points, dear Mars Hydro (maybe it's bad luck and incompetence from my side, take it with a grain of salt).
And that's — i guess — also the reason (spoiler) why i found some bananas in the Bottom half of Skywalker Haze. And i surely do not blame the genetic for that (at all). Hmpf 💩. Well, still lucky this happened right before the showdown, so it want matter all that much, i suppose.
Back to Business: SMC very, very pretty. Rich and loaded all over, pictures speak for themselves i think (have a look at last entry as well, please).
For Skywalker: clear visible Amber trichomes, especially on the top buds. White ones not so easy to distinguish from the clear ones (at least for me) The outer most tips of the leaves turned light, so another sign of the advanced state of the plant. I Like. Some cute pink tips as well. Similar to SMC rather small buds, but hey, if qualityquantity thats Fine for me. 🤩
Also a very pretty plant, with a more classic look, dense, a slightly more proportion of leaves. Smell? Yes its true: lemony-herby all oover, in a way also spicy Rich (lemon Pepper).
In fact both plants have been harvested, for Skywalker mainly the top Part, as the bottom buds were light and soft. As i have mentioned before, probably should have removed them After Stretch, but: All buds are equal, the deserve it. Let's see what will happen.
So far: Bravo Dutch Passion for both These extraordinary strains, looking forward to the final results and the effect of both.
See you in about 3-4 weeks with the "harvest" posts, peace! 🙏
