☀️ // Day 50 🍁
The grow came to an end. The symptoms worsened. I only gave water in the last 1-2 weeks and reduced the light intensity. The buds, or rather the bracts themselves, look absoluetly fine. Very frosty, almost all pistils turned orange and folded themselves into the bracts. Frost level is insane, as expected. I don't know what happened to her, my watering was on point when it comes to pH, nutrients and intervals. But something was deeply wrong. The symptoms came quickly. She looked fine 2 weeks ago and then everything went downhill.
When I looked into the soil after harvest, I found out that both Bio Tabs fertilizer tablets were almost intact. So maybe I put them too far to the edge of the pot. And maybe a little bit too deep as well, I don't know. That these tablets looked only moist and were still completely intact is at least an indictation that the equilibrium in the soil was not stable at the end of flower. I will do better next time and see how it goes. There's always something to learn.
The smell of the plant is very gas-forward. I don't get sweetness anymore or anything that reminds of dessert, which I hope will change after the drying process and the cure. But the smell is fucking strong and very nice nevertheless.
Looking forward to the next grow, which I will start in the upcoming week. The review on the Puff Pastry will be written in about a month, as always. Let's just hope that the cripsy fan leafs didn't fuck the buds up. The Puff Pastry is now hanging in the VGrow with a humidity between 58 and 60 % and temperature between 19 and 22 °C. I hope for a slow drying process between 7 and 10 days.
