🌿 Mellow Jelly - Frost Factory & Full Recovery!? ❄️❤️?
Let's go! Welcome to Week 16 for the Mellow Jelly. Hopefully, she is fully recovering from the thrips madness we had to deal with. Judging by how she is stacking up this week, I'd say she shook it off and is pushing hard to the finish line!
📈 The Details / Progress Report:
Bouncing Back: She took the defoliation and pest cleanup perfectly. While you can still spot a few old battle scars on the older fan leaves, the upper canopy is completely focused on flower production. The airflow is dialed in, and she is putting all her energy into those buds.
Extreme Frost: Just look at the macro shots! 🤯 The resin production is absolutely out of this world right now. The sugar leaves and calyxes are completely caked in a thick, sticky layer of white trichomes.
Swelling Up: The colas are getting incredibly dense and chunky. We are starting to see a lot of those pistils curl inward and turn a beautiful fiery orange, but she is still pushing some fresh white hairs, which means she is still packing on weight! 🔥
Canopy Structure: Opening her up last week really paid off. The light is penetrating down to all those mid-canopy bud sites perfectly, ensuring we get solid development from top to bottom.
💧 Next Steps:
We beat the bugs hopefully, so now we are officially in the coasting phase! The main goal right now is to keep the environment perfectly stable and start keeping a really close eye on those trichomes. We are getting into the final stages, so it is all about letting her swell up even more and waiting for that perfect harvest window.
She is an absolute beast! Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨
