I’ve been adding other components such as tannins and surfactants (among others) to improve the recipe (which I won’t disclose out of respect for my research). What’s incredible is that the aromas have developed significantly—they retain their distinct edges, although the main pillar of the cross is still “mint/toothpaste/sweet.” However, the sweet notes in one phenotype are already beginning to shift toward aromas more like hops/mint/pine/resin/honey.
The bulking phase is progressing well, with no nutrient burn or deficiencies.
Micro-irrigation is key.
Trichomes are developing as they should—some more than others due to differences in flowering time. That’s the fun of working with crosses that maintain some variability despite their similarities in an F1 generation.
I’ve photographed the 7 phenotypes—the photos didn’t turn out very well, but still, enjoy.
