Footage dates: Sept 2, 10, 11, 15 Strains: Opium • Cali Crasher • Sour Puffs • DC Kush Stage: Late Flower / Ripening Complete 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
