Another week closer to the finish line and the Chicken N' Wafflez continued to mature beautifully.
Temperatures remained stable at 24°C during lights on and 20°C at night with a steady 50% RH, creating a comfortable environment for late flower development. 🌱
The most noticeable change this week was the continued increase in resin production. The buds and sugar leaves became even more coated in trichomes, giving the plant a frosted appearance from top to bottom. ❄️
The fade also progressed significantly, with deep purple tones spreading across much of the foliage and adding a lot of visual appeal. 💜
Bud development continued as well, although the flowers seemed to stack more vertically than expand outward. While they did gain some additional mass, the most obvious change was their increased length and structure rather than overall width.
The main cola especially continued to build upward and now stands out as an impressive spear-shaped top. 🔥
Feeding remained very simple this week with only water and CalMag. Water consumption stayed consistent, showing that the plant is still actively transpiring but has likely entered the final stages of maturation. 💧
The aroma profile is becoming more defined. Alongside the sweet jam-like notes, a subtle spicy character has emerged, backed by a light gassy undertone. The combination creates a rich and unique scent that becomes more noticeable every day. 🍯
Trichome development is progressing nicely, with the majority now appearing milky while a smaller portion remains clear. Harvest is getting closer, but there is still a little room left for the plant to finish ripening. ✨
Overall, Week 12 was defined by increased frost, stronger colors, continued bud stacking and steady maturation. The Chicken N' Wafflez is looking healthy, highly resinous and is shaping up to be a very attractive late-flower plant. 🌿
