Hi Growmies,
welcome back to the grow show!
Weather and Conditions
The weather has been consistently warm this week, with temperatures hovering around 30°C and, once again, not a single drop of rain.
Because of the stable weather, the girls didn't spend a single day inside the greenhouse. There simply wasn't any reason to move them under cover. My rain barrels, however, are slowly but surely running dry.
Growth
The explosive stretch has finally started to slow down. The number of new shoots and side branches isn't increasing much anymore, which means the girls are now putting all their energy into flower production.
Bud development has really taken off this week, and all three ladies are already starting to build up a nice layer of resin.
Papaya Cookies
Papaya Cookies is still the clear front-runner. She's the biggest plant with the highest number of bud sites.
The purple coloration is becoming more intense every day, and resin production is already impressive. Even at this early stage, her aroma is absolutely fantastic.
Definitely my number one so far.
Tangie
Just like in my first grow with this strain, Tangie is taking her time.
She's still stretching a little while slowly building her buds. Resin production has started nicely, and that unmistakable Tangie aroma is already coming through. I know from experience she'll reward my patience later on.
Apricot
Because I accidentally snapped her main stem during LST a couple of weeks ago, Apricot remains the smallest of the three and has the fewest bud sites.
However, the buds she does have are incredibly frosty already. She's also by far the stickiest plant in the greenhouse, and her terpene profile is absolutely amazing. Every time I touch her, my fingers feel like they've been covered in glue.
Feeding
I'm not changing anything as long as the girls keep looking this happy.
Currently they're getting T.A. TriPart nutrients at one-third of the recommended dosage twice a week, alternating with a weekly feeding of Bokashi juice.
So far, they seem to love the routine.
Pests
Time to pay a little more attention.
I've noticed some greenhouse aphids and quite a few ants on my cucumber plants. Luckily, none of the cannabis plants are affected at the moment.
Since the girls are already well into flowering, I don't want to use neem oil anymore. If necessary, I'll switch to insecticidal soap, but for now everything is still under control.
Final Thoughts
I'm really happy with how this grow is progressing.
The stretch is coming to an end, the buds are stacking nicely, resin production is increasing every day, and the first terpene profiles are becoming more noticeable.
Now let's hope the good weather sticks around for a few more weeks.
That's it for this week, my friends.
Catch ya next week!
