Mar 9th
-start of week 11, day 71
- grabbed a few trichome shots this morning. Real macros tonight. Decision time is nearing with ~85-90% cloudy trichomes... clear takes the cake with a few Ambers coming into being... time to look close
- RTB #1 gets a close inspection tonight, I think its first-one Done. Pistils give it away. If there are Ambers to any degree its lights out
- Zamaldelica is beyond normal flowering time, I’m waiting for the pistils to have 60-70% of them turned brown / orange. Thats tonights check.
11th a.m.
- fed the Russian Tzar Bomba 2 & the Zamaldelica, 4 L of water each @ 7:00 a.m.
- RTB#2 was placed in the Dark Tent at Lites-out (11:00) for 48 hours of Dark.
- RTB#1 gets chopped,, weighed and Hung tomorrow morning… after her 48hrs of dark. Its Time!
- Zamaldelica, whilst past her projected grow date by 2 weeks, her Pistils have finally begun to change colours from a Creamy white/yellow to Orange, currently there are close to 20-25% of them turned already. I’m putting her in the dark when 60-70% have turned
12th
- chopped the Russian Tzar Bomba #1 after being in the dark for 48 hours. 372 grams of Hanging-plant to start with.
- RTB #2 is in the dark 24hrs now and gets chopped tomorrow morning
13th
- RTB #2 was chopped and weighed this morning: 380 grams of wet hanging-weight.
It seemed obvious, visually, that the small plant would weigh more. With the bigger structure / frame I was sure the tall plant would produce more. Not so
- Zamaldelica could be chopped Saturday morning…
15th
- last day of week 11 and I believe its the last Nite of Light for the Auto Zamaldelica. 11 full weeks of Love for a 8-9 week auto-cycle. The BBP applications have extended the development of this plant.
BBP is known to add a couple of weeks to some cultivars growth and it has done this to the Zam.
Trichomes are 90% cloudy and the Pistils have remained a yellowy-white. This last week has seen the Pistils begin to Darken and are seem to be retracting Into the buds. Almost 50% have turned. We’ll see in the morning where we are. Not really interested in taking the grow into week 12. We’ll see tonight/tomorrow.
Planning for the plant to enter 48 hrs of dark in the a.m. tomorrow. Last lite for Zam, tonight
16th a.m., took a few images just before the Official Lites-out for this Grow. Zamaldelica was Not part of the official Diary but I could not leave it undocumented, given her fame and poor performance on the 1st attempt. And she shared the Tent!! She’ll be followed and documented, next time
Mar 17th 22:00 pm
- for the record, Auto Zamaldelica tipped the scales at 402 grams. A True Beauty.
- both RTB are hanging nicely @ 60% R.H. and 17.5c
Mar 22nd
- and on day 10 of hanging the RTB# 1 is doing amazing. No branches snapping, hanging in 62% RH @16c. The other plants are just a day or 2 behind. Leaves trimmed etc, all seems perfect
Mar 25th
- day 14 of the cure (targeting 20) and things are fully in cure mode. No branch snaps, at all, when twisting a Nug.
- steady at 16c and 60-62% R.H.
