Here we are end of week 9 and this girl is coming right along. Buds have swelled up and are showing some nice colours. Buds got big enough that one of the lower branches broke right at the stalk. No big deal, happens sometimes with no support. A quick garden tie and she's all fixed. Guess no more moving this one around until harvest if I can help it. Speaking of harvest, I would say two weeks at the most, probably closer to 10 days. Trichomes are 70/30 cloudy/clear, with no visible deterioration and no reds. Nice and sticky buds with a stanky fruity smell.
Did give her a small defoliation mid week, just removing and dried/crispy but nothing major. Just removing stuff not producing energy while trying to minimize any shock so she can finish smoothly.
