She's a stretchy girl! Looking great!

Test plant update! It's recovering pretty well from it's photoperiod crime ( never did get that guy's plate number). Making a big old cola despite being robbed of all it's sun leaves and left to subsist on mutated leaflets from hell. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Well here we are 11 days later...and sure enough, it's time to flip. Touching the walls now. .

Looking fantastic!

My thoughts exactly! Probably at least another 10 days of this to fill her up. Not expecting this to stretch much at all after the flip, which will be a change from the usual jungle scene here. I'm saving a few lower branches for clone production for now, but those will be coming off soon too...

Second round of bending + leaf and shoot removal done. Really staying after this because it shades itself pretty badly with those big honking leaves right over the growing shoots. Using a bloom solution now but still in 18. The main stem is kind of brittle so it has to be wired in good shape at...

That's exactly what I do...ask my wife and everyone I can what they think! Eventually you get a consensus. Most of the time.

Isn't that frustrating? Liking an aroma but being unable to describe it? I have this issue all the time. I need to go to some kind of "Aroma School" so I can learn how to do this better lol.

I wasn't going to post this because this "test" plant of the mother of the number #1 pheno is pretty funky looking because it had it's light period interrupted several times as well as living a rough life being moved all over the damn place. As a result, the buds are a bit "confused" at the...

Thanks Zap. These are a bit more indica-ish than what I usually run so this should be interesting!

Update on this rather slow moving project: 2 phenos are underway doing the 18 hour thing, maybe for a little longer this time as these phenos are pretty squat with short internodes. These didn't seem to like the usual dosage of nitrogen I was using but am getting that dialed in now. Pheno #2...

Looking good! I think you're right about the phenos - the wavy, long, slender-waisted leaves with closely spaced serrations in the last pic sure look a lot like the #3, and the fat somewhat-symmetrical leaves with widely spaced serrations looks much like #4. The growth pattern also looks...

Done drying and ready to cure. Super-duper sugary with an subtle elegant aroma that's really hard to describe. Even the overall color palette is "lemony" to the eye. :love:

Totally agree. Super happy with this pheno. The other 3 I had were also very interesting and enjoyable. Hard to go wrong with this strain! Really glad I held out on the bulk of it - these little scopes are really useful for tempering my desire to harvest based on the naked eye.

"OK down it comes"- Me, late Thursday. In fact, it did NOT all come down! In the interest of science, I cut down the one (smallest) plant which seemed to be ahead of the others, and let the others ripen for a full two more days. And I'm glad I did! The sugar build-up just over those two days...

Thanks! I am using a fairly inexpensive digital microscope I got on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G4Y6C65/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (FWIW it's on sale now) I like this one because it has a stage to put things on and a geared column to hold the scope -there...

OK down it comes. Almost all fully swollen milky trichomes now, a few brown ones appearing. Also getting the aroma I was waiting for. Finally! Should be a relatively pleasant trim - this strain is very easy to wet trim compared to a lot of others, and my ruthless leaf and small branch removal...

Pretty much how I judge it - I am not going exclusively by the appearance of the trichomes, I'm also waiting for the terpenes to become a little more apparent, which happened last round right on the last day. And the "sugar look" thing you mention - it's still not quite there, and still a good...

Probably going to wait until tomorrow unless people scream "CUT IT NOW, YOU FOOL!" en masse :LOL: Let these partially clear heads fog and swell up a bit more.

Really want to pull the trigger as I have some help tonight but am still waffling on whether to wait another day. Not seeing many brown trichomes no matter where I look and still a good quantity of clear ones. What say ye, wise folks? Snip or wait?
