They looked better right after lights on. I used the garden sprayer before lights out and just soaked the foliage with RO.
The plan went off without a hitch. I have eight top clones and eight 4-tops - for now. I gave the 4-tops some coconut water and leftover aloe.
I had other stuff to do so I left them there for now. The lower limbs on most of them had a finding nemo limb on one side so the manifold is just waiting for me to get around to it. Might even leave them as two tops with all their lower limbs instead of pruning up for flowers. In 10 days we'll be halfway to flip so that'll be a decision point.
The "leftover aloe" was all the goo that leaked out into the water when I got the clones doctored up. All are 45'd just below a node then jammed in the aloe chunk to rest for a few hours. Lots of aloe and water everywhere but at the end there's no water needed. All the exudates from the aloe went into the bucket with the RO for the flowers. If this works consistently I have one or two products removed from my supply chain needs. Score! They went into horticubes after a few hours.
The Grandpa's stash is gonna need a little more than the 49 days. I'll give it a close look on the 3rd but I think closer to 8 weeks. Chunky tops and thick pinecone buds. The Velvet Heat behind it is a RedPop male cross from Exotic. It was a freebie, and I think I am glad that I didn't buy any of that line. It is beautiful and has a light purple to yellow on the underside of the leaves. It has a smell that is exactly like that cheap-ass "red pop" - which I bet means the male is dominant and no matter what I bought it would probably smell like this
But the Member Berry might be a 7-week-er.
Nice fade started a few days ago, and it's like sugar crystals on the tops
No new pistils!!! YAY!!!
And this is the lowest larfiest nug - showing exceptional gland plumpness and apparent greasiness
A zoom at how oily the trichs look. Cloudy too. No Nutes baby, worms and microbes did that shit.
