Aug 6th will be due date, but I think they’ll go at least a week longer than that unless they really hurry up.

I’m gonna need to buy more stakes. Lol

Slowly putting on weight. Starting to see a few pistils changing color. Also starting to see leaf fade. About 20 days to go.

 

[Glookies1]

I’m a bit disappointed with the lack of bulk on these buds. Hope they go on a spurt soon.

 

[Morda Grown]

I understand how you feel. For me, I would be very happy with what I see. Are the Buds airy? If not, they should still offer a good yield imo.

No, the buds are rock hard, just seem small based on previous grows of this strain. They may plump up yet

It could be that this batch is just gonna go closer to 84 days than 70. If that’s the case, it’s got plenty of time to bulk up

 

[Glookies1]

Gave the ladies a bit of molasses with today’s watering. Added another 1/2 hour of uvb lighting.

They are showing signs of starting to ripen, pistils are browning, fan leaves are fading.

Slow but sure weight gain, but the buds aren’t going to be huge. That said, there are millions of them and the yield should be good weight wise.

I’d say August 6th or so (70) days will probably be harvest time. We’ll see

Looking great! Everything seems to be rolling along smooth. Great work!

Thanks. They’re in the home stretch. I’ll post pics soon. Trichs are all still clear

 

[Glookies1]

Here’s a few pics. Leaves are starting to look ratty, which is expected at this stage.

buds are swelling

 

[Glookies1]

Kinda pleased today. These girls are bulking up.

 

[Glookies1]

The top sugar leaves are suffering from a bit of light burn from the uvb.

 

[Glookies1]

Trichome check still shows virtually all clear. Strangely, there is an occasional amber trich, but no cloudy.

That said, I think it will finish in another week or so. Real close to 70 days.

Fan leaves are fading fast, buds aren’t super fat, but they’re rock hard all the way to the bottom of the colas.

I’ll project yield at 18 oz, which is pretty good for me under only one 660 watt fixture with a sativa.

 

[Glookies1]

I’m really happy with the lower buds. No popcorn. Here’s some pics down close to the screen.

 

[Glookies1]

The more I look at the lower buds, the more I think there may be 20oz here when it’s done.

These colas are all over 20 inches tall, and the buds are tightly spaced all the way to the bottom.

Thanks. I was worried for a bit, but in the last few weeks they’ve packed on weight pretty well.

The uvb lights do burn up the fan leaves, but they also increase the “sugar” production.

After all, that’s really what we’re growing. Lol

Day 63 since flip to flower. Spotted the first milky Trichs today. Leaves are in full fade too, the plant is done with the leaves.

I watered and gave molasses, could be their last watering. Lol. Maybe one more, but the wait is neatly over!

 

[Morda Grown]

I still have a way's to go. I have 4 in flower and one wanting to take the lead. You'll be smoking while I'm still waiting.

What was your source for seeds?
