Grabbed some new pics from the tent. These are kinda interesting. A few days ago, I gave many of the buds the "Backfill Haircut". I tried to grab a couple of shots of the difference (in just a few days) between ones that were given the treatment and one that hasn't.
You'll notice that the ones that were trimmed are more squat, round and more "full" looking. Those that weren't have the typical "Christmas Tree" appearance.
As for my previous post about this advanced maturation I'm noticing, I see it even more today. The pistils are all retracted and are about 30% orange now. I'm still not completely sure why this is happening, but I keep coming back to heavy use of Hydroplex. Unfortunately, I'll never know for sure.
One thing I am going to do is bring some samples down to my local MMJ lab and see what the results are. In addition to the whole potency testing they claim that they can also determine if the plant was taken wile still immature (not sure how yet - need to speak with them about it). While I know what I see and am experiencing, there is a little voice in the back of my head telling me that I may be being faked out somehow. Hopefully this testing will give a clue. Added bonus is that I will get an idea of how my medicine compares to other tests of the same strain!
