Starting to either foxtail or just bulking up. Hoping not foxtailing from stress of lights cause me gots no mo vertical clearance. C99 funky as all hell. Such a strong rotting fruit smell when open tent. Love it. the GDP i still can’t tell. Most times when rub smells of pickles. Looks stunning and i’m excited for both.

made notes to calibrate pH meter this round. used 7.0 solution. didnt test with 4.0 solution too. was reading 7.49, calibrated down. I’ve pretty much got used to how much to pH down my tap so let the swing happen for passed 4 or so waterings. But in doing so I’ve probably been hitting lower too often. Next water ill calibrate again and shoot for 6.5+ for couple waterings.

Again not sure if the C99 is foxtailing or just bulking up. The C99 is the furthest from the light but has started to shoot out some new growth that just seems foxtail like. Guess no biggie, C99 is a FUNKY specimen. Just not very pretty hahah

Thanks! Honestly I’m ready for it to be complete already hahah. I still have atmost 3weeks left but really like if it was only 1-2wks left. In the passed couple days the GDP is getting too heavy for her stems. Im lazy and don’t want to tie the leaning branches. Nature! Do yo thang already!

Hows it smell?

The C99 is the stank! Everytime I open the tent there’s a heavy rotting fruit smell. I can sniff the flower and it’s soooo funky. Rubbing the C99 is a completely different story, super SWEET candy!
GDP on the other hand has zero nose on the flower, rubbing the leaves I get a earthy dirt pickle smell. Also after rubbing the GDP it is heavy greasy feel.
I’m super stoked for both. GDP though I think the most as I wanna see how the dirt pickles taste! Haha

Interesting, same smell the whole time? Or was it one of those progressively changing smells? I expected more fruit. But seems like if your looking forward to it. Then it must be a very pungent earthy pickle smell!

C99 has been a funky fruit rot for quite awhile now. GDP I was expecting some fruity notes too, but just hasn’t happened ‘yet’. There’s maybe a chance my olfactory sense just can’t pickle it up from the GDP though haha. I’ll give it another rub tomorrow and see if anything has changed, haven’t tested it in a week.

Your garden is on point, and your picture quality is amazing too. My pictures always come out not so clear. WhT kinda camera you use?

1 Like

Thanks for the kind words!
My camera is just a S22 Ultra(Samsung note dealie) It has some issues with it wanting to auto-correct colors which kinda bugs me, like if Im outside the tent by 3ft I can get true colors, but once I breach the tent doors it yellows things out a bit. As far as clear pics, it’s hit/miss, like this latest update after reviewing I think most of them are blurry or not so crisp as the update before that. My lenses though may have some fingerprint smudges or such on them

Just found out my camera has a Focus Enhancer or some sort of feature that I never had enabled. Tried to get some tighter shots, couldn’t stay steady enough for most.
