Day 51 of 12/12:
It’s late fall in the tent, which is to say it’s cold and everything is turning pretty colors. With the recent cold snap around these parts, my night temps have dipped down to 50ºf… not so good for overall plant metabolism, probably has an impact on yield, but at this point I’ve got enough – I just want these puppies to ripen. They’re drinking less, so the ripening will begin soon…
Blueberry No. 2 (Roots Organic, 3 gal):
Not a huge change over the past ten days, other than color. Yield should be okay, trimming will be hell. Has a tart/sweet smell which is quite pleasant. The overall structure still shocks me… branches grow straight up, almost no secondary branches. When I chop this down, I think it’ll be a total of 12 branches to dry.
Apollo 11 No. 2 (SBPGM soil, 3 gal):
The two Apollo 11s are chugging along… still putting on a bit of weight, but mostly in foxtailing rather than chunking up. Long, skinny buds on an absurdly branchy plant – the opposite of Blueberry. The pics above are from the 3-gallon girl… the 5-gallon plant is hard to photograph as very little of it is upright at this point
ChemD x Sunshine Daydream (SBPGM soil, 8 gal):
Chunky, dense, sticky, delicious. I
think this is the one giving off the skunky smell (A11 seems more spicy, Blueberry more… blueberry), but after staking her up yesterday, I couldn’t figure out the smell at all
Sweet, but not really fruity… maybe a floral honey bubblegum? No amber yet, but think she’ll be done before 9 weeks.
The great big floppy mess of a group:
