Plants have been flowering between 7-8 weeks, and are starting to really bulk up. Finding little bits of boytris not caused by caterpillar poop here and there. Pretty much the time of the season where I have to make a calculated decision of when to harvest, do I want more bud, or less bud that has had more time to finish. I think this season I am leaning more towards higher quality and am going to be OK with larger losses, as I’ve got a pretty good headstash at this point. @ElGalloBlanco I think you are really onto something with the silica. Since I’ve been adding a little bit to their water once a week, the amount of PM I’ve been seeing has almost dropped to none. And the conditions are ripe for it with all the rain and humidity we have had, so I think that’s going to be standard operating procedure for me moving forward. I guess now my bud doesn’t qualify as organic, but it doesn’t make that much sense to me that something can be used as a foliar spray and it is organic, but not in a direct watering? I had just assumed it qualified as Buildasoil sold it, but I guess it’s only for foliar.
Group:
Goji OG F2 Stretchy Pheno- I think this will be my last plant to finish. She still has a long ways to go. She stretched for like a month, and even though she seemed to start stretching first, she has been the slowest in bud formation. She is starting to throw down some frost. I’m thinking that she most resembles a true OG style pheno with her tight little nugs.
Goji OG F2 Nice Structure/Flopper Pheno - This one has some chonky buds, and she not slowing down! I’m calling her 8 weeks flowering, and I’m betting she’ll go 11 easy unless we just get too much mold forming. Probably the least frosty of the three phenos, but that doesn’t really mean anything.
Goji OG F2 Purple Stem PHeno - This one is really getting thick too and has some nice purples showing in her.
Sun Ra - The slowest plant to start flowering, but she’s getting into it. As I posted in the Bodhi thread yesterday, she has the strangest mix of smells, where every time I try and figure out what she smells like I have a different scent. Starting to get some nice frost, and she has just been the easiest plant to grow. So far pretty sturdy in her stems too. Whereas I can tell my indoor pheno I have is definitely going to need some staking.
Sherbert x Wedding Cake - The stickiest plant in the garden, with also the thickest and tightest nugs. I feel like she isn’t very photogenic, but in person she really stands out to me. I don’t know if it’s luck or not, but caterpillars have been the least interested in her, and she has had no PM, so maybe she is resistant? Has a real vanilla smell coming off her which I haven’t gotten in bud before. I’m very optimistic about this plant. She did lose two colas last week to what I’m assuming was animal damage. Came out one morning to snapped branches. Tried to tape them up but it was a no go. Gave them a quick wash and put them in the hash bag in the freezer
BB Muffin x Vintage BB F2 - My favorite plant, but more due to sentimental reasons as I reproduced her. It’s been really rewarding to purchase a pack of seeds looking for something, f2 them, and then find exactly what I was hoping for. I think she’ll be harvested first in two weeks. Reeks of berries and is covered in frost. Can’t wait to taste her!
