She smoked really well. It was above average for sure THC wise. Not a 1 hit and quit deal. Everyone said itās the best I have grown. I feel very lucky I even have them. They were sitting for a few years. I donāt like growing a plant if I donāt know the genetics. I got about 100 seeds. I would like to see someone use them before the go bad. Iām sure out of 10 seeds Iām sure you can get a few going. I grew that one in DWC but my cousin grew one in soil and the buds where still tight AF. Heās new to growing so. Good genetics for sure.
I just found out about silica. Gives you robust stalks. Plants taking silica at a higher PH then what hydro is ran. But @ShiskaberrySavior told me that if you mixed the silica before the rest of your nutes it can be used in hydro.

So how does it work in soil?

Soil is 6 to 7. Hydro is 5.5 to 6.5. The reason you use it stays the same. Iām not 100% about the science.
Here is a link of the Forest Candy grow.

Just made a fresh batch of sugar and yeast.
I can tell the trichomes are beginning to darken up just by looking at them. There not a sparkly. So she might be right on schedule.
I do like growing mushrooms tho. I will soon once my $ situation improves. They are fun to grow.

These are all my Forest Candy seeds. I have plenty to go around.
Hey @Chronickyle where did you get those washers from the seeds you sent? Those are the best out of all the ones Iāve received. Iām going to see if my brother will get me them and the flips.

One popped really well.
Iām still going to keep the rest to see what happens. I have the rest of you guyās seeds drying still.

Hey Mike,
Am I mistaken or is steady high temperature OKāish, but wildly fluctuating temps are when problems are more likely to occur?

@Hoppy I think there is some purple on the buds starting. Itās like a purplish brown kinda.
What do you think?
It is a little difficult to see what I mean. Itās mostly on the Calyx

I had a couple of Gelato plants foxtail last grow. I took pics, posted, and sure enough everyone that weighed in confirmed it.
Looked just like this.

Yeah. Sheās got 10 days to give me everything sheās got.
Dose anyone know if flushing helps along the maturity of the trichomes.
I was thinking about throwing a tray of ice in her bucket to trick her into thinking she better hurry up. Dose this work?

I read that raising the temperature for a few days and then lowering it back makes them generate more trichomes for protection.
Thatās just reading. That is only as correct as the person that wrote it though. I have limited experience.
Personally I think itās more about genetics, and if you have supplied all itās needs (looks like you have), it should max out the trichrome output.
That is just a theory.

It sure looks that way. A lot of trichome production. But Iām wondering if itās producing more dose that mean itās going to take more time for the trichomes to mature?

Even the plants that I let go way into amber still had some clear trichomes developed all the way to chop.
In the middle of all that amber still there would be a shiny trichrome.
Those foxtails are all going to have new, clear trichomes. At least mine did.

with the outcome of the foxtails, I have one plant that the bud is entirely foxtails they are fine, but the plants that donāt form them - if they do form a couple those are shitty and green, I leave em behind on the drying line and toss them in the tincture sack. Lemme get a couple photos gimme a sec.
Them big buds ONLY grow what I call āfingersā or foxtails.
Thenā¦ thereās the mutoid meat breath bud thatās close to the light. Too close. Foxtails are always garbage here.
