This is 11:30 pm last night inside the hillbilly greenhouse! we've had frosts the last few nights, but i've been bringing the girls in for sleepovers. last night it got down to -0.8 C, previously -2.2 C, and a few other nights below 0. so there's some extra work to keep the ladies going until they reach their potential...
during the day, it is downright perfect for the final push. 17 C early afternoon, 46% RH.
Family Picture!!! having a sleepover in the basement
i ordered and received the 30X magnification loop and was trying it out last night...here's a close-up of Bertha's private parts. things are looking cloudy in there, no amber as of yet, but still pushing out some white hairs...she's pulling for the full moon and so am i
this is her this afternoon and you can see all the spots she's going to fill in with extra juice as she finishes. i'm hoping she'll fill right up and become dense, beautiful Jack. the purpling colour in her has just happened over the last 3 days. i'll try to take a pick of the same bud after the full moon for comparison. she smells like a mix of citrus, spicy pine, just phresh...
and then there is Alice the hash plant. she seems to be going through the teenager phase and recently went for the deep purple look. it's quite appealing...
she's humming along pushing out more landing strips, looking for a y chromosome, but sadly she'll live the remainder of her life pure and free from any evil fertilizing agent. she looks good under the loop as well...not as frosty as Bertha and her trichomes are almost 50% clear and some even are clear with a purple tinge. i'll try to keep a steady hand and capture that tomorrow. i've got the phone on zoom, and through the 30X loop. it's hard to stay still to get a good picture. she's really starting to fill out those spots with all those hairs. interesting difference between the sativa and indica in terms of their development.
Sindy and Athena are at least a couple weeks behind compared Bertha and Alice. i'm watching another thread on making hash and i'd really like Sindy and Athena to go the distance, even if i have to keep them going all through October in and out during the day/night. if they don't fill out and finish i might try a recipe to make some hashish (for personal and friendly special occasions) with a predetermined amount of herb...we'll see how things play out.
Athena (Jack Herer) Sindy (Jack Herer)
I'd say Athena is looking more Haze like than any of them so far, but i'm just an old guy who likes to think he knows what he's talking about. i'm just going with the flow for now. it's close. full moon is 9 days out and i'm really hoping to make it there and see the difference in all of them, especially Bertha and Alice. thanks for stopping by everyone.
That was a special grow i'll never forget.
Looking healthy and happy. I like the trimming / cleaning up you did on the lower growth - it'll work well sending all it's growth energy up top.
Bertha is a beast. Some big stems on these girls!
