Update:
Stage - Flower Day 50 - 101 days above ground
#1 Bloom Day 33
#2 Bloom Day 38
Days until Harvest - 7 to 10
The ladies just finished up week 7 and are looking great. It's getting tougher to keep runoff ppm down and I find myself doing at least a partial flush daily. I'm not too worried about reducing the nutrients at this stage since the plants can start pulling from the remaining fan leaves during the final week as it would do naturally towards the last stages of it's life.
The combination of the genetics from
@Weed Seeds Express GSC seeds with the
@Prescription Blend nutrients and Demon LED light from
@Elevated Lighting Company turned out to be a perfect combination for this coco grow. All are highly recommended.
A quick check on the trichomes showed very little change since Wednesday. #1 is just now showing pistil color change. It's still a week or maybe a little longer until harvest. I'm getting more confident that the two will be at the right stage of ripeness for my purposes even though they will be harvested while at different stages. I will be using the tent or maybe the lung room for drying so both will be harvested together.
#1 appears to me as a more sativa dominant and is quite obviously different in appearance than #2. The aroma for #1 is a gentle sweetness with slight floral or fruit smells while #2 has a more fuel sweet smell. Best I can describe as it's sweet but with a kick. If my harvest plan works I should have a energetic sativa high from #1 and a more couch locking high from #2. Since I medicate for pain and sleep, getting a couch locking high from #2 works great for me.
After reading a horror post about bud rot from one of the other comparison growers, I decided to do a thorough check on all the buds. After coating myself up to my elbows in heavenly stickiness I didn't find any evidence of rot. While the buds continue to swell and the aroma is increasing, I have to remember to close the door before I open the tent. I thought I could smell it in my bedroom last night but then remembered I was covered in resin from the rot inspection earlier. Still as I write this from another room I can faintly smell some of the aroma from when I watered this morning.
