Nug of the month contender!
Wow Beez Nice bud, Covered with thick trichomesI plan on harvesting this Terple plant in 4 more days taking it to 70 days. I can't put my finger on what it smells like. I struggle with that actually. It looks like it could be good stuff.
This is my Grandpa Punch which is hanging in my closet drying. I chopped her two days ago. This pheno retained a bit more of the sweet aroma of the Purple Punch parent but the fuel of the Grandpa Glue is still quite strong.
I was listening to a podcast with a mulch expert and they were talking about the make up of different mulches and how effective they are. She said to stay away from bark.
Your plants are completely out of control these days Beez.
After smelling 2 stroke outboard motor smoke all day yesterday working on an old engine I couldn't smell anything last night. This morning I gave a bottom Terple bud a rub to see what I could smell. She is old school cookies (blueberry sweet undertones) with a hint of citrus BUT the earthy cedar, turpentine, and pine are what I am smelling the most after the oils set on my fingertips.
As someone who has been using pine bark mulch for years, and recommending others to do the same, I am very curious why she said to stay away. Can you give me the 5c synopsis please?
It’s in the talk that Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott did with future cannabis project. I can’t remember exactly where though cause it’s two hours long. I’ll have to go back through it
If one of the jobs of mulch is to slow down evaporation from the upper soil, bark does that. But it doesn't need to retain moisture to do it.
But it does it in a much more biology friendly way if it does retain moisture. Organic mulches are being composted at the soil’s surface, too much hydrophobic materials at that interface is not a good thing. Perhaps you won’t run into issues, but you’re not driving your system as well as you could be by using just arborous wood chips.
