Oh Cannabelle.... Droll!!!! That first picture you posted made me gasp, it's so beautiful. Does it smell like cotton candy? The name alone attracts me. Well done girl.

These are supposed to stink to high heaven when they go into flower, except with the triad of cannibis+Glomus mycorrhizal fungi+allium system I developed. The trichomes will still stink (like diesel mixed with acetone) if you get them on your fingers while trimming spent leaves. Otherwise, the smell is barely perceptible and is grown with no carbon filtration in an open top grow frame in my bedroom. I'm going to have to find some Tennessee Hog's Breath to see if the triad system can kill the worst stink ever.
It takes excactly 2 months of curing before the terpenes lose their diesel/acetone smell and become sweet smelling and tasting like cotton candy. This strain contains about 18%-20% THC + 2% CBD. The combination of THC, CBD and terpenes give a giddy, uplifting, happiness, like being a 5 year old having the time of your life at a carnival gleefully spent on cotton candy and carni rides. I can't take too much excitement like this, so I gift these to close friends who have anxiety and pain issues.
Thanks for that rundown Cannabelle, particularly the recommendation to let it cure that 2 months. I managed to keep enough of my initial harvest through three month's cure and was fascinated by the changes that occurred from month two to month three.
Do you believe the allium is what's making the big difference? I have the cannibis+Glomus mycorrhizal fungi part down, and reading this made a lightbulb go off over my head as an explaination of why the plants growing in that pot don't have much smell until you touch them.
Edit: That description of the buzz fits my desires perfectly. Definitely putting it on my list of must-grows. I start at least 6-8 plants every month, so that could easily be slotted in sooner than later. Mmmmm. Cotton Candy. Yeah.

I haven't weighed a harvest in a long time but considering that my recently grown Colombian Gold was the largest I have yet grown as an indoor organic plant, I decided to grab a weight. 18.6oz plus I have trim and popcorns in the freezer. For reference, there is at least a qp gone already! 
Hope everybody doesn't get tired of looking at these clone repeats, but here's a Grand Daddy Purple just before chop:

I'm still trying to figure out this wonderful phenomena myself, SweetSue.
I grew alliums with Glomus mycorrhizzal fungi way before working with cannabis. These alliums are more commonly known as green onions or welsh bunching onions. I'm Polynesian and Asian so the onions are a staple in most of my home cooked native dishes. Allium fistulosum thrives with Glomus myc and have been grown this way in indigenous soils for hundreds of years. The commercial bunching onion industry in Asia tried to grow native onions unsuccessfully in soil mixes that lacked native rhizosphere beneficials until someone discovered the importance of Glomus fungi about a century ago.
Alliums like garlic have been used for hundreds of years with another distant cousin in the Rosales order of which roses and cannabis belong. Garlic is traditionally grown along side roses to enhance the scent of roses grown to make perfume.
Both Allium fistulosum and cannabis share the same ancient partnership with Glomus mycorrhizzal fungi from their indigenous origins in Asia.
I accidentally rediscovered this ancient partnership when I was about to give-up growing cannabis for medicine a handful of years ago. The opioids and chemo meds were harder on me than my auto-immune disorder. I was too sick and poor to afford decent grow gear to make medicine to sustain me. I got mad at the failing cannabis grow and stuck my alliums into the cannabis pots because I didn't want to waste good mycorrhizzal fungi. The soil was likely too hot because all I could afford back then was Miraclegrow. A miracle occurred. A week later, not only did the alliums thrive, but so did my first indoor cannabis. The addition of the alliums unlocked an allelopathic synergy that boosted growth in my stunted cannabis and helped the Glomus regulate mineral intake and water/drought stress cycle. The alliums must also be doing for cannabis what alliums have been doing with perfume roses for hundreds of years: making flowers more beautiful.
I am baffled and amazed with these most ancient and beautiful partnerships. I continue to investigate and rediscover these beautiful connections which were lost when cannabis was outlawed and purged from much of the Asian continent.

Now for some bad news. I used my first seed sprout tea on four of my flowering girls not long ago. During my short absence here I had some extended time with the fam so my attention was not 100%. This is where everything went wrong, I underestimated how soon they would need water after the sst and also because with me not being able to regulate things, my temps were in the 90's consistently. So ya, I dried two out partially, I quickly watered then fired up the compost brewer with some ewc and molasses. The next day that was what they got and I continued the remainder of fam time thinking I was set. Back to check on them and there is widespread yellowing and weak stems on three girls. My first look at the rootzone frightened me, I have no idea what they are as I haven't researched them yet (have pics and vid), but all over the top of the soil and the pot was all these small round white things, I poked it with my finger and then looked at it closely and it was moving, oh gosh but I guess thankfully they are root related and not all over my plants. The last two/three days have been a chore for me cleaning off the mulch layers and officially kicking off my full organic IPM. Can you believe I just got this stuff days before and was ready to really start pushing the organics, just bad timing I guess. 
Sorry for the story but this is pretty much where I post stuff so.. ya! No idea how or where, only thought was because I was in a hurry to make the compost tea, I used what I have left of store bought castings(bottom of bag), I recently acuired a new bag of cocoa bean mulch, brought it in with me or just a fluke. This was all very recent and I just finished my first IPM of neem and karanja oil. Sadly this is where my Pineapple Skunk stands at the moment, not all is lost, I plucked some wilted leaves and will start trying to recover her. She's tight against the wall for support and I still need to replace the top soil I dug out yet, likely today. Pic was yesterday and marks day 25 flower. Dang! $hit happens I guess. A plus side is this is the first time I have ever had to do this, so it's knowledge gained.

thank you for this awesomeness.
What An intriguing fact.
It was you that sold me on the Glomus (I actually tossed the innoculant I originally purchased after reading your posts about it) and reading this, I'm going to plant some bunching onion in my big pots ASAP. My tiny pots may be too tiny for alliums. They hold less than a half gallon of soil each.
You're a wonder Cannabelle.

Anyone who wants to own up to being bored with your pictures go stand in that corner for time out.

So sorry to hear about the infestation Smokey. Your attitude speaks volumes about the man.

Thanks Sue! There's nothing I can do but pick up and move on so no need to let it ruin my day. I am a bit disappointed though as I was planning on entering her in the plant of the month contest. I thought how cool would it be to enter a big organic plant that I had won here from the site from a reputable sponsor. I try to be optimistic and hope she pulls through, she dropped a decent amount of fans yesterday again (nervous for today), I'm trying to baby her but they seem to have did a number on the top root layer and we all now how crucial that top zone can be. Hugs back!

Well, I don't know guys and gals, to me it appears the trichomes are still forming and new pistils are popping, her posture almost seems to be better to me. Ya think!? The good news is I don't even have a single gnat now.
Who doesn't like jars pics. I'm seriously going to be dipping into these as I need to make an oil stash as well. I'm going to make a cold extract today with pharmaceutical grade ethyl alcohol for my last wickless pen cartridge, I hope it turns out. Pics to follow if it does.

It's ok to grow allium f. in small pots. Allium f. will not compete with cannabis roots. Allium f. will just wither away should the cannabis require more nutrition or water. Allium f. also acts like a cheap organic meter to monitor if you are not watering enough or not supplying enough N or too much potassium. So if you are like me and keep throwing your EC and PH monitors out of whack (I have several that go haywire because I emit way too much electrical activity), allium f. is a suitable alternative. You just need to watch the color pattern and feel of the allium f. leaves. Allium f. begins to wind down during late cannabis flowering when the cannabis has a higher demand for potassium.

Getting ready to harvest this season's micro sea of jeans Blue Blood.
1 gallon recycled jeans pot with alliums. Starting some hemp seed sprouts to cook a stir fry those alliums.
I'm not sure which I'm drooling over more. The up coming udon stir fry or cured buds in 2-3 months.
Notice the alliums have lost their dark blue green sheen as both cannabis and alliums have been on water only for 9 days. The texture of the allium leaves feel more like my skin and less like polished leather. The lower membrane allium sleeves have gone from a soft and supple texture to parchment paper. There are ancient Chinese paper recipes that make use of this type of onion skin for beautiful, translucent hanzi letter writing sheets.
Stuck my hand in the picture to show the size of some of the colas grown in such a small pot.

Good time to harvest for more potent THC content.

How much soil volume do you feel you're working in? Are you using one particular training technique? I'll be using felt pots that hold less than a 1/2 gallon by my estimate and I keep thinking "treat them like bonsai". This specimen is beautiful Cannabelle, and the information on the allium companion planting is invaluable. Thank you. From all of us paying attention.
