Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. You're all very appreciated.
Welcome to my journal, Czecho.
I'm glad you didn't get too bored reading through all my blabbering. I feel like we're just getting to the fun part!
I was out of the house all day yesterday and didn't get to spend any time with my plants. By the time I got home the lights were out on the big girls, and I didn't even get to peep in on them. I was out of sorts about it all night. I had a dream that one of them was covered in powdery mildew!
So needless to say, visiting them was the first thing I did when I woke up this morning.
Here is Pascalle's top budsite today - 20 days since the flip / 12 days since flowering started.
First time I've seen some frost on the leaves.
When I get up close to Pascalle's buds, they smell like rotten fruit or a dirty diaper. It's a little gross. I've read that some buds stink while they're forming, but I didn't expect that. It doesn't smell moldy or mildewy or anything alarming, and it's not noticeable unless your nose is right on them. I hope that changes as they get older.
Loretta's buds don't have much of a strong odor yet... or least don't have an odor that differs much from the ambient scent of the flower room. I don't notice much when giving her a good sniff unless I give her a rub, too.
Bad news on the Zombie, the Undead Twig front. I pulled her up and tossed her into my sniff-a-mug. She had two roots, but they were small and limp. I need the room for the bubbler clones, and she wasn't pulling her weight, so she got the boot.
On that note, I will be planting at least one of the flowering clones today.
I think that's all for now.
I'll be doing my journal rounds all day.
