Aha! I've been sampling some Bluniverse and I know where the bite comes from - it's the pineapple! Ms Universe has a lot of Pineapple in it, along with the Kali Mist. So it's a blueberry taste with a pineapple backbite.
The jar smells amazing!
I don't usually check trichs, but I got the loupe out and took a look at a lower bud. About 5% amber and maybe 10% milky. I knew I was taking it a little early, but I like a trippy buzz - don' like ambers.
So far, what stood out was a rubbery smell leftover on my fingers after the trim. I don't typically like that buzz but we'll see how it cures.
Everything's looking awesome, GT!
FYI, I had posted a video several years back of Jorge Cervantes scoping and commenting on that year's Cannabis Cup Winners. He commented on one that had mostly milky/clear trichomes that he had stopped judging readiness by trichome color because it's not an effective way to judge quality.
This is why I always recommend testing every couple of days when in the "harvest window" to see when she's at her peak according to your own personal preference.
What you find, is that different strains are best with different mixes of trich colors and a "20% amber" rule, for example, won't apply to all strains.
That being said, once you have a specific strain at it's peak, if you check the mix of trichome colors, it becomes a great way to judge when to harvest that strain/clones in the future.
She may turn out to be much better than you think!
It yielded 19 grams over 113 days, with 74 days of bloom.
Bubba looks sweet! I haven't let one go 10 weeks yet, I'm looking forward to what you think. The leaves do start to turn when she is done and I see it happening to yours. She looks damn fine at 10 weeks...….
I got the loupe out and there are virtually no cloudy, but 10% amber or more - kinda odd. It's been too warm in there for a couple weeks, so that might have something to do with it. Here she is before the wash.
very impressive,I'm envious.
Neiko...how hot around your area.
It was 90 F today and mid to high 80's the rest of the week.Wat he^ said.....same , same.
Just beautiful!Thanks guys! This is the first of the big girls and I'm pleased with the harvest. It looks like it could be 3 oz.
This is the biggest DC I've grown and she's nice and sticky, etc, all that. I'm very interested to see how she turns out as far as taste and potency - seems particularly Carnival leaning.
I'm looking forward to this one.
