I researched the strain a bit before the grow and didn't come across that info, but some Barney's Farm stats on the strain have bloom time at 7-8 weeks and others at 8-9 weeks, so there's still some time to go.
These relatively low-wattage LED lights may also take longer than HID's to finish plants, so there is that also.
I don't regret the decision to chop them by trich color as opposed to a fixed calendar date.
Could you ask your friend how he came about the late bloomer info?
thanks bro
Oh man, I wish I could share the aroma with everyone. The carbon filters just aren't keeping up. Nothing you can smell from outside the house, but walking into the garage it's pretty obvious something's up.
Opening the tents releases a strong earthy funk, and moving the plants around takes it to another level altogether.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about smell issues much, because this strain stinks a lot more than what I'm used to.
Also fortunately, as a good friend told me in PM, "I like it stinky" lol.
I finally dug up some info on the Malana genes in VK. Malana is an Indian landrace strain, sativa dominant, and used to make high-quality charas or hash.
I previously thought that the Malana genes were indica also, like the Kush side, but now I can account for the 38" lady in the HSS group.
good question, I assumed flavor in tomatoes equated to flavor in MJ, but that may be an incorrect assumption
