Ha. Nope. He’s moving unfettered. I left him. He’s the smartest of the millions of them around. You know how good this guy eats overnight with the light on and the door up? It’s a non stop smorgasbord for him! I am gonna try and grab a few and put them in the 5x5 with the other autos when it’s time too, they beat the crap out of a pest strip.Is he stuck on there like your version of a Christmas tree angel?

OMG you actually had the temerity to mention the name of the Unspoken Succubus in this thread. The Devil goes by many names but that’s one of them. I will be recovering for an hour or two from the mere mention of the name of the beast. I began my growing “career” with six bag seeds from said Horrid One. How would you even know about that particular devil anyway? Lmao

Fulvia Update
A few things about Fulvia in particular now that she’s all separated and jarred and almost stabilized. I’ll give an actual yield report in a few days when I’m sure she’s stable.
1. Lesson learned on dehumidifier placement. This thing puts out more heat than it feels like to your hand. While it diffuses it very effectively, it still creates a bubble of too hot all around the head. As such, any buds that were within that bubble of heat were negatively impacted. That accounts for several Fulvia branches in full - like three or four. When I show you you’ll understand the level of loss. I put it at 25% easy. The maddening thing is that they LOOK just like the good buds, but when you squeeze them they flatten to nothing. All air. Lmao!
2. There’s a decent amount of actual flarfy buds on Fulvia which didn’t exist on Elora. Fulvia’s buds went down lower, and about the entire bottom quarter of each branch is a bit flarfy. Too flarfy to jar: only dense buds make the jars. Again, when I show you you’ll understand better.
3. That said, we will still be in the 11-12 ounce range of jarred buds with her and had I done her right she was a pound or more EASY. This strain is a fabulous yielder and the bud is excellent. I hope it’s in the Ethos catalog soon.
4. I have her divided into
a. Jarred buds that are sweet and trimmed and done
b. A big bowl of legit buds that are just too small to trim but I smoke, ie, they count in the weight
c. A big box of buds that are flarf to go into the trim bin when the cover leaf load is done.
d. Another big box of 50/50 buds that are either gonna dry into flarf or buds for the too small but legit bowl.
As I said, we’ll look at all this in a couple days. But I got this part out of the way. Lol!

Strawberry Banana
Day 44
Cleaned up a minor Mg deficiency cuz I forgot what a Mg hog this strain is. Easy fix. She’s got the start of color and a good amount of frost already. I love this strain.
Edit: at this point her diet is the same every feeding: cal mag (the lite stuff), Terpinator, molasses, Fox Farms Bembe, and Microbe Brew every fourth watering. She recently got a GeoFlora bloom nutes hit.

A stabilized Fulvia bud.

And a more exotic looking Fulvia bud. This is how most of the colas are. Dense and colorful and weirdly shaped. Stinky but more dank than Elora and not as fruit forward. Slightly sleepy-ish buzz first test. Just now stablizing though so we’ll see.
What do you mean "stabilized"?
- Thread starter
- #2,334
When the buds no longer have to be closely watched and the jars no longer burped extensively. I don’t use numerical based technology, I cure all by feel and smoke and testing without the little indicators for the jars. So to me, stabilized is when they’re actually done and curing in earnest. When you can grab any random bud from the jar and smoke it whole and it will burn properly. It’s the same point people who do use technology talk about when they say their buds are finally reading 62% (usual target). Is that a good enough explanation @Carmen Ray ?
It comes down to when they’re not going to lose any more weight.

Not a Smoke Report
So just a not so quick word on the Fruity Pebble Cookies. Obviously it’s way too early for a smoke report. However it’s not too early for a fledgling comparison report.
This is all I can say so far….
The indica pheno, Fulvia, is really good. She could be denser, but her density is more than okay. She could smell a little more but that will come in the cure. She gets you plenty high, that’s for sure. And early reviews say she tastes great. For sure she has an indica-esque, body/sleepyish buzz. More dank smelling and tasting than Elora, but a bit less on the odor intensity and far less fruity. But she’s top notch bud.
That said, Elora, the sativa pheno, dusts Fulvia so badly that I don’t even want to smoke Fulvia. I’m talking absolutely destroys her on every level. Really, the sativa turned out so much better it almost makes the indica pheno look undesirable next to it. No joke. And if all you saw was the indica you’d be super pleased.
Elora is the supreme prize of this grow.
She is beyond dense. Stinks to the holy heavens like sweet fruit. I’m talking extremely fruity. Way more so than anything I’ve grown. Humboldt Seed Company’s Jelly Rancher (now called Hella Jelly) is the only plant I’ve grown that even approaches Elora in smell intensity, and maybe their Apple Blossom. It’s super, knock you over when you open the jar, intense. She tastes like a dream already. And she is surprisingly smooth already too. Drenched in trichomes. She’s so trichome-y that much of her looks almost silvery. She literally sparkles in the light, way way frostier than Fulvia. Her kief almost redefines the kief buzz. Want zero pain? Smoke Elora with a kief topper. Whoa.
I’m really not trying to toot my own horn, I didn’t make this, Ethos did. My light did. @Prescription Blend did. But if you should happen to get your hands on seeds and grow this, hope for the sativa pheno!
I will do a detailed and real smoke report on the FPC in three or four weeks when she’s really humming. I can’t imagine how good it’s going to be.
ELORA RULES.

You really are the trim king! Those nugs are beaut.

Lol! It makes me laugh when people say stuff like that, and thanks @Carmen Ray. Trust me when I tell you that I am not anywhere near the Trim King. Many many people here dust me. That’s just the truth of the matter. Just look at some of the trim jobs you see in the NOTM and POTM contests. It’s incredible how much talent there is here. That said, I am very fast and probably good enough to get a job trimming for someone if I needed it. Lol.

Fulvia
Friday Bud Porn
This is one of my favorite Fulvia buds. I liked it so much I took a chance on letting it dry as it was versus breaking it down to smaller buds, hoping it wouldn’t bud rot on me. It didn’t!!! Now it’s dry and stable and I present her here for your viewing pleasure. The bud is so thick with hairs that you can barely see it’s covered in trichomes. All three pictures are the same bud. Just different lighting on the first two as a cloud came over. Enjoy, you junkies. Here’s the fun part: I accidentally posted this in the auto grow journal. Lol. I put in an edit and left it just for fun.

A Little Bud Comparison
Literally a little bud comparison, lol.
Left to Right = Watermelon WeddingCake, Fruity Pebble Cookies (sativa pheno), Fruity Pebble Cookies (indica pheno).
