January 16th Update
A casual smoke report of you, since I've recommenced my medicating practices. Cheese is utterly delightful, a strong aroma as soon as it gets grinded between your fingers. Crystals galore and a great kief hash. A major stone and a great sleep aid.
Bubblegum is much more hyper mode weed. Super sweet aroma upon breaking it up, and even more Crystals.. My grinder is loving these strains,
And I finally got to try the Pineapple Chunk. An outrageously Stinky aroma, not like the cheese but like a skunks ass.
also hard hitting and yet surprisingly smooth on the inhale. The white tops of the buds are a little weird to smoke but taste just like the rest. I saved the tops of a few and smoked a "white" joint... Weird
So let's see what next up for the cure jars. These widows are nearing their harvest window, And the photos are just getting started. so strap yourselves in cuz here goes nothing...

The Widows
Day 105
Emerald
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Amethyst
Notes ~
The gang of widows has lost their luster, but have added some sparkles. There's 3 who are about the same in time remaining. Emerald, Ruby and Amethyst are are about 20 days away. Sapphire and topaz are looking more like a week an a bit... maybe 15 days. Trichome check on the the two is still amber free, Topaz is starting to get hard and a bit purple with the cold nights. I pulled off a ton of nitrogen def. leaves, two fist fulls by the time I got through the gang of plants. It's that time of the season, at least I don't need a rake... Feedings are as per my
"expert"
discretion as to what and when they need. This auto grow has been a good lesson in not neglecting them when they need to the most. I had no time to figure out their early problems, and I'd just say one more day and we'll see. Lesson learned and we still have some pretty nice buds, so all is good

Marge
Atomic Bomb
Day 80 +42
Notes ~
Not much to update on Marge, she's just continuing her bud production. Two feedings since the last update, including one today. Both were 3/4 dose of the bloom lineup for AN, with some added calmag and a bit of liquid kelp meal.
Haze-L
Liberty Haze
Day 54 +21
Notes ~
Haze-L is rising up perfectly in unison. Buds have formed at the top of each prospective cola. She's still working on her last feeding and is due for her next one any day now. Stakes are holding in place, I haven't had to tie anything down yet. No issues regarding deficiency or toxicity yet,
, she been extremely healthy throughout.
Leia
Skywalker Kush
Day 52 +21
Notes ~
Leia's cola formation looks like a circle of kids ringing around the Rosie. They're all the same height and I expect they will continue on the same pace together. I'm still hoping for some of the secondary that had just started accelerating in growth, to catch up aswell. Her feeding is due in about two days. Pistils have set in, and buds are forming. No specific issues to report, another healthy flowering lady.
Rey
Skywalker Kush
Day 49 +14
Notes ~
As flower gets to the 2 week mark I am not thrilled about her progress. Her secondary growth is still minuscule and only a few have made it to canopy level. Other than the four mains this plant is basically lifeless. I gave her a full feeding this morning, let's hope she turns the corner soon. Other than that she fairly healthy with only a few older leaves withering under her frame.
Do come again, Ole Margy is just itching to unwind...
KiG Everyone
