Week 9 showed clear progression into the final ripening stage.
Bud size didn’t change much visually, but trichome development advanced noticeably. 🌸
Most trichomes turned milky, giving the plants a slightly white, frosty appearance.
Light intensity remained stable at ~1100 PPFD.
Environment stayed consistent at ~26°C and ~50–52% RH.
Both plants were watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag, based on pot weight. 💧
During this week, Apricot #2 developed rust-colored / yellow spots on smaller leaves near the buds, which led to a precautionary flush. Both plants were flushed once thoroughly with water + CalMag at around pH 6.5 to reset the medium. After flushing, the issue did not worsen.
Phenotype observations:
Apricot #1 continues to look healthy and stable, with a compact structure and consistent bud development.
Apricot #2 shows the earlier leaf spotting but remains stable overall. Buds continue to swell and maintain good density.
Aroma intensified further this week.
The Apricots are now producing a strong sweet, fruity, tropical smell, becoming very noticeable in the tent. 🙂
The Amnesia Skittlez in the same environment appears slightly behind in development, with smaller buds and less pronounced trichome production at this stage.😊
