The plants are beginning to show terpene development, with that "sweet" aroma continuing to emanate. One phenotype is already displaying notes of mango and "artificial" orange juice, something sharp. Another phenotype remains true to toothpaste, while others are more refined—mint, lavender, spearmint. There's one that is showing hints of dark chocolate, incense, and an herbal background. This testing will be one of the most interesting ones.
Regarding flower development, the pistils remain upright and white, with no signs of self-fertilization, which allows me to continue fertilizing with homemade PK.
I've been using native bacteria, fungi, and yeasts to pre-digest my banana teas, enabling accelerated absorption despite being 100% organic. This is an important step at this stage—we don’t want to waste anything, as these are among the last fertilized waterings we'll do. After this week, I will stop feeding the more indica-dominant phenotypes to begin their living flush (flushing the substrate using bacteria, aloe water, and then just water, avoiding runoff).
The more sativa-dominant phenotypes will get a bit more time. Even though it's not clearly visible in the photos, they are "re-flowering," meaning they are undergoing a second push of floral growth toward the apex. This is a tremendous sign of good nutrient management and optimal genetic response.
I’ve ordered an experimental cross from my geneticist for the next round—I’ll keep you posted. Good smokes.
