IItās been a little over a week now, and the buds have slowed down their fattening phase. There is still some growth, but I think ripening has begun. After examining the buds and trichomes thoroughly, Iām seeing mostly cloudy heads, so harvest canāt be far away.
When I open the tent, my whole room smells sweet and citrusy.
All the plants look perfectly healthy, with only slight signs of light stressāeven after reducing the PPFD from 1000ā1100 during peak flowering down to around 800 for the last 2ā3 weeks. It might just be because the plants are now fully in āfall mode.ā
Right after harvesting, Iām going to take some macro shots of the nicest top buds.
Kings Kush:
The terpene profile has stayed consistent compared to last week, but Iām picking up stronger grape or berry aromas now. The buds are huge.
Blue Dream:
Pure gas with a hint of sweetness. About 80% of the pistils are now a nice orange, but the trichomes are only around 50% milky. It might take a week or two longer than the other plants.
Mimozz:
Sharp calyxes, frosty leaves, and crazy fruity aromas. Iād say this strain is the closest to harvest and lives up to the predicted flowering time of 7ā8 weeks. I really wish I had taken a cutting to preserve this beautiful phenotype.
Coco Fresh:
The buds are still getting bigger, and even the lowest ones are turning purple and fat. Itās by far the prettiest plant of them all. The flowers smell super pleasant, with a mix of gassy cream and ripe fruit.
I canāt wait to harvest them!š½š
