Chicken & Wafflez Harvest Report 🍗✂️✅ Blütewoche 12 – Erntezeit An Blütetag 84 war die Chicken & Wafflez soweit. Schon mit bloßem Auge war zu erkennen, dass sie ihren Reifehöhepunkt erreicht hatte. Die Trichome wirkten tagelang immer weißer und frostiger. Kurz vor der Ernte verlor dieses strahlende Weiß dann langsam seinen Glanz und bekam einen leicht cremefarbenen, gelblichen Ton. Zusammen mit den zunehmend ausreifenden Blättern war das für mich das eindeutige Zeichen: Jetzt ist sie fertig. Schon beim Ernten wurde klar: Hier wachsen keine riesigen XXL-Keulen. Die Stärke der Chicken & Wafflez liegt nicht in der Größe einzelner Buds, sondern in ihrer gleichmäßigen Struktur und ihrem außergewöhnlichen Erscheinungsbild. Optisch ist die Chicken & Wafflez ein echtes Highlight. Die Colas erinnern an kleine Kirchtürme, die über Nacht komplett mit Raureif überzogen wurden – das tiefe Violett, fast schon Schwarz, bildet einen unglaublichen Kontrast zu der dicken Schicht glitzernder Trichome. Mindestens genauso beeindruckend war ihr Wuchs. Trotz leichtem Herunterbinden entwickelte sich die Pflanze bis auf 115 cm Endhöhe und zeigte vom ersten Tag an einen enormen Vigor. Immer wieder richteten sich die Triebe von selbst auf und wollten nach oben. Fast schon ein kleines Beast – ähnlich wie die Fruitbomb Punch, dabei aber deutlich unkomplizierter und über den gesamten Grow hinweg angenehm einfach zu führen. Unzählige Seitentriebe lagen am Ende fast alle auf derselben Höhe und bildeten ein außergewöhnlich gleichmäßiges Blütendach. Lediglich der Haupttrieb ragte noch etwas darüber hinaus. So viele gleich starke Tops an einer Pflanze sieht man wirklich nicht oft. Genau das macht die Chicken & Wafflez für mich aus: unkompliziert, wuchsfreudig und vom Keimling bis zur Ernte eine der pflegeleichtesten Pflanzen des gesamten Terp Tests. Auch beim Trimmen spielte die Sorte ihre Stärken aus. Im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Pflanzen war deutlich weniger Blattmasse vorhanden, wodurch die Ernte angenehm und zügig von der Hand ging. Nassgewicht: 140 Gramm auf rund 0,18 m² Anbaufläche (30 × 60 cm). Auch beim Aroma geht die Chicken & Wafflez ihren eigenen Weg. Während die beiden anderen Sorten eher fruchtig-süß unterwegs waren, präsentiert sie sich deutlich würziger. Schon direkt bei der Ernte zeichnet sich der typische Charakter immer klarer ab: eine angenehme Würze, kombiniert mit einer dezenten Süße, die tatsächlich an Ahornsirup erinnert. Genau diese Mischung macht das Terpenprofil schon jetzt unverwechselbar und hebt die Chicken & Wafflez deutlich von den anderen beiden Sorten des Terp Tests ab. Die Chicken & Wafflez ist kein klassischer Heavy Yielder mit riesigen Monsterbuds. Ihre Stärken liegen ganz klar woanders: enorme Wuchskraft, eine hervorragend gleichmäßige Pflanzenstruktur, viele kräftige Tops und ein außergewöhnliches Erscheinungsbild, das vom ersten bis zum letzten Blütetag begeistert hat. Die 140 Gramm Nassgewicht auf 0,18 m² sind für mich deshalb ein Ergebnis, mit dem ich absolut zufrieden bin. Mein persönliches Fazit fällt deshalb durchweg positiv aus. Wer ausschließlich auf maximale Erträge aus ist, wird vermutlich andere Sorten bevorzugen. Wer dagegen eine unkomplizierte, äußerst vitale Pflanze mit enormem Vigor, einem perfekt gleichmäßigen Blütendach und außergewöhnlich schönen, frostigen Buds sucht, sollte sich die Chicken & Wafflez definitiv genauer anschauen. Easy Growing vom Keimling bis zur Ernte – genau so wünscht man sich eine Genetik. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. ✌️🌱💚

Final phase, just water and environment control. A lot of damaged, stained and discoloured leaves. Not sure if related to the fert switching. All in all, they are looking good. Harvest week incoming.

01/09/2022 Finally time to flower, and all girls went into flower room at lights out.The males will be next week, don't want to put them in to early so I will carefully check every day and separate before they open their flowers. I'm guessing week 3-4 I Will select two branches on each female to selectively pollinate. 01/11/2022 Blue Matter #5 (update #5 culled male) repotted with lemon og seed Will continue in her own evolving diary. My hope is to eventually graft different cuts for a multiple variety mom plant, I can have 6 total plants And would be nice to be able to maintain only one mom.

Everything’s wonderful. But a lot of work to do @ the moment.. Today I had to realize once again how different a run can be. One Dark Devil has given up. So I had to harvest her. About 2 weeks early. This specimen had already resented the topping, I think. She didn't show much effort to become more branched and was already pre-flowering in week 2. I am looking forward to a few suggestions or opinions from you, dear garden friends. I'll put photos in a moment... Normally, I wouldn't top an automatic of the Red Family from Sweet Seeds from experience. Somehow they had problems more often, when I did. When they were fully grown, they were usually very productive and healthy. She simply had too weak nerves. But that's ok. My nerves are also pretty down. Due to the loss of my beloved Quimaria - I miss my sweet cat girl insanely. That's why I didn't want to interrupt this passage with the good old Secret Jardin to set up the Homebox. Too many beautiful memories stick to this tent, because my ladybug always sat at the edge of the bed, when I did my gardening. For me, this also means a kind of farewell. This plant also began to bloom after a very short time. But I'm happy about more space, because all the other comrades-in-arms like it very much and everything is progressing properly. She behaved as if she was already slightly over time. Little perspiration. And no changes were noticeable. Leaves with an autumnal touch. But a wonderful berry-like scent. Now I have hung up their flowers to dry.

13 Weeks total including 1 week flush. Super easy to grow, LST her from the get go and she responded well. First time growing autos and all very easy Smells incredible! Very fruity, The yield looks pretty good, no scales tho but will try to weight when dry. Big heat issue during flower which fucked a lot of the girls, her included, so I think the yield would have been bigger but we got a nice amount in the end Have trimmed her and put in a box to stop light getting in with strings holding her up, hopefully will dry ok as others are still going so can't hang in grow room as per usual Will dry for a day or 2 until stems snap, then into jars for curing there after UPDATE: Dried for 4 days - small nugs fully dried, larger still a little moisture inside, have jared with a Boveda in each jar to help maintain moisture levels in the jars and are popping jars twice a day if not more for 10 mins or so a time. Dry Weight in jars @ 49 grams total, I expect it to go down a little but not much, really happy with the yield amount Smoke wise tastes nice but know a few weeks in the jars will really open her up :)

- Week 11 - ----- Day 71 ------ The end is in sight. The trichomes are slowly turning amber/purple inside. and a lot are cloudy. No more fertilizer until harvest day where I will use floranova grow to induce leaf growth when i switch them back to 18/6 with Metal Halide at 600 watts. I'm going to guess day 75-77 harvest. ----- Day 73 ----- Back Wedding Cake was ready for chopping. You can see from the 60x micro more mature amber and drying mature trichomes than cloudy/clear. Front is not, Going to chop day 77. More cloudy/clear and round trichome heads then mature and shrunk. This is a huge yield. not going to guess but Harvest number should be by far the largest I've ever grown. ----- Day 74 ----- Today Im gonna sample the Wedding Cake harvested yesterday. I hope it knocks me the hell out to my couch with a bat to the face of intensity. Time will tell. Probably no update on the high till tomorrow lol. ----- Day 75 ----- Okay, last plant will be done Saturday. Trichomes are mostly ready, 48 hours she's cut worthy. I wont be updating tomorrow, there's no point. Saturday should also have some more of the Day 73 Wedding Cake (from here on known as D73 WC) dried for a better smoke report (yesterday I just passed out) but I don't expect them to be dry for at least a total of 7-10 days and it's day 3 today. (they're fuckin fat and DENSE so it'll be a longer process to remove the interior moisture) Last water feeding for them tomorrow. Next time they're ready for water I'll be feeding FloraNova GROW to assist in the transition back to 18/6 Vegetative 600 watt metal halide that will start the day after harvest (Going to give a full 24 hours after harvesting before changing light cycle. I've learned to NEVER double up stress on plants. It's like breaking the law, you never break another law while doing the first one, it exponentially worsens everything.) After harvest expect a Veg week by week addition to this grow, and then once my lab results come in from Tropicanna I'll set up a distinct diary for it. Then once the Wedding cake is done and results from lab are in i'll do the same. *** Update *** I put the time on for lights at 13 hours today instead of 12. That will continue for 7 days. It'll then go to 14 hours lights on for 7 full days with HID light before switching finally to MH @ 600 watt 18 hours. This is a technique I hypothesis will help ease the transition period back to veg. ----- Day 76 ----- Here's a nug shot. Lied about not updating today. Harvest tomorrow. ----- Day 77 ------ Harvested today. Here's some pics. Fed FloraNova Grow - 800ppm 6.4ph 8 liters to start the reveg journey. Tomorrow i'll be adding a new week - Veg - as lights will be going to 14 hours during that week which I will use as a transition for 7 days before jumping to 18/6 until re-flower in probably October. Harvest info will be 7-10 days from now unfortunately folks. Shits thick and therefore lots of spaces for water to be hiding and needing to be dried before curing. Smoke is real nice. super clarity followed by ocean waves of distraction and spacing out.

Week four of flowering, and the plant is looking amazing! 🌱 Trichomes have really started to cover the buds, giving them a nice frosty appearance. There’s a lot of resin building up, and it’s exciting to see so many trichomes at this stage. The plant itself is still in great shape, with healthy, vibrant leaves and no signs of stress. 🌿✨ I’ve adjusted to the BioBizz week 5 feeding schedule, and it seems to be working perfectly. The plant is responding well to the nutrients, and everything looks on track for a great harvest. 🌸 I’m getting more excited as the weeks go by! Can’t wait to see how the buds will continue to fill out and develop in the next few weeks. 😁🌼

09/21/24 - Purple Punch 👊 & Green Crack 💚 Both these girls got the lollipop 🍭. All the winners stayed 🏆 😂. They got a bump up in the PPM, and we also increased the TPS Signal for the 3gallon dunk to now 3ml. 100% Bloom juice now. Runoffs are in the 6.3-6 4. So they thriving. 09/24/24 - Purple Punch 👊 & Green Crack 💚 Both these girls are drinking heavy, and already starting to see frost on the PP. We have them a top feed of just pH 7.2 water, to hit the 6.4 runoff.

This lady is slowly starting to stretch with short internodes. The grasshoppers are doing the defoliation for me. It's always been sunny for a month, not a cloud on the horizon.😎☀️☀️

FBT2309 is doing well, and is starting to get her bloom on. She is looking good. I defoliated some leaves in the center and likely will a few more in days to come. Just making sure the main bud sites are open to light and air better. The Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 works great in my space. The Gen1:11 nutrition is a good organo-mineral fertilizer. I have had some great tasting flower with it. Thank you Gen1:11, Medic Grow, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

I haven't defoliated much at all through this entire grow, so I decided to do a thorough defoliation and cleaned out the entire lower canopy. I also removed the sucker branches and adjusted the nutrients for early bloom. I'm using Recharge and florakleen to flush between nutrient changes.

This week I can already tell she’s starting to swell, I’m excited to see how much! I think this might be her last week or so until I start flushing, we’ll see about that. Humidity has been great and temperatures also are under control.

Hey there! So week 2 came with a couple of issues, my hometown (Wich is in Argentina, southern hemisphere) went through a heat wave, I did my best to try and keep the temp down inside, but my indoor was in a room without ac, so off to a slow 2 week too... This seed and most of the grow equipment was given to me and my intention was to made more seeds out of it and gift them for the second cannabis expo in Argentina.
