Week 7 was another strong week for both Candy Hustle phenotypes, and at this point they are clearly moving into the final part of flowering.🌱 The buds continued to gain density and weight throughout the week, while the resin production has become one of the most impressive characteristics of this grow. ❄️ Both plants are absolutely covered in trichomes now, reaching well beyond the flowers and deep onto the sugar leaves. Some of the larger colas are developing into seriously chunky flowers, while others still show fresh white pistils and appear to have a little more swelling left to do. The first signs of a natural late-flower fade are also becoming more visible, which fits well with where they currently are in their cycle. The differences between the two phenotypes are becoming especially interesting when it comes to aroma. Pheno #1 is developing a distinctly sweet grape profile. 🍇 There is also another note appearing underneath that reminds me slightly of mint or menthol, although I’m still not completely sure how to describe it yet. It gives the otherwise very sweet profile a fresh and slightly unusual edge, and I’m curious to see how much of that remains once she reaches full maturity. Pheno #2 continues in a completely different direction. Her aroma is much more reminiscent of soap combined with that sweet candy/Skittles character. 🍬 The smell has become noticeably stronger during this week and is developing into a very distinctive terpene profile of its own. Water consumption remains fairly high, with the plants currently needing water approximately every two days. 🌡️ Temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~52% 💡 Light: ~1000–1200 PPFD 🚿 Watering: Around every 2 days 💧 Water: RO water + CalMag 🌿 BioTabs Bio PK: 1x this week 🌱 Green House Feeding: No longer applied ☀️ UV: 60 minutes per day UV exposure has now reached 60 minutes per day, and this is where I’m going to stop increasing it. The plants are already deep into flower and showing excellent resin production, so I don’t see much reason to keep pushing the exposure further and potentially introduce unnecessary stress this late in the cycle. Green House Feeding was also left out completely this week. With both plants looking like they could potentially finish within roughly the next two weeks.(possibly even a little earlier depending on how quickly they mature) I don’t feel there is much reason to add more at this stage. BioTabs Bio PK was given once during the week. Overall, Week 7 really shows how differently these two Candy Hustle phenotypes are expressing themselves. The resin coverage is already exceptional, the flowers are becoming increasingly dense, and both plants are developing very distinctive aromas.❄️🔥 Pheno #1 with her sweet grape and possible mint/menthol character is becoming particularly intriguing, while Pheno #2 is heading further into that unusual soapy, sweet Skittles-like direction. 🍇 From here, patience is probably the most important part. There are still fresh pistils and active flower development visible in several areas, so I’m not setting an exact harvest date yet. The next couple of weeks will be about watching the flowers finish, monitoring the trichomes and letting each phenotype tell me when she is actually ready. 🌱✂️
