Wow, those looks so beautiful!!
How long did you flower them for?
I am ending week 8 and they look done but maybe they aren’t? I say they look done because i don’t see any white pistols popping out. Is this strain different that you still need to wait a bit longer ? You got some really nice tall length with your flowers. Mine are all kinda squat. It could be that it’s not a good scrogging strain.

Hi Amber,

I'm at day 75, (10.5 weeks) Initially I was planning on taking them down this past weekend but I decided to give them one more week. I'm still seeing a bit of swelling. @BobBitchen's meltdown seemed to finish a bit quicker... around 8 weeks for me. I have three different phenotypes, Two really stretchy ones, two squat ones and two average sized. The front right plant is maybe 24" tall at most. The stretchy girls would be great for scrogging, you may have to keep hunting for that perfect plant.

Interesting. It’s hard for me to tell stretchy from squat because of the scrog screen pulling them down . There is a difference in the leaf color and shape and size . I assume the wider one would be the stretchy one but will have have to wait for more clues once I remove the screen. The wider one has a lot more tiny leaves and they are greener than the other one. The other one has bigger leaves and a lighter green color. But they both have very similar flower shape and form. This next few days will be interesting and I need to really watch to see if they swell like yours. I am not feeding them very much . Sometimes days just straight water other days like 400 PPMs . I sampled a bud the other day and it was really smooth. 10.5 weeks is a long time to flower . Have you looked at the Trichomes with a jewelers loop? . I would love to see what those Trichomes look like right now.

I found that the thinner leaves were more sativa dominant and had more stretch. The squat plants seemed to produce more compact dense buds.

I don't have a electronic loupe, but it was definitely more than 20%

I harvested last weekend. And the results were very good... two turkey pans full from six plants.

Last night I moved them to a paper bag (thanks for that tip by the way... really upped my flavour game)

Smoke tasted a little green but that's to be expected after five days. The high was really nice, started kinda euphoric then settled into a long stone. I'll post final weight Sunday or Monday.

nice harvest. i don't know if the new light i have sucked but this harvest was like the worst I ever had. I had quite a bit of almost hermie going on in one plant with the lower buds. it was like little empty bubble balls where a seed might be. ...I think it was the light because i have not had that issue previously, or maybe the strain does not take scrogging very well. I have a bunch already paper bagged up as well. Your looks better than mine, for sure. The stuff smells hella good , like citrus spice.
So whats up next for you sister?

Hi Amber,

I saw your results. :( Definitely not what we're used to seeing come from your garden. I think you might be onto something with the light. Your grows under the timber lights were always impressive. One thing I noticed is they were really finicky with the nutrients and PH. I ran a very low (for me) PPM with this crop. If I pushed it even a little I would get burning and stress. Do you have meltdown? I would run that if I were you. I did two runs of it and got big chunky buds each time with lots of purple... and they gobbled up as much nutrients as you could throw at them with barely a complaint.

Next grow will be critical orange punch from Dutch passion... my partner bought these seeds last year and she's been dying to run them. Then I'm going back to running Bob's seeds. I'm a big fan.

I saw you're going to be moving again. I'm sorry this has been a crazy few years for you.

Oh wow, Critical Orange Punch sounds awesome! :weed:Good Luck with it. Yeah its been fucking nuts. I have been royally screwed over with these last 2 jobs. I have some big plans in the works, so hopefully something really great will in my future. This move will be different. Selling everything and taking time to find the right job and living situation. Not going into a job blindsided this time. Plus pursuing another field and working toward another degree to get out of healthcare. My next grow might be on hold for a bit but i will look forward to watching yours!! CHeers.

Bummer, well I hope you end up in a legal state again. It’s been fun following your grows.
