First harvest of Dutch passion blueberry. It went long, 11 weeks. Trichomes were all over the place, clear to Amber nothing definitive. My last watering revealed gnats in the soil big time. I must've got lax because up until then I'd seen very few and not all the time but the soil just came alive, like the whole surface was moving. FM I treated everything in the room and haven't seen a trace in 3 days. 3 of 7 were infected. All are due or close to harvest. This I wonder may be the delay in finishing.

It's been a 100% organic grow. Using budswel per directions. 1cup to 5 gal along with molasses 1 oz/ gal although not with every watering. This I'm sure the gnats feasted on. I do let the pots get really light before watering again.

I'm finding that a proper dry/cure is the only way to go. Makes the wait worth it. Smoking a joint a week during the process lets you know something is happening in that jar. I'm at 4 weeks now and the smoke is way way better as is the high. Smoking it early is really not a good experience at all and makes you feel like you've grown bunk weed that tastes like coffee grounds. It was like a miracle in a month. Cure that bud.

What do the cured nugs look like?

BB is known for popping nanners, did you get any since it went extra long?

The buds are suprisingly light but really sticky, all of them have been that way. Very aromatic. They dry evenly. Leaving them in a 73° house on s screen with the a/c on and a mild breeze from the fan. RH is about 50% in the house. 40% in the grow room. They dry well enough with an almost snapping stem within 4 to 6 days to start jarring them up. The Jordan of the Isle Ambrosia takes the longest to dry, usually 7 or more days.

I just harvested my oldest plant. Found 20 or so seeds in the whole thing. All the same size and color with black stripes. No young white seeds at all. I didn't expect these but I'm not complaining. No hermie traits anywhere on the plant or I just didn't see them. Is this a hermie? This is the 12th week of flower. The seeds are in the pics. image.jpegimage.jpegE All were in the same location.

It was def a herm at some point - common with the strain

Since the beans are close to the stalk, it must have had a male flower early that had already come and gone by the time the bulk of the bud was grown.

I have to admit that I did have a few males culled and tossed them in the mulch pile. I'm sure some got on me at some point. I thought the whole thing would have seeded up. Funny thing is the ones I tried to pollinate didn't take. I don't mind seeds, I remember someone quoting seeds don't affect the potency of the bud, just the weight. It makes sense to me
