Hey AFN!
**ANNOUNCEMENT**
I am testing a product in an upcoming thread which is some new LED tech in 5ftX5ft tent in 30L airpots. Fucking awesome setup!! Lets hope i can do it justice!!
Colorado Cookie Day 72:
The largest top colas came off yesterday as they looked nice and ready. I had thought from my previous couple of harvests that it would create a more consistent quality if i chopped them and didnt let them get to crispy... if that make sense
i noticed an iota of mould forming on one of the buds towards the lower part of the main cola. I am guessing this is where airflow was not sufficient enough to pass through. However i do react fast to my girls and the next 3.5 hours were dedicated to leaving no budsite unturned and seeing if there was any detrimental damage to the rest of her or early signs of mold elsewhere.
Good news, i had spotted it early, so moving forward was with this in mind.
I have left the bottom half to thrive until day 75-77, it appears this phenotype is dead on 11 weeks. She has been an absolute pleasure to grow and i think she will be up there with the strongest, most terpy and handsome bud i have grown to date. A real keeper.
Here she is hung up
The lower part sttill doing her thing for a few days:
The first bud that was chopped a few days before and quarter of the way to dryness. I seperated lower buds to inspect any possible mould.
I will upload the remaining chop pics when the rest of her comes down. But for now i just twisted the shit out of her lower branches as i want them to get as much light as possible and she will be on daily flush for the next few days to encourage her to use up any sugars in her leaves.
I did think it would take around the 80/84 day mark and she may have taken the push, but i felt the quality of the smoke would have been compromised for an overall dry buddage of about 5g extra weight and with potential issues i could have lost the lot which at this point im guessing is over about 100g of dry bud. Terps are super high right now, really sweet to almost cheesy and funky... the grow room and neighbouring rooms STINK... good stink though! :smoking::smoking::smoking:
NEXT UP:
Here is the... i dont really know what to call it...
I really dont think this is purple punch, but i dont care. She smells INCREDIBLE and i just want to shove the buds up my nose lol
She smells like tangerine dream, a friend is growing two purple punch... not only are they super purple... the structure and smell is totally different... a bit too much to . be pheno variation... but im not a botanist, just someone who likes to smoke copious amounts of weed so we will leave tat to the experts and get stoned instead. lol.
My pictures dont do her a lot of justice inside the tent but it is too awkward to get her out of there... i have to tilt her sideways and kind of stretcher her out lol. When she is done i will take some proper closeups and budporn wet n dry.
Thats it for now till next week, thank you so much for taking the time to read my thread.
Peace.
