Been a minute I know.
Sorry for my absence I've been lazy.
So we are at the end of week 7 tomorrow.
Colors is popping out on them. The blue full-spectrum 41k bulbs.
I think doing what others have said they will do. There is more trichomes. I believe so cuz they sure do look Frosty and there's lots of that's good grease growing on them.
Practicing a little high stress training on them. I usually never let my plants get yellowish drying them way out. The leaves start to fall off. Drying them out until the leaves start dropping I rarely ever do that.
but I have been doing some reading and watching some videos about these Growers that have been growing for a 30-40 plus years and looking at some of their techniques growing in high altitudes low oxygen dry conditions and they just let the plant get beat up.
So it's not about getting big yields out of these plants. It's more about getting the best bud possible.. Hard greasy sweet full of all that yummy flavor stuff that you like in your weed. And do it all organic.
So these techniques come from wine growing Vineyards. These guys up in the California mountains have been growing like this for years. Growing their weed.
I've been following this guy's growing style growing on the same Mountain for 30 years.
The weed growing on the West Side of the Mountain so all the wind from the Pacific rolls up onto this mountain and dries it out the air and plant life. He says he hardly ever Waters. Plants look terrible not very tall not real real big but yet good-sized. Leaves all curled up dried out yellow brown.. but the buds. The buds they look like a kids fist in size. Buds are Just hard as a rock greasy as hell. Really top-notch looking bud.
So what I've done to replicate that kind of growing environment. Has been to keep the heat on, as I had the problem with the PM earlier so kept the heat on. Heat been running around 77 to 83° right in their most everyday. The humidity running around 27% almost everyday. It raises up a little bit at night but after the lights come on a couple hours goes back down around 27% from 32%. When I water the humidity goes up a little bit to around 45 to 55%.
Then a few hour's later starts dropping.
The mg-25 is starting to look very nice I'm really digging these buds. They're super greasy I touched a couple of them are very dank and hard feeling they're filling out nicely. They're all about the size of average size coffee cup. And the smallest ones are about the size of a big thumb and they're super dank. And greasy as hell. I already know the smoke is good smoke it's got a fruity bouquet and it's excellent Buzz.
The headband they're looking good. They aren't stressing out as much as what the the mg's are. The headband is liking the conditions more so.
The buds are looking good not as greasy looking as the M.G.'s.
I know the smoke is good and the buds are looking well enough. I hope to see more grease on them. I think they're going to be a little bit longer to harvest than what the mg's are as they don't look like they're as developed or mature as what the mg's are.

The buds are super hard ... All of them you could bounce them off the floor and play quarter bounce. They are freaking rock hard. This may be the hardest buds I've ever grown ever
