Where's My Dog F1 has some interesting aroma's still. Smells a bit like stale rotten fruit, vomit, and dog fart. Her flowers are stacked though and even though the combo from the aroma doesn't sound pleasing I still find it completely interesting and I can't help it but damn I want to smoke on this one! Nice and frosty for sure. It will be interesting to see how she finishes off after cure with the terps.... Super easy grow this one with about a week left in flower she is flushed and depleting her nutrients and pulling out some real nice color here at the end.

3 days difference in the bud pic same flower. I did my intentional stalk split I like to do a few days ago and the tric production went wild! Im pretty sure Im one of the only people still using the stalk splitting technique in late flower and it is apparent that it works quite well from all of my journaling I've done. Kushman's cyropractic is another old school technique I still use to this day indoors and out and Ice water flush is yet another great technique I like to use at the end of a grow cycle. I have over the last couple of years found that cranking up the wattage or light intensity near the last few weeks of flower has helped me with getting a better flush with the plants and helps bring out more color at the end of a run however I do turn down the power in the last week before harvest and do a 24 to 48 hour dark period before I do the final take down of a plant. I usually with about 4 weeks left in a flowering cycle run my power up to about 500 watts in my 2x4 which is insane and goes against just about every grow light recommendation but hey when all of my documentation has shown that terp profiles and trichome production increases as well as flower density and yield something good is obviously coming from it. Science is ever changing, so don't ever be afraid to blaze your own path and prove your own science! Growing your own and being happy with your outcome is the only thing that really matters when it comes to growing bud.
 
Was thinking about trying the stem split but everything I read says not to with autoflowers. But if your able to don't see why I shouldn't give it a try.
I have had some very good results using it in the last week or 2 of flowering. I don't use the technique outdoors though because of risk of bugs or infection getting into the split. I think the technique came about in the late 70's early 80's and the concept behind it is that the plant raises its natural defense mechanisms ( trichome production/potency) to defend against whatever is attacking it. I have been using the technique indoors for the last decade without any negative effects on the plants and from what I have documented it has increased tric production in most cases. One could argue that tric production would have gone up anyways in the last few weeks of flower but I have done side by side grows of the same cultivars and it has sown an increased tric coverage. Be careful when you split the base of the stalk as sometimes the split can get out of control going up the stalk. I usually tie off the stalk above and below where I plan to split it so the crack doesn't get too big. I then will put a few toothpicks to hold the stalk open.
 
Yeah I did it on a few photo periods before I quit growing so I searched it some and everything I read on it now was that not to do it with autos......but bugger that, since I seem to have gotten a handle on the growing part again it's time to try increasing quality.

Yeah, I've seen some old timers doing that in the late eighties, early nineties on photo's of course. But read some books where stem splitting was already discussed in the early seventies. In India and Nepal they supposed to be doing that for way way longer than that...
 
Straw Dog F1 day 64 from seed and 46 days into flower Ill probably run her till day 80 ish from seed she is soooo greasy! The smell is intoxicating, sweet strawberries and a skunky chemical funk.
