La Buena Hierba Selection

A few days with a bit of rain, a bit of sun, some clouds, nothing too extreme.
Day temps around 34C-35C, a degree or two cooler than last month, RH maybe 60%-70%,
night temps around 27C-28C still, RH up to maybe 80%-85%.
Thought to visit, as rain hasn't been enough to really keep them going.
Though they have been drinking slightly less with the mulch, lower temps, and as they mature.

Day 108 (Flowering Day 81) La Buena Hierba: Thai Gold Photo, "Miss Thailand"

She's really hitting her maturity now, just entering the ripe window, though it will continue for a while.
Those outer leaves are continuing to yellow, then die and shrivel up.
So I first pick off those dead leaves, definitely don't want to leave them near the flowers.
There are some leaves that have a faint pink red coloration to them.
Despite these dead leaves and the high RH, no signs of anything nasty inside.
The older calyxes on the main stems are also now totally brown and withered up.

Enough talk, need to show you some pics!

And some of the individual colas, which ended up more than just those two towers!

You can see the increase in the trichomes.
The way the outer leaves and yellowing and dropping, it will make harvest easier, just sticky leaves remaining!

They are not super tight and dense, but this is better for my climate conditions.

Can see there is still production of fresh white-pistil calyxes.
But the older calyxes are already degrading, so need to find that balance between fresh growth and older over-maturity.

I may first cut one (or more) of the smaller to medium colas first.
I have a good window for harvesting this weekend, so might get some in a bit earlier.
Then leave the rest for another week or two or however long they need.
Jars at home also getting low...

Day 79 (Flowering Day 42) La Buena Hierba: Jack Herer Auto, "Lady Jacqui"

Lady Jacqui was wilting a tiny bit, she seems a little thirstier, mainly due to the medium being light, I think.
Though she has stayed greener than Miss Thailand over all, just losing a few outer fan leaves.
Her buds are slightly leafier at this point, so it may be she just has more N in the mix.

But her autoflowering genetics are kicking in, as she has gotten thicker very quickly.
Almost catching up to Miss Thailand, thought not quite.
Her perfume is getting stronger too.

Let's look at some of those longer colas she has there!

20200814 LBH Selection (9).jpg


Maybe I can also take a smaller test bud from her this weekend, as a sampler to see how she's maturing.

A touch of color up top, but I don't think it's going to have time to do much.

Next is the longest and largest colas on Lady Jacqui.
This one is the same length as my fingertips to elbow!

Thanks @pop22 ! Their perfumes are getting tastier, too.
Though, I'm not very good at describing aromas, so I can't give you the connoisseur's run down....
I just saw "pop22" in the comments section on HighTimes online.
Hehe, thought, Hey, I know you!!
How are those Mazar's treating ya?
 
Sampled some a couple days ago. Smell and taste is wonderful! Hashplant smell, and tastes like chocolate and orange. Powerful, narcotic stone if over medicated lol! Great for pain relief!

Well, not much in the way of sun here but the danes (monks and lebs) just go about their business anyway:smoking:
 
Gave Miss Thailand a heavy dose of Peters 5-11-26 TE after some comments from @Waira in the Outdoor Battle.
I used pure RO water brought from home this time, instead of adding to the pond water (which is rain water, hence low pH).

Have been testing the Thai Gold sample bud cut a week ago.
It's developing well, but decided against taking an early cola today.
Leave her for this coming week of good sunshine, plus hand watering.
Did take a first test sampler bud from Jacqui though.
Give it a week to try it out.
She just got pond water for now, as her color is still quite good.
 
:pass: Hey SM !. Lady Jacqui and Miss Thailand are looking great, and seem to lovely your hot weather there, and the sun would be strong there. I also noticed the increase in bud and trichs. I noticed a bit of pinky red on Durbans leaves, maybe that is where yours are.

That is good Waira may have an idea how to fix the yellowing. Good idea to give Miss Thai Gold some more time to mature more. I know what it is like to run low, been a few times my brothers and I had to go down to Nimbin to get more herb (bush weed),. That will be interesting to her how Jacqui bud vapes/smokes up. I am the same, i go easy on nutes in fear of over doing it.
