This Phantomberry's internodal spacing is super short. I believe I would have been okay not training her at all. I have limited room in my small tent so I always LST. She probably didn't need it. She's my favorite in terms of aesthetics and scent (stem rubs).
Because of the way I trained her and the fact that she didnt stretch much, colas were growing on "top of" and "into" other colas. Partly my fault for over training her. The buds are also verrrrryyyyy dense, the densest Ive grown so far. But because of this Ive been concerned about bud rot. While watering my plants today I noticed a very small dead patch in my main cola. After further inspection, I found the dreaded bud rot. I was in such a scramble i failed to take pictures of the affected flower. But I circled a picture from yesterday of where it was located. It is my first time getting botrytis. Luckily I found it early and it only seemed to affect my main cola which was chopped and disposed of. I also removed the rest of the plant right away and decided to harvest a little early. I was going to harvest her next Wednesday anyway. She smells of sweet flowers and her buds are gorgeous and filled with red hues. Hoping the botrytis doesnt spread and I am able to keep the rest. Trichome pictures are from yesterday as well.
Even with losing some to bud rot, I don't think I would have pulled an oz of good bud off this plant. That's too small for my wife and I we stoners :smoking:
But I will say the nugs are very pretty and we did smoke a .6g joint already. With practically no curing it tastes great and is smooth. It also has that nice throat coat quality. Seems like it will be a good night time smoke. I'll be saving the rest to cure for at least another month.
