I understand you so well, @Wako78! I actually miss the sounds of living in a tent in the bedroom these days. It's a combined kitchen and living room. For a while, I was living out of a suitcase too! Because the plants had to go in the wardrobe. 
I was often advised to go to therapy! 
I know for sure that I'm growing these plants. Even if I weren't going to smoke or eat them...

So, another small update on the six Angel Heart plants! The six backup plants have grown a bit too large for the available space. I took another cutting from each one and then cut them back to the lowest nodes, just in case a cutting didn't form roots. After the first time, I highly doubt any cutting would root. The male AH#7 formed roots within just a few days – by far the fastest I've ever had.
While watering the flowering AH# plants, I noticed that all but one or two are ripening at pretty much the same rate. One looks like it will be the fastest, and I reckon it will probably take about 14 days longer. But honestly, I expected that from four of them. So it's all the more surprising that they've all entered the final stretch at pretty much the same time! Anyway, I have to keep an eye on the trichomes now to be able to say for sure. It really is an excellent aroma. I actually had to buy a mango to be able to say that two of them smell completely like mango. Even more intense than the mango I had from the supermarket
. I'll probably have to cut off a couple of small sample blossoms to have a little taste on harvest day. I have to honestly admit that this hasn't happened in a long time. So I already suspect it will be difficult to decide which lady gets to stay. As is often the case with women? Each one has its own charm. In any case, I have to use, or rather abuse, each one of them to be able to say which one fulfills me. Luckily, spring/summer is just around the corner. So they can survive on the balcony until the decision is made.

At the end of week 10, five of the six Angel Heart plants are definitely on the home stretch! Except for one of the ladies, who still wants to flower for quite a bit longer. It's very noticeable that all three buds on this plant have a clearly very different resin production. Three plants have a delicious aroma of ripe mangoes. So far, I haven't found a mango in the supermarket that smells so deliciously of ripe, sweet mango. A truly unique scent. Even the more compact buds, where you can see more skunk, have this aroma. This fragrance translates into a sweet, tangy Mango Skunk Haze. The plants now only get water when they're truly dry and thirsty, which varies quite a bit. Those that want to flower longer need even more water. Around the middle of the eleventh week, I'll use my microscope to determine the trichomes and their maturity. So far, they're nowhere near the desired ripeness. That might change in five days. Now I just hope it doesn't rain and the humidity stays within limits. At night, it's occasionally reached a maximum of 69%! That's making me a little paranoid.
Okay, enough talk!
I wish you all a great start to the new week and have fun!

Nice fat buds and plants look very healthy at 10 weeks.
That aroma sounds perfect.
You are doing a great job @Schlawiener.
Happy 420!

Thank you! Perhaps I shouldn't have given them the Bio Encancher in week eight or nine. Their vitality is incredible. Especially since they received a high DLI (Depth Intake). I'm usually used to not always getting the most beautiful plants with that. These plants have blown me away since week six!Nice fat buds and plants look very healthy at 10 weeks.

My brain still needs to adjust to the fact that some Angel Heart tomatoes smell more like ripe, fruity mango than the mangoes from the supermarket.

Agreed, effect and practicality are my main criteria.
Unfortunately I just don't have the space or time these days for long flowering lines.. I tend to stick to the 8-10 week sweet spot.
It's a real shame because i would love to hunt through some hazes and find a special girl to keep around.
Until then i'll live vicariously through your and others grows..

Of course, @Wako78. It's hard to live with this paranoia. So, the dehumidifier should still be running for 14 hours a day for a few days. This Chinese Spyder Farmer thing is doing its job. It's just that beeping, beeping, beeping is really getting on my nerves right now. As long as it's not raining outside, it's still perfect. One day of rain is definitely okay. But a few days of rain with increased humidity could be risky with this bud density. But it'll be fine. It looks like the first or two will be ready to harvest in a few days, according to today's microscope inspection.

I've had some really good Haze hybrids that took 10-11 weeks to flower. What annoys me most about a long flowering time? When the end result is a complete failure, maybe even after 100+ weeks. No matter how much you enjoy the growing experience, it should still be useful.
@Ray I still need to get used to the Sativa/Haze strains too.

Thanks @Mate Dave. Every time I use the microscope, I get back pain afterward because I always end up holding it much longer than intended. I'll try to describe it as best I can. It certainly won't be up to the standard of
"Vascular Plants of the Pacific Northwest." But I'll try to explain it as best I can.
In any case, the description matches the aroma perfectly, visually speaking. It's almost the plant with the best flavor according to the description. I thought I'd have one or two favorites, but now every single one has its own appeal.
