Hell MNS Family,
What an eventful last two/three weeks it has been. With that in mind there is lots of good and some bad to report with regards the NL Hazami plants.
Here goes -
#1 had faded to the point that she had practically given up so was harvested at day 73. Mold had been an issue on one of the other test seeds (#3 - more on that later) and I simply couldn't afford to wait any longer. The weather had turned damp and cool and so the need to save her far outweighed the fact that she needed around another 5-7 days. She smells like sweet orange haze with a hint of spice so I ain't complaining. The joys of gardening!
Here she is looking less than resplendent but much better in real life -
#2 has caught my eye more and more as she has developed. I very rarely work with indica dominant plants as I much prefer the flavour and high of sativas. However, I may make an exception for this plant. She is rock solid with no mold and has a scent of orange skittles. Absolutely delightful to look at and I would say that the colours match the aroma which isn't something that happens very often. Here she is at Day 76.
I can see a BOTM entrance coming on!
#3 was the dark horse of the grow. She kept stacking on the weight and I was over the moon with her hazy citrus smell. The terminal cola was the biggest I've ever seen. Unfortunately as the weather cooled and a couple of days of heavy rain set in she developed mold. Thankfully it affected only one portion of the main cola and after some cutting and pulling I managed to restrict the damage. As disappointing as it is, things could've been worse. After much deliberation I took down the top cola and left the rest of the plant intact. She requires another 3 or 4 days. The picture shows the plant AFTER I'd chopped out the moldy spot and BEFORE I removed the whole top cola.
I hope my efforts with these plants has been useful and of interest. I have loved every minute of the grow and have learned ever more - 30 years in and there are always new things to be learned.
It could have been that the story ends there.
It doesn't.
I have clones of all 3 currently in Week 1 of flower with another round of cuttings to follow. Lessons from the seed run have been learned and these girls will be pampered like never before.
So along with a detailed smoke report to follow, I will also keep the thread updated with progress of the cuttings.
Keep it green.
