In the tenth week. Busy time. You need a machete to get through the bush. I dont know why my plants take so long to finish but i think it is a hot room. I had been looking closely at trichomes to see what was going on and everything was turning cloudy with a little yellow sprinkled in. You gotta check things closely. I always check every leaf and every bud using all my senses testing for mold bugs mildew and male parts. When a bud feels colder than normal i check it real good. There is mold in the cold. Then i use my noseā¦ then eyes. If i find some i cut it out once- and that plant is being scrutinized on a timerā¦ when i see it again then it is a going goner. Bugs -it depends how the plant fares and how much you want to risk. I grew my plants so they buffed themselves up with their own natural defenses, and the huge healthy buds were the way i could tell it worked. I had 2 dr grinspoons, one -no bugs ever touched that i could see. The other dr grinzo- its leafs got absolutely treated on by mites and the plant did not even seem to care about it and produced dreadlocks. The bugs were happy on that plant, the plant seemed fine, the other plants were fine with their buddy getting eaten. The 2 bubblegum plants were first done. Maybe could have used another week to bulk up even more, but i found a spot of mold in the huge buds, and the trichs were yellowing up so now was the time. No sense in pushing anything closer to ruin when success was so close. I like to let some leafs yellow up a little more but that plant seemed to stay green. Then og bubblegum, and one of the three sisters decided it was time in week 11. NL5afghan got a few male flowers in the warm environment and i didnāt want to pick all over on it too much when it was going all awesome. I had some long sativas and i didnt want to pull down a bunch of seed. I pick test buds before and after to compare taste and potency, and I believe i picked it at a time where the trichomes were about a quarter amber. Shantibabas weed always leaves me with a more higher feeling than stoned for the most part, leaving it longer didnt really seem to increase potency much after this point in my opinion. Testing in progressā¦ Everything else needed to continue on.
The Holy Smokes were smelling delicious. They did not even smell a bit like weed, but rather some intoxicating hawaiian fruit juice. One cut with vanilla the other oranges. Heavenly, dreamy, mouthwatering scent that delightfully stayed on my clothes and hands until hours later. The Holy Smokes on day 77ā¦ they are a bit sunburned, thats not stopping their tropical vacation holiday!!!

And here is a beast!!! NL5Afghan! Day 77. Finally done Marcus. Here i was looking for such a long time, just waiting, mouth watering. The smell is of grapes and sweetness with a heavy dose of cream or vanilla. Little bit of weed scent too but barely.
