Ethiopian Sativa indoors week 9 flowering. Wonderful oils and smells coming off her now. Lower budsites have already shown red hairs and some nice trich production.The colas are now slowly turning and gaining weight. Started yoyo's as getting that heavy.

Just a thought, however if the buds are getting too heavy for the branches, they might need more some elevated levels of potassium, which is always in high demand from mid-flowering onwards. Other than helping the plant's health and ripening the crop, potassium also builds strong stems and branches.

I have begun flushing now.
There is a very unique African Ethiopian aroma that these girls always emit. Oily ,spicy, incense , And and "Earthy-ness "which is very homely. Somehow there is a whiff of pine, lemon and even a spicy type of aniseed / mint combo that I do enjoy.
In Ethiopia there are great big Eycalyptus trees and Jasmin trees and many others which have an intense terpene profile and bouquet which really drentches the air in due season..
This herb plant fits that intense "heady" aromatic and somewhat "old school medicine cough candy" aroma.
When you burn it , the taste can be really earthy and clearly identified as African. It has some roasted coffee elements and a slight amount of chocolate amongst the Earthy flavor. This changes over time. Am just tasting a sample and it is still far too young. However it just puts me right back in Addis Abeba with a couple of Big head spliffs at the end of the day listening to bird song in my garden. Coffee in other hand and toasted popcorn to nibble. Feeling the reminicising vibes that Ethiopian herb really brings up. A great social herb and pleasing herb. Opens up creative ideas and happiness flows.

Will be looking forward to harvesting herin a couple weeks now.

They look fantastic. They still could use a touch of Potassium (wood ash) though. They'll ripen even more. Great grow.

They looks nice and chunky ( although a bit too green), no need for anything but water until they're mature; giving them k (or any other nutes) right now will fuck up the taste big time IMHO

some take forever to finish you can try giving longer periods of darkness.

While late nutes can influence the taste, woodash would have a very limited impact. It will dissipate with the cure.

If you look at the videos made by the Greenhouse Seed Company, you will see that most of the potency and complexity of the high shows up on the last weeks of ripening. And K is the main ripening nutrient. Also, from the leaf tips, the purpling of some of the leaf stems - clearly the plant would like a little extra potassion to finish up.

Just to demonstrate, look at the outsized impact of the last 3 weeks on the development of terpenes and THC.

So in my opinion, giving just enough K in the last weeks is crucial to proper ripening - and it will also shorten ripening.

Sorry but i don't click on external link.

It's common knowledge that you need to harvest fully ripe buds to enjoy your weed at his best, no need for GHS to discover that

When I look at ULM pics all i see is (slightly) overfeed plant (burnt leaf tips, thick dark green leaves),no k deficiency.His plants seems fine as they are to me.

By the way i have grown ethiopian a couple of time, here is a bud picture of a cross i made long time ago:

You can copy and paste it. Or even feed it into google.

Why don't you try it on one plant, and see if you notice the difference?

[Pepé The Grower]

I already do it outside, in the ground but never when it comes to harvest times more when amending the soil before the season start.

But honestly i have a hard time thinking about doing it to potted plants,especially when it's flushing time.
But it's just about me
