So I haven't been around in a while. Lots of things going on in our life, but everything's good and well!
I'm just past the 6 week mark now. They look better & better every day!! Only thing is....the Silver Lotus was a bitch with the scrog...I think it was just because of how tall it was when I put the screen on top of them, so it didn't allow me to really maximize the potentional. There are a few big tops, but most are too tall & falling over! I've been working on tying them up so they don't fall over. The buds look great & smell amazing too though! The smell reminds me of Snocap, and that's one of my favorites. I'm really excited for this one.
Next time I plan on sprouting the seeds, letting them grow about 6" or so & flowering to force sex. That way I can get rid of the males & re-veg the females so they can grow UP to the screen instead of putting the screen on top of them.
Anyways, here's a few delicious pictures! As you can see, the Lucky Charms took to the scrog much better. Looks a lot more organized lol. Since taking these shots I've trimmed out a lot of excess leaves to allow more light to the whole tops these last few weeks. It does have a real sweet smell to it, but can't compare it to anything, really. I can see the "marshmallow" smell in it though.
What's up everyone! I'm back & it's almost time for these ladies to get the chop!
Today is day 64 since flipping to 12/12...I'm getting antsy! It sucks not finding any grow journals for Silver Lotus, so I'm just playing this one by ear & assumed its flowering time based on it's crosses (SSH & Snow Lotus). I think it can probably go another week....I just don't know if I can! Lol.
I've taken a few sample nugs/branches from each to test them & I gotta say, once these are REALLY done, they will be pretty outstanding! The Silver Lotus definitely has fatter trichs, and its taste (even after no cure) reminds me of Snocap a lot. It's kind of a creeper too lol. Lucky Charms didn't have much flavor yet, but its bag appeal....well, check out the picture below lol
Anyhow, what am I missing.....hmmmm......I think that's it. Just counting down the last few days & waiting for them to look fully mature. They're already pretty dense, which makes me happy too.
I'll put the pictures in the next post. Happy growing all!
