I took two cuts 10 days ago and just checked. Both had rooted! I'm stoked ...so I transplanted them into soil and I'm very happy ...here's an update on my mother plant.

Bulking up a bit. This plant is so vibrant right now. Really puts a smile on my face...aromas are starting to come on. I get a light musk, leather and incense but no fruitiness yet.

Thanks for the updates TexasTea friend really nice resin production in early stage of flowering.
Imo leather, musky and incensey terpenes are always a good to find in sativa strains, hopefully she later develops the fruity scents this strain is also well known for.

I'm sure the aromas will build up. She is smelling very sweet this morning with a deep musk.

Filling out and frosting up.

Cuttings are doing well. I decided to experiment with a bonsai grow since the mom plant is quite well behaved. This will be a challenge, but I should be able to keep these trained and under control...I hope, haha! Just repotted into a tub that is about 1 liter capacity, and the tent is exactly one square foot in size.

We're talking a mere 14 watts of screw in LED bulbs and a 9 watt computer fan, so 23w total. That is just a tiny amount of electricity but it still seems plenty bright inside the tent.

I have noticed that keeping my big LED arrays turned way down low in my flower room seems to make my plants much happier and no apparent change in yield. Leaves don't get burned up either

Momma is putting on a show now that overnight is dipping into the low 60s F.

in my basement. Aromas are not going tutti fruit but I am getting a musky chemical cleaner mixed with leather and floral smells.

Beautiful. Looks like she's starting to plump up. I can smell it from here

You have some niiice strains.

 

[TexasTea]

Thank you so much! Yes, I am spoiled beyond belief these days with all these great genetics. And I finally seem to have a soil, light and nutrient system that is working well together.

What a great advance in the ripening in the last week @TexasTea thanks a lot for the frequent updates!

 

[TexasTea]

Only four days later, but still filling out and getting colorful.

Looks marvelous @TexasTea ! And close to finish!

 

[TexasTea]

Thanks Dubi! I will check trichomes this weekend, but I'm guessing she still has maybe a week or two...we have a couple more days of warm temps here and then it turns colder next week. Should be good for color as the temps go lower in my basement.

Beautiful looking plant. I've just ordered these direct from ace with their Halloween sale. Sounds right up my street

Thanks for supporting our New Caledonia release @need4weed hope you like it!

 

[TexasTea]

Oh the chunkiness! Man this is a gorgeous plant and a real pleasure to grow. She continues to ripen...leathery musk aromas, no tutti fruit, but still smells like promising weed. I'm getting faint oil paints and terpentine with a fuel and musk component. Trichomes are getting cloudy and there is a weak tea tinge on some, so maybe another week to go. The purpling is beautiful.

Man that's a beautiful New Cal!

I was admiring these double serrations, but the splash of colors on yours is captivating.

Mine does have sweet fruity floral smells

 

[TexasTea]

Beautiful man! Love those serrations and looks like you're not far away from the finish line either.

I'm thinking another month, I lost a little yield moving it around, where I supercropped it, with it being an extremely hollow stem was enough to kill the top.
