Yer Blues

Something interesting.
Maybe 2-3 hours before taking the bud and pre defanning pictures, the plants got nuted. Notice how flat and healthy the fans look. It's easier to see in the bud shots.
Then take a look at the side shots. The fans have gone droopy in the 1-2 hours I spent playing with the plants. Or, 4-5 hours since watering.
But don't you newbie people worry! Those fans will be up and photosynthesizing in no time. Just thought I would point it out.

Upskirt??? They are so naked I can see their uteruses. Nice grow. Still a fat 25 to 30 days to go.

Maaaannn... Shore don't smell like no dope up in hurrah. Best comparison I can make is to plums. Like, if you took a bunch of plum juice and reduced it over low heat. I can't not smell it.
I no longer fear waking up to the Tijuana River when it is having one of its moments.

[Going2fast]

Plums huh that's a new one. My single lady is just sttto get the candyish smell. Sweet with some fruity.

[Gingerbeard]

Plum is what came to mind. Noone has told me different.
Remember, I don't have the connoisseur's nose some of you people have. This makes the back of my nose drip into my throat, a little.

[Gingerbeard]

Peaches, too.

Week 8. Still stinky, but not as stinky.
Back two started out as right two but got rotated to back where I keep the bigger plants. Short in front, tall in back for easier access.
Front left, for those who have been following along, is the one that got laid down, released, and collared for roots that were growing from the trunk. It is the least ripened, by far. First bud shot.
Back right got itself some of those extra roots growing that front left got.

That is a gorgeous garden Gingerbeard Not a tip burn, impressive. Nice looking Dope

[Gingerbeard]

Thanks! Defoliating as I do is the reason you don't see any burned tips.
That, and you're high. It's not major on what's left, but I got burned tips. My cotyledons died early on. I'm big on cotyledons being health indicators.

[dirtymike]

Yes I am High, always. Cotyledons are indicator of plant health later on in its life cycle?? I see a set still hanging on in one PIC. You grow some sweet looking refer. I bet it taste as good. That Pollen chucker is good at making fruity dope beans. Another month and you'll be tasting some.

[Gingerbeard]

The exact science behind cotyledon health exists only in my head. Cotys are always the first to go and I think it is because of not knowing exactly when seedlings need their water paid attention to. The longer I can keep them alive, the better my plants seem to do. These got killed pretty early on when I had that pH pen kerfuffle that also burned the tips you can't see. Any still hanging on are as superfluous as a third nipple.
Got up close with watering and the ongoing, late stage plucking. There are garlic mid-tones to the plum/peach smell.

Myrcene I do believe, Good sign Of a smooth smoke.

[Gingerbeard]

Front left may have started out the champ, then slacked off, and is behind in maturity, but it is the only one doing that funny purple thing. Go figure.

[dirtymike]

Trichome count looks high and the pistils are turning Ginger. 60 + days

[Gingerbeard]

Nine weeks.
Something positive for today.

[Going2fast]

I can smell these pics. Amazing!!! Nice grow as always. Give the Dabbers an extra rub for me if you please.

What's up with the green cup, are you experimenting with some thing

[Gingerbeard]

Check post 26, page 2...

[Gator]

Okay, cool, now I have to go get a look at my plants lol

[Gator]

Maybe more ewc???

[Gingerbeard]

The reason I collared that plant is because I did not have enough coco to top off the bag because I will not buy a bag when three inches in a Solo cup will do the trick.

[Gingerbeard]

Not even trying to figure out the smell G2F. Analogy wise, I mean. It smells like marijuana fruit. That's all I can say. There has been a random hint of poopy baby diapers, but I am not convinced that is not coming from TJ.
The 'still nursing' poopy baby diapers. Not the 'first solid foods' poopy baby diapers. First solid foods poopy baby diapers are when the game changes.

Seguro que si amigo mio

What we got here is back right. Please disregard the hairs that should not be there and any dust balls my fans might have thrown off when bumped, which should also not be there.
All the top flowers are well over 50% ginger. Many sugar leaves are 98%. The lowers are still somewhat glassy but still ginger sprinkled. The middle is nigh on 20% ginger. I'm pretty sure she needs to die. Where's me Fiskars?
All the others are gingering along nicely. I had not planned on harvesting until 10 weeks, but my hand might be forced. Definitely going to do these days apart.
Threw in a G2F pulldown cola shot. They're trickier to do than a straight shot but look real fine.
