A huge amount of photos this time lol, I know.
It was really tough to show with the camera, but most trichomes are milky with about 30% clear remaining. No sign yet of ambering, but once I see a light sprinkle I’ll pop her into darkness for 48 hours before the chop.
I underestimated how much time she’ll need before harvest and started the watering with just ph balancing this week, but may add a tiny dose of sweet finish in a few days.
In the last week and a half or so she’s gotten especially thirsty and dries up quicker. A little bit of yellowing happening, but that seems to be pretty normal at the end of flowering.
I think this plant has managed to get a half-step above being completely popcorny, and I’m pleased with the trichomes production that’s kicked in. She smells great, like a sweet berry perfume or flowers with a hint of sweetness
Following.
Just started a berry bomb grow and am not happy with the seeds I received. Yours seem to be doing well so I’ll continue to follow your comments and pics as reference.
Good luck towards the finish line.
@shawzy88, Honestly I kinda feel that as well. I can't speak to your seeds, but I was initially a little bummed to see mine were on the small side, and when I popped them it took longer for them to grow the taproot than I've encountered with the photoperiods I've done before or since. I've never done an auto before so I don't know if it's a trait that seems particular to this strain or to autos in general. I've seen others have way greater success with their BBA grows than me - for me I think I overdid it with the nutrients and/or just struggled to lock them in quite right and it ended up resulting in more popcorn-like buds than I thought. I will say that the reviews and info I found on the strain from other growers or the seed distributors about resin really packing on in the last two weeks or so has been incredibly true for me. Seems to get noticeably denser and frostier when I check in on her in the mornings. And sorry to info dump, but I found that she handles some light defoliation really well, and rather than slowing growth she seemed to perk up for it
Thanks for posting the finish line. I’ve been doing a lot of comparing to my BB as they were similar to start. You harvested in week 11 and looking at our plants I think I might be able to squeeze another week out of line. I also pruned a bit more.
This is my 3rd auto grow and I have learned a lot the first two. Hopefully you did as well! What’s next ?
@shawzy88,
I'll check out your progress too - i've got a few more seeds to pop from this strain in the future and it definitely helps to compare. Was able to get my hands on some sweet seed autos I'll be trying out - haven't decided which of the purples I ordered but i'll be trying to fill the tent up with them so I'll have a pretty good chance of getting at least a couple phenos with purple bud. I definitely could have gone another two weeks on mine, it was pure impatience and inexperience that had me hesitate and decide to chop when I did lmao. Good luck man!
