Hey guys I apologize for not really updating recently. I started a new job so I've been kind of busy. Unfortunately I didn't get a hold of a digital camera yet but I took some shots anyways. These girls are looking awesome and very frosty!! The main colas of both plants are so thick I don't even believe it and the smell is amazing. When I squeeze a bud and smell its a very sweet and potent ganja smell.
I took about one hit worth of bud off and left it to dry in the dry box I made for this past week. I took the sample hit earlier today and it's more then I could ever wish for. Granted it's too early to judge the final product I was still amazed at how tasty the smoke was and how high I actually got from just one big hit from an early bud. I was blasted for a good hour and I can't wait to see what the actual result will be.
As far as harvesting goes, I honestly feel that Big Lady will be an earlier harvest then Shorty mostly because the trich formation on Big Lady surpasses it by a lot. Big Lady's buds are just caked with layers of crystals and a few of the hairs are turning brown. I got a closer look and about 1/3 of the trichs are kind of milky looking but not quite there yet.
I started setting up lighting towards the bottom of the plant to induce internode growth on each shoot. Basically the bud formation starts on the lowest node of each shoot but a few of them are not getting enough light in order to make them stretch upwards to meet the rest of the buds. I got four CFLs set up on the bottom for each plant which should solve that problem and really benefit the final yield.
The pics aren't that great but you get the idea. More to come soon.
