pic 1, 2, 3, 4 are from 8/28. pic 5, 6, 7 are from 8/29.

This past thursday 8/28 made five weeks of flowering. I attribute her late bloom to the bugs i had to get rid of. Since taking on the critters, there have been fewer spotting on the leaves, more growth, and the blooming of pistils.
The main cola is full of leaves at each node with pistils forming also.

hope you enjoy,

here are some updates. About six weeks into flowering
First two pictures is the Citral taken on 9/5/08 and the third is the Top44 which has shown me some pistils. Top44 is 12/12 from seed, in a 4" pot, pinched at all the nodes. Picture four is of the second main cola taken on 9/7/08. Picture five and six are the top of other shoots--these i plan to leave for re-harvest. And the seventh picture is the pistil that the Top44 has shown me. It looks deformed from pinching.

The pistils are turning from white to orange daily. So far a couple a day since about four days ago. Since i don't have a microscope to check for trichomes. i'll look at the %of color change in the pistils before i harvest. The next watering which should be in a couple days will include molasses. every watering after will be straight watering.

Very impressive!! I love the shape of the plant! It's very tall and compact like a hedge bush or something. Those bud sites are looking real nice as well.

Keep it up! I've heard Citral is a really nice smoke so make sure you keep us informed.

Since a few days ago. The lower larger fan leaves are begining to yellow with the lowest being more yellow than the others. Since I don't have a microscope i'll harvest her in a couple weeks which would be...9weeks into flowering??? the Citral is said to finish flowering in 8-10 weeks.
The reason why i choose a couple weeks is because i want to water her one more time before i flush.

She looks good, kaili! I'd be inclined to give her a couple more weeks also. She looks as if she could fill out a bit more in that time.

I originally planned to harvest in about another week, but i have decided i should harvest her tonight.
Reasons:
1. after reviewing my notes, she will be 10 weeks into flowering with breeders recommendation at 8/10weeks.
2. Many of her fan leaves on her main cola is yellowing, fallen off, or shribbled. The middle is bare of large fan leaves.
3. Need to make room for the Top44 in 12/12 and showing pistils.
4. gonna make some light placement changes since most of the 42w have burned out or are losing brightness--I can compare light intensities with UV ray glasses. The 26watter i have appears to be brighter than the 42w
5. Since i'm one of the few people who've waited 10weeks to harvest it is, hopefully, a blessing in disguise for my patience
6. I got my med card the other day so it's like a gift to myself since we don't have any dispenseries.
7. I hate paying $70 for an eighth, but i hope i get a buzz like it.
