malawi x panama

[Borderliner]

Syd thanks for stopping by and the good vibes. They veg at 14/10 and flower at 11.5/12.5. first pistils couple wks before started 11.5/12.5

looks like if go from first pistils their at 9wk going into 10wk.

IMHO I don't think I'd count from the first pistils before flip, which methinks are preflowers that indicate the plant's mature, but not budding. I would call day 1 at light flip, which is a common measure that people understand, or when the plant actually starts making flowers, usually 10-14 days after flip, which usually aligns itself better with what breeders indicate as flower time. Kinda like telling a pregnant woman her due date is two weeks farther away than it is. That way they find themselves in labor before they can panic
The great thing is it doesn't really matter what the day count is as long as you wait until the buds are as you like 'em I would love to say I'm super zen about it but I watch the count like a hawk on coke and can usually only bring myself to let about half of my plants ripen truly well. Sorry to blab on, definitely an eternal cannabis question

dwd thanks man. There is a learning curve on spotting when buds are ready no doubt. most of my grows timed from flip of lights then gave couple wks extra all the while looking for bud changes. think there is an art and science to it.

Just going by how much amber doesn't always work. Bog's sour bubble have gone couple wks past due date without seeing much increase of amber. some guys look for pistils brown and retracting but zamaldelicia had plenty white pistils wks after due date so don't think that is the holy grail either.

so my girls have lost most all white pistils now most are brown and retracting and will start checking for amount of amber.

love your buds, man! however, clinching breeders' harvest time is shaky a tad methinks...we've seen quite a diversity in phenos of a single hybrid...growing premises along side the handling of a plant can elongate or shorten the harvest window...what say you folks?

orfeas thanks man.

girls fading nicely have noticed increase amber last wk so put some boiling water to 3 of em and plan to let sit in the light for a day or so and then do the other 3.

smells have deepened with major pine taking more complexity with an added musk which is very rich.

thanks to Ace for great genetics and another trouble free grow.

Hi Borderliner,

My pleasure Nice to see you are about to harvest your Malawi x Panama and that her flowering time has been shorter than expected.
Yes, i would start flushing and harvest her in her peak of best terpenes with the balance of trichomes you are looking for

Thanks dubi, do you count start of flowing with first pistils or when flip lights?

Hi Borderliner,

I think is quite accurate to start to count the flowering time when the females start to produce preflowers and they start the initial flowering stretching.

 

[Borderliner]

thanks dubi that's what it looked like to me

 

[Borderliner]

3 girls finished and moved into a dark room to sit couple days.

Congrats on the harvest Borderliner

Please, let us know your opinion of the outcome after the curing, thanks!

 

[Shadowsfall]

How is the smoke test looks to be a monster

 

[Borderliner]

Shadowsfall it's cured few wks planned on waiting for a good month

No samples yet BL ? your a patient man looking forward to hearing how she smokes, curing does make a huge difference eh..

Buddler, yes samples have been very good with an immediate head rush followed by body stone very pleasing

Borderliner, Any thoughts about what your next grow is going to consist of? Peace
