Zamaldelica

[Karl_O'Barley]

One week of flowering light schedule(11/13) finished up. Filling out, nowhere to go but up!
Not sure when I should get in there and defoliate and prune the lower, smaller, shaded branching/budsites, whether it's better to do it sooner like today, or wait until further along once the stretch is slowing down.

Already getting whiffs of mango and carrot when I open the tent.

It's 100 gallon bed, this is it's 3rd cycle with minimal amending in this 4'x4'x6.6' tent. Thinking I should maybe go pretty aggressive with removing a few more full branches and topping the existing main branches to keep things closer to manageable, but I'm pretty new to growing overall and kinda wanna just see how crazy it'll get in here as-is. I do love me a bad idea now and then...

I really like your style of growing. My indoor has a 100 liter bed, I'm reviving it as it was unused for 6 months. Now I got back to it for seed making.

Am I able to post the grow of My Zam here....?

Day 90 on the flowering stage for Zam.

She will be harvested this week after a full 13 weeks run. I would have liked to take her 14 weeks but I've been dealing with nanners for the last two weeks and don't want to end up with too much immature seeds. She smells like bitter mangoes with an oily background that reminds me of Malawi and Golden Tiger. Smoked some bomb GT friday night, what got me super excited for this one.

Some fat buds @FeelHaze

What the fuck!?

I wasn't expecting it to produce that much. Even the lower buds are fat. Keeping the colas from falling over was a hard task.

Its a great looking plant. Is this a pretty stable strain overall? I know you mentioned hermie issues. I have 5 seedlings from a 6 pack of regulars im about to throw in veg

@RobFromTX

I haven't seen much hermie plants while reading this thread and I think it has a good reputation in that sense. Also, my experience with Zamaldelica is limited to a single plant. Mine was a little sensitive to stress but not a true herm. It threw 2 pollen sacs after transplanting in early flowering (it stopped after that) and some nanners from week 11 or 12 until harvest. It still finished nicely. Not sure if I pushed it too much or if its in the genetic. I know pure zamal strains can be sexually unstable.

Tomorrow will wrap up 2 weeks since flipping the lights. They're drinking from the bottom watering tray now. Any advice on pruning these? Was thinking this week might be a good time to defoliate and remove smaller and lower branches, or should i let em stretch first?
