Well done to all and especially the winners It was awesome to be a part of this! Thanks for all the organising, seeds and involvement!!

Ready

And just like that, we are done Plant #1 and the chosen one is as per the pics below. I trimmed up one bud properly to see the bud structure. The rest was wet trimmed of all big fan leaves(final dry trim to come) post drying. So after 11 weeks of flower, she is looking grand. The plant I chose was slightly smaller than the other one, but I felt like the bud structure was nice, good colour, and frosty AF! This is some serious sticky icky goodness @Totemic Thanks for the seeds and the competition, and all the awesome peeps who participated. It's a pity I didn't get to dedicate more time, as I really feel that if I had not neglected them for weeks at a time, that I would of turned up even better results. But it's a testament to the ridiculously good genetics as they really shown through even with the abuse. Soil: Mix of Freedom farms and my own custom blend Nutrients: BioBizz Bloom and Grow as well as molasses and some banana tea at the end Light: Phoenix Sky Sunplus 200 (240w) Th pics don't do her justice really. Apparently 3 were excluded (+ my video) also as I hit the limit but there you go

So I have decided today is the day of the chop. I checked trichomes over the weekend and the plant that I think I am going to put forward is #1 with slightly amber trichomes coming in. The rest is sitting with murky and some clear, but its time So will cut down later and post pics accordingly either later or tomorrow.

Plant #3

Plant #2

So I took some nice pics last night Gave her a good feed of plain RO water 2 days prior to that and flushed a little. All 3 have popped out more now. Plant # 1 I think will be my choice, but I think I have a week or so left (will check trichs again tonight). Plant #2 is frosty, but colouring not as nice. Plant #3 is growing some bigger buds, but not as nice looking as #1. Plant #1 - Best looking so far I reckon. Beautiful bud colouring, pistils are darkening nicely, and leaves (although not seen in the pics so much) have nice colour to them too

I should be done in a week or 2 max I reckon, and then they will get the chop. I will check trich's tonight again

So we are into week 10 of flower. I gave the ladies 2 feedings of banana tea and molasses last week, and I feel like they are starting to bulk up nicely too. Took some trichome shots as well, they are starting to go cloudy but overall still clear. So we still have some time.

Wow, you have grown some monsters there well done! Looking stacked and frosty!

Nice training and good looking buds there!

Looking good! I am also going to take the microscope to mine later to see where we are at. I think I have the same one, as its super difficult to take pictures and have it in focus etc. Not for forum pics, but for me to see a bit better, I use the video rather and record, then I catch some better shots to check out.

Below is my normal schedule: Veg 20:00 ON 14:00 OFF Flower 20:00 ON 08:00 OFF I find this works very well for Gauteng. My grows are in the garage, so in summer, the day is very hot, and the night a bit cooler. So most of the light on time is at night to compensate for heat. And then in winter its coldest at night, so again, thats when I run the lights to provide some extra warmth. The more ideal times would be around 18:00 and not 20:00 to leverage more of what I am saying above, but this makes watering/feeding/tending etc. more difficult, so I adjust it slightly.
