Whats up everyone.. Happy New Year..
here is an update 3 weeks in they grew taller then expected so will prob do a chop at 6 weeks or so depending on trics and leave the bottom half of the plant another couple weeks to fatten up what do you guys think?
I had mixed results, I cut the tops and let the lower growth fill in. 1 plant was good, the other two were so-so. The lower growth may have matured too long, kinda started looking a little funky about a week after I cut the tops, and the result is not comparable to the other from same plant.. Just lacks flavor, smell and potency..
I would suggest focusing on your tops, say the top 6 - 8" and when they are ready chop and evaluate the lower growth... If your lower growth looks mature and has amber/cloudy trichs I would just cut them.
Be sure you let the calyx's swell up too, you will notice them starting to look as if they are swallowing the orange hairs, that is when you know the flower is ready.
Make a separate jar for all the lower popcorn growth. It wont seem like anything special at the time being you will have big full kolas, but its still going to be quality herb for you..
Use it for some brownies or cookies to share with your friends, make some hash, or just stash it away for a rainy day.
