5.31.23 - So last week, I thinned out the plants moderately and they just exploded! BB is a little shorter, and the leaves are smaller and bushier. Tropicana Cookies is getting taller and has larger leaves. the simple clothes pin training did its job and both plants are taking up the full 2x2. Without the additional side lights, the leaves around the waist would be dying.
I'm watering every day. But the soil does dry out quite a bit. I'm trying to avoid too much humidity in the tents because at 55-60%, mold is able to grow. So i'm being very cautious when it breaks 54%. I may try watering more often, but with less water unless it's a nutrient feeding.
Blueberry CBD's odors are coming through pretty strong (indica, what are you gonna do?) but nothing close to a "Blueberry" yet... and then I rubbed Tropicana Cookies' leaves and I immediately caught notes of oranges! subtle, but they're there! Citrusy and distant hiding WAAAYYYY back behind a fairly neutral fresh leaf smell. I think it's safe to say I'm a sativa dominant person.
I've decided to let the canopy go another week before I trim it back again. If I flip to flower now, my harvest would be right before August. But I think I'll let it go just a little while longer. It'll give me something to look forward to when I do my dry and cure into Sept and Oct.
I have netting I'll be setting up once they are in their final stretch. Then I'll double up the nets in the tent for a 2-tier dry after harvest. I have dry baskets, but my last grow was just too wet, I was having to flip the buds in the baskets 2 times a day, and hanging it from the netting was so much easier.

Are you enjoying the show? have you ever tried either of my strains? What are you thoughts?
