Yes the Amber trichomes are out on the sugar leaves and they looked like that last week with slightly less Amber in them. My other plants have not even started to turn Amber yet but they are a different strain. These are taking longer than I anticipated but I counted weeks from the day that I flipped lights so I was probably premature with my hopes.
I’ve been growing for a long time. Hoping for an earlier finish never goes away. Nice looking plants. If you are itching to try the smoke, as hippie said, snip a couple of buds(but you will still have to wait for it to dry then cure if you want to know the flavor).
I bet next week I will probably say ‘another week’…
I flipped the lights on may 3rd. I am not 100% sure on my strain but I only have three kinds of seeds so I'm pretty sure this one is called forbidden fruit. It smells fruity, kind of reminds me of a citrus smell mixed with earthy tones. It reminds me of the old fruit scratch and sniff stickers I smelled as a child, that mellow kind of citrus scent. Kind of hard to explain but that's the best I can do.
The oddest part is that none of these turn purple. I had purple stems but it never propagated to the buds. The bud that the seeds came from was purple, the other was purple and green however when I grew them none of them turned out purple. The temperature is in my room are quite warm though, averaging around 80°. That's okay though as long as they turn out good smoke.
I was about 5 minutes from that point. I had just finished stringing up wires in a drying box to hang them but figured I better ask first.
You could and it would be good but if you wait it will be great.
It smells like citrus. Low tone fruity, a little earthly but more fruity than anything.
