Outdoor 3xMazar & 3xSweetSkunk Balcony

[Solomon]

Hi again,
a little up after a while. I'm pretty busy, so I'll be quick, sorry.
Lets start with the youngest gals in the woods fighting those beasts. Today I've put there some hair I got from the barbers, let's hope they'll help.
Sweet skunk 3, 41 days. Not a huge bush but if she'll make it, she'll give me some bud I hope.

Mazar 3, also 41, already growing through the fence, SS can't compare, even if she's not as bushy as her older sisters were in this age.

Sweet skunk 2, 48 days, just a midget already in full flower. Don't know which crazy think I've done stressed her so much...

And finally some good news. The day before yesterday I've been to see my old ladies in the country and they're just beautiful. However it was too dark to take some pics so I will on the chopping day in about a week or two. Their leaves are still healthy green, pistils mostly white...
However, I've taken one little side bud hidden among the leaves to taste her so here she is:

:smoke::dance2:
see ya on chopping day guys

Hi, I'm just thinking and I have a question (or two to be precise) to ask about those two Mazars I have at my friend's:
1) Sometimes I see people cutting the big leaves with plants still growing and they have just the buds and fan leaves there in the last stage. What do u think about this one? I haven't cut anything from them so far and almost every single leave there was healthy green at about 90 days. However they were very bushy and maybe there's simply not enough sun for the buds to get them ripe at this age already?

2) I'm going to see'em this weekend since I'm leaving next week for a holiday and I'd like to chop them (day 105 and 100 or so, i.e. week 15 and 14!). However the guy is telling me they were more or less the same as last time I've seen them on monday. What do u think about plants 105 days old still being white. Sorry I have no pics but I'll make some for sure on friday or saturday.

Edit: just reading Muddy's post about chop when yellow, but still: It's been 15 weeks! I'm also not sure I can trust my guy not to spoil the harvest when I'm gone... I'll see tomorrow or the day after...
Edit 2: After reading Muddy's great thread there, I'm decided. This weekend I'm going to see what I can see. If they're not yellowing, I'll let my friend do the chopping when gals are ready and hope I won't bother him much...what a pain in the ass not to have those ladies at hand

Hi Solomon, I'm also loving the robustness of the Auto Mazar, although mine too is not showing much, if anything, of the usual signs of ripening. I would like to leave her until fully ripe, i.e. all leaves yellowing, although in practice I expect that I will try to let it ripen as much as possible, but still harvest before the rot sets in. A delicate balance? If in doubt I would suggest to leave it, especially if your friend can harvest it quickly for you should it start to succumb to the dreaded rot.

actually, that's what I'm a bit afraid of. I doubt he'll incpect close enough to see the mold early enough, he does not care about the weed much (not as I would for sure, he's no smoker, only his wife uses some for making ointments). making him do all the trimming during harvest is also not very polite, that's a different thing to ask than just having them in the yard and water them from time to time.
also, concerning the modl, it has been raining quite hard here for the last week but a day or two of sunny weather can do the trick... I'll decide when i see'em, I'll brief you on sunday or so.
thanks for your concern.
btw. how old are yours?
