Photoperiod Barneys Farm - Peyote Crit/Watermelon Zkittles/Mimosa X Orange Punch

Just a quick update, went in right before the lights came on, smell tends to be a little stronger when the lights are off I feel. The smell is intoxicating by itself, sour berry watermelon aroma, with a distinctive mimosa or fizzy orange juice note in there.

Yes you are correct. The smell is almost always strongest right before lights come back on, when it's been dark the longest.

Dude it's fine, the buds look super proper and that's all that matters! It sucks that when a leaf gets damaged, it never heals, but whatever. I think you did an awesome job, especially considering they are cultivars that you have no prior experience with! Damaged leaves, Schmamaged schmeaves hahaha. They got a little ways to go but they should still put on some weight and turn pistils soon!

Thanks. I have grown all 3 before though. The peyote critical always turns out good. The watermelon zkittles looks exactly like it did the last time I grew it, and I fed it way less than last time. The Mimosa turned out better last time too. Actually I grew the mimosa in my last grow. Completely different pheno. But it also grew pretty well, had some nutrient burn but not like this. This has happened every grow. Where half or more of my plants start looking like this and one is healthy. Part of the reason I wanna go full organic with living soil. Let the plant and microbes sort out feeding, as long as the food is there. Though I think I have enough nutes to get through 1 more grow, so I may just use the main 3 on my next grow and then make the switch.

Was bored this morning so I took some pics.

The pic where Im showing a whole branch on the peyote critical is exactly how every branch is. Then its just some pics of the best looking buds imo

That pinkish leaf in the center of the overhead shot is my favorite color that comes out. It always seems to happen super late in flower

A lot of the lower buds on the mimosa are LARF but otherwise everything on the watermelon is smaller than before but dense like a rock, and purple has worked its way into everything in direct light on all 3 plants. There's some lower larfy stuff on the peyote but not much, and basically 0 larfy buds on the watermelon. Besides the crispy leaves I'm very pleased with how its turning out.

Also the peyote is prone to fox tailing and I think its starting to. Theres a few brand new pistils poking out on most of the main colas, they are sporadically spread on the buds.
