Litchfield Afghani day 38
Showcase Flower Room
The plants entered Week 6 of flowering (days 35-42). At this stage every strain is in full flower mode and the room smells amazing. Everyday the plants get stickier as well. The main focus of the work is removing fan leaves for air circulation as well as light penetration. Irrigation is monitored daily and some strains are quite thirsty now even needing extra waterings to keep them on the proper track.
Most of the room looks like they have a fair amount of time left to finish (4-5 weeks) but a few strains look like they will finish sooner, especially the MOB x Grape Cream Cake and the Litchfield Afghani. These two girls are from Maine Breeders and we feel lucky to have them in our collection. They both didn’t stretch much in early flower, focusing that energy on early flower production. We have 2 expressions of the MOB x Grape Cream Cake. The #1 has flowers that are more pyramidal in shape, favor the grape side in the aroma, and look like they will be done first. The #2 has a more rounded shape to the flower, smells very much like the MOB, and will take slightly longer to finish. The Litchfield Afghani was bred to finish outdoors in Maine and its flowering speed is apparent. At this stage the smell is Earthy with a hint of floral, and the flower structure is similar to the #1 of the MOB x Grape Cream Cake. We are so excited for these plants to be ready and hope you are too!
A view of plants in our veg room ready to reload FOA. These were planted 2 weeks ago. They are about 4 weeks from rooted clone. So much new variety coming!!!
F0A Flower Room
The room is still in the process of being cleaned and sanitized. It is taking longer than it normally would but will be done soon. The good news is that the new driver for the light arrived late Friday afternoon so the room will be ready to go once it’s finished being sanitized. We should have the plants in the room and flowering by early next week.

Tahoe Freezer
Mom and Veg Room
The most vigorous moms were pruned heavily while the rest were left to grow for another week. This equated to about half of the moms being pruned.
The plants that are to be placed in F0A were all pruned this week and are growing nice and big. They are ready to be put in their final places and start flowering. These are all new varieties for us to grow which means more new varieties for you to enjoy. The Micro Batch Strains are showing some real unique traits. Those are gigantic leaves (see pics above) for 4 week old clones on the Lip Smacker and Tahoe Freezer.
The Micro Batch Strains are:
Lip Smacker (Sherb x Strawberries & Cream)
Tahoe Freezer (Tahoe OG x Maine Freezer)
Flying Tiger (Tiger Melon x Apollo 11 Genius)
Trainwreck Afghani (Trainwreck x New Brunswick Affy)
Genius Thai ( Lemon Thai x Apollo 11 Genius)
Silver Mountain (Super Silver Haze x Appalachia)
That is about all for this week. Stay tuned as next week the strains for F0A will be revealed. Thanks for reading and talk to you next week.
One Love
