I went away for a couple of days last week, and when I got home and parked on the street in front of my house, from the minute I stepped out of my car I could smell bud. Having taken several walks around the neighborhood, sadly it seems we are the only ones growing outside this summer, at least the only ones I've smelled. I wish I picked up that scent more often around here.
I had never heard of backbuilding buds before, sounds reasonable. I think I might be too far along for this season though? 2-3 weeks from harvest... I have one that's a little behind the others and could use some beefing up, maybe I'll try it.
