Nepali Pink and Straw. Cheesecake

[raratt]

Strawberry Cheesecake weighed 4.3 oz dried. Between the two, even though the NP put out more weight I'd grow the SC again.

Checked the trichomes on the girls today, NP is ready to be cut and hung. Going to spray them off with water to reduce any added protein from the bugs. The SC plants are still clear, so I'll let them go awhile longer. The most efficient spray for the aphids was definitely the insecticidal soap, the spinosad seems to work better on white flies.

I'm growing NP outdoors in NorCal, trying to find optimal harvest time. I thought they looked almost ready last full moon, but I just felt they were a little underdeveloped, but damn they looked good with all those pink hairs! Now the next full moon is upon us, and they still have a lot of "live" hairs, but the buds are far less pretty, most of the pink hairs have dried up or turned brown, the neon green color of the buds has turned a little yellowish/browning, but I did have to spray with insecticidal soap for those damn aphids also, so maybe that's one of the main reasons they turned color.

How long did you wait between flip and harvest? Did you have pink hairs all the way at the end? what was your percent cloudy/clear/amber?

btw, spinosad isn't really working on the aphids we're seeing around here..pyrethrin works though....soap is good too and has no residual, seems like you figured that out already!

I was mostly growing indoors until I found the aphids, and I found them when the girls were in flower so pyrethryn was not an option. I had no pink pistils but I gave a clone to a friend who grows outdoors and his are all pink. The timing worked out that I could finish them off outside.

I was using a loupe to check for amber trichomes, I think I went about 10-11 weeks after flipping. It was about a week or two longer than the Straw Cheesecake I grew with them.

I just read through this entire grow journal, nicely done my friend! I must admit, I haven’t spent much time in grow journals over the past few years, but it was wonderful to follow along on your journey!

Nice job!

Thank you, I have been lucky enough to find a good mentor to get me going in the right direction.
