Final update before harvest
everything is going great! come harvest time, it will have been 2 weeks since my last nutrient watering, which is hopefully enough time for the chemical taste to go away.
i did a "flush" sunday, where each plant got 2 gallons of water (both sitting in 2 gallon pots). I have a lot of perlite and sand in each, so i probably got close to 1.25-1.5 gallons back in the bucket i used to catch the run off.
watered yesterday with pH'd water (pH ~6), giving each plant 1/2 a gallon along with molasses. did the same thing today, and saw run off in the trays they are sitting in, which hopefully is carrying the salts/fertilizers with it.
i did a trichome check today, and they "seem" like they are all cloudy, but i could almost swear i saw some clears, but its hard to compare at this point. i havent really seen any ambers yet, which is good. does anyone know if its a rapid turnover rate from cloudy to amber? cause at this rate, i could let it go another week to really develop the buds, but i dont want to look at the trichs one day and see 15%-20% ambers. anyone know?
i would have been pretty upset with myself if i had harvested last week when i had originally planned. they are getting so much thicker and producing so much more resin in the past week, i am almost hesitant to cut it down this weekend. but then again, i love that heady, speedy high. id rather harvest too early, than too late and get couch lock though
ill be watering with another gallon of water+molasses between the two plants probably saturday, and then chop em down either sunday morning, or monday morning. fuck im so excited! plus im going to florida for thanksgiving while they dry, so the wait will be a lot more tolerable.
