2 days hanging. The frost has more than doubled. The hairs are changing colors, and the trichs have gained a lot more cloudy, I even saw one amber, the leaf is showing a general yellowing. So from what I see so far. Between the shock of being cut off from the root system, and still maintaining growth light cycle. The bud is still maturing but at a much greater rate than if attached.Okay I did it,,,, I chopped a whole branch, not one of the prize colas, but a very nice future cola. For the chop and hang in light experiment. I checked the trichs and they clear with less than 15% cloudy, still at least 2wks to go.

We'll see how it goes.
Do you think you'd achieve the same results if the branch was trimmed before hanging?2 days hanging. The frost has more than doubled.

A shot of the plant the branch was pulled from. Visible difference in maturity.

I'm thinking 3 more days of dry before jar, but if it gets too much amber I'll trim fans and finish hang dry in a cool dark place.
Thx alot. Yeah funny how the frost seems to have come earlier than the mothers from last grow. I actually think i had a worse enviroment this grow. Funny how cannabis keeps surprising.They look great Hydro! Nice and frosty at only 26 days good shit man!
Well my train of thought (which could be traveling twice the rated speed of the corner) is that the leaf is the food source for building more trichs and continued maturing. Once the food is gone I believe that it will die, and I want to have it either jarred or finishing drying in the dark prior to death.Do you think you'd achieve the same results if the branch was trimmed before hanging?
Whether through photosynthesis or catabolism they are the plants food source.Well my train of thought (which could be traveling twice the rated speed of the corner) is that the leaf is the food source for building more trichs and continued maturing.

I'd guessing at least 3wksHow long do yall think is left on my auto I think it is about 45days maybe + or - a few days

Watts, I too was under the impression you were gonna put the cola in water...maybe that's the next leg of your experiment?Are you going to try a branch in a gglass of water too watt? I really like the idea of letting the buds mature and leech. It'll be at least 3 months before I can do a more scientific trial of it. My little seedlings are on 4 th set of leaves and close to ready for some LST ...reveg girls are stuck in stasis going to bump light from 20/4 to,24 hours a day. Cheer WOH
Awesome Stevie, can't rep you anymore right now but I can say you represent our "hempy family" very well...no putting a cigarette lighter up to those colas...the can did the trick for me!Day 62, Harvest: Its been a stinky ride these last few weeks but well worth it in the end.
