Week Freakin' #8 π
100%... Thought 100% I would be cropping this week... trichomes were talking, breeder timeframe is close, Spicy Bitch "hermed" out on me... so yeah, definitely thought this was going to be harvest week! Nope... the girls aren't done yet! π²
Heat: I love heat... but this is crazy heat for June... Set-up and timed the grow to be done before the real heat hits in July... mother nature is laughing at me now...
There was one night (daytime for the girls) that with the grow door open and the light dimmed as low as it could go... temp was 34 C.... WTF!!!πΏ I think that might have been the night Spicy B. finally gave up and hermed... Sex Bud is still taking it like a champ!π No sign of 'nanners' yet!
Water: The girls want to drink more but I have to watch it closely as when I harvest them, I would love a good 3-4 day dry period before the chop... I find it helps them to finish up faster. I only gave them 2L on day three and 2L on day seven... straight water, no blackstrap molasses.π
Aphuks: Of course these little bastards are still kicking around, which I knew they would, but still somewhat under control... at least it doesn't seem they are doing any damage yet... Still going to try and wash them before hanging to dry... unfortunately, Spicy B. didn't get the 3 bucket cleaning before hand, but these girls will!π
Defoliation: Stripped them again... not like they don't enjoy it with a name like Sex Bud...π³ Tried to remove large leaves and any that had a long stem. I believe those large/stemmed ones are only stealing energy at this point... Save the energy for the BUDS!!!π
Trichomes: Last week, the trichs had me fooled into thinking that they were done... the pics tell the story here... still a lot of clear in every pic so I'll check them everyday, maybe 4 to 5 times a day.... Damn Excitement Overtaking! π
Let's see what the next week brings... hoping on a harvest... settle on a harvest!π
