So I ended up harvesting earlier than I wanted for multiple reasons. The most obvious one being all my plants suffered from a lack of nutrients as I had vegged twice as long as my schedule had planned without increasing the dosage required for bigger plants. This resulted in a slow starvation for all 4 plants.
Secondly, 2 plants went hermie due to the stress and ended up pollinating one of the plants sharing the tent with them. This caused the plant to start making seeds as you can see from one of the photos.
So with half my harvest going hermie, and the other half already gone yellow/brown and pollinated I decided to cut my losses and harvest the buds as they were. Lucky the deficiencies at this point hadn’t reached the flowers yet, but the total harvest wasn’t ideal. I would have liked to see the trichomes go amber but never did.
In the end the high is very heady and smoking too much gives me a headache probably from the underdeveloped trichomes. Although the buds and leaf are very frosty looking, the actual buds are very small so it’s mostly just frosty leaf. I think I’ll end up using it for hash or edibles since it’s not very nice to smoke.
It’s been a cool experience growing weed for the first time. I’m already 11 weeks into my next grow and have learned a lot from the past grow to make this next one more successful.
