It’s getting close to harvest time and they’re starting to fade a bit. Trichomes are at about 75% cloudy/25% clear with some scattered light amber on a few of the sugar leaves. The smaller plant will finish first, so the larger plant will probably have to finish outside while the smaller one dries in the tent. I’ve had to start staking the branches because many of the buds are leaning from packing on the weight. The buds appear to be fairly dense, so I anticipate a generous harvest.
They both got a couple light feedings of Fox Farm Big Bloom this past week. I was hoping this might help boost some frost and terpene production as they finish. Maybe I’m just used to the smell, but they still seem like they aren’t as loud as they should be. The big girl doesn’t have nearly as much frost or scent compared to the small one, however it isn’t quite as mature yet. I’m guessing they’ll need to be harvested about a week apart from each other.
@PurpleWorship,
Thank you! I was probably a little too handsy with them at first as I’m sure most first timers are. I learned my lesson after I snapped the top. 😆
Hey man, amazing grow! I've just started my first ever grow with green crack, do you have any advice? Was LST and defoliation worth it? I read not to do LST on autos. Thanks!
@alexgrowsweed,
Thanks dude! They were super leafy, so defoliation was absolutely necessary. Trimming was a nightmare too. I think they need plenty of room to grow, so if space is an issue, LST is a must. Neither plant seemed to be negatively affected by either technique and I think it absolutely increased my yield.
