Ayahuasca Purple | Outdoor Grow

Well hell. This has been a good week and I've started my harvesting in a few different phases. Trichomes are cloudy and for me that's good. Today I chopped off about a 1/3 + of the top part of the plant and did some trimming and washing of the buds. Yes, washing! I've done it before and it didn't seem to really have any effect on the potency of the weed. All I do is I use 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of lemon juice and add that to a 5 gallon bucket of water and dip and kind of stir the bud around to help get rid of all the dust and possibly little bugs and dead bugs and gross shit like that. Then I just have 2 other 5 gallon buckets with fresh clean water to rinse off and then shake the excess water off and hang to dry. Had to throw away a few branches that had become the victims of bud rot. 😭... It really wasn't that bad, but I just side on the side of precaution and toss out the whole branch. Cut out the nutrients about 10 days ago and I'll probably harvest the rest sometime next week after I jar up and start the curing process with the other batch. Other than that this plant is just about done.
