Back in the Congo

Hello comrades in horticulture! There isn't much to say this week, I suspect this will be my last update before harvest. I think now I should have cropped a week earlier, but I wanted to give them at least a week of water to flush out anything which might affect the taste. The amount they are drinking has really crashed - they've barely drank 6 litres since last Wedsnesday. The plan now is a simple one... 1) Give them 2-3 days to use us a bit of the water currently stored in the compost (this is to make sure humidity doesn't get too high during step 2) 2) Turn off lights for 72 hours 3) Chop, trim & dry! -- UPDATE 16th November 2021 -- Okay folks, they're chopped and now drying. Before I get around to my final harvest update, I wanted to put down my thoughts on these two plants, so here they are: Both my girls are strongly influenced by their congolese background, showing little from their PCK parent. I can well imagine an 12' tall bushes of this growing on some marginal land, developing truly gigantic colas under the African sun. If I were to grow this again indoors, I would do things a little differently to try and control the height a little more. I also think this phenotype would really benefit from more intense HPS lighting during flower. Freshly cut and trimmed, I have 1490g of buds with stems and around 500g of trim which I have frozen. The buds are airy and I imagine they have a very high resistance to bud rot and my concerns about humidity were entirely pointless! The low density off the buds has contributed to quite a fine collection of trim which is ultimately going to be used for cold water extraction. I do not think I will end up keeping the mother plant that I kept back. While this has been a wonderful plant to grow, having expanded the boundaries of my horticultural knowledge and experience, it is also slightly impractical for my setup. Of course the final decision on the fate of the mother plant is a way off yet, this weed might turn out to be the finest high I've ever had!
