Do-Si-Dos - Eighth Farm

Hello Diary, It was the last week of growing Do Si Dos on my little farm. As can be seen in the photos, the leaves have started to turn yellow, the trichomes are mostly milky and here and there which brown and visually the plant looks ripe for harvest. 65th day from the first day of vegetation, a total of 74 days since they sprouted. The last week passed in anticipation, every two days I took samples from the flowers and looked under a microscope. Along with Do Si Dos on the Farm was one Purple Queen plant that I thought would ripen earlier, but it turned out I harvested them the same day. I didn’t photograph Do Si Dos #2, the plant turned completely yellow and the leaves turned brown and it wasn’t worth the effort to harass and photograph. The last watering was 5 days before harvest so she drank all the water available to her. This will speed up the drying process. For the first time I am drying the plants in a herb dryer sent to me by friends from RQS, which will help me a lot in drying. The dimensions are ideal for my needs, in my 120 cm X 60 cm grow box, two dryers fit next to each other. The conditions on the farm are more than excellent, the humidity is about 40% while the temperature is about 25 degrees. Here's how it looked last week. 30/10/2021 - Day 58. Watering. As in the last 10 days, the watering is with clean water. I only regulate p.H at 6.3. With 7 liters of water, I water all three plants on the farm evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.1 degrees and 38% humidity. 02/11/2021 - Day 61. The last watering. p.H I lowered to 6.2 and now 7 liters of water I watered all three plants. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26 degrees and 41% humidity. 06/11/2021 - Day 65. Harvest. Although a few more days later, the harvest came unexpectedly early. I thought it would take at least another week, but under the microscope, here and there I see a few brown trichomes so it’s time to cut. Mostly after the last photo shoot, I removed all the larger leaves so I have less to do with trimming after drying. I cut branch by branch and put it in a herb dryer which I put in a grow box, turned off the lights and left to dry. Since the whole plant does not dry out in one piece, I believe it will be ready for trimming in about 10 days. That’s all there is to my experience with growing Do Si Dos. Now the most important part remains, and that is the quality of the smoke :). Given the appearance of the flowers and especially the scent, I am really looking forward to that testing. See you soon.
