Dec 8 (day 99): Start of week 15. Looking huge and needed to add 2 new sticks to support some of the colas struggling with their own weight! Got quite a lot of white pistils still appearing and asked a grow question. Some articles say this is normal, some say it may be normal for the strain and some say its too much heat/light. As always its difficult to know which it is, but reading articles on 'fox tailing' (which I think is too much heat/light at late flowering stage), it says that the white pistils are OK if they are all over the buds, rather than in one area (which they are). Wanda has a bit of bud bleaching though (but she is an inch taller), so I've raised the light a few inches higher and turned it down to 80%. This has also dropped the temperature in the tent to 24C, so hopefully all good. I think they will still get enough light at this stage, but I've still only been using my 400W light for a few weeks and getting used to the levels. I am going to go by the trichomes rather than the pistils which are looking mostly cloudy. More ambers, but probably 5% overall at a guess? Will give it to the end of the week and check at her next watering. Continuing with the flush, so gave 9L of PH balanced water. Dec 9 (day 100): All good. Dec 10 (day 101): All good, no water required yet and pot is still heavy. Checked trichomes and they are still ok to go a few more days I'd say. More amber trichomes appearing, but still not masses overall so will wait a little longer. Dec 11 (day 102): All good, still doesn't need water yet. Dec 12 (day 103): Needs watering today. Brought her upstairs and checked her trichomes. She's ready for harvest and I don't want to let her go any longer. I would say she is 20%+ amber trichomes now. Cut her branches down and put them in the trim bin. She is so different to Ophelia, in that she just has lots of big colas so it was really easy to just trim those down. The wet trim took 3 bloody hours 😡 Didn't want to be there for another 3 hours with Wanda, so will harvest her tomorrow. Took the light down in the tent and put the net up for the drying. Obviously I cant have the light on if I am drying her in the same tent as Wanda, who hasn't been harvested yet. Put her into the net and turned the extractor up a bit. Weighed her and I have 500g. I read that you lose approximately 70% of the weight when drying (thats a bloody shame 😩), so am hoping to end up with around 150g (5OZ) when she is dry. Thats quite a step up from the 1OZ I got off Ophelia. Dec 13 (day 104): All good and drying nicely. Already losing a lot of moisture and size. Dec 14 (day 105): End of week 15. Both girls harvested and drying in the tent. I will continue to post updates on this page until she has finished curing and then I will add the final 'Harvest' page. Dec 15 (day 106): Drying nicely and crisping up already! Continuing to go down into the cellar and swish them about each day. With the nets, you need to turn the buds regularly so they don't get flat on one side πŸ˜‚ Dec 21 (day 112): She’s dry now and ready for trimming and curing. I am going to put Orla and Wanda into glass jars rather than Grove Bags like their sisters. I want to make a comparison to see if there is any difference. It’s more of a pain to have to burp the jars, but as I have to check on the new seedlings daily, I am in the cellar anyway. Dry weight was 103 grams, which is a HUGE improvement on Ophelia. Will update the harvest page in 4 weeks when she is cured and I have had my first smoke πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈπŸ˜€πŸ˜Ž

Any idea why I am getting lots of new white pistols? Thought I was near ready to harvest.

It seems like your tricomes are mostly cloudy but you’re the person in the best position to make that visual inspection. There’s a big distinction between clear and cloudy tricomes. When they’re milky you’ve reached peak potency. Once they start turning amber potency is declining but flavour profiles will increase during this time. I personally like to pick my bud when there’s around 20-30 percent amber tricomes. Anyway there’s really no right or wrong. You’ve got a nice harvest coming your way. Good job πŸ€™

Nice grow. Close up pics are just beautiful. I'm doing my first grow now too. Nice to see everything went well. They say you're supposed to screw the first grow but then the Internet came and some people learned to read πŸ˜‚. Have fun with future grows. May they wipe old-world crap right from face of the Earth 🌍. ✌️

Hola, me puedes decir por favor cΓ³mo usas Microbes de Biobizz? Se agrega antes o despuΓ©s de regular el PH? DespuΓ©s de agregar microbes se sube mucho el PH y la EC, es normal?

@420DeepGrow, Hi there. I add them first, then balance the PH afterwards. You are right though, the PH and EC jump up when you add the microbes, its pretty much the only time when I have to add PH down so its normal in my experience. As you get to the later weeks and the nutrients are higher, it evens out a bit and you don't see so much of a jump.

The advantage of the air pot holes =) Before using those I was making holes in the classic pot with a driller. Good luck and big buds!!!
