The trichomes are between 5-10% Amber now, so I think I will harvest in two days. I have been adding some supplement blue light, and some UVB light for about 90 minutes every other day. Some of these buds are absolutely stupid frosty. I will do my best to upload some good pictures soon.

Tomorrow is harvest day. The trichome pictures that I have shown do not give an idea of the percentage of amber trichomes in most of the buds. I took pictures from a lower bud that is not as developed, but the top buds are definitely 20%-30% amber, which is exactly what I am looking for. Please excuse the horrible bud pictures, because I only have my shitty $100 Android camera with no clip-on macro lens, and I had problems taking a picture without the buds looking almost totally white, because all the trichomes reflect the light back, lol! These are by far the most frosty buds I have ever seen in real life, much less ever grown. Jelly Rancher and Pineapple Muffin are some absolutely killer genetics from Humboldt Seed Co., which I would recommend to anyone looking for killer, stable genetics.

I cut all the plants and hung them up whole in my tent. The current temperature is 64 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% humidity. judging by the total weight of the plants, I should get almost 7 ounces of really nice, dense flowers. I am very happy how this grow ended up turning out, especially since my tent got way over 90 degrees one day when I accidently turned my AC Infinity fan off before leaving for work, which stunted some of my plants. I am also very pleased with the Green Planet Hydro fuel line, Real Growers Recharge, and Laird Superfoods Coconut water with Aquamin. I will add the harvest week updated once the dry is complete.
@Budders, nice man that mimosa x orange punch has really good bag appeal from what I've seen. Looks like this run is gonna be mostly Humboldt Seed Co nice!!
Hi@TurboNico, I actually plan to run Pistachio with Nutter Budder, Stoopid Fruits, Vanilla Cream Pie, Mimosa x Orange Punch, and maybe some Baby Backs from Cannarado, which is a cross of GMO x Bubblegum Biscotti. I will grow Old Growth OG on my run after that with Blueberry Cupcakes, Raspberry Parfet, Vanilla Frosting, and Twins, which is another Cannarado genetic, which is Sour Double x Birthday Cake.
@L_Choppa, I believe in making sure the plants have all the nutrients they need, especially during the last part of flower. My PPM for my next feeding is about 620 PPM. I don't believe in giving just straight water during the last phase of flower, as you are depriving the plants of much needed nutrients when they need it the most. My flowers are stupid frosty now. I have been introducing supplemental blue light and UVB light during this last week or so of flower. I will upload more pics soon.
What's up @L_Choppa? I will be checking the trichomes tomorrow, but I am thinking I will be harvesting within a week. I prefer to have almost 30% trichomes amber before I harvest, especially for these two strains. I am feeding them their flush feeding tomorrow, Green Planet Rezin and Liquid Weight, along with Terpinator, Power Si and my secret additive, Laird Superfood's Coconut water powder with Mango and Pineapple, with Aquamin. All three fruits have 19 amino acids, and the Aquamin has Calcium and Magnesium, along with 72 trace minerals and elements.
