I clipped a lower bud, and dried it in a little oven, 50 degrees for 15 minutes made enough for a good bong hit. WTF @Fast_Buds this is some heavy hitting bud! It is not even cured, and I am blown away by the effects!! 😎 d. many dried leaves, I pluck them as they dry up, the plant is already releasing them

Day 92 - monster shrubbery - 12 hour light schedule @ 50% intensity both lights. a. the buds are growing even more and the smell is intense b. The bud's leaves are shedding, I am pulling many sugar leaves to keep for hash c. she has slowed down drinking alot to only 3L over night, this might be the last week Day 93 - trichomes are 90% white a. having hard time finding many clears or many ambers, she is in peak THC production at the moment b. wonderful production this plant has made! it is very heavy c. took her out of the tent for the first time, defoliated many old fan leaves d. buds are turning blue! the 5.5 PH flush water is working! Day 94 - looking great! a. the final white pistils are trurning brown, we will have no white pistils when I harvest this b. the resin production is still so high, the buds are just caked in milky white trichomes Day 95 - growing well, still drinking water a. just have a few more pistils that need to turn red/brown, a few whites Day 96 - maturing nicely a. going the distance, this plant will not stop creating resin! b. trichomes are mostly milky white Day 97 - buds are looking really frosty! a. tomorrow will be last day of flush, day 99-101 will be lights off without any water in the tank, will stress her hard Day 98 - last feeding/flushing day and last light day a. will not add any more water to the DWC, will pump out what is in there b. she will get one more day of light, tomorrow starts the 3 days of darkness!

Day 99 - Day 1/3 darkness a. she is in darkness for 3 days without any water b. the stress is making more resin glands appear all over the plant Day 100 - Day 2/3 darkness a. very frosty Day 101 - Day 3/3 darkness complete - Drying day 1 a. cut her down, hung the whole plant to dry.. tied the branches back and used the net to provide space between these monster colas. I think drying the whole plant makes for a better final product. I have tested both ways, and will from now on only hang the entire plant to dry. there must be alot of life left in the trunk because the resin glands and trichomes have grown more. b. she will dry in 23 degrees 45% humidity until she is ready c. I trimmed a side bud from one of the smaller branches, dried it in the oven 40 degrees only for 25 minutes, just enough to get a good dust of fire bud.. Smoked it in a bong, and my goodness, this is some killer weed. Facemelter! d. I harvested the plant in the morning on the 3rd day of rest in the dark. It really increased the effects and the amount of resin on the buds. Day 102 - drying well - Drying Day 2 a. I spread out the branches so airflow would be great! Day 103 - drying perfectly - Drying Day 3 a. we are about 40% dry... humidity is 45% and temps are 22 in the box. b.. some of the branches settle as they dry so I readjust to make sure there is enough air flow space. I have the two small fans in the bottom pointing sideways NOT blowing on the weed. Just for good air movement, extraction is always on. Day 104 - no complaints - Drying Day 4 a. she is drying nicely... humidity 45% and temps are 22 in the box, same as usual b. the leaf stems are all brittle, some of the stems are starting to become dry c. cut off a small bud in the front to examine its dryness, I think we have a few more days. Day 105 - drying very well - Drying Day 5 a. Humidity stays at 45-50% and temps are 21/22/23 in the box

Day 106 - Harvest the plant! Gelato smells AMAZING! a. manicured 3 loads of buds from the plant, the sugar leaves fell right off. I saved all of them for some lovely hashish! b. the buds smell incredible, very dense and fat - the calyxes are saturated in resin.
