After week 16 of this grow my 'Fruity Terps'-plants are ready to harvest. I check the trichome-heads with a handheld-microscope (magnification of 150, available in every growshop) and see that all have turned milky and some start to turn amber already. That means PEAK-THC (=all trichome-heads have turned milky) has been reached inside the trichome and it is time to harvest. If I would let them go longer now and continue to flower them, more of the trichome heads will turn amber as the THC breaks down again to other cannabinoids, and the effect of the cannabis will get more sedative when smoked. For some chronic pain patients this is what they want from their medicine, therefore it is advisable for them to let the weed flower than recommended.
The aroma coming out of the tent is STRONG and DELICIOUSLY FRUITY! π The fade from the flush has turned the bigger fan-leaves yellow or purple now, this shows the plant is using her own sugars now and has used up all nutrients saved inside her. That is exactly what I want, since a well flushed plant ensures a clean, smooth smoke when the buds are dried. This is my MEDICINE and I use it against my chranic back-pain from hernia, therefore I have to make sure I can consume my medicine as pure and clean as possible.
All my plants have grown big buds, which are glistening with TRICHOMES, the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs did an OUTSTANDING JOB! In combination with the BIO NOVA nutrients, all plants THRIVED throughout the cycle and were able to grow healthy to their full potential.
Like your germination tecnique, everything neatly lined up! π§π
I have tried the Super Lemon Haze directly in the GreenhouseSeeds coffeshop in Amsterdam, it's a good flavour four your fruit salat, that's for sure π
How about the flower times of these 7 genetics, are they all about the same?
@Fayah_Burn, Yeah, I have smoked it in the Greenhouse Coffeeshop as well, it was delicious. ππ All genetics need about 9 weeks of flowering (from 8 to 10) and should do fine next to each other. π
@Trichome_threshold, Hi, Trichome_treshold! No, I do not work at SANlight. I just tested a lot of LED-fixtures and made the best experience with SANlight. Aloha, GrownWithLED ππ
@GODSGIFT_2005_JM, Mahalo π for your kind words, man. They are much appreciated! ππI simply do what I love (=growing my own medicine) with all my passion.
@grownwithled, THIS IS A GREAT DIARY with AWESOME PICS! π GREAT work as always, I can see you love what you do! π The plants are frosty as hell...CONGRATS!
