RQS Gelato

Flowering week 7, day 4 I have been busy lately and had other priorities so neglected my grow diary. But I didn't neglect my plant and am happy to say everything is still going to plan, so let me update now flowering is nearing the end. My experiment of growing 16 plants on less than 1 square meter seemed crazy, but all plants have developed nice bud. One thing I wanted to find out was if I could harvest more from 16 small plants instead of 4 plants topped into 16 main buds. By the looks I wouldn't say 16 individual plants grew more bud. Some plants will harvest 50g, others only 20. In total I think the outcome will be more or less the same. For this round I want to wait to harvest until most of the trichomes have turned amber. I'm waiting for a coat of brown sugar crystal buds before harvesting because I'd like to have a heavier couch lock feeling than my previous harvest, which I might've harvested after spotting the first brown trichomes. I'm planning on starting flushing after flowering week 8. I don't have to worry to postpone harvest till the last moment cause I have a dehumidifier running 24/7, keeping humidity at a healthy and safe 40%. Very important! There's less good news from the smaller grow tent I'm growing a few leftover plants in. It doesn't have a dehumidifier. Autumn is setting in, and we've had weeks of very wet weather. Buds are growing very big and dense, but too high humidity cost half of the buds due to top rot. I removed all the cola's that showed rot. Some were completely lost, others were half way gone. Either way they were harvested weeks too soon and without flushing, so while still hoping I can save the remaining buds I consider this tent a total loss. if this was my only source of weed for coming winter I would be devastated. But this was just a bonus, I'm focussing on my large tent's harvest and I know nothing more can go wrong with that. Soon I will have a nice stash of 4 strains. I will finally be able to taste the famous Sherbet, Green Gelato, Cookies Gelato and Wedding Crasher. So looking forward to this!
