Good week of growth.
The untrained plant is pretty much ready trich and ppm wise. I will chop it down this weekend. I am gonna do a little experiment where i only chop the topmost mature buds and I'm gonna try and get the lower larfy buds to finish up a but more. We'll see. I've done this with a photo plant and it worked so I'll try with this auto.
The "lst" plant is looking pretty good too. It doesn't seem to be as far along with the amber trichs and the ppms are not quite low enough to my liking. My plan is one more week of flush to get the ppm's down and then she's gonna go for 48dark before the chop. I've never tried the dark phase before harvest. I feel like my grows haven't turned out too stinky or tasty so I want to try this out firsthand.
Thanks for tuning in! Any constructive criticisms are most welcome.
@Matagal, well I actually had kind of a tough time with it. I let em go too dry beforehand(to avoid rot) and got some wilt. This made trimming a pain of course everything was soft and sensitive. I also found some rot inside my biggest buds. I don't fully blame the dark( I tried to push my plant too far it was showing signs of decay, like dead dead leaves and dead preflower calyx,but I wanted to push the buds further) I do I think the dark enabled the problem to progress worse. It wasn't the right choice in my situation.
The result though aside from those circumstantial issues with smell and such is that I think it might have worked. I don't know if that much dark time was necessary maybe just a morning chop after the night dark cycle. Now on potency and stuff yet I'm not sure because it's still curing I've only sampled it. For me it was mostly stinkier and stuff when we trimmed while it was fresher, my girl was going off about how much stinkier it was. Both ways taste and smell good when broken up and smoked. when it's dry the flavors kind of locked in.
So I'll try it again because if it helps great but I won't do it unless I have a healthy plant to do it with.
Sorry I'm so all over the place with this comment but that was my experience. :)
@mrHazeCake, Thanks!! I appreciate it ππ I really like the "lst" one, it really has more purple in the well developed buds. I hope some of that purple survives trimming off all of the yellow, haha.
@DEVS_GENETICS, Thanks Bro! ππ I appreciate it. Everyone I've shared it with is loving it, myself included haha. I'm hoping my current round will turn out even better. I've got a whole closet going of the POTG auto. Thnx for the positive vibes. π
Nice, I'm growing some as we speak. I got a clones and honestly it was dank even in veg state.. I'm looking forward to this strain, glad to see one completed and with great review makes me more excited lol.
Happy growing
