JiggleBudz Day 23 - Tied her down over the weekend. The thickness of her stem made it a difficult job to not snap whilst bending. Seems to have adjusted nicely today to the LST. Day 24 - Adjusted LST. Day 27 - Adjusted LST. The entire bag is now covered by bush. Day 28 - The end of the week. Growing stronger and thick!

Was pretty dry yesterday but looking back to normal this morning. I defoliated a bit around the bottom third of the plant.

JiggleBudz This week we started to give her only water. Very few new pistils are showing and mostly cloudy trichomes. We are in the final stretch now - thinking 4 to 7 days.

1/16

JiggleBudz Day 151 - I cut off all the fan leaves today and chopped her down at the base. Then I tied some green garden wire around the base and hung her upside down in the tent. There's a small fan blowing into the ground and my carbon filter is running. The current humidity is 63% with a temperature of 19 C. Day 154 - Humidity in the tent is 52% this morning with a temperature of 15.5 C. Cold nights in my area makes the mornings a bit colder than the rest of the day. The average during the day is 19.5 C. I can see the plant is losing moisture as the larger leaves have started closing in around the flower sites. Drying Day 6 - Most of the leaves have now closed up and dehydrated. The small branches are still a bit bendy/moist so I'm hold off a few more days. So far I'm happy with the slow progress of the dry. Drying day 10 - She's nice and crispy on the outsides and squishy on the insides. It's time for the trim! The trim has been completed. Total harvest: 107g
