CBD Lemon Auto - Day 67
The harvest window has opened up, trichomes are mostly milky (see pictures). Really want to wait till I see a decent amount of amber this time, in saying that though I'm probably going to harvest this coming weekend regardless (maybe), it'll have it at day 71/72 - which is the longest I've let this strain go. Breeder recommends harvesting before any amber trichomes appear, as they will apparently degrade CBD. So maybe 90% milky 10% amber, I really just want to see how far I can take it, its slowing down on adding bulk though. I'd like to see the lower buds develop a bit. I've done a bunch of trimming this week, to try and get more light to lower stuff. Gave it a big dose of nutrients (2.5ml of each bloom) at the start/middle of the week... even though I had decided to stop nutes a week ago... thought it could use some. Not overly worried about harsh smoke as most of it will be used to make FECO.
Critical XXL Auto - Day 62
Slowly starting to bulk up and trichomes are also slowly developing. Gave it a bit of a haircut. That's about all there is to say.
I now have 3 Critical XXL Auto seedlings started.
The weather is starting to heat up, so in turn the tent is too - got up to 25.5degrees celcius. Not sure how summer is gonna go, will be my first using HID.
@Ned_Schneebly, cool :) yeah tbh I don't think i'll grow that strain again, tried 3 times, 2 had mutations (fasciated) and all 3 were poor yields. Keen to try a different 1:1 strain though, the effects are quite nice. I did manage to get 1-1.2ml of FECO from 8.5grams though, which isn't a bad result. Good luck with your grow :)
