Organic Gnome Automatics Blackstrap Auto

Blackstrap Auto Day 89 | Flower Day 50 73° | 44% RH | 650 µmols | 42 DLI Man, three months down already, I thought these would be chopped by now. I was able to get the 3x3 environment dialed in really well using the dehu from the 4x8 and the new 3K sqft unit set at 40% in the open basement. I scored a rando killer deal on Amazon and this thing is definitely going to be a game changer for me in the warmer seasons. The 3K unit pulled a ton of moisture out of the air the first few days and RH has been holding steady in the high 30s in the basement. Easy enough to keep the tent humidity a few points higher.  Methinks these things are gonna be a huge pain when it comes time to trim, so I've been defoliating 3-5 fan/large sugar leaves each day to try and strip some of the excess before the wet trim. #2 has finally started to darken up and get a bit fatter. She's developed some real bad canoeing the past couple weeks and I thought it might have been the light intensity. I don't see any other symptoms of light burn and dimming them didn't have any effect. Chalking it up to the overfeeding. I checked the trichomes on #1. Overall, looking mostly cloudy w/ a few clear and amber heads, depending on where I scoped. When in doubt, "2 more weeks" right 😝 I've backed myself into a corner for harvest because I don't have a separate space to dry the plants. I'll have to take #1 as far as I can while waiting for #2 to catch up, which seems to be 2-3 weeks behind. These things already smell gassy as hell, so having one that goes a bit longer and delivers more couch lock is perfectly fine by me. I was hoping these would be good to try on my cheap rosin press, but they're just not as frosty as I was hoping for. I know that's not the hallmark sign of good oil production, so I'm keeping expectations low. I definitely don't have a refined extraction process yet so the mids, larf and trim have been voluntold they're in the hopper for rosin deployment.
