15th week :
~ Before Harvest ~
The plants had not been watered at all for several days - on purpose - to keep them as little moisture as possible during harvest. That's why they look a little withered. Also for this reason it was difficult to tear off the leaves (very soft and fibrous) by hand, so i had to use scissors.
The reduced dose of light (up to 8 hours a day) for the last week over - also did its job, causing faster maturation of the buds. Under a magnifying glass (and even with the naked eye), the resin looks like milk - no longer like frost. A good time to harvest. I'm going to cut off the main stems just above the ground, to dry the plants slowly and whole - then they'll mature even more before they dry out completely.
Tomorrow's the harvest.
@DrJones,
I have a thermo-hygrostat (the one for a power socket). If the humidity is above 55%, then it turns on the heater and fans at higher speeds. This allows me to maintain the right humidity (between 45-55%).
