~ 13th week - HARVEST ~ The plants lasted another week. I did as the Dutch Passion guy suggested and plucked all the larger leaves. Although Cinderellas are not impressive in size, their buds are - big, thick, massive, densely packed, dripping with resin. They have a lilac shade, and in the right lighting they shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. Probably the best time to harvest. On a full moon, they were cut off just above the ground and hung whole in a secluded, dark, well-ventilated room at 18°C. They will hang there until they dry - probably by the end of the month. Then i'll weigh, smoke, and review.

The plants dried in the dark for over a month - at 15°C and 55% humidity. During this time, they have obtained excellent consistency and parameters without need of extra curing - ready to smoke or store. After drying, almost all green disappeared from the plants - shades of beige and red dominated and the blinding glow of trichomes. I divided each plant into two parts - better and best. The best - consisted of buds coming from the central main cola and only the top buds of the side branches. And it will be stuff for my daily use. Everything else has been turned into hashish. PPOG#2 was intended for hashish in its entirety - due to the unusually large amount of trichomes. Cinderella #1 yielded a total of 79g of goods: 32g best quality and 47g stuff for hash (i got 10g of high quality hashish from this amount). Cinderella #2 yielded a total of 62g of goods: 27g best quality and 35g stuff for hash (i got 8g of high quality hashish from this amount). Plants were easy to grow and totally hassle-free. Very strong & compact plants. The buds are impressive in size - big, thick, massive, densely packed, dripping with resin. When smoked, marijuana has an earthy-birch smell and taste, slightly sour. It has a pleasantly stimulating effect at first. But after the second puff, it already slows down the thoughts a bit, and after the third one, it puts you into deep meditation. Strong stuff, although not as i expected. Nevertheless i like it. It was very pleasant to cultivate and even more to consume. I haven't tried hashish yet - i will only when it's aged enough, which is not sooner than in about 3 months. But i already know it's going to be excellent stuff :)
