Dear Diary,
As Week 19 progresses, meticulous monitoring of trichomes and plant conditions are being done.
One plant of another strain has been harvested in the tent, so attention is focused on the remaining two WC plants as they near their harvest window. Some adjustments were also made to environmental conditions to ensure a successful final stage of growth.

⏰ Day 130
Provided straight tap water for all the plants.
Trichome observations:
WC #3: 80% cloudy, 20% clear.
WC #1: 80% cloudy, 20% clear.
⏰ Day 131
Watered all the plants with straight tap water.
Noticed that most lower canopy pistils are browning, and due to reduced light penetration, removed most big fan leaves from both WCs.
⏰ Day 132
Provided straight tap water for all the plants.
⏰ Day 133
Watered the WCs with tap water and harvested the other strain in the tent..
Trichome observations:
WC #3: 90% cloudy, 10% clear.
WC #1: 90% cloudy, 10% clear.
⏰ Day 134
All plants received straight tap water.
Following the removal of the other strain, temperatures slightly increased to 24-25°C with lights on.
The drying environment maintained a relative humidity (RH) of 63-65% and a temperature of 21-22°C.
⏰ Day 135 (Day 70 Flower)
Watered all the plants with straight tap water.
Attempted to lower temperatures by a degree or two to return to the 22-23°C range with lights on. This adjustment would also help maintain a cooler drying environment, currently at around 19-20°C.
⏰ Day 136
Provided tap water for the girls.
Trichome observations:
WC #3: 95% cloudy, 5% amber.
WC #1: 90% cloudy, 5% amber, 5% clear.
Fantastic work! I'm a newbee. One question. Day 139 reads:- WC #3: 95% cloudy, 4% amber, 1% clear. And Day 142:- 99% cloudy - so would that be 1% amber? Thanks and well done.
@Xilpa, thanks man! This was just my 2nd grow as well so I would put myself in the newbee category as well to be fair haha
But yeah so by day 142, they were about 99% cloudy with 1% amber.
I do understand that it can sound a bit weird as I had 4% amber in a previous day, but it’s as the previous days I was just looking at the tops, and for the last check I gave a estimate more looking across the entire plant. So the very tops were probably at 5-10% amber, but at the bottom it was basically 0, so averaged out to about 99% cloudy.
I otherwise just focus on getting rid of almost all the clear, and I have a tolerance for about 10-15% max of amber, so I cut when either:
1. Less than 1% clear or
2. Over 90% cloudly and 10-15% amber.
