The harvest of the first medusa F1 hybrid at day 93 after germination.
The trichomes were starting to turn amber. I probably could have let her ripen for a bit longer.
I am amazed how fat she has gotten, the weight of the flower is too heavy for the branches. Way to go RQS for breeding such a fast growing autoflower.
She is already in the drying tent for 5 days now at a temperature of 19 °C with a humidity of around 55-60%. I want a nice and slow drying process to preserve the terpenes and cannabinoïds. This will take about 2 weeks in my opinion, when the branches start to give a clean snapping sound when bending.
I will make a harvest blog once the flowers are dried and I have weighed the buds for the yield.
This lady only received some LST and a little defoliation throughout the entire grow. I also dont flush the plant at the end since this myth was debunked by a scientific article. A flush is only needed if you overfed the plant. Dr bruce bugbee also confirmed this.
The dry tent smells of hay/grass, which is logical because the plant still has a lot of chlorophyll inside.
Untill the harvest blog!
Check my other Medusa F1's for the progress of the experiment. I hope to give other people advice in growing these F1 hybrids.
@WhiteEdge, they look amazing and are super compact. Not super frosty but very natural. You can harvest them around day 70-75, they are also done by then, but for me, I like bigger yields and more ripe trichomes.
@WhiteEdge, I think indeed i soon need to get a good marshydro light or something like that. I noticed when left longer it starts producing new calyxes on top of the flowersites with new white pistils. I will mention this in next weeks medusa 2/5 diary.
@nonick123, super cool! Love to hear you live in Spain. Really good weather and sunlight is always the best. I will follow your diary! Thanks for the kind words
@Densko, veo que los llevaste a 94 días!
Yo haré una mezcla de indoor (2 primeras semanas) y después outdoor que en el este de España es benévolo hasta finales de septiembre
Voy a tomar notas de tu diario! :-)
