Guerilla Grow 2023

D65. After a couple of weeks, it was time for another visit. We have had SO MUCH rain lately that I didn't bring any compost/sprouted seed tea with me. The last thing she needs right now is more water! In fact, I'm a bit concerned about mold as they have predicted rain for the next ten days or so :/ We are now in week ten, and most other diaries with the same cultivar harvest at week 11, so we should be on the home stretch. It would be disappointing to lose her due to the weather. I managed to fuck up my bike chain on the way out, so it was a bit of a challenge to get there, but I managed, although I now need to replace the chain before the next run. Ugh! Anyway, she looked great when I got there. She has bulked up since last time, and I can now smell her from afar. She has no defined terp profile at this point. No lemon, no banana, no gas, etc. She just smells like weed, if you know what I mean. However, she had a clear pine smell after touching her buds and then smelling the rosin on my fingers. Suitable since her next-door neighbors are a few pine trees :) Just by looking at her, it doesn't seem like she will finish soon. She looks green and healthy, although it looks like the fade has started on a couple of leaves. I brought my loupe to have a closer look at her trichomes, and they were all solid cloudy. I couldn't find any clear, but also no amber. So it's obvious that she isn't finished, but it's also clear that it isn't long to go. I'm now a bit torn about whether to harvest her early to avoid mold or to risk it and give her a while longer to finish. Normally, I would let her stay, but now I'm unsure, considering the weather forecast. I also have a trip coming up in a few weeks and need to have her dried and jarred before I leave. Hmmmmmmm... ------------------------------
