2023 Summer-Fall Auto's

Harvested the bottom half of GSC today and got 39.0g wet. Chekced the trichomes and they were mostly milky, despite a lot of pistols still being white. Also the plant started to show slight signs of stress such as some of the sugar leaves turning yellow. The first time I harvested it was 7 weeks ago when I got about 60g wet (about 13g dry) but I am almost certain that was harvested too early. For this second harvest, the buds were pleasantly resinous, but my trimming shears seemed "powdery" rather than sticky. Hopefully the plant didn't herm and produce pollen. I didn't notice any pollen sacks, but I suppose one or two could have been hidden somewhere or something. Or maybe my basil plant that was also in the grow tent started to produce pollen? I also didn't notice any seeds during harvest either, although after the drying period I'll be able to better determine that after the calyxes have dried out some. Before harvesting, I cut it off from light and water for about 24 hours. Don't know whether doing that actually promoted resin production or not, but it didn't seem to hurt. This was the last plant for this grow, so all my harvesting is now finished! In total dry weight, I ended up with 26.4g that was probably harvested too early, 69.1g that I feel really confident about was harvested at the right time, and 30.3g (projected) that was either at the right time or slightly too late. Hoping to be able to skip a year now, since I typically only smoke a gram or less per week, and enjoy the fruits of my labor until 2025. Whatever I don't smoke after a year or a year and a half I plan on just using to make cannacaps. By then there will probably be seeds that are consistently producing plants with 30%+ THC!
