Starting to do extremely light lollipopping only for leaves blocking budsites or budsites that will not get enough light Day 35: #2 is starting to smell of limonene. #1 and #3 are like 3-5 days behind #2 in terms of flowering. #3 is very slow and the runt of the bunch. Hoping for 3-5 more weeks of flowering before I cut them down. Will likely cut #2 a few days before the others.

Day 56: all three are bulking up into the final weeks of flower Still looking to harvest on or around Halloween, but it may be staggered for each plant starting with #2, which is furthest along.

Day 63: no much to say - just waiting to chop them at 5-10% amber trichomes Dry tent is set up a 70F and 60% humidity. Pay-tience will pay on my first harvest. Day 65: trichomes are very cloudy on all three phenotypes

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
7/10

Phenotype #1 had a natural fade that I used to dictate the harvest day, which was day 67 when ~77% cloudy trichomes and ~10% amber & ~13% clear. Phenotype #2 was the largest in appearance and did not fade much. I decided to withhold water as a final LST before chopping on day 70 upon the first appearance of 5% amber trichomes. I anticipate this one to have the best citrus smell of the three, but only a smoke test can confirm this after curing. Phenotype #3 was the runt of the three and dried up fast. I withheld water along with #2 as a final LST. Both had an increase in sugarleaf trichomes on days 67-69. Decent trichomes despite the tiny size.

Crashoveritecommenteda year ago
@McGrowin,do you think that purple steams are from stress not from nutrients? Good luck bro ✨✌️💚

@Crashoverite, 🙏 got some purple stems from it but overall I think it will have been worth the stress.
