Dr. Grinspoon by TOTEM

Howdy ladies and gentlemen! Last week I was wondering why many leaves were yellowing. Well, I tried feeding the Doc for the last time (in reality twice in a row), and now she’s TOTALLY revitalized. She was actually cannibalizing herself, and this was happening def too early in my opinion. I think we can finally start talking about harvest! Trichs are like 95% cloudy and 5% amber. That's a good starting point to forecast the harvest time. But I'm still very uncertain about the look of those flowers. As you can see, the "small balls" are there, and slowly getting (just a little) "bigger". And I need to say I hate all those white pistils and strange looking buds on the top of each flower. I mean, those are not even buds, but just strange green parts with white pistils coming out of them! That’s not helping me because it seems like she needs some more time to develop those areas that never changed in the last 6-7 weeks! I uploaded some trichomes photos where you can see the few amber ones. Sorry for the bad quality, but I got only this shitty usb microscope bought on Amazon for the same purpose last year. So....... I say harvest @ week 16 of flowering (or week 23 of the diary). I'll be checking trichomes every day in order to track their changes, and that will be for sure my only safe feedback for the harvest day selection. Day 142: Feed @ 0.5ml/L in 9L of tap water (PH6.5). Runoff: 654PPMs, PH6.5. Day 146: Feed @ 0.5ml/L in 9L of tap water (PH6.5). Runoff: 721PPMs, PH6.6. A little preview for you: when I find a big discrepancy between trichomes status and flowers appearance, I usually do a potency test with one of the smallest buds. Well, that’s what I did, on day 147 (last day of this week), by drying a small sample in a oven at 120C for 20 minutes. The final dried bud was shitty looking and grass tasting, but the effect, even if THC-a didn't convert properly in active THC, was REALLY good. Like more of a very happy indica relaxed feeling, than a heady psychedelic high as expected for a strain like this. The high didn't last long (1:30h), but it was a really fun experience. I think I can then wait a little more before harvesting. Stay tuned for (possibly) the last real and complete update, next week!
