Soil Test: Epsilon F1 & Royal Gorilla

D64. I found some more aphids on the Epsilon lady, which I vacuumed right off her. It was only a few, and I still couldn't find any on the gorilla girl. Hopefully, the lacewing larvae will arrive tomorrow. The Epsilon lady is almost done, and she has started her senescence, which is noticeable in a few leaves. The Gorilla girl on the other hand probably has at least two-three weeks to go. ------------------------------ D67. I didn't check on the girls for several days as I had guests. The plants got a bit thirsty but were otherwise fine. I put in 300 lacewing larvae in the tent a few hours ago to deal with the aphids, although I didn't spot any. The Epsilon lady is very close to the end. She is frosty, and I'm starting to see a fade in her leaves, but I want to give the lacewings a few days to deal with the aphids before the chop. The Gorilla girl is slowly bulking up, but has a way to go still. ------------------------------ D70. Chop day! The Epsilon lady showed me that she was done. The buds were getting frosty, her leaves were senescing into many beautiful colors, and the trichomes were at a reasonable level. A quick snip removed the most prominent fan leaves and then hung her whole in the drying tent. She has a lovely grapefruit aroma, which I hope she will retain after drying and curing. Absolutely delicious! I guess the gorilla girl still has another couple of weeks, meaning she will move into the drying tent as the Epsilon lady is done. ------------------------------
