The final week starts! Woohoo! Not much longer to go now, and I turned down the light a bit to let her ripen in these last few days.

So close now. Technically, she is ready for the chop, but I'll wait a few days until the Epsilon lady is done drying so that I can take her out of the drying tent before I chop and hang the Gorilla girl.
The only thing I'm doing is dropping the light intensity each day. My "bro-science" reason is that the lower intensity may cause fewer terpenes to be burnt off in the last few days. I have no idea if it is correct or not. Please HMU if anyone has research on this :)

Boom! Touchdown!!! Chop day was finally here so I removed the largest fan leaves before cutting her down and hanging her whole in the drying tent, where she will stay for the next 14-16 days.

Be prepared for a unique flavorsplosion. A lot of their new F1's are packed with caryophyllene and myrcene, giving them a nice peppery flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with the sour blueberry pepper flavor of Medusa, and I hear others were surprised at the peppery kick of a couple others. I like these unique flavors that can't be depicted by a fruit.
