Found 2 males in the bunch and chopped them. Dried and de-carbed leaves and infused leaves from both plants in 2 cups olive oil just to see what happened. Turned out to be surprisingly potent in salad dressing.

Couple things went wrong and resulted in slow growth and stunted plants. Flowers were VERY slow to develop. Started researching and finding more and more wrong with the setup. 1. Water was not changed frequently enough (every 6 weeks) 2. EC was far too high - result of not changing water but topping off nutrients every week 3. Water was too hot - AC failed, no chiller 4. Plants outgrew space and pressed against the light 5. Not dark at night - no grow tent (bought one when I realized)

Made a bunch of changes to try and save these plants: 1. Bought a tent and installed it over top of shelving unit - no bottom attached (yet). This solved the light at night problem 2. Fixed AC to bring temps down 3. Full changed water (and set schedule to do so every 2 weeks) 4. Added a wire shelf to support plants Overall changes made a big difference, but damage from previous conditions still visible in burnt leaves, poor distribution etc.

Buds continuing to fill out. Trichomes on sugar leaves starting to go amber, but buds still have lots of white pistils. Trying to decide when to harvest. May need to harvest tops separately and wait for lower buds to mature?

Buds have stopped bulking for the most part. Mostly cloudy trichomes, a few amber, a few clear. In order to make room for new plants I think this weekend will be harvest.

Decided to harvest now for a couple reasons. First, I'm seeing amber trichomes on the buds now and the pistils are mostly brown on most buds (especially the larger ones). Second, I noticed a few mealybugs. I sprayed with ethanol/water mix, but don't want to risk those multiplying and ruining the grow. Finally, I started another plant too early, and it's now ready to flower but doesn't have any light. If I harvest these, then it can take their place. Harvest Plan Plant 1 (left) - fresh frozen, bubble, rosin Plant 2 (middle) - dry/cure, flower for big buds, tincture for small buds Plant 3 (right) - fresh frozen, bubble, rosin
