Getting really close now, maybe another week for the Bubba Kush #1 and the White Widow's. Possibly 1.5-2 weeks for the Big Body Gelati.
They are all drinking a lot less water now, maximum 1 gallon before getting runoff now.
Fade is really starting to show now on the WW. Some leaves turning yellow and others turning purple.
They got their last watering mixed with the nutrients/feed. Now they will only get plain water and maybe one time or so of water with 1 tsp of the dried coconut water per gallon depending on how much longer they go.
When checking trichomes, the BK #1 has almost all cloudy/milky colored and maybe a few amber mixed in. The WW's both have definitive amber showing and the rest cloudy/milky. Will probably chop these 2 this week. Trying to wait until the BK #2 that was chopped almost 2 weeks ago to be fully dry before chopping anything else, but will more than likely chop some time this week regardless.
The BK #2 that has been drying for almost 2 weeks is really close to being ready to trim. Some of the smaller and midsize outer branches have began to have that clear stem snap but some other small/mid size ones as well as the bigger stems are still bending. Definitely close though as they barely bend and are on the verge of being able to cleanly snap. Guessing a few more days which would line up perfectly with harvesting the White Widows.
The BBG has no amber trichomes yet but they are all cloudy/milky. They should be starting to turn in this next week or so. This is the furthest behind in terms of trichome color.
Getting really close to full harvest and should be ready to trim the Bubba Kush #2 that was harvested almost 2 weeks ago in a few days. The fact that it has made it 2 weeks is really encouraging for what the quality should turn out to be for the final product. Definitely going to wait until the larger branches/stems cleanly snap or break before pulling it out of the drying closet to trim. Super close now though.
Thanks for following along and interacting with the grow!!
@BudBoutique, Same! Wasn't able to train them as much as I'd like due to being unexpectedly out of town quite a bit during this run so curious how theyll turn out as they are almost too tall at this point lol.
You clearly know what you're doing, but I've never seen black or grey mycelium. You sure that mass of "good mycelium" isn't dead, a fruiting body, or a mold? Myc doesn't really lift above the substrate until its trying to fruit, and we wouldn't call the fruiting body myc.
Any chance at ID?
Also, damn, we really are in sync. I grew NLA last, WW now. Happily Minnesota organic grow!
@JazzBerries, I haven't seen it like that either and it didn't even occur that it could have been something besides mycelium and possibly be a mold but you could be right. I was out of town for a week right after this last update and that little ball in the photo has disappeared and there is no sign of it anymore. Plants are thriving still and no signs of mold or anything bad spreading so that is relieving. It definitely was more in the mulch layer versus being in the soil when it was visible though. Going to keep monitoring but it has disappeared at least for now. If it returns or I start seeing the plant getting "sick" I will update more.
Wow that is quite the coincidence lol! Thanks for the comment, and pointing out the mycelium/mold in the photo. Also happy growing to you as well! Will definitely follow along and wish you nothing but positive results to a fellow MN grower!
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! I really enjoy the cover crop too. Not only does it provide a nice visual aesthetic, it helps out in a number of other areas as well. Thanks again for following along!
@CannabisFarmerGuyDude, I love the idea and philosophy begind the living soil thing! I just need to learn my basics first, but its perfect to follow people along who work with it to learn. π I hope all will go well! Best of luck buddy!π±π
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! Appreciate the love and you following along! First time going full "Living Soil" and using Build A Soil products so really excited to see how things turn out and share with you all.
