Since we know BB #2 seems very ready to harvest based on trichomes. Sadly I think she got too light-stressed in mid-flower and has therefore yielded a very odd bud structure, which may be fine depending on how she trims but from my standpoint they are a bit rough. BB #1 looks like she could be my most impressive pheno to date. She's got very dense buds on top with lots of trichomes spilling out onto the sugar leaves. She's been a light drinker and has generally been painless to grow for the most part. Her trichomes are perfectly formed, I'm thinking that she can go maybe another week or damn-near close to it. I will do another trichome check in a couple days and if she's ready, I'll go ahead and chop both plants! Thinking BB #2 may be worth curing longer and I'll just update my harvest post once I've had a chance to consume a sample of both after about 30 days of cure!
@Hempface86, Thank you! This is the worst I've had them yet as a newbie, hitting the leaves and soil with diluted hydrogen peroxide daily and will have sticky traps arriving today sometime. That should hopefully help me get a handle of it 😬
Another trichome check for BB #1. She seems very close, but I feel that another week will do some good in allowing any more bud-swell to occur while also letting the trichomes to further ripen. Lower branches thankfully seem to have at least become mostly cloudy but with very little amber. The tops are pretty amber-heavy, a helpful indicator that we are very close. I'm going to raise the light another approximate inch in order to give the tops a break, I'm hoping to avoid a 40-50% amber ratio. I'd guess we are at 15-20% now so that should be easy to avoid. Expect a harvest update next week with more photos and comments added as I sample throughout cure!
