As you can see, there is a slight light burn. I raised the lamp higher. Currently, using 1 ESL 75w 6400K and 1 ESL 50w 2400K
The plant is now in a tube made of light-reflective material
This week, the plant is already in the pot. I deliberately wanted to grow a small plant, so the soil volume in the pot is small: 6 liters. By the end of the week, I decided to apply LST. To do this, I trimmed the edges of the pot, made holes in it, stretched a string to which I attached the plant's branches.
I also removed quite a few leaves from the plant.
And finally, the tent with LED lights has arrived!
Now I see that the upper buds are ready for harvest. However, closer to the soil, there are many buds that are not yet ripe. Is it worth doing a partial harvest and letting all the buds ripen, or should I harvest them all at once, or just discard them?
You should not harvest yet.
I have the impression that you're looking at the trichomes on the leaves and not in the flowers.
As for a partial harvest, don't bother with that, the plant will be too stressed by the pruning and you'll be wasting energy on buds that are too small.
However, for your next crop, remember to prune all the little flowers at the bottom of the plant that won't give a great yield. This will allow the plant to concentrate its energy on the big flowers at the top.
The second week of flush has ended! I carefully examined the trichomes on the buds themselves, and they are now about 20% amber. I want to get the maximum active effect from this plant, so I decided to harvest at this stage.
I decided to trim buds before drying and leave the buds on their branches. I started harvesting when I noticed that 80% of the trichomes are amber. I want to achieve a more active reather then couchlock effect from these buds. Exactly 2 weeks of flushing and I decided to harvest. How wrong I was when I thought it would take about an hour. It took 4 hours! I wore gloves and a mask because the smell was very strong. I improvised lighting for the workspace using the plant's lights and a phone stand since the light in my room is very weak. I removed all fan leaves and leaves with less than 75% sugar. Initially tried using scissors, but then realized that tearing leaves with fingers was faster. Drying in a dark box with a rotating fan. The temperature is around 24°C, humidity 30%. Ahead are 8-14 days of drying and 5-10 days of curing. Since the buds are on branches, I haven't weighed them yet. Targeting 50-60g of dry yield. Once all processes are complete, I will share the results. I grew it more out of curiosity, aiming for a good harvest and quality. I don't know the taste and effects yet, but I can say that this autoflower strain, combined with this small and economical set of nutrients, allowed me to achieve a very good harvest with minimal effort, in my opinion.
