The girls are at end of life stage. I think by the weekend they are going to be ready for chop, but i'll let the trichomes be the judge. So far there are only a few ambers, a lot of cloudy and some clear still so they will get a few more days and be re-inspected.
Last time i grew this strain they finished i think in 63 days. This go around they are going to finish in approx. 50 days. I manipulated that with a recently discovered technique that literally accelerates your flower time by a week to 10 days.
It's always bitter sweet come harvest time. Growing them is fun and all that, but when they are finished you have that god awful trim to contend with. I hate trimming, i always have. Always will. I have a bud bowl trimmer but it's not really very good for making beautifully trimmed weed. Plus it knocks off a shitload of trichomes.
No more nutrients for these girls. Only Green Plant's Rezin. Sigh, i guess i better get my scissors all alcoholed up and clean and get my drying rack and hanging screen and humidifier prepped.
Another run in the books...
THURSDAY MARCH 2, 2024
Last watering. Rezin added only and hard water, pH to 5.94
From now on the light will be on 24 hrs a day for 2 or 3 days. Then they will be harvested in stages as the lower buds are still filling out and trichomes are still clear. Top half of the plants are done. Bottom half's may need an additional week. One thing's for sure, with 48 to 72 hrs constant light, and then back to 12/12, the lower half is gonna be stressed the fuck out! Lets hope it equates to more resin output!
Begin Harvest Saturday! This was a nice run! More or less trouble free. That's always nice.

I lied! haha. They are done and dying, but i want more cloudly tri's so they will get their usual watering with Rezin, and maybe by Wednesday i'll be satisfied with the inspection. I want this stuff to be rip roaring smoke.
Your plants look great. I see you’re ph drifting. I did as well.
Using tap, my ph would drift up over time, so I’d set it a little low 5.7 and let it drift to 6.15. I run my coco at 5.8-5.9 successfully.
Once I switched to RO water my drift went away. Tip- You can use your dehumidifier water as ro water… and mitigate some drift.
@Todzilla, I was told that using dehumidifier water was a bad idea because of the air born pathogens that get in it. I was also under the impression that using RO water caused more pH Drift.
