Mephisto -Aunt Ginny's Elixir

Week #11-May 5 to May 11 5/5-Last feeding today. Ambers have turned or are turning amber across all the major branches. The higher branches with the most amber. Tomorrow I'll start flushing with Ph balanced RO water and look to harvest at the end of the week around day 77. I'm hoping for a yield of 3-4 ounces and looking forward to seeing how this one smokes. 5/6-Did the first flush this morning and runoff was Ph 5.2/EC 1.75/1,200 ppm. The main cola was dominating the rest of the plant and getting quite amber and ready to be harvested. So this afternoon I chopped it down and put it in the Cool/Cure box to start drying. This allowed me to drop the lights much lower and get much more direct light to the rest of the plant which I'll look to take down in 5-6 days. I just started flushing so I guess this will wind up being a test of what/how much effect minimal flushing will have on taste and smoke. 5/7-Using the controlled drying environment of the Cannatrol Cool Cure box makes it very easy to better understand the dry cycle. I measured the first cut after harvest and then again after 24 hours to chart the rate of evaporation. After 24 hours in the dry box the bud had lost 31% of its weight. I'll continue to measure each day. 5/8-Flushed with 6.0 Ph RO water to EC .80 runoff. Leaves are definitely starting to turn yellow. Trichomes are getting amber but not quite there yet. Wet weight for harvested bud is 29.4 grams after 48 hours or 49% of wet weight after 1st cut. 5/11-First cut is almost dry. I've not watered in 3 days now and the plant is turning yellow and more of the buds are turning amber. I'll harvest the rest of the plant over the next 2-3 days.
