Growing cannabis has been a physical, mental and spiritual journey for me. This entire grow has been an experiment, one where I have discovered a new hobby and which has rekindled my interest in gardening.
I got a Carson MicroBrite handheld microscope but I haven't figured out how to stick it to my iphone lens so you'll have to take my word on the trichomes. Some are clear, some milky with a few amber. I harvested a Platinum Purple bud on 8/4, and the rest of it got chopped today because it was a nice mix of cloudy & amber.
The leaves are yellowing, some have died off. I did another mild flush on Friday, running off about 10%. It's been hot AF and I've raised the humidity a bit with the swamp cooler.
Some rose and purple colors have graced the buds on Platinum Purple. I have the smell so far up my nose right now, I feel stoned.
If you like music, here's my eclectic playlist of tunes to play in the spirit of cultivation.

@TheFairyBudMother, great stuff i'd love to start a worm farm just not yet... i think building your soil is the way to go.. but till then... i mix coco fiber with my canna soil 1:4 then add the scoops of mycorrhizae needed and voila my gurlz drink like champions!! :) hopefully it'll work for others!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I rewatched the videos. That guy repeats himself a lot! But it makes more sense now. It's very overwhelming to take in all the little details of cannabis cultivation when you're just starting.
Thanks for your help. I can't wait to grow again but it will have to wait about a month. In the meantime if I have time and energy, I may cook my own soil mix, and I am definitely starting a worm farm.
Fairy bud mother where have you been my whole life? I've been searching for my bud mother lol jkjk but on a real note I like your style, your buds look beautiful! Smoke the bomb stay calm and grow on chika 😉
