day 58:
Just visual checks. Soil still felt a little moist. The "burned" leaf tips didn't get worse.
day 59:
Watering day. It may be a bit early, but I decided to give her only plain ph regulated water from now. I find it hard estimate the procentual distributation of light/cloudy/brown pistils/trichomes. From checking several buds I'd say about 20-25% of the pistils are brown and 20-30% of the trichomes are cloudy. Additionally removed some small popcorn buds that were freshly developing near the ground and a few inner leaves.
day 60:
Just visual checks and refreshing humidification.
day 61:
Just visual checks and refreshing humidification.
day 62:
Day of watering. Some buds are at about 40-50% brown pistils, while some others are still at about 10%. So I decided to give it at least some nutrients one last time and poured 3 liters of water with fertilizer and 3 liters with ph-down only. I think we are getting closer to the goal.
day 63:
Found some suspicious looking leafs in the center of the plant. By now I don't really now if it is because I lowered nutrients or some major problem. Let me hear what you think.
day 64:
Just visual checks. We're getting closer to the end.
@RavenCookiee, thank you. I have to admit, I'm a little surprised myself that my first run went so well overall so far 😅 Now I just hope she lasts a few more days
@Pjm70, It seems like the combination of biobizz light soil and the biobizz fertilizers is working good for me. She had that nice dark green color for most of the time till now 😉
Heyoo, sehr schöne Pflanzen.
Ich sehe du hattest eine Schimmelproblem, so eine *****. Du könntest die buds direkt trimmen vor dem trocknen, das verringert die Chance auf mehr davon. Die Blätter trocknen wesentlich langsamer als buds, sie enthalten einfach mehr Wasser. Ich krieg das leider auch öfter, in deutschen Sommern ist das nicht so einfach, aber im Winter wirds einfacher 👌
Beste Grüße amigo und Happy Growing🙏👽
@modmyplants, tatsächlich ist das nur eine Pflanze^^ Aber ja, auf den letzten Metern kam es anscheinend zu einem Schimmelproblem. Ich hab nach dem Ernten alles entfernt, was betroffen schien oder sonst irgendwie seltsam aussah. Bisher scheints sich während der Trocknung zum Glück nicht wieder auszubreiten.
I don't know why, but I can't save the week review inside the smoke review, so I'm commenting myself :D
Unfortunately, the drying process went a little too quickly as it was simply too warm and too dry here. After only 6 days, I did the final fine trimming and filled everything into jars (tentatively 1x Terploc Grove Bag). Even without long fermentation, the smoking experience is already very pleasant (no scratchiness, no “artificial” (fertilizer) taste). I am curious to see what flavor nuances will emerge with longer curing.
I am more than satisfied with the result of 88g dry weight from just one plant in my first run. If I hadn't had to remove some more due to the emerging mold, it might have been a few grams more.
