day 72:
After receiving some recommendations, I decided to let her live for another week. I gave her an extra 2 liters of water to help her get through the days I'm away.
day 76:
When I got home yesterday, I noticed that she was suffering a lot from heat and dryness on the days I was away. The majority of the pistils have now turned brown. However, when looking at the trichomes, I noticed that many of them still look rather clear to me, so I decided to try to keep her alive for a few more days. To do this, I removed most of the dried out leaves and gave her another 5 liters of water. I have also reduced the light intensity in the hope of being able to lower the temperature in the growbox a little.
day 77:
Now that she's has had about 24 hours to recover, I tried to remove most of the remaining dry and dead foliage today to minimize the risk of mold and bud rot. However, I think the next time the soil is dry it might be time to harvest. Let me know what you think in the comments.
day 78:
I'm really worried about her today. Many of the sugar leaves “dry out” very quickly and become almost crispy from their tip to stem. I hope this is just the consequence of putting the fertilizer down too early and the resulting nutrient deficiencies and the heat and dryness of the past few days. I'm just wondering whether I can leave her in the dark for another day so that a few last trichomes can develop without causing any major damage, or if I should harvest today...
@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.
