Day 81: Everything looks brilliant! So brilliant in fact that I decided to start their final stress phase. I’ll probably won’t let them die because the lower layer could use another week of development, but they are now scheduled for 2 days of continuous full light with minimal pure water supply.
Day 83: After about 1.5 days of full sunlight, buds have even developed more fresh green growth … And microscope says majority of main buds is not fully "there" yet; many trichomes that want to get amber not completely filled. So I think I will extend their time a bit, give them some rest today and a bit of water (just with a drop of Vitamins and Hesi Enzymes). And maybe another stress day in 2 or 3 days. It definitely helped their development.
Day 84: The watering system was set a bit low, so when I saw today there were drying signs I checked the buds under microscope again and yes! – I think that’s good for a first harvest. So let’s proceed …
I'm right there with ya, a few more weeks. I usually chop day 77-85. Autos usually require 50-60 days of flowering and then you add the veg time (21-35 days usually)
@Dabking, thank you! Yes, I see, we’re equal up to the height. :D
Just saw some buds sparkle like being wet – this looks very much like a great harvest. Yours too.
I can’t insist on experience, but from my limited knowledge I agree breeder’s times, although mostly declared as seed-to-harvest, should rather be read as blooming time. Which is quite ok for me. Really would like to see them in full colors before being cut.
Pi + sensors + custom exhaust fans?! Holy shit, that sounds awesome dude. I'm not sure why this will be your last grow but with that kind of engineering it is a shame to lose you. Good luck yo.
@Waveform, I mean, you don't want to be a bad neighbor. You pretty much have to stick it out for that Mimosa Cookies or it'd be rude. 😏 And if there is another plant on the way it's probably a good idea to get a few more seeds. I mean the tent is up anyways, right?
About a decade ago I was homebrewing in my garage and had a similar situation with a neighbor. Once you see the magic, you get the itch. Abracadabra, yo.
@NastyNatesJungle, Maybe I’ll continue, but with lower priority. I must confess I infected a neighbour who used to grow aeons ago. In fact he escalated quite quickly, from "let me just have one plant on the shelf and watch her grow by sunlight" to a 1 x 1 x 2 m tent with double the lighting I got in about 2 weeks, and for my support he is pre-growing a Mimosa Cookies for me, so I guess the title lies. Thanks a lot in any case!
Looks amazing.
Happy growing growmie!
I love what I’m seeing, keep on doing your thing!
