11/13/24 - Day 56 (out of 70-75) of flower. Buds getting denser, filling out. Trichomes ramping up. There isn't a small bud on em. This mainline setup worked really well for me because I wasted no growth on worthless bud sites. Each top was selected for growth in the first weeks of flower and all below a certain node line got pinched when they were tiny. I'll definitely add a week or so to veg on my next because I am not fully utilizing the height of the room by far. After scouring all the harvests of this strain on this site, I will say I believe a lot of people chopped too soon, and looks like where I am at now. Per Barney's this sativa dominant strain should still have at least 2 more full weeks left, and I intend on letting it go until then. At this point I still have green pistils everywhere. The buds are noticeably wider and denser every day. This being my 4th run I feel way less anxiety and impatience than I used to. Full jars from previous runs definitely helps. On my first run it was like watching paint dry, and also eagerness to apply what I learned on the next run. This time around I am happy to just feed and admire every day. Planning on two more weeks of feeding before at least 5 days of rinsing. Plants are super happy with no signs of poor health. This will be my greatest performance yet.
11/18/24 - I am glad I over obsess for once. After looking at Barney's data sheet and counting my days I realized I am on day 61... and Barney's calls for 60-65. I think my initial calculation put harvest day on Thanksgiving, but I mistakenly thought Thanksgiving was this week instead of next. When I realized Thanksgiving wasn't until the 28th, in my mind I never adjusted my harvest date to a week prior. Long story short, no more ferts and starting my rinsing immediately. I haven't even checked the tricks with my microscope yet. I will have a look later today for sure.
