Snow White

Harvest time! Chopped the plants down yesterday. I just separated each at the base, then hung them upside down in the tent. I also had the lights out for the last 24 hours. Now just the fan and the carbon filter extractor are running. The problem is I can’t fully escape the hot weather that is coming up. Just not set up in the UK to need to cool a house with air conditioning. It is 20 deg right now with ~60% RH. But in 5 days time it will be a much dryer 35 deg. So I’m drying the plants whole to try and keep that under control. The two big stretchy plants started to go purple as the remaining phosphorus was used up. Most of the plants had leaves going yellow. Most of them are around the full cloudy trichome stage, with up to 30% amber on some nuges. The smell is amazing. Lots of mango scent at this stage. We continue to sample the first batch. We had started with the smaller popcorn buds, as they were the first to dry. The experience had been really nice, not too heavy. Not the strongest smoke we’ve had, but totally viable. This week I broke into the bigger cola nugs as they had dried and cured for a few weeks. Damn. I got so stoned I giggled like a little girl. I’ll post a full harvest entry next week, with final weights, once they are dried trimmed and ready to be cured. I’m expecting just over 5oz from this batch. That would put me at ~7oz in total, ~1oz per plant. ~2oz per square foot. Then I’m straight on to the next batch! I still have 11 more ILGM WWA seeds and a lot of ideas about how to do the next run. I’m hooked!
