Hey Honey Let's Go Outdoors

After 26 weeks of constant care harvest is almost here. I can't believe the end is near. Plants are in their final week of flowering. All fan leaves are yellow and are starting to fall off. Due to sudden temperature drop last week, down to 2°C at night, something interesting started to happen. One plant has developed purple colour on its leaves and it looks beautiful. I was always wondering how can I achieve that colour that see on pictures of other growers. It's quite a feeling when you achieve something that you only saw in pictures and dreamed about it. Now I have it on my balcony. 😎 Strange this is that other plant has retained its green colour but its leaves are all yellow, more so than the purple one. Must be some difference in genetics or something. When you compare trichomes on purple plant with the other one, trichomes on purple plant are almost there, they are all cloudy. I'm planning to give that plant couple of days to ripen a bit more. The other plants seems like it's stalling. There are still clear trichomes visible and tops of trichomes are not swollen yet. They still look like spikes. I'm probably gonna leave this plant few more days longer than purple one to ripen a bit more. In all that anticipation how the plant tastes like, how it kicks, I took few small buds of the branch. I cut them up with scissors in small pieces so it looked like grind, placed them on hard paper and on heat radiator. I dried them for few hours until that green smell disappeared. In the end, smell was great, smoke was unbelievably smooth, no coughs and it packs a nice punch. This week in all amazement started with temperatures of 20-22°C and nights are around 10-12°C. It looks like nature was doing me a favour and gave me one more week of warm weather and sunshine. Too bad that plants had only 5h of direct sunlight from 13:00 till sunset 18:00h. Keep in mind that plants are still in day 4 of this week by the time of writing, so 3 more days till week is over. I hope plants will finish by the end of the week. Today 14.10.2019. I'm stopping with molasses and Flawless Finish and will let the plants drink up what's left in the soil. Update: It's 16.10.2019, 17:25 and I decided to put the plants in dark for 48h after heavy rain started and humidity was over 98%. Trichomes on purple plant are almost all cloudy. The other plant is really stalling and there are still some clear trichomes. Ripening is slowed due to short periods of sunlight. Couple of days more would be perfect but weather is too shifty and 6 months of work would go to waste and I don't want to risk it. Buds really got dense and heavy and bud rot could easily develop in this condition. I'll see you next week when I'll be harvesting the plants.
