8th Week Report 05/12/19 - 12/12/19
In photos CMXL is on the left and LSD on the right
05/12/19
Didn't changed reservoir as is more or less half capacity full. I plan to change it on the beginning of the next week(12/12/19).
09/12/19
Added a small and cheap diy dehumidifier kit built with a Peltier module (search on Amazon Peltier dehumidifier)
10/12/19
CMXL got a light defoliation where I removed bigger fan leaves covering lower bud sites
11/12/19
Even if they look healthy I added a small Humidity and Temperature sensor to be sure humidity doesn't get too high and let the mold form. However you will get an average humidity level the next week after some tests/readings.

I plan to change reservoir solution and increase its strength to 90% tonight, but diary will be updated with new values with the next week ;)
For tomorrow (13/12/12) is also planned a stronger defoliation to CMXL before she gets in full flower, I hope it helps to achieve a better light penetration into the canopy and also it could give an extra stretch to the plant since I noticed that even after a small defoliation she stretches a little faster for a while.
As you can see from photos/videos LSD is just doing good and probably she won't need extra training. Her sugar leaves are getting frosty as ice ;)

See you guys ;)
@CRK00, If there are many parts that receive less light and have fewer 'ready' trichomes, then you can leave those part longer to harvest.
Personally, I only harvest once.
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, I'm already checking trichomes and more than 80% is cloudy, are starting to appear now just a couple of Amber trichomes.
Now I'm doing a soft flush and probably in 2/3 days I'll harvest her.
Do you suggest to leave lower growth after harvest and try to give her a couple more weeks to have a second harvest?
Hands up for Cream Mandarine ๐๐
@CRK00, Hi buddy!
The final flowering time, can vary by many factors, one of them and very important the phenotype.
Our CMXL is a very special strain that everyone loves. We're glad to hear that you do too. :)
Remember that to know when to harvest, you must be guided by the status of the trichomes (not the pistils).
Sweet smokes!

@@WisdomCulture420, thanks mate! ๐
Today I checked the growth after some days and updated the diary ;)
I'm satisfied and I hope it keeps on going like that! ๐
