week 2 of flush for this plant and now the lights are out for 48 hours of darkness before the chop chop. The second tester nug looks really good and the first is dried and tasty. Sweet berry notes and skunky. Great pheno. Most leaves are turning in the front half of the plant. The back half is slightly behind. A lot of purple coming through in the leaves and some buds have purple trichomes. I tried to get a pic of that, but it didn’t really come through. The trichomes are mostly cloudy with about 10% amber. I wanted this plant to go a little longer, but with 5 months in veg and coming up on 11 weeks in flower, the time has come. Most of the flowering period was low temp/humidity which may have affected yield. This experiment of flowering with the T5 (8 bulb, 4 ft) is considered a success as the yield is higher than expected. And, the flavor of these buds is up there with her sister plant that flowered under LED. Overall, a fun grow that taught me a lot. I will chop this lady tomorrow and hang the whole plant upside down until dried. Then, I will buck it down and make bubble hash with most of the yield. I will update with pics during the process.
@TeamQuality420,
I use trellis netting and zip tie it to the tent poles. You can pull it tight and drop it down if necessary.
It is inexpensive and effective!
