Flushing-stage for plant A - preparing for Harvest πππ
2 days ago i did the first flush with plant A.
I'm checking the trichomes of plant A every day with the microscope.
There are approx. 80 % milky now, 15 % are still clear and approx. 5 % are amber.
This plant will be harvested end of this week - in approx. 5-7 days.
So i will flush plant A tomorrow again, probably once more in 4 days.
Plant B has a surprising view through the microscope: The buds are not fully developed, all pistils are white, only a few pistils are brown now.
But the trichomes are 80 % milky, 20 % clear! π
No amber trichomes so far. I'm wondering, why the majority of the trichomes are already milky. It's not clear, when i will harvest plant B.
Should be 1 or 2 weeks later than plant A, but could be also at the same time. I will decide this after i have harvested the first plant (A)
========================
May-28th - Day 82 - Plant A ready for Harvestππππ
Have flushed Plant A two days ago again - this was the 2nd flush for plant A.
The EC-measurement of the drain was below 0.2 - so flushing of Plant A should be finished now.
The leaves changes to yellow and brown colour - it's harvest time for plant A π
Trichomes: approx. 80% milky, 10 % clear, 10 % amber
I will harvest tomorrow or after tomorrow. Will check tomorrow again.
Plant B will stay for 1 or 2 weeks. The buds are not fully developed yet, most of the pistils are still white.
But the leaves starting to change to yellow colour and the trichomes are approx. 70 % milky, 15% clear and there are already approx. 3-5 % amber. So she's starting very early to change the trichomes to the amber colour. I'm wondering about that.
Will see.π
Next step: harvesting plant A in 1-2 days ππ
======================
Update - May-30th - Day 84
Did an part harvest on plant A yesterday.
The buds above were mostly finished and had 10-15% amber trichomes. But the buds below the upper buds are not ready with the trichomes and i decided to make an part harvest. I have cut off 7 buds and they are drying now.
Will cut off the next buds when they are finished with their blooming.
This is my first part harvest now. I' m trying to do this way of harvesting for the first time.
