Green Gelato Auto RQS (First Grow)

Day 64 (26/07): I was planning on harvesting today both Plant A and R but upon closer inspection there were amber trichomes mainly on the sugar leaves but not that much on the actual bud. So I will water them today and wait a few more days under the soil is dry for them to become a bit more ready with the trichomes. I first actually watered with the normal 1.5L but then did not see any run off at all so decided to water with a total of 2L of plain water for each girl. Day 65 (27/07): Today when checking the trichomes there are still about 10% of amber trichomes on the plants overall. I would say the concentration of amber trichomes is quite similar in both plants at the moment so I think they should be ready to harvest together. I will need to check them closer to the time though to make the final decision. Day 66 (28/07): Today I saw a SEED in plant A, it was just sticking out from one of the buds! I’ve read that seeding can be induced by stress or over-matureness. They have definitely suffered through a lot of stress with high temperatures and unstable humidity before the humidifier so that is possible. It is also possible that plant A has over-matured and I have left it too long because it has looked ready for harvest. I have just been waiting on the trichomes to get more amber but I was planning on harvesting it tomorrow anyway. Plant R now has more amber on its sugar leaves but still same on the buds. Day 67 (29/07): Today is the big day to harvest one of the girls, Plant A! I checked the trichomes this morning and I was happy with how many ambers there were and how plump the buds were. I will be including the pictures and some videos on next week’s harvest week alongside Plant R so it’s not confusing. The process went well and I wet trimmed it and froze the sugar leaves as we will be making bubble hash from those. I tried to trim off as many leaves as I could but it was taking a while so I left some tiny ones in so it helps the buds not dry too fast as well. I have put the buds to dry in a box just outside the tent with some holes to make sure that it is ventilated. When I put the buds in the temperature was 24.8C and humidity was at 47%. For plant R I think it still needs one or two days because the amber trichomes are not quite there yet. Day 68 (30/07): Happy days, Plant R was harvested today so now both of the girls are finally drying. We did the same process as with the first one and have now put them both into the same box to dry as our third girl is still finishing up in the tent. I guess this marks the last day of the diary and we are not even fully finished with the week. Plant A’s wet weight was 150g with the sticks and plant R was 120g, so should be a great overall harvest when dried and cured. We will now be letting the girls dry for a few days and I will be posting the pictures of the harvest and the final weight before we put them away to cure. I am making sure to maintain the humidity inside the box between 45-55% and have put a dehumidifier to control this as well. Hopefully nothing bad happens during the drying!
