76 / 42 Days - Beginning a new week… PM - I just don’t see much left for this plant to do but ripen up. Find amber in just about any location, but not much. Some are glassy / mostly clear.
77 / 43 Days - Keeping close eye on triches. Any significant increase in amber and I’ll start giving ~6.5 pH water. I see yield/sq ft. vastly improving on the ensuing runs. Lower nugs are dense and low leaf to bud ratio.
78 / 44 Days - Scoping daily. Same scattered amber in any locale, albeit few. Hesitating on flush, since I don’t have tons of notes as with ggxww. Already near lower edge based on canopy’s behaviour. Lots of glass in PM. Think I’ll try a later point in harvest window. Decidedly >50%, picking a # out of the hat. Want to see a bit more amber, bit less glass before flush.
79 / 45 Days - Still plenty of glass; no flush starting, yet. A little frostier, but don’t see much changing day-to-day. Usually fast and furious at end, once it starts turning amber. PM not much changing today.
80 / 46 Days - Still plenty of glass… More cloudy triches than before, but still early. This may not get a normal flush, but not too concerned as I am closer to the lower level of nutes than the upper-range based on the canopy’s slight paling over time - no glossy leaves, no major clawing or blemishes as on BBM.
81 / 47 Days - Top colas are ripe, but too much glass elsewhere. Want to see more smokey trichomes before ceasing fertilization. (trying to stop saying the word “flush”.. gives the wrong impression and gives validity where none exists at the moment)
82 / 48 Days - Well, I can’t believe the trichomes haven’t begun to ripen in most locations. Top colas in some spots show quite a bit of amber, but most likely a slight overexposure is the cause there since there is so much glass elsewhere, yet also near top. These things tend to happen quickly, so when it shows a bit more amber, I’ll start a ~3 day flush (coco), hopefully. The clone run will be well-planned unlike this 4x different strain run.
______________________________
It’ll be a full 49 nights at time of posting and pictures will be taken shortly before that. Another good week. Canopy continues slow decline, but top is fairly green. The ‘next’ run will be dialed in better with nutes, but this plant was mostly fine throughout.
After Sunday morning scope, Flush starting this upcoming week. Fed this AM, but will verify in PM as to state of trichomes.
Man it´s incredible the way you weigh the drying buds every day. I personally never thought of that and never saw anyone do it, thanks for that! Also, the genetics seem pretty good. Peace.
