==> Lights set to 60% power for last 10 days
Harvested the next morning (day 66 flower) before lights on! πππππππππ
She turned purple/grey nearly all over :D ππππππππ
The buds are gorgeous with swollen calyxes and grey/purple/green colors! ππ
The resin seems to have ripened pretty uniformly, with most resin glands being cloudy and a few transparent :D π
===>>>>> π Her resin is very oily! When I touch the buds it nearly feels wet from the resin ππππ <<<<===
***** HARVESTED *****
Dry method: ........................ entire plant upside down in 18-19c 55%rh
Dry time: ............................... 10-11 days
Dry weight: ........................... 55g π³
Yield per square meter: ... 248g/m^2 π³
Current rh in pots: ............. 68%rh (aiming for 60-63%)
==> Took a bong hit of her to test, already the effect is stronger than average, lasted well beyond 3 hours and had hints of body-balance effects kind of like edibles! Quality over quantity on this phenotype π
************************
===============> Will update with pics and most importantly the smoke test, rosin press results & review AFTER 6-8 WEEKS OF CURE :D
=>> She has great aromas that are sweet, sour π a bit fruity and skunky and spicy π it is difficult to describe π and will definitely evolve during the drying and cure π <<=
@Slurpy_Terpy,
Cheers thanks, yeah I'm also looking at boosting terps/oils, geranyl related metabolism and caproic and sebacic acid stuff. Oh and kaurenoic acid, and ent-kaurene.
Like just today, I made a flower(like 40 different flowers)/leaf tea, coz I experiment a lot. I'll be giving that to some plants (I've done similar stuff many times and it's been quite good). Another I once made that seemed to be quite effective was like a weird mulberry + milk sort of fermentation. Unfortunately it's winter though (which I mostly use for pollinating things), but yeah I still get indications.
I get stupid terps in soil though (supremely dense dark clay).
But I mean, I wouldn't actually suggest people do that sort of thing, unless they feel like experimenting and knowing the potential of damaged plants, etc.
@sir_isO,
Thanks mate!
Im saving up for uvb to boost the terpenes for next grow! I still don't have as many terpenes as I would like - I added the botanicare pure blend tea this grow, it helped but I want the strongest most characteristic smell possible :D
Good luck on your grows :D
@PeppaWutz,
Thanks for the support!
Thats my n1 priority :D
For now I am trying to preserve the terps... Im at 5 days drying currently 17.5c 60%rh with the entire plants untrimmed upside down, trying to reach 10-14 days dry time before curing π
@BigDickBazuso,
Hey thanks for your kind words!
The buds are currently at 17 days cure, 63%rh feeling sticky and spongy I still burp nearly every day because the buds are very sticky/oily and flexible π
@AccyStoner25,
Hey m8 thanks for the kind words!
So all I do is top and remove minor branches and remove fan leaves (which also end up blocking light for other plants), the knuckles slowly form after topping, I didn't do any intense bending or 'cracking' of the branches to get the knuckles.
