Harvested day 82.
Wet weight 15.1 oz (430.5g)
Dry weight 3.2 oz (87.8g)
Absolutely no issues whatsover from the plant during this first attempt.
After nuclear war, only two things will survive.....
Cockroaches and Royal Gorilla pheno's.
Day 83
Currently drying, will update before Robert Smith turns up....
Day 87 5 days in, all trimmed and back in to dry.
Temp 18c RH 50%
Will raise humidity to 62% for last 5 days and add fan.
Day 92 Girls pruned to similar size buds and in jars to cure.
Will wait a few days until the residual moisture dissipates then weigh for the final time.
Lemony tones coming off her already.
Pleased as was getting worried during drying. Think I'll try a dry trim on the two Lemon Kix I have in atm (see my other diary)
Sampled some this afternoom and eveb before a cure its smooth enough to smoke, citrusy in profile and burns a nice clean white ash.
Looking forward to seeing the flavour/texture evolve over next few weeks before smoke report.
I'm not the most patient person, this part is extremely difficult.
Day 97 Final weight dried and a week cured is 87.8g (3.1oz)
Extremely pleased with the yield.
Smoke report
I've got to be honest, it's not the stinky monster I was expecting but its made up for it in other areas.
Really smooth on the inhale, lemony forest taste, no horrible aftertaste.
No coughing, which is a novelty!
For my first run, I'm v happy.
I feel the excessive heat may have microwaved some of the terps but we live and we learn.
Not long until my Auto Lemon Kix are ready, hopefully got the temp under control in time for them.....
Hello brothers & sisters.
First time grower...
I've inspected trics all over, and as expected, they are more mature in certain areas.
Was thinking of partially harvesting?
Is it as simple as chopping the mature buds and leaving the rest for another 1-2weeks?
Thanks
I have tried this many times in the past, but have come to the conclusion that once it is ready, chop the lot and take it as it comes.
I found that once you remove large amounts of the plant and leave behind other bits to "finish off", the plant goes into shock of having the major parts removed already, the metabolism slows remarkably and you end up waiting weeks for the rest to eventually and slowly mature. They are never as good as the first harvest, possibly due to the prolonged and drawn out maturation, the slowed metabolism or just the complete shock of the previous removal freaking the plant out, but I suspect all three things play a combined part in producing second rate buds from the second pick. If 90-95% of your plant is great, the 5-10% that isn't doesn't really matter. The smaller bits can be used for edibles and/or combined with your trim, saved for a rainy day or just given away to a friend in need. Even if it isn't prime, I don't know many people that say no to free buds, even if they are a bit small or "not prime". You never know, the universe is strange, most often that friend you give free buds to will one day come around with a bud or two and say, "remember when you gave me....."
Hope this helps,.............

@WATP55, oh same man it took me 2 weeks to figure out how to keep my tent under 29 consistently. I had to but in exhaust filter at the bottom as well as the top and have only one intake hole and now it's settled at 25 consistantly in the day with my lights running at 100%
@indigold, Oh man, I've been battling a serious heatwave because of these lights. Got it at 29c, just, everything open...she seems to not mind the heat too much but dont want to push my beginners luck! ha
