On day 169 I did the final flush on both ladies. I went through about 6 gallons per lady. The final runoff measured at around 400 PPM. Right around where I wanted to be. In my previous grows I did not flush as thoroughly, I'll see if I can even tell any difference and if it's worth it.
I started the 48 hour period of darkness of day 171 (flower for 72 days).
I chopped and hung the buds on day 173. I expect it to take about 7 days for the stems to start snapping when bent.
Wanda weighed in at 659 grams on harvest day with stems and leaves. Wilma weighed in at 731 grams on harvest day with stems and leaves. I am estimating I'll end up harvesting and jarring over 15% of the bud wet weight. So around 200 grams. I ended up trimming all the large fan leaves before I hung the flowers to dry. My hands got very sticky while just handling the stems and cutting leaves.
Will update once the buds are dry and I've tried some of the bud. Can't wait!
@Victor0989,
Yep, I placed mine in the substrate on Monday and today (Friday) they are just starting to peak above the soil. I'm expecting them to be about an inch by Sunday or so.
