Grand daddy purple and vanilla frosting

Hello GD family, This week has been a much better week. My plants are all doing well now. It took a good 5 days after I removed the net and frame. Early this week I removed everything from my tent and cleaned and vacuumed. Then placed everything back in to tent. The damaged plants have rebounded well. All 4 plants sucked up the water this week. Each plant took 3 gallons of water. Normally they had been taking 2 gallons but I watered 3 times this week. Today is day 52 and the GDP Is getting some darker colors and the vanilla frosting plants have gotten very frosty. Checked the Tricomes today and everything is clear and bright. This Friday will be the start of week 9. The guy I got both of these strains from told me to harvest in week 9 but i won’t be harvesting until my tricomes are about 20% amber. Quick update - last day of week 8. I’m seeing amber on the GDP more than the 3 VF’s but the VF’s are starting to get some color in their tricomes. Today I flushed all four plants today, while they were out of the tent I also rearranged everything and prepared the tent so when I chop on Tuesday of next week I can cut, trim and hang. I moved the AC back into the tent, redid my wood frame so I can move my 16” oscillating fan from the corner to the side easily. Cleaned, vacuumed and wiped all the walls down and hung 6 strings that I will use to hang the plants. Basically I can chop Tuesday morning, pull my light and box if, remove the trays on my floor and my tent should work very well for the drying portion on this harvest. I’m going to maintain 65-68 degrees inside the tent with the RH in the 60% range. If anyone reads this and has any advise from personal experiences when it comes to the drying and curing process I’d love to hear what has and has not worked for you. I’ll update on Tuesday and then I’ll update when things are finished and ready to be smoked. I’m really excited to try these two strains out. A couple weeks ago I had to cut a couple branches off the GDP and 1 branch from the 3 gallon VF. I just threw them in my closet and let them dry. I smoked a little today and the GDP is strong. Two hits from my little bong and I found myself listening to 11-19-97 wolfmans stoned as hell running errands! Can’t wait to try some that taste great with that punch.
