Week 16 - Day 103
08/16: Harvested Aaliyah on 08/15, Day 102 from soil and Day of flowering. After one week of pure water for Aaliyah, some of the trichomes have turned amber. I decided to harvest about 3/4 of the plant. Some of the lower buds didnβt receive enough light during the grow, so Iβm hoping they can grow a little more before I bring the whole plant down. I also removed some of the dead and very young growth that was coming up. I didnβt have another spot to hang the buds because of the smell, so I tied them over the other plants. Now that she is mostly harvested, the smell has increased. I now have Annie on the side so she is getting less direct light. She already took some bleaching on her main colas. Alexis still has about a week left. Iβll check her trichomes before the next watering to see if I should start flushing.
08/18: Aaliyahβs harvested buds were getting close to being dry, so I decided to start cleaning up some of the sugar leaves. The smaller, less developed buds got chopped up and set aside for some dry ice hash. Since she was on the left side of the tent, a lot of her colas did not receive enough direct light. I hung up a few of the nicer looking ones that Iβm keeping as flower to finish drying.
[General notes: I still donβt have a scale to take note of the exact wet weight, but Iβll make sure to have one for the dry weight. And since all three plants are of the same strain, Iβm going to wait till the last one is chopped up before posting the full harvesting results.]
