After week 16 of this grow my 'Fruity Terps'-plants are ready to harvest. I check the trichome-heads with a handheld-microscope (magnification of 150, available in every growshop) and see that all have turned milky and some start to turn amber already. That means PEAK-THC (=all trichome-heads have turned milky) has been reached inside the trichome and it is time to harvest. If I would let them go longer now and continue to flower them, more of the trichome heads will turn amber as the THC breaks down again to other cannabinoids, and the effect of the cannabis will get more sedative when smoked. For some chronic pain patients this is what they want from their medicine, therefore it is advisable for them to let the weed flower than recommended. The aroma coming out of the tent is STRONG and DELICIOUSLY FRUITY! 😍 The fade from the flush has turned the bigger fan-leaves yellow or purple now, this shows the plant is using her own sugars now and has used up all nutrients saved inside her. That is exactly what I want, since a well flushed plant ensures a clean, smooth smoke when the buds are dried. This is my MEDICINE and I use it against my chranic back-pain from hernia, therefore I have to make sure I can consume my medicine as pure and clean as possible. All my plants have grown big buds, which are glistening with TRICHOMES, the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs did an OUTSTANDING JOB! In combination with the BIO NOVA nutrients, all plants THRIVED throughout the cycle and were able to grow healthy to their full potential.

This week was fully focused on correcting salt buildup and preparing a clean, controlled finish, with quality and terpene preservation as the main priorities. 🔹 Key irrigations – Final Flush was applied with real 30–40% runoff, successfully reducing EC levels in the root zone. – Follow-up irrigation with plain water only (pH 6.2) confirmed a consistent EC drop across all pots. – Plants are now in controlled senescence, with no signs of active nutrient lockout. 🔹 Runoff data Runoff EC is now within safe ranges (≈1.5–3.0 mS depending on plant), confirming the flush worked and roots are in end-of-cycle mode rather than aggressive uptake. 🔹 Environment & light – PPFD adjusted (~700–780 µmol/m²/s) – Stable temperatures – Humidity tightly controlled to protect dense colas Everything dialed in to preserve resin and avoid unnecessary stress. 🔹 Plant status Flowers are fully formed, trichomes mostly cloudy with early amber showing, final structure locked in. At this stage we’re no longer chasing bulk, but ripeness and internal clean-up. 📌 Plan Final days with minimal intervention, observing real pot weight and plant response. Harvest window is very close and right on target. ➡️ Next post will be harvest day and the start of drying. Thanks to everyone following the project and sharing feedback — every cycle is a step forward. 🌱💪

There are images through an electronic microscope, I'm sorry, I can't keep a stable image, it's quite difficult, anyway, from what's there, how long do you professionals think...

This plant has been a literal joy to grow thing was so stress free didn't give me any problems at all and grew Soo fast and vigorously I was so impressed with how much she yielded indoor highest one plant yield indoor yet and the bud is absolutely blasted with trics I harvested little early because me and my wife like a little less than 50 percent amber seems to be little less couch locking no matter the strain but anyways great grow amazing plant and couldn't have asked for more !! Definitely one of my favorites

Flip mode squad in the house! LSD and Green Crack move to the 4x4 room, under the Samsung strip's. Both plants were topped and defoliated. All four ladies look happy and healthy, I can't wait to see how they grow under this light. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

Hello... fin de semaine 13, floraison 7. Le moment de la récolte est imminent pour la critical+2.0, je pense que d’ici 2 ou 3 jours ce sera bon... Et pour la gorilla Cbd, peu être une petite semaine de plus. Je surveille de près les trichromes. Juste avant la récolte, je vais laisser 24/48h les plantes dans le noir. Le flushing est fait aussi, j’ai commencé déjà la semaine dernière, et aussi hier. J’ai rincer la terre des pots de 10L avec environ 30L d’eau au pH 6.2~. J’ai effectué cette opération 2 fois. Voilà pour cette presque dernière semaine... 😉 Happy grow...😎

What up Growmies, this one grew hella fast maturing in 9 weeks from seed to harvest fast. Buds is true to their name. This one has some serious resin on the flowers reminding me of some sort of a gelato Gorilla glue cross, but we shall see when it's released! I could be far off lol. I had no problems growing her. She was really easy and happy her whole life. She's a great one for extractions! Thank you grow diaries and thank you fastbuds for the opportunity to show the world my organic gardening skills! I appreciate all the support from the growing community here on grow diaries. Big thanks for my followers!

06/23/2020 Topped her to 5 main stems, gotta decide if I want to top again or stay with 5 colas? I have a couple days to think about it. If the #3 male is showing typical bud structure I be happy

Bem minha menina vai ficar, mais 12 semanas +/- em vegetação, Tenho minha sala de floração cheia. Bem arrumadinho dava, mas gosto que plantas tenham espaço para crecer. Até é bom, ramos laterais tem tempo para crecer, Deve é ter que cortar, cruto principal para não ficar muito grande, em comparação com resto da planta, ver como corre. Bons fumos Plantas felizes

Week 9 is here and we are looking at harvesting! After checking the trichomes of just the top colas, I decided this week I was going to harvest. I am updating this post after I have dried and harvested the plant so do not have much more details. I flushed the plant this week with Flora Kleen along with terpinator and microbes. I cut down the plants and hung them up in the tent to dry using a clothes hanger with clips I got off of Amazon. It took 10 days to dry the bud and my temps and humidity would fluctuate throughout the day and night. I stayed in the mid to low 70s for temperature and humidity was at 50% at first. Then I added a humidifier and had it dry in 60% humidity. Will update the rest in the harvest update.
