Finally, weโve reached the final week, and I think they'll be ready by May 16th. The remaining 14 days are reserved for drying. I decided to do one last defoliation, removing all the leaves that were too damaged and allowing the light to penetrate more deeply. Thereโs a mix of photos showing them before and after the defoliation. Speaking of light, last week I changed the cycle, and until the 16th, they'll be on 24/24 lightโfirst time I'm trying this method instead of the usual 2 days of darkness. On the 16th, I'll take them out of the tent and snap the final photos.
It hasnโt been an easy journey... Right at the start, during germination, while handling the pots, I dropped the light on top of them. I had to germinate a new seed, which became R03. Later, during the vegetative stage, I dropped the R02's pot, affecting her so much that she's now on the balcony and half the size of the others (to be fair, R01 and R03 grew so much that they completely took over the tent ๐
).
Then there was my excitement when preparing the soil, which ended up being a bit too hot with nutrients, causing both plants to yellow earlier than expected. I tried to correct this by watering without nutrients for a while; it didnโt help much, but I believe if I hadnโt done that, things wouldโve been worse.
Even with all that, they turned out to be big girls, with plenty of bud sites, and theyโre now entering that final phase of fattening up.! Letโs see what they can do in these last 5 days! ๐

I can already see some final improvements, hehe. I watered them one last time with 3.5L of plain water each, because on May 16th, or at the latest the 17th, it's time to cut and put them to dry for the remaining days of the contest. Everything is super tight around here, but weโre going to make it! ๐ช๐ป
I'm thinking of doing a wet trimming when I cut the plants and put them to dry. This way, I can speed up the drying process and gain an extra day or two with them in the tent.

I'm going to leave them for one more night, from the 16th to the 17th. Tomorrow they'll be chopped, and I'll create a week for the final photos before the harvest weeks with the dried buds! So, it took 12 weeks from seed to harvest.
See you tomorrow ๐ค๐ป๐
