Hello everybody!
This was the last week for this little Titan F1, yesterday the plant got harvested and now is hanging upside-down in darkness.
Is hanging as a whole plant, I was afraid to wet trim it before as my humidity is not always in the best value ranges.
So I preferred to be on the safe side and avoid super fast or excessively drying after a wet trim.
I will have a little more work to do during DRY trimming but is ok, is just 1 little plant.
In this last two weeks not much was going on.
Just soil flushing and constant checking on trichomes every 2/3 days.
This was the last week, the plant again got only plain water adjusted to the right pH, around 6.4.
2 liters of water every 2 days.
For a total of 6 liters this week.
Yesterday at day 85 the plant FINALLY got chopped down. A little late on the schedule, it took her around 10 days longer than RQS indicates.
Overall from my observations it looked like the plant could go longer that's why I kept her till day 85.
Also the trichomes were not ready yet (somewhere around 90%).
Before harvest I actually checked the trichomes for the last time and FINALLY they were all nice and milky. Almost 0 lucid or transparent. I chopped her in the perfect moment I believe.
In the last days I lowered a little bit the intensity of the light to 50%, I noticed that on the main cola the terpenes were evaporating. The light was too close and definitely too strong.
This was due to my latest lightning upgrade. From 70 to 100 watt. I should have kept the old lighting on untill the end of her life even if was for just 1 week.
Anyway the new light it gave her benefits, the plant definitely got more beefy with the new illumination. But also got some light burn and stress. But the most important thing is that the plant survived this journey and now is drying up.
So the last two days before harvest the light was at 50%, in fact the plant recovered so well and the main cola started to smell again. Im sooo happy.
There are some purple spots on buds 💜 from light stress and genetics of course.
Regarding drying and curing the plan is:
Drying in darkness for 7-10 days. Temp 17 celcius and around 51-53% humidity.
Curing inside air sealed jars with Boveda humidity packs for about 1 or 2 months. I dunno if go for the 62% or the Boveda 58%. I think i will start with 62% and then decide if I like it or needs couple % less.
Of course in one week after is dry I will do the first smoke test without curing it, im too excited and impatient, it was 3 months maaannn, time to smoke test it now. I will keep 1 or 2 grams and the rest will go in the jar for the final cure.
Honestly I never look at the dry weight, is a bit too vague, full o little branches, leaves... Just not important for now.
Next week when I do the dry trimming I will update with the last pictures and the final dry weight.
Thanks to everybody and see you next week.
