Hello my friends!
Almost weekend, are you ready for it ? I can't wait, the work drained me soooo much this week! Good that this little Titan gives me so much joy and satisfaction every time im back home!
Back to us!
Today is friday and marks the last day of her 10th week. Today is kinda important, is exactly 77 days since the plant showed up from the soil.
RQS is saying that normally this plant is ready to harvest in about 70 to 75 days. Mine is already 77 and is not ready yet.
As you can see from the picutres and clips especially the last ones of this week...you can see that her trichomes are not quite ready yet.
The trichomes look like they are 85%/90% ready right now, as I am writing this post.
The pictures and clips are also from this morning, is all fresh material.
Most of the trichomes are cloudy but you can still see that few of them are not ready yet, also there is no amber colour at all.
All of this it must mean that the plant can go couple days more.
This week and the previous one I was reading and checking online about this plant and her previous grows. I understood that the plant in reality takes a little longer to get FULLY ripe and ready. A little over 80 to 85 days.
I will let her run for another week more or less, today is day 77. For peace of mind I am checking the trichomes every 2 days to don't miss it or be late.
It would be a shame to cut it down right now.
Why?
I can see the buds getting bigger and bigger everyday! She's getting thicker literally in front of my eyes, especially in this late phase of flowering.
I can see the buds increasing in size day by day. I am sooooo happy! Dope!
So harvest probably next week!
WATERING
This week I've started the FLUSH cycle.
The plant got 6 L of plain water adjusted to 6.3 pH and splitted in 3 watering sessions by 2L each.
In all 3 waterings the drained water was around 1 liter.
NUTRIENTS
No nutrients this week, same story next week.
Just plain water till harvest, the water will be adjusted to the correct pH. No more no less.
The harvest should fall exactly on the day that marks 2 weeks of no nutrients. So actually with this we are really spot on! Perfect I would say.
LIGHTNING
The light is always 100%, 24/7.
The only update here is that at the beginning of this week I lowered the light about 10 centimeters for this last days of flowering. Is an experiment...anyway my light is only 70 watts in the end. So I am not too worried about it, probably I should lower it couple of week ago to give that extra boost to the plant. But it is what it is, now is too late ahahahah.
Anyways talking about the light...before I've got 25 centimeters between the led lamp and the plant, now is about 15 centimeters of distance.
TRAININGS
NO MORE training techniques were applied to the plant.
At the beginning of this week I REMOVED all the LST that was trapping and keeping her strapped to the pot.
I wanted the plant to BE FREE during the last two weeks of her life. Like a little treat and mercy for this beautiful prisoner ahhahaha.
Removing the LST I allowed the plant to lift up a little bit more her branches.
In this way the buds sites went up and closer to the led lamp, closer about 10/20%. Maybe is not much but in the end everything counts on the scale. We will see the results.
The height of the plant didn't change in this last weeks, it reached 48 cm and stayed there.
Actually after I released her from the LST last week, it gained 2 cm.
So now at the end of her life the plant is 50 cm tall.
The smell is strong and pungent, refreshing somehow. Very pleasant, I love it.
OVERALL
Everything is going well, just a little bit late on the schedule.
The patience is the key for good and big buds!
I CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE, WE ARE ALMOST THERE.
See you next week for the final update! Stay safe y'all!
