Hey Cannafam,
Well we've come to end for my Gauva gal and today i've decided to harvest. We are expecting some bad weather starting tomorrow for the week, and i don't want her to get ruined. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few clears and its best to harvest slightly early rather than run the budrot gauntlet!
The weather has been a good deal cooler over the past week and this had been a good turn as her her leaves have rapidly changed colour, shes rapidly turned into a dark purple, pink and red beauty 😊
Temps for Wednesday/Thursday were 22c day 14c night with rain on both days, but it has been dry since with nice sun. Friday to today 20c in the day and dropping down to 12c at night.
Humidity has remained generally high for most of the week at an average of 75%, although this has now come down to 53% for today, and daylight is at 13 hours 59 minutes.
Shes had one feed at the beginning of the week and plain waterings since. Her buds have filled out and are looking nice and chunky. Smell is a nice kinda fruity sugary candy waft which is very pleasant but not overpowering.
For the harvest ive taken the bigger fan leaves and also a few of the larger sugar leaves, shes been hung up in the garage for drying, which i anticipate take a couple of weeks and il then do a dry trim. I don't have hanging scales for wet weight but i'l give the final result when dry.
Throughout this gal has been absolutely solid and i would definitely grow again, but i may try another of the FastBuds/Mephisto crosses next year outside as from what i've seen they are a strong marriage 💪💪💪
Until the final update, thank you to anyone who has liked or commented. I hope you have enjoyed this diary and may you be happy and well 😊✌️💚
******** Update**********
Well this gal took 12 days to dry and has been curing just under a week. She came in at 64 grams so just over 2.25 ounces a really top result and the harvest will last me a good long time 😊
I generally cure for 4 weeks and im using the boveda 62% packs for long term storage. When you open the jar you get a sugary sweet candy smell a bit like sherbert with fruity undertones, and this is definitely the sweetest smelling strain that i've grown 😊 In the vaporizer at 200c she gives a sweet tasting toke sugary and kinda flowery tasting, which is a pleasant combo, she instantly unwinds the mind, makes you smile and within minutes any tension in the muscles goes. The high is not to overwhelming but still hits well, is uplifting and makes you smile to yourself. I I also found this one very good for pain relief from my muskoseletal issues and found that all pain in my hands arns and back was gone for a good couple of hours. This is good daytime strain for being chill but active.
To anyone checkin in i hope youve enjoyed this diary, and il see you soon 💚
