This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold.
After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds.
Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality.

⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight)
📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale)
This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim.
Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing.
⸻
✂️ Harvest Process
• Removed fan leaves only
• Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact
• Entire plant cut at the base
• Hung upside down on a full drying line
• Goal: slow drying for best flavor
⸻
🌬️ Drying Environment
• Temperature: 18–19 °C
• Humidity: 52–55%
• Airflow: Soft and indirect
• Estimated drying time: 10–14 days
This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for.

💎 Bud Quality & Aroma
24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly:
• Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering
• Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown
• Tight, medium-large bud structure
• Sticky, resin-heavy trim work
• Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush
This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run.
⸻
🌱 Plant Behavior
24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish:
• No mold or late-flower issues
• Responded very well to training
• Thick branches, strong stretch
• Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower
A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.
