Week 9: Flower - The First Harvest & Final Countdown! ✂️🌿
THE BIG CHOP IS DONE! Gorilla Z #1 has been harvested, and we're officially in the drying phase. Meanwhile, the remaining ladies are marching toward their own finish lines.
Gorilla Z #1 - HARVESTED! 🎉
She's down! After weeks of growth, recovery from overwatering, and pushing through to the end, this girl finally got the chop.
Trichome Check:
Mostly cloudy/milky (peak THC production ✓)
A few amber trichomes starting to show
Minimal clear trichomes
Harvest Timing: Honestly? I was in a rush—ran out of flower to smoke! 😅 But the trichomes were in a good window, so it worked out. Sometimes necessity makes the decision for you. Could've waited for more amber for a heavier effect, but she was ready enough.
What's Next:
Drying phase begins now
Aiming for slow dry (60°F, 60% humidity if possible)
Then comes the cure—patience will be tested again!
The Relief: Finally got some homegrown coming down the pipeline. The timing couldn't be better!
