Karibbean Mango looked beautiful this last week. She could've used another week I think, but definitely in a harvestable state. Honestly, when getting the seed, I thought it was more of a sativa, so always double check things, but I think I'm gonna like this one a lot regardless. It's got a tropical end of fruity smell for sure. Really dank smell I could tell from even in verge. It was gonna be pretty smelly. But then, when I harvest, I got the full sense of what she's going to be like it had a real intense, not exactly burnt rubber, but in that territory, where I just like sits in your nose. That was from mostly touching the stems when you open the flowers up a little bit it's a sweeter floral, tropical fruit and gas.
Harvest went really well with the plants. It's always a little nerve-racking going in there wondering if you're gonna run into anything like budrot or pests you didn't see but this round, nothing to speak of. Which most rounds are but I've had a few issues with some bud rot in some big colas before. Everything looked really clean. No signs of bud rot, no pests in or our of the soil. No powdery mildew. The tent really wasn't even that dirty. I had to clean it after I recommended my 65 gallon pots for my next round and was shocked how clean I got it within a day of having those plants in there growing.
This week my main focus was trying to get the temps down a little bit and humidity is low as I could. At the beginning of the week I dropped the lights down a full hour, down to 10/14. Also, the last few days before harvest, my temps were getting above 83 towards the end of the night and cut them off even earlier, so there was a few days they got roughly 9 hours of light last few days. I watered twice this week but the last dry back before cutting them my soil moisture's got around 18%, so pretty dry. I would've like to keep them a little wetter but ambient humidity has been very high. The last few days I managed to get into the 78°F 55% humidity range which I was happy with.
Harvesting the four plants took from 8 PM to 4 AM after their night cycle by myself. Each plant taking an hour and a half With very tiny breaks in between. I was on the second plant taking a hanger out to my dry area and I hear a loud shuffle in my mind thought it was the cat at first and then I realized that was too big of a sound to be my cat. Then I thought I was getting robbed or something and then I looked up and it was like a three year old buck about 250 pounds big antlers! We both looked at each other and jump scared, and both took off in opposite directions. It was kind of hilarious, but I was a little spooked after that, so I kinda had to set up a light outside so I could see better and the first few trips after that, I may have grabbed a PVC pipe in my off hand like I was in the game Doom or something lol.
