Apricot — Harvest Report
Everything good must come to an end, my friends.
After inspecting the trichomes with my microscope, I found more than 50% amber trichomes. That's my sign to pull out the axe.
The weather forecast for next week is also showing some rain. This is the first grow where I've made it through the entire season without any serious mold problems, and I definitely don't want to risk that now, so it's time to harvest.
Conditions
Although temperatures reached almost 40°C at times, the girls took it like champs. Overall, this grow has been almost completely trouble-free, apart from finding a few aphids hiding between some of the buds towards the end.
These genetics have proven to be incredibly resilient and seem to forgive even some pretty harsh conditions.
What Did I Learn?
This was my first time using Plagron Bat Mix instead of Biobizz All-Mix, and I'm very happy with the results.
In my opinion, the girls showed noticeably stronger growth, especially during the vegetative phase. I think I'll definitely use Bat Mix again next year.
After exactly six weeks, which is roughly what Plagron states for the nutrient charge of the soil, the available nutrients seemed to be running low and I started feeding with T.A. TriPart. For the final two weeks, I switched to T.A. FinalPart.
Unfortunately, I had one small setback during my vacation week when the girls went without nutrients for too long. I'm sure that cost me some yield, and without that mistake the plants would probably have performed even better.
But that's part of growing. You learn from your mistakes.
Final Words
I want to thank every single one of you for following along with this grow.
And an even bigger thank you to everyone who took the time to leave comments and share their own experiences. I love sharing both my successes and my mistakes with you guys. That's what makes these diaries so much fun.
Thanks for following the journey, my friends!
