June 19, day 91, the grow has gotten close to harvest time, so I am begining to reduce the nutrient EC for this upcoming week. I will then give the plant 24-48 hours of darkness, along with very low EC water before harvest.
I continue to take leaves off as needed for canopy exposure, but I think the buds have pretty much reached the size they are going to get. While the density of the canopy has limited lower development, there are about 50-100 top bud sites which will each be a minimum of a couple grams dried (and some much more), so I am pretty excited to see the final wet a d dry harvest weights. The buds themselves are hard and resinous, glittering nicely when not under the strong LEDs. The smell is sweet, fruity, and floral, mild but pleasant.
I have noticed more clear trichomes than I would be used to for the stage in the grow (although plenty of cloudy and amber as well). I have a suspect this might be due to genetics, and contributes to the euphoric high this strain in known for.
June 21, day 93, worked to expose more underdeveloped bud during this final ripening period. It's coming along!
June 23, day 95, the Euforia is ripening. A lower bud became light bleached when they were suddenly exposed to light, and I am interested to see what happens to it after harvest. Overall the buds are a lovely light purple/pink and are hard with trichomes.
