The white dominana was really stacking and not showing too much signs of wanting to slow down towards the end but this week I got her to frost up. A lot of the stigmas are now orange as well when I cut that main cola off to take pictures. My arm was starting to get sore from holding it straight out. There was a lot of big colas in there. She's got a nice funkiness to her, but nothing to exotic or pungent in your face. Not a Skunky sort of funk, but more of like a light BO funk. It's got a slight citrus, earthiness and fruity kind of watermelon and honestly it's very subtle though. Looks like the potency is there though.
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.
I wasn't able to fit all the pictures I took from harvesting. I'll have to add them to my next week after they're dry, of all the plants hanging. It seems like I've got my drying area carved out pretty good for the flowers space I have. Does suck having to move my drum set out for two weeks and freezing in my studio though but better than not having a decent drying space that's for sure I had my twine still up from during my auto flowers and utilized a few of those hanging from the ceiling to get a couple extra hangers in.
