Thanks Reggie. I’ve been seeing slight morphological differences across the garden but haven’t invested much attention to it. I want to see if the others show the same fade at the end before I call it. It’s the flowers themselves that’ll tell of course.
Thanks BA! She has been plucked of all her gorgeous colours now. I’m starting the trim on GSC #1 and filtering water for her budwash.

First harvest in.
It looks like it will dry to a little over an ounce in a week or two. It should be a pretty nice ounce by all accounts. Organically grown rocket fuel

Looks tasty indeed. I liked that reddish looking one also. I was hoping for some nice colours from one of mine but I don't think I'll get any this time.
Loving the frost too.
Nice harvest! Nothing like a jar full of cookies!
Congrats on the harvest, Donkey! What colour trichomes do you go for?
Nice harvest. I had 4 phenos across 4 plants. Two similar and one went purple. Should have a weight report with pics this weekend. Testers have been spectacular…all cloudy some amber. Cheers DonkeyDick
Nice harvest! Congrats Donkey! Now....squish time??
you got me dreaming of zebra lined spliffs

Cheers Prof! Until I get the others through I won’t know if the pretty colours were phenotypical or just epigenetics. We have another crunchy frost this morning. We’ve only had a little snow this year but it’s been really cold.
Mm mmm
Thanks HG. I like ripe trichomes. All milky with a few natural ambers is favourite and was right where she was at.
Exciting!
I look forward to reading your reports. Nice harvest! Congrats Donkey! Now....squish time??
Thanks Rex. It’ll be a couple of weeks til we have GSC rosin. We’ll let her dry slowly and have a bit of a cure then it’s mugs away! Scissor hash yesterday was a sweet and savoury tasty affair like a creamy rich gravy sharp with rosemary and pepper. Any effects were buried in the mix of meds at the time.
I’ll be starting on testers in a week.
Thanks Shed. Just a little one but I’m not used to leaving a plant untrained. We’ll see what topping and tipping does for the others as they come through.
creamy rich gravy sharp with rosemary and pepper…I have all those ingredients and want it, but can’t seem to move off the couch.
Well, crap. Not sure how I missed this grow, but I'm now here for the finish. Beautiful plants there, Donkey! 
Mind if I take you back a bit in time? I'm wondering about how you use the dome for your cuttings. Do you leave it on and mist a couple of times a day until you see roots, or do like some others do which is leave it on for a few days and then start removing it in larger and larger increments to wean them off the greenhouse like setting?

Hey Azi. The domes. I’ll mist inside the dome for a few days then start hardening the cutting off straight away.
Apart from temperatures - which took my last round of cuttings - it is when I harden them off that tends to be a risky time for them. This is why I do it sooner rather than later.
And hardening them off consists of the longer and longer times out from under the domes over a few days, or something else?

Yes hardening off is getting leaves used to transpiring in air, drawing moisture from the stem not the atmosphere.
I have killed a great deal of cuttings mishandling this step.

Frosty little ladies DD. And a Nice looking start on your harvest.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Kick ass harvest! Congrats.
Excited to watch it the rest of way. How to do you intend to cure these? Do you approach it differently if your curing for smoking flower versus pressing?
How about dipping into the stash early in the cure process to enjoy? I'm frothing at the mouth to start getting some lower canopy snipped to give it a try. Not sure how to approach it and still be good.
I'm thinking of cutting a bunch of this lower stuff tomorrow. I figured it should still be enjoyable...it's pretty frosty. Plus it would give the main branches some extra nutrients since these wouldn't be sucking anything up...right?! Thoughts?

Hey...I think I asked you before. How did you cure or prep your testers? I mean, what's typically the best way to approach getting them ready quickly but still a good test product?

After washing the fresh flowers at harvest they drip dry a few hours and get snipped off their stalks. 30g of fresh flower goes into each of the paper sandwich bags I use and on to racks in a designated frost free fridge for drying.
This is the normal low and slow dry a lot of people here have adopted/adapted. The ‘cure’ link in my signature takes you to some of the science around RH control during this process if anyone feels they’d like to bone up on it.
Dried/drying flower is jarred at a certain point and these jars are ‘burped’ twice daily for two weeks then daily for a week.
Is this what you mean?
As I understand it one of the goals of the cure is to allow a bacterial process to break down the chlorophyll molecule. It degrades into ammonia and carbon dioxide which is why jars are airy (two thirds full) and ‘burped’ to gas off this sharp taste so it isn’t reabsobed.
Hope that helps.
The only difference I would employ would be in storage. Because you can’t squish fresh flowers (for rosin anyway) you end up giving them a bit of a cure so it all gets treated the same.
If I were planning to separately store flower for squishing and smoking I’d use 62% bovedas for the rosin stash and 58% bovedas for smoking.
Prequels: pretesters will show you a bit of the flavours if you hang it a few days. It’ll be green, but good fun no doubt.
