**Amnesia Haze Update - Day 108 + Candy Cane Harvest**
Well, well, where do I start today? Lets start with the Amnesia's since they will be going into 48 hours darkness tonight at lights off. They will be harvested on day 110 at the end of week 10 in flower. Crop King suggested 8-9 weeks on this strain so they were pretty bang on, I let these girls go a little longer to get some amber trichomes showing before harvest.
These girls were very stress tolerant! It seemed like I could do whatever to them and they would just keep on growing and thriving. I will definitely enjoy growing this strain again in the near future and may have to order some more of these beans to set aside for the far future
We will see how she smokes once these plants are all dry.
Not a whole lot to report about the ladies today really. The top of the main cola on Amnesia #1 is getting crusty or crunchy feeling. Is this normal? It is only this top as well, I don't think it was heat related since there were no other signs but it very well could have been a couple inches to close to the light. No worries, there's still lots of great looking trichomes there. Also got a little bit of color happening in these buds, makes them look a lot different than they did a couple weeks ago. Leaves are also starting to lose their color since they are all flushed out now. well, lets get on with the pictures!!
Here we have Amnesia #1...
And here is my favorite, Amnesia #2...
Now, time for the harvest update on the Candy Cane Auto's.
I really liked growing these 2 plants, each of them were totally different when it came to how they grew, what they liked and how they looked. It gave me a few little challenges throughout the grow this way so that it would get my mind working and start being able to notice differences between plants when it came to being able to tell what each one needed and what they didn't. To be honest, I bet I won't know what to expect when I grow out the other beans as well. It was great fun and I'm glad I got some tasty smoke.
So, I somehow eyeballed the almost exact dry weights of these 2 plants before even chopping them down. In an earlier post someone had asked me what I figured I would yield from them, I said 20g for #1 and 24g for #2. Miraculously, the dry weight of #1 was 20.5g and weight of #2 was 24.1g. I don't know how I got it so close, but I'm going to say it was a lucky guess. I also have 29 grams of sugar trim that will be made into oil later today!
Quick smoke report before curing.. Smoke is fairly smooth for not being cured yet, fills the lungs very nicely without the choking effect. It has a very sweet smell when I open the jars as well as a mostly sweet with a hint of spice taste after exhaling. The high is relaxing and more of a head high but not to strong. Still able to go about daily tasks but more laid back about it. Would be great for after work or for battling stress.
Now, on with a few more pictures to end the days update! I need to get into the garage and start making some oil extract
Have a great day everyone!
Loving the dark purple jars!! Even with the lights on not much light gets through these at all. I will need to purchase some more of these for sure.
Candy Cane #1 harvest and buds!
Candy Cane #2 harvest and buds!
I bought a bunch of those humidity packs too so hoping they work.

cheers
Hope you're having a blessed and green day...
