so i could chop the critical any time now?
or a few more days to ripen a little more?
ahh getting nervous again lol

Yes, you can harvest at any time now. I suggest staggering your harvest, a few colas now, some next week, in two, and three weeks. This way you can try different levels of amber in your harvest to find what you like the best. You might want a lot of amber at night, and not so much during the day. You are now in control!

hehe excellent thankyouu
will get the fridge powered up, go collect my h202 from theold dears later, and maybe tomorrow or next day start taking some off how exciting

 

[falstaffo]

so @Old Salt
i have been trying to figure out my plan.
i have taken a few more close ups just now.

so i read about 24hrs dark before harvest, is this something that is advised, or not important really? reason being is obviously if i harvest at different stages, i cannot do this, but i could essentialy pull the plant from that tent (this will be very difficult as its at the back) and keep it in the dark either just in the main room or cram it into my small tent which is empty for a day then chop wash and fridge it.

if i do cut in stages should i cut and put in darkness for a period before wash, or straight cut wash and bag up for fridge?
i have everything ready to go for washing and drying so its just the leading up to that bit now lol

i think the gas will be ready in a week or 2 max, it is about 8.5 weeks since flip now for these 3. i think i will chop the royal freaks at the same time as those, they wont have had as long they are about 2 weeks behind but i need to get them out of the bathroom anymore haha
so when that happens it will be a busy busy time lol and work and store space wil be tight, it may make my life easier to pull the critical as a whole around now and get that started.

sorry to keep pestering, just nervous at this crucial time aha

 

[Old Salt]

Harvest as soon as the lights come on, then straight cut wash and bag up for fridge.

 

[falstaffo]

got it thankyou.
ooh the nervous excitement giving me the jitters lol

 

[falstaffo]

filling buckets (takes a while from the ro tap lol) h202 ready 3% food grade
pegs ready to hang after wash

need to go up to grow room and make a hanging line ready at some point,
will also remove a couple of limbs from one of the royal haze auto to dry and try.

i think i will use a lot of the bud off the royal haze for some fhic oil in the new pressure cooker i have coming for such purposes

got some batteries for the hygrometers for curing jars

testing in the dry fridge lol

so i think after the wash il hang dry overnight and set alarm for 4-6 hours after to get up and begin the trim and bagging for fridge.

harvest day #1
chopped the critical last night, well 80% of it

the remaining

also chopped 2/3 of one of the royal haze

the critical i pulled all fans as i chopped down, i didnt bother with the rh as time was getting late after i had washed the critical

so everything washed in one 3% h202 bucket and 2 clean water buckets
hung to dry while i slept maybe 5-6 hours

critical on the left of red line rh on the right

after a couple hours i realised it was gonna take a while so chucked the rh in fridge while i worked, the critical took 7hours
rh took 3 hours

 

[falstaffo]

wasnt as careful with the rh lol
and put a lot of the half formed crappy stuff into the trim bag
268g wet trimmed bud

[falstaffo]

quick update on things
daily shuffles of the bags of bud, one in the morning one in the evening. will leave them a couple of days now i think, then remove to room temp for a half hour, then back in to restart the drying process.
very acrid citrusy smell when i open up, almost like its fermenting, smells lovelyyyy to me even like this aha. the critical ofc im talking about, the rh has a slightly damper smell, but still the haze comes through wirh it.

coupld pics of the other 2
