Well I harvested last night. It was perfect time for the girls under the T5, but the ones under the CMH were just in such poor health I didn't really want to try to stretch them out for another 2-3 weeks. The buds themselves had begun to yellow and dry up, so I figured a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. I think I"m gonna focus on fast-finishing strains, since being able to run past 8 weeks of flower seems pretty seldom done in my tents.
Here is one Panama x Malawi #3 plant (on the left of the big stem ) next to a mix of all the Panama x Malawi from the T5 tent.
This is Panama x Malawi #2 and #5 from the CMH tent all mixed up. It will be easy to tell them apart because #2 has made big dense nugs, while #5 is pretty larfy. But I don't know that I"m gonna bother jarring them separately.
This is the Platinum GIrl Scout Cookies x Cherry OG. There's one pile in the back ( separatied by a stem again ) that's from the T5 tent, and then the rest is from the CMH tent. The one from the CMH tent started purpling up on me a little bit.
This is just popcorn and scrappy stuff from all the T5/CMH plants mixed together. Probably going to make hash with this along with the trim. I'll just break it all up together and that way I won't have to actually trim the scrappy stuff as much as just break it up and put it in the same mix with the trim I get off the nicer buds.
Then up here is the PxM #3 next to the PxM mixes from the T5 tent. I pretty much ran out of room on the bottom, but it's a nice way to compare how much more trichomes the ones under the T5 tent got. I don't think it was really the amount of light or difference in spectrum that did it, so much as the CMH plants just never were too healthy. I'm not sure though because I've always heard blue light grows stickier buds, and the ones from the T5 plant are like handling glue.
Anyway, I'll check back when I get it all weighed and stuff. I took out a few tester buds to try while it dries, but I'm pretty sure I already know what they'll smoke like. The 7 1/2 week harvest on the PxM is real early so I don't expect that stuff to be as potent as my last batch, so I'm going to try to jar all the stuff that went to 10 1/2 weeks under the T5 in a different set of jars.
Oh, I did end up getting a lot more nanners on these PxM under the T5 tent, and I think they were just stressing because of the low light situation rather than the CS actually working. Unfortunately they didn't seem to shed any pollen in time to develop seeds, and I didn't take clones, so this is the end of the road for the Panama x Malawi until I buy more seeds of it from ACE.
