Sitting at Day 75.96 into flower, just days away from chopping these babies down. Most hairs are now amber, none of the trichomes are amber, most of them are now white. I'm shooting for a zippy high, and this is a sativa to begin with, so I'm just waiting for the trichs to be mostly cloudy, a bit of clear, hoping for barely any amber.
They have been on water only for a week and a half. I honestly expected them to be done by now. I've trimmed off just about everything that doesn't have visible sugar on them. I toss that junk. I also had to tie them up about a week ago. As expected (and warned by the breeder), they became lanky, and the buds are super dense and heavy.
They smell wonderful, and are pretty dense. I can't wait to try them. Still a while before they are ready though. I'm planning a week of cracking the jars every 12 hours, then a week of once a day, then finally 2 weeks closed. Of course, there is no way I am going to wait until then to at least try it. I'll put some aside, and cure for only 2 weeks, one week opening twice a day, then a week closed. Hell, if I'm gonna be honest, I'll probably try it right after its been dried, just to get a taste.
Anyway, its been a crazy end of the summer. I've had to travel for week for two weeks, and then moved a kid off to college for a week. Big shout out to my helpers! Couldn't grow without the friends that pitch in and get dirt under their nails.
Hope everyone is enjoying the end of the summer!
