It's been freezing here, frosty in the morning (not that I'm up that earlyThanks Joe! I'm really looking forward to her buds. The colder nights have turned her a dark purple. Today in the sun.
) but I'm turning purple too...
Thanks Shed! It's quite neat that purple vein that sometimes travels up the trichome stalk, I wonder what it's made up of.
Hi Tra, my camera is quite basic, it has a fixed lens and no zoom, on it's own it is definitely not good for closeups.Good morning Stung
How do you get such good glitter shots?
I try and try.
Thanks for that.
Well yeah, and that's not even all of it. We don't disclose the entire menu up front for fear of scaring new growers off. But don't you worry, you'll see the full list in good time.Bloody hell..... no one told me that besides the tent, the expensive light/s, fan, DWC pots, nutes etc... that I also need a good camera!!!!
And here's me thinking it would be a cheap hobby!!!
Thanks Azi! The plants should like the trough considering it's got triple the soil of last year's 3 pots.
Cheers Sax! The plant never really relished the soil and my training of it, but wow, what a lovely smoke.WOW, the volume of trichomes is fantastic. You must be a proud father indeed, what a great offspring!
Bloody lovely.
Stunger on having the patience to let the SLH ripen to your specs (and the MS even longer!), so congratulations on another great trough harvest! 
You had me at "already a wonderful smoke"! Beautiful harvest!Update - The Super Lemon Haze gets the chop
Greetings 420 enthusiasts!
This morning I chopped the Super Lemon Haze. She was looking tired and her trichomes were close to where I wanted them. Another week maybe for the trichomes would have good, altho according to the breeder notes she would have been ready last month!?
My thoughts in general on trichomes is that I would prefer mostly cloudy with some amber. However, going on the over all appearance of a plant, sometimes the environmental stresses like nutrition, pests, weather, damage etc, work together to age the plant to where it has had enough. At this point the Super Lemon Haze is 6 and a half months old and by my eye I have pushed her as much as I can and she is now showing deterioration where I either chop the whole plant or I take half and leave the rest for a bit longer.
My last tester of her was taken almost 2 weeks ago and at that stage she was already a wonderful smoke, I am super pleased with her smoke/vape quality and will want to grow her again. So today, rather than piddle around with carrying out a partial harvest I decided completely chop her and hang her up to dry.
The trough goes from 2 plants to just 1

It was overcast and a struggle to get enough light for a decent shutter speed but this gives an idea of her final state.
On this day last year I harvested the sister plant to this year's Mulanje Sherbert. That was after several partial harvests. However this year's plant has been under less stress in the trough compared to last year's pots, and I think that's the reason she is still looking strong so I intend to let her continue for longer while she is enjoying life, and I can see what if any difference this makes to her potency, altho she is a butt kicker already.
I am really behind in catching up with everyone's grows. But thanks for dropping in, and best wishes for a great day!
Thanks Shed! I feel that the larger soil mass of the trough may have reduced some of the heat stress conditions that plants received in their former 'aerated' pots and this perhaps allows them a longer maturity time before limbs start failing.
No, I am still greedy for as much as I can get!
Cheers Jiggi! It's nice to harvest but a bit sad to see them gone.Indeed beautiful shots and congrats on the harvest
Thanks Otter! I'm quite rapt with it.
