Thanks SilvaBack! Nicky, got back from the music/booze/cannabis/psi fest, was a super-great time! Thanks to all of you who gave me peace of mind that I wouldn’t return to over-ripe plants!
As predicted, I returned to some serious bud-fattening on some of the plants, and at least no huge caterpillar infestation (maybe a few more than when I left, but I expected worse after 16 days). It’s very interesting seeing the variable nature of each plant, having come from random seeds that I honestly don’t know the provenance of. Two plants are super-spindly with popcorn buds everywhere, the ‘little guy’ is like a baby Thai stick that doesn’t grow upward, one plant got bushy with fan leaves like I’d expect an indica plant to have, one has medium-dense orange buds, and one with fat colas that I can’t wait to harvest. The different aromas are amazing! Found one bud with what I expect is rot (removed), one grey/dead (removed), and now post-rain, two buds look ‘wet’ in a not-good way (watching).
HARVEST! Now I’m getting close, I need to get my act together. Took images of each 6 plants, below. I have an idea of where to go, but looking for some expert guidance here. Clearly all these plants are at slightly different stages of maturity, and it just got cool with rain here in CO, but forecast for 60-70s next week. Leaving again for 4 days on 10/7 (to visit my son in college and see Anders Osborne at Tipitina’s!), so I may end up with a harvest conundrum or two. It could always frost and play my hand early, which would be a bummer for two of the plants.
Anyway, here are the pics (Plants 1 through 6, hope they come out in order), look forward to hearing from you experts; I’m expecting one plant is quite nearly ready to harvest. Thanks again in advance!
