9 weeks/64 days since I first noticed pistils. Still no amber trichomes. Waiting patiently. Snapped a quick picture this morning. Not the best picture but it gives one the idea what she looks like at this point. I’ll take some close up pictures of the trichomes later in the week.

Since I am so close to harvest I’ve been thinking about drying process. I have both an AC Infinity drying rack and a STACK!T DR28HANG STACKT Hanging Dry Rack w/28 Clips. Would appreciate any input on what techniques other growers use to dry their harvest.

I’ve also been reading that the ideal temp for drying is 60 degrees and the ideal temp is 60%. I will be using my tent to dry the harvest in and I will be hard pressed to meet those conditions. The best I can achieve for temp is 70-72 degrees since my tent is indoors. If I don’t make any adjustments to the humidity it will probably be around 40-45 percent. Anyone have any thoughts about these conditions? Will I have any problems with mold? I do have a moisture meter that I can use to keep any eye on the moisture content of the buds as they dry.

Thanks!

At this point can I harvest some of the lower popcorn buds, dry them and make dry ice hash?

That’s a monster auto! Nice job! :+1:t4: :sunglasses:

Thanks! Next week will be 10 weeks flowering and she’s still pushing out fresh pistils!

Getting close Grow Bro, foxtails…no new pistils this late in the game. Your temps are RH are on point. Lighting intensity may be high causing the foxtails. Using a meter to set the lighting intensity ? :love_you_gesture:

I have an Apogee PAR meter. What should I be setting the PPFD to at this point?

Thanks!

@OGIncognito if possible could you mark up my photos to highlight the foxtails you see? I’ve been looking for them lately but maybe I don’t know what to look for.

Thanks!

800 or even 700 this late in flower. Can you post another pic, glare behind the one above :love_you_gesture:

@OGIncognito does this help? Need some help figuring out when to harvest. I know that I’m close. I’m looking for a lighter, happy happy joy joy rather then a heavy sedated buzz. 10 weeks 3 days (73 days) since I first noticed pistils.

She’s close, I generally harvest with all milky or as close to that as possible. I like the same buzz you’re looking for. A week tops?? . I would dial the light back to 700ish the last week and foxtails other than unsightly are harmless. I’ve smoked my share of them. Nice work on this one Grow Bro :love_you_gesture:

Great! I’d like to have ‘picture perfect’ buds but it is not my top priority. I’ll dial back the lights and look to chopping down next week. I look at this as an opportunity to learn for the next grow. I’ll keep this journal updated as I go through drying and curing.

She’s due for a watering. Should I just do a plain water flush at this point?

Thanks!

Right on, keep this journal going for your next run as well. I’m using one a few years old. I’ll tag you over there if you’re interested :love_you_gesture:

Checked a little closer on the different pics, wouldn’t hurt to let her go 10 days, seeing some clear. Keep an eye on the clear ones might be ready in 7 days but a little longer won’t hurt the buzz you’re looking for :love_you_gesture:
