Next one is bout ready to go. More cloudy and amber than clear. I don’t want to pull trigger too early, but thinking it will be about right after 24-48s of dark ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/6/9/069e686edde372beb07bfed9db7361ab757a9895.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/0/5/e05376c4b49089b817e312478a2d8227d22e1857.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/8/a/38a218c3056351e6d2b4cd2fc3c4358f4a2b2654.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/0/5/1055131647c416b4d695a32f4d95ac6b14dfd1ed.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/8/6/186ac4bef45f2bf9aca23bd2828a8dddd34b40a7.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/e/8/fe8f22bb67c056e798b8a1b74551fde2668ee1f5.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/d/3/0d35f260b57a0de6a5721f5e2ea1fd95c3118810.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/0/f/00f795e8c4fcce744d730abc372085f785aa64d4.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/7/a/c7ad59d99dbf8b08f1bdf887558dccb61c827009.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/a/7/fa71e46a99aa5a6aa9450c41a9f6d80772a95c3e.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/e/d/1ede6c917a3ce8c7eebf2cf34ec7e39ad3172b8f.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/2/2/d2272d1901f6f2ef798a923f0c2458d8a350f653.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/6/9/069867a44bfdd19f0499e0917af26fcd381f4b20.jpeg) ---

How did they mature in the dark period? Think it made a difference? Looking great! ---

Honestly, I’m Not sure if I personally could tell that much of a difference. I feel like the smell may have intensified a bit, but I can’t be sure. I’m going to be a lot more diligent with my next grow about keeping a journal with good notes and pics. The soil probably dried out a little too much in the 48 hours. I’m happy with the result so far but can’t way to kick it up a level with the next grow ---

Its actually good to let soil dry out before. Makes drying time slightly less. New grower but what i have heard form a few growers on here and youtube. Your girls look beautiful tho. I hope mine turn out good. Ive only got a few brown pistils. Mostly still all white. Guessing at like week 5 or 6. Was a bag seed. Which happened to be an autoflower. ---

I’d also read that about letting soil dry out before harvest, but I’m also in no rush to dry, cure, & consume, so I’m all about a slow dry if it leads to improved scent and flavor. I’d gladly give up some potency for better scent and flavor. Crop is currently in the tent, hanging, with conditions hovering between 50 & 55% humidity and just under 70 degrees. Smell is underwhelming, but hoping for improvement during drying and cure. [Previous page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/trichome-thoughts/55531.md?page=1)
