Hey friends
Today I harvested the Mac 'n Crack at 73 days old. When I got into the greenhouse she was almost touching the ground. So much she was hanging over on herself because of the weight of the buds... So I began taking trichome pictures and while at it have a look for myself.
As you can see there are plenty of amber trichomes to be found. I would guestimate between 10 and 15%
When I was don taking trichome pictures my hands were so sticky I had to stop... here's a square millimeter of my finger
Ok, so after removing all the fanleaves I hung her upside down in the shed...
Sorry I'm not showing the whole plant, but loads of personal stuff would be in the picture and I like my privacy
The flash doesn't lie. Massive amounts of trichomes glistening in the light...
The smell of this lady is just amazing! If you want a very sweet and fruity cultivar this is definitely one to consider. And with the amount of terpenes she has it will be a serious candidate to press right after drying. But I'll probably put her in some jars to cure for a while as I'm trying this kind of approach this year to see what the difference is between fresh press and cured...
So as with all the other girls I cut her at the main stalk a couple of cm's / inches about the soil so I could hang her upside down as a whole. This extends the drying period to about a week inside the shed. I did remove all the big fanleaves as I always do.
The coming week weather predictions are perfect for drying...The temperatures will not be going above 25°C / 77°F and with rain forecast for some of those days humidity won't be to low either.
See you guys in a week or so when I'll update with the trimming and weighing pictures...
Regards,
Bob
