DAY 65
Welcome to the start of Week 10! Some good things to see and talk about. First thing's first though, let's see the girl:

Some Buds:
Remember that cola a couple pics back where I exposed her to light and the lower end was catching up? He's another shot of her with a darkening base, noticeably darker than the bright green from before:
She's starting to shed the odd fan leaf, but it's early yet. She's vibrantly green overall, and is losing leaves one by one without fading. She's easily got a week left in her yet. She won't make it to day 77 I don't think, but I honestly don't know for sure. This week I'll start chilling her rainwater and feed her cold water from here on out. There'll be no more feeds as her soil seems plenty rich. Next grow I plant to use some wet perlite as a mulch, and compare that to topping with soil and sprinkled nutes. I think if she got more specialized organic feed she'd do better.
She's looking great: her oldest and richest spots are just caked with triches. It's encased some of the sugar leaves. She doesn't have TOO strong an aroma. It's there, but easily beaten with air freshener. All in all very promising, with dense dense branches.
So, I decided to take a sample from this girl today. That alone proved challenging: she's so dense I had to search hard for a popcorn nugget that didn't show promise of getting big that ALSO was easily snipped away. Very few stems were visible enough to see what I was doing AND exposed enough to easily trim away without hurting the plant and her final yield. Finally got one though:
This little bit was snipped and rapid dried (low power microwave method, where you lay it between two paper towls and microwave on low power for 10-20 seconds at a time to pull out the water without vaporize too much of the THC, if any). Of course, uncured rush dried weed is always inferior to the final output (mandatory disclaimer).
I'm 20 minutes into a tiny bowl, not even done with it yet, and going strong. It's a very great smoke, so what I was looking for. I'm VERY eager to get to the finished product. I don't want to rush her though, so patience is key.
