Week 10 (Day 75-83)
BlueHimalayanKush was harvested on day 82 following a three day dark-period. Colas were removed separately over a period of several days, carefully manicured and hung to dry in an air exchanged chamber with an ambient temperature not exceeding 20C and 10% relative humidity.
Floral development in Bluematic and PineappleExpress began to decline toward day 81 accompanied with some maturation of existing glandular trichomes and the onset of rapid leaf abscission. Some swelling and thickening of the colas was observed at this time with an apparent color change in both the calyx and vascular tissues in the terminal flowers. Resin production increased significantly in these plants from day 82 to give an abundance of new transparent stalked trichomes and some minor additional pistillate growth.
After flushing (day 78) the Smurfberry gave the first indications of maturity on examination and continues to produce only very minor phases of pistillate production and further rancidification of globular trichomes. No noticeable increase in resin production occurred following a three day water and light deprivation.
Flowering plants reaching maturity received intermediate feedings of unsulphured molasses and ruby ale 10% with added amino acids (100mg - branched chain aminos).
Plants in veg phase received waterings with pH7 distilled water (0.01% bi-carbonate soda) with 2% fish emulsion and marine algae periodically every 48 hrs. Flowering plants were soil fed sulphate of potash (aq) 30% with added alpha-keto amino acids and pk 13/14 (clone) 12% (EC = <400 or <200ppm). Mossy's Gem received further feedings of bubbled distilled water every 48 hrs following the drying of the growing media with minor foliar feedings of 0.1% fish emulsion. Cabinet settings were adjusted to sustain a reduced humidity in the grow space to 30% with a reduction in ambient temperature of no more that 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Awesome plants Trifid, they look great :clap:
Thanks for the cool post, again, Trifid! I want to help harvest them baby's! They're so fat!

Damn bro, those are some fat juicy nugs! 
How long into flowering do you foliar feed with your fish emulsion?

Hey Kindred, nice to hear from you
I usually go right up to the last week before harvest, since i apply at such minor concentrations residue formation is minimized and much of what is applied is consumed by the stomata. Keeping the concentration of bio-substituents (kelp/yeast extracts) low while maintaining a sufficient EC is one of the challenges I've managed to overcome this year.
A high conductivity potential is required for efficient leaf adsorption and diffusion by the leaf stomata, I achieve this by selectively applying quantities of chelated minerals (amino bounded) to the foliar mix to increase the EC - selecting those rare earth minerals (Mg/Mn/Cu/Zn) whose occurrence in most soil mixes is limited. In this way the plant is hungry for them and so they are rapidly trans-located across the leaf stomata with the kelp bio-substituents.
This technique is difficult to get right with consistency but sometimes you can almost see the supernate passing into the leaf. I foliar during lights out and at a low relative temperature (outside of the cabinet) to dilate the stomata and enhance the transpiration rate. Stomata have a tendency to constrict and close in arid or warm condition to protect the plant from desiccation.
