Fuck me, it's only Monday and I'm shattered!
Last Friday night, I decided to chop the Night Queen. I stayed up all night and finished her by about 7am Saturday morning, and as everyone woke up after a long refreshing sleep, I got on with the day as usual.
I decided to chop the Condemned on Saturday night, but could only manage it until about 5am Sunday morning, then grabbed about 5 hours sleep.
Up at 10am to get on with family shit again, and after they went to sleep that night, I stayed up till 4am this (Monday) morning to finish the Condemned off. Up again 5 hours later.....
The place fucking stinks. I have the 4 boxes of manicured stems in an upstairs bathroom with a 5inch Hyperfan and filter running at full blast to keep the stench from escaping out the house and up into our neighbours' nostrils. Regular visitors to my threads may remember that I live 3 doors down from a Cop..... I do like to make my grows as challenging as possible.
I took a few pics using a macro and blew them up on the computer to check the trichomes and gauge when to do the harvesting.
Here's some from day 72...

mainly cloudies, but not ready yet.
Condemned

Mostly cloudy with a few ambers.... she's so thick with goo and I'm worried she might go mouldy if I wait too much longer.
Night Queen

I've convinced myself there's a few ambers amongst those cloudies... especially on the leaves. She's just about done.
Lemon Kix

mainly cloudy and clears, so she can live for a couple more weeks.
On day 73 I checked the Night Queen and Condemned again...

These were taken last Thursday, and seeing that I can only crop on weekends (because of the sleep deprivation) I thought it was best to take the Night Queen down ASAP followed by the Condemned.
Waiting another week would risk losing some bud to mould, and I wasn't keen on that idea. In any case, next weekend is reserved for cropping the Boomstick and maybe the Lemon Kix.
Here's the Night Queen, manicured and ready to hang in boxes to dry...

They were really solid buds, covered in trichomes. Look at the block of Scissor hash there.... absolutely lovely in the Mighty Vape.
Here's Condemned, just moments before she got chopped on day 75....

Look at those heavy buds bowing out like that!
Here's some final close ups of Condemned...
