Aye, just in case you're wondering or snacking on some cookies, I'm a devotee of Philomena Cunk, the reincarnation of the ancient goddess Cardea (check her out, fastest growing one man religion in the universe) , Blackadder, Biggus Dickus and by extension Hero of Alexandria.
Enough said, I must be on my way, and suggest you do the same

Tiger Moth's at 2 o'clock

What will we do sir?

Get the Tiger Moth balls.

I didn't know Tiger Moths had ....been invented yet.

Hmmm, it's very disappointing to see this in print, like revealing Santa is a bit of a fata morgana.
Who spilled the beans

Well I'm not sure about others but for me the rip in reality is signalled by electronic sounds in my ears separate to normal sounds. Thanks for the heads up will on Cunk.

You have to check out this utterly insane Russian grow...

Very cool, it would grace any living room, yield and effort is in the artistic rather than industrial category, but who cares, this is fine art!

What I would like to know is what software and sensor(s) were used to record this, that's not apparent

I like to weigh the plants in a similar way, although I weigh the plant with a spring scale when they're hung up to dry out lol

Okie dokie much excitement down here with 32C temps and 85% humidity something had to give just as I'm into peak flowering. So unfortunately I had to pull down all the main colas on the Think Big, ended up with 5 1/4 zip of top qual bud, at 11 weeks and a couple of days it was only 50/50 white cloudy, I only found a few bits of bud rot and after it was all dried only one more bit so I feel I dodged a bullet there. I know that had I left it two more days it could all be kaput. The temperature dropped though to a more easier to manage 23 so I was able to get a small dehumidifier which takes it down to 55%RH and all the rest of what's left of Think Big seem to be doing fine, I'm just waiting for her to mature. Today she has made it to 13 weeks and it could be another week or longer, I'd really like to see most of the trichomes cloudy if it's possible.

Too bad the cooler weather came a week too late but I'm glad I avoided what could have been a very bad bud rot attack situation. This Think Big though is a wonderful plant, I'm very impressed with Dutch Passion stuff so far. Looking forward to their Orange Bud next grow.

She keeps sprouting new pistils still only about 50/50 cloudy/clear here's a shot of her taken yesterday with all the main colas gone, more to follow...

Things have been moving fast suddenly looks like the chop could be imminent. The early harvest was at 79 days and it's now at 104. Here's what the early harvest looks like nice banana flavour, smokes well and would pass as top quality weed but they are much more mature now and the difference is not small.

There's still a fair few clear trichomes I'll make a decision tomorrow if she's coming down. She's spreading out like some repressed mighty oak tree, still hard to believe that the 5 zips that were removed prolly would have ended up as 7 or 8 if they could have been able to grow, but then I suppose these current ones would not have developed so maybe this is a good plan to do an early harvest on a high yielding plant.

This is a big fucking plant and it seems really interesting to grow, I'm liking the banana flavour but it's lacking some depth but I'm expecting that to improve with the mature harvest she's suddenly been smelling very sweet, like freesias. This could very well become a permanent part of my grow.

Here's a compare shot at 12th April and 16th. The angle is slightly different so I'm having some difficulty in working out if it's still producing or not. Just when I think she's done then I'm not sure. I'll take it day by day.

Nice going man, very nice indeed

Judging from your pics, she still has some bud to give . I've found using the trichs as a harvest guide is a fools errant. I've never seen more than some 5% turn amber even at 140 days.
I sometimes use Newton meters to give a hint when they're done packing weight, like this but attached to a sagging branch

For hang drying whole plants it's pretty cool, usually about 15 % of wet weight at harvest ends up as dry buds. These amnesia gals were 2,8 - 2,9 kg at harvest
