@Sick Vape hello mate and thank you so much for your ongoing warmth and support do you have a true heart for sure my friend and I really appreciate it.
And yes, precisely that. Over, or rather, longest flowered buds do you have a negative effect on my fatigue condition and generally just don't suit me and are a bit too debilitating energy and muscle wise.
It is specifically the cbn which I don't like and doesn't really agree with me but I have made a mistake too many times of harvesting too late because the trouble with outdoor growing in the UK is those trichomes don't come on as fast as the rest of the plant when you have to keep them indoors or covered for many days on end and the plant starts to deteriorate in general and reaches it's optimum harvest time I'm regarding all other indicators and factors, while the trichomes still need a bit longer to develop more.
And what can make it tricky as well is actually inspecting the plants properly when you have prolonged damp and dull spells of weather, like if they arent quite ready for example but you cant guess how long it will be, so you just need to keep checking every day because they can suddenly turn quite quickly (trichomes) but we have had spells of rain and damp in late harvest meaning plants in the kitchen for nearly a week without any decent light actually have a look at those trichomes.
And with a feeling that you don't want to harvest them until they had a little bit of decent whether to finish off. So that's an example of how I have messed up before and let them go over with way too many Amber trichomes and generally yellow plants at harvest which is heartbreaking to go past that freshness.
This year we get it perfect in fact everything could have flowered for longer because there's barely any Amber at all but the potency is way above what we had before and it's a much more uplifting psychoactive energizing high which I prefer but can exacerbate anxiety more.
Man I really hope that your plant comes along enough for your satisfaction the longer you can keep it going the better literally by the day you just have to do your best and you will hopefully be happy in the end.
Def look at the Autos, they have come a really long way. You wouldnt believe the amount of serious growers who are choosing auto flowers over photoperiods these days, indoors, out.
Mephisto genetics in particular are renowned for producing incredibly Potent Autos with THC levels well above 20%.
I think everyone who is growing outdoors in any part of the world it would be a good idea for them to do at least some Autos alongside the regulars and harvest early in good weather but not just that the auto flowers are flowering in the peak of summer and this can actually compensate against the more Potent photoperiods strains, when growing outdoors.
So you can get a guranteed, trouble free harvest of however many Autos you elect to do , months early. Fully curing now after 8 weeks.
@LesPlenty good (Morning?) Mate haha! 11.30 pm here. Your bulk looks really lovely man, I already knew you made GOOD stuff and you sure never brag, though you have every entitlement to.
In times gone past I would have been licking my lips at that lovely orangery fur but thankfully we have everything we need here and I'm really not in want like I used to be, salivating over others lovely looking herb in green-eyed envy.
So now the grass is equally Green on the other side of the fence lol and I'm just purely pleased for others to see such nice product being produced and consumed.
I definitely prefer it harvested on the early side when the aroma is lovely and fresh and the plants are still green. Last year the majority of our crop was over flowered which was heartbreaking because we had some truly stunning stuff and I ruined it for myself but the odd bits and jars which did come in early, are a league above. Get me really high and merry, the high CBN ambered buds-
Yes they are fantastic for sleeping and sinking into the couch, as soon as I get into bed it's like the best weed in the world but when I go to get out of bed the effect is to muscular debilitating and lethargic for me personally.
