Well ladies and gentlemen, today was a historical day...
This grow has seen the last hours of "sunlight"... the lights have been shut off.
I took a clipping today and I would say the trichomes are about 35-40% amber. Could I wait a little longer? Yeah, probably, but the main reason I've hit the lights is b/c Mary Jane is finally showing the signs of not being fed. She went 3 1/2 weeks doing really well with plain water.
The lights ran for about 4 hours tonight before I shut it off. The reason? I read that some people believe having 24-36 hours of darkness before harvest increases potency b/c the plants have more THC. Supposedly, marijuana plants are most potent at dawn and degrades through the day (same concept as why you don't want weed sitting out in the light, sunlight decomposes the THC). So I am going to give her about 20 hours of darkness and begin chopping her down tomorrow evening.
I'm alright with her cutting down at this point. I actually would like to try the two Master Kushes at different "stages." From what I understand, the less amber trichomes and more opaque, the more of a cerebral high, and the more amber, the more couch-lock, body high.
So tomorrow, I go through the painful task of manicuring again... Mary Jane is getting cut down. This time, I will be manicuring before hanging and to get a feel for that method I'm hoping it will be a lot faster of a process.
Wait til you all see pictures tomorrow... her colas are two big masssssiiive MAAASSSSIVE.... for my grow, least.
So I ran out of my street stuff last night and tonight, I was forced to tap into my new grow... so I decided to go with Jean Grey (Master Kush)... and WOW I cannot believe how potent she is. Love it man, totally gnarly. The high lasted me 3 hours easily, which is the longest that I've had in a while. It was a really great high, mostly in the head, which totally defies that trichomes thing I mentioned earlier (she was mostly amber).
I will say, the taste can definitely improve a lot. She hits really hard and would do very well in an icebong (I'll find out as soon as I get the bong in the mail, should be later this week or next). But she is starting to smell really nice. She is actually not quite try enough, didn't break apart easily in the grinder. I'm going to let her vent out a little tomorow evening.
