Day 66 flower

First grow, got a jewelers loupe yesterday but my phone camera gives me a better view of the trics, so what do you guys think? Looks about 50/50 cloudy/clear to me. Some calyxes starting to swell... Smaller fan leaves look sucked into the buds. Would day 71 be too early? The best harvest advice I've gotten so far is "don't chase a head high by harvesting early, instead grow a good sativa strain, and harvest when you see 90% cloudy 5% amber." And while I don't yet see 90% cloudy I did see about 1% amber on the sugar leaves when I took a few pics with the lights out yesterday. Done in 5 days?!

10 to 14 days

Still a lot of white pistils; not yet fully ripe. When all those white pistils turn orange and recede into the bud it's done. Agreed; bout 10-14 days oughta do it.

Harvested at day 75 and couldn't be happier. 6 days no water, 3 days no light. Wet trimmed every sugar/fan leaf with a visible stem and hung to dry. I should've dried them in a paper bag because my rh was 30-40% and they were crispy on the outside in 4 days. Luckily I went 6 days no water at the end before harvest so they were already "vine ripened" so to speak. I manicured and jarred with bovedas to get the rh in the jars at the proper range. 48 hours later jars were 60-65% so I'll now be burping them daily for at least 1-2 hrs shooting for 58%rh before putting the lid back on. The buds are now the perfect consistency, but the smoke isn't as refined as I imagine it will be in 2-3 weeks. Wicked great high

Now the moment we've all been waiting for....

41oz wet with stems, trimmed, but unmanicured

12oz manicured and jarred

8.2oz after 48 hours in jars, and me smoking at least 1/2oz over the last 2 weeks because I'm impatient and have enjoyed sampling lol. Hoping to end up with 6oz total fully cured.

Bottom left of the last pic made my day. Best keif I've ever had

Fuck that was supposed to go in my journal
