Hey latetothegame! Wish you the best of luck with your grow. I'm not sure what to do tbh, I'm going on vacation the next week and would like to harvest before that, just not sure how to proceed!

Thought about giving her tapwater only this week and going for complete darkness on monday-tuesday.

Just took some trichrome shots:

All cloudy, I think I'm going to harvest this weekend already!

The plant spent the last 3 days in complete darkness, with just tap water.

And came off today:

I know, a lot of leaves still left on the buds and I already picked a lot of (fan) leaves off. Will do some finer trimming/manicuring after drying :)

Thanks :D

15x20x33cm (6"x8"x13" wdh) are the measurements inside the bin, I won't run it again because the limitations are just too annoying but yeah, it was fun.

I'm already collecting information for the next project, somewhere in the 50W range, will take some time tho. Flower, clone and bonsai stealth closet; DIY LED array.

36g wet, not bad! :good:
for my personal liking you could as well leave those tiny leaves cause they're covered in glands and will be good smoke too!

nice project, love the colours in your pics!

looking forward to your next op :smoker:
 
nice grow tebo i had to read your thread once you dropped in my link and i saw it was 9w i like to see what can be done with low wattage grows and i can say i loved your grow man. well done sir!

Appreciate the feedback. Wouldn't have thought to get such a good result out of this!

Trim is already gone :( and I'll leave the left over leaves because they are very frosty. Dry weights hopefully coming up around sunday.

55% humidity and 22degrees Celsius for the last week: stems are crispy and the buds are dry.
