It's all gorgeous bud with a bit of leaves that you can brush off by hand because they are brittle and dried to the stem.
You guys can bet this is my best harvest yet, as for quality. And after drying it might get to be the best regarding yeld as well. We gonna see. Buds for sure are not too big, biggest ones being almost fist size, but many of them and quite dense. They feel so hard and "full", that you would think they are already stiffened from drying. It's totally crazy!!

Nice Nuggets explo, looks pretty frosty! But cutting all this little brown leaves before smoking will be pain in the ass i think. Get Bobr this lazy ass ready to work :ROFLMAO:
:bandit:
Those'll flake right off, what he wanted to do is flake em off before hanging they're not absorbing any moisture.

@exploziv id recommend getting rid of as many brown leaves as possible before the chop

💯🤙 Didn't see this before my last post to the other guy

Hydrofarm actually makes a brush just for this, of course it's identical to any bbq brush you've ever seen but this one's just for buds so you can keep em separate

I wish you guys could've seen some of my best pix dude, I wouldn't be a write-off.

I also noticed the IR and UV seems to have a good effect on buds, so I am searching for a new light that is full spectrum and includes ir and uv, so they are matched to the light power and dim with it.
Uv is really nice to use in your grow, i dont know why so many knock it. Especially near uv, around the limit between par and uv: it both grows photosynthesis (and really well! It covers missing chlorophyll) and adds a lot to taste and smell. IR, which is really Far red, i havent seen much differences in growing with or with out. Was expecting more to be honest, but didnt see much. Most people i know dont like it in the base spectrum cause some strains will stretch like crazy with this. But theres other solutions of course. I dont know if im right but i got the sense that you are in a slightly shorter vertical space? For all space limitations DIY is really good, you can build your light to fit your space perfectly instead of adapting light and space to eachother. You design sections where you have more or less intensity with separate dimming or even sidelighting on the same power supply as your top light, there really is no limits.
I got tired of not finding the DIY parts i wanted, so im building these:

My own custom spectrum including uv in base spectrum and more with the possibility of user customization: you can strap your own diodes on top of the strip; deep uv, IR or whatever you need, just as long as you can solder the diodes. Hopefully testing locally in January.


Edited out spammy seal photos, sorry Exploziv 🙏


And finally, harvest looks amazing, colors and frost, full show, congrats!

Heya @MedScientist ,
I just go on with trimming, and when the scissors feel grippy, i clean them off and puff it.
There's not much to trim on the tops, tho. Most leaves fall off because already dry. Honestly I am amazed by the looks and smells. And the harvest burns great already, the Terra Aquatica Final Part ripening nutrient clearly did it's job.
