I overflowered an Old Soul cutting last month and it started to fox tail. Then I had tricks that seemed to bulk up by the usual commercial 8-9 weeks and then seem to shrink again. This trichs finally turned amber after I left a jar of fresh dried buds in a warm trunk. Probably probably 90-100 degrees or more in there after the small 110 water engine has been running and gets parked.
After that heat abuse the trichs finally turned dark amber. It might be something that you can trial. I’m thinking that a dry back and then just a night with a heater keeping a space at 82 for one dark period would help amber them up.
I’m actually wondering if some temperature abuse would be of value in the curing process after drying all the time. Want to try leaving a jar in the house and abusing a jar in the scooter trunk again and have a side by side.
hard time really trying to suggest accurate conclusions but the bud went from florist light green hydro weed to dark amber equatorial looking after that scooter ride and leaving the GKMxDOC in a trunk above a water cooled 4 stroke.
Old Soul that I think I overflowered and then the GKMxDOC that went from light green to equatorial overnight.

I've noticed trichs darkening after chop too. I think its just oxidation. But you got me thinking now.

My first coco attempt is at day 62 now. The no-till soil plant on the left is getting colorful. The deficiency progression has slowed down a little since I added the guano. I'm not sure I'm much a fan of this strain. I was hoping the GG4 would be more prominent.

My first coco attempt went well but it looks like I gave it a little extra N. I just used 1 tsp of each of the GH Flora (Grow, Bloom, Micro) and 1/4 tsp Epsom per gal with no runoff. Only have 4 weeks before we go on vacation so it's time to get busy chopping. I'm chopping at least 1 plant each week for the next 4 weeks.
This thing is huge. I won't be suprised if it's About A Pound for real,
I can't get a pic of the whole thing because I can't back up enough in my closet. The soil one gets another week or 2.

These companion crops are getting a little too friendly. This shit's a fire hazard now. I didn't know it was that tall. I'm gonna have to watch that more carefully next time.
Anyways, I'm chopping the last GG4 x ARC tonight. So here's a few last pics at day 80.

So I tried a couple things while I went on vacation. Blumat Classics and wicking rope. Both worked surprisingly well. I could barely remove the carrots. Those roots were holding on strong. I also tried the bottle version of Blumats and those kicked ass too for a week long session. I'm not losing this GG4,

What are the bottle blumats? Sounds like it could come in handy…

These things. I used 2 liter bottles and it went smooth. I came back to a jungle from my cover crops. I wish I took a pic.

Thanks. My go to is guano. I tried Organics Alive Bloom and I didn't notice much difference, and that stuff is crazy expensive. I just saw this for $16 a quart on Amazon so I'm going to order it and try it next time I start getting P deficiency in flower. I'm thinking if I do guano and add a little of this it might take care of it even faster. But any higher P liquid would probably work alright.
