Impressions about plant
January 14, 2023 Day 81
This week will focus on finishing up. She still has a lot of white pistils, but she's looking nice and plump. So I can only imagine she will be big and chunky over this week. I'm not sure when she will be ready. It seems like she might go out to 90 days. But it's only day 81 and everything should happen really fast from here on out. Also just water for the rest of the week. No more nutrients. I don't think I'm going to water her a lot either. Maybe a gallon for the week? That's all I think she will want anyway.

BBA-3a has just days left. Her pistils are starting to shrivel up and less are protruding out. The trichomes aren't ready yet though. This may be a longer flower than BBA-3 and BBA-4. They had mostly orange pistils by now. But this plant is much more healthy.

BBA-3a looks like she put more weight on. Still a lot of white pistils. And a lot of clear trichomes, so a bit more time. She is at the front of the tent now so I can keep a closer eye on her. The extra time is good as long as it shows in the quality and yield. I would however like to see a finished product in 75 days or less to be honest.

BBA-3a is loving life. She's making trichomes, shedding leaves, shrivelling her pistils. Still lots and lots of white pistils though. Not much else to talk about with her for now.

BBA-3a is shedding more leaves, has amber trichomes and is rapidly turning her pistils orange. I'll be keeping a very close eye on her trichomes. There are still a lot of white pistils though. So maybe a couple more days.

BBA-3a is just a couple days away from harvest. All of her pistils are starting to shrivel and change color now. The majority of the trichomes are cloudy with a few still clear and some amber here and there. Her buds are dense, sticky and smelly.

This little lady should be done by now. I'm going to give her a couple more days. She's absolutely getting harvested by day 90. She still has a couple too many white pistils. And a few too many clear trichomes. However, she is starting to shed nicely.

Update: I decided to do a final defoliation. I ended up snipping off any leaves with protruding stems I could get access to. There are still a bunch of leaves left that I didn't snip though. I've read in a couple of places that a late defoliation is like a wet trim and can even increase trichome production. I figure it's day 87, so why not.
