Impressions about plant
March 30, 2022
I have this clip on lens I got from aPotforPot and I've never used one. So the pics are super blurry, but you can see the trichomes well enough to know they are clear and milky. I'm going to try to set up my camera so I can only see trichome production. That way, I can monitor it throughout the day. Kinda hoping for another week. More trichomes, and hopefully about 15% amber trichomes. I managed to get some better trichome pics and sent them to my aPotforPot grow coach. They said I should harvest no earlier than Sunday morning to Monday. She's tiny, but her buds look awesome and frankly, I am shocked I managed to get this far. Home stretch.

Her buds are getting so fat. They all seemed to double in size last night. Keeping a close eye on her. I want to harvest at the perfect time. Her water intake is still pretty steady. About 25ml every 3 hours. As for that clip on macro lens, I'm getting a much much nicer one soon. But not before she's ready for harvest I don't think.

She's just doing her thing today. Shes still taking in about 25ml to 50ml every few hours. I finally got my drying rack. Granted, she's so small it's almost silly, but do it right the first time.

I'm trying really hard to get some good focus with this macro lens. It's kind of hit or miss. I'm now using a tripod and it's a tiny bit better. I just have to get the positioning right. She has so many trichomes! Her pistils are almost all orange. Her buds are super dense sticky and have just started getting super stinky delicious. Citrus earthy and floral tones. Very sweet. There's still a slight "plant" smell, so hopefully she has a bit more trichome production left in her. I'm going to take a few hours tonight and get the best trichome pics I can get. I'm debating on popping off the rest of her fan leaves over then next couple of days so when I harvest, I'm cutting down branches and buds. I'll obviously leave the sugar leaves, but the remaining lower fan leaves gotta go.

Her trichome production is increasing daily. I'm starting to see more cloudy trichomes. I have to get some really good macro pics.

Last day of her life cycle and final day of week 11. She is sticky, loaded with trichomes and ready for harvest! Tomorrow morning, I will chop her little self down and run a bud wash to get rid of all the dust and hairs from my body and my cats. She'll be getting one last watering tonight before her lights off period of 50ml. Tomorrow after coffee and a bit of a smoke, harvest starts!
FINAL DAY OF AGENT WIDOW'S LIFE CYCLE.
I wanted to thank everyone who shared my journey and offered their insight and experience. A lot of this community seems to be great and I will keep journaling my grows as I learn and grow (pun!). I'll try new things and share. Get new setups, new grow techniques, build pics. Everything. Thanks again!
