Lucky with the weather this past month while I was away. September here was consistently warm and sunny, temps in the mid-20s C, mid-70s F. Just these past days however it has gotten cold suddenly, last night the temp dropped to 8 C, or about 48 F. Not good. So today I hung up more tarps to keep the cold out and installed a heater in the grow zone for the nights, just to keep it around 15 C minimum.
Today is special. It's Mexican Sativa Day, sort of Cinco de Mayo only in October. I brought Mex-Sat inside (it's raining a bit outside this week) to let her dry out for the big day tomorrow, when she'll be harvested and her bud hung up to dry. When I returned from a month away, I didn't notice how ripe she was. She's not sick, she's dead ripe. So we move on to the chop.
Her hashy-sweet aroma has filled the living room with that wonderful smell. Her trichomes are way beyond clear, I am wondering how couch-lock this "sativa"'s effect will be. I don't see a single white pistil. So here are her multi-colored leaves and heavy sotten buds hanging out to dry on her last day.
I defoliated the Afghani to let more sunlight into her interior branches.
Chrystal needs a few weeks more, maybe until third week of October. In the meantime, her trichs continue to form and mature. Chystal is technically an "indoor" Nirvana strain, but when I first bought the reg seeds about 10 years ago the seed guy said she could also be grown outdoors and that had proven to be true. Still, I wouldn't want to have her flowering into November when it can get below freezing.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
