Life on the prairie has been tough.... Sorry about not getting this finalized on here.
During the first weeks of September, the plants started to re-growing. Kept checking the tricomes every few days, but they didn't seem to change much.
Right around my last post, we started to see some amber, and more cloudy. Then on the 1st of September I found a male pollen sack. I almost cried. Then a few days later, during which time we had decided to harvest after the weekend, I found the largest bud site had mold deep inside of it. I now cried.
We harvested that night. The weekend was going to be a problem with us traveling and I would worry the whole time. We opened each bud site that might hold mold and checked it. No other bud had mold.
Out of the four plants, after drying, and curing for three weeks, the final output was 187 grams. It filled two and half of these half gallon mason jars I had. From the trim we made ice hash. Being the first time trying that, I'm not sure if we did it right. We got around 5 grams of hash, using a silk printing screen of 220, took about four hours. I'll try to come back and post how we did that later (or in the DIY area).
Almost all of the buds were small, yet there were many. Here is a picture of them:
This was a very stresful grow. The worse I've ever had. So I'm very happy with the out come after thrips, hermie males popping out, and then the mold. The middle of summer was wetter than usual this year. there was little I can do to get rid of humidity. But I have some ideals on that and will start testing them out on the closet.
Thanks to everyone for all their input and help. The community has been a great help and resource.
