STUPIDLY QUICK UPDATE
I flushed today!
EXTENDED VERSION
I am basically out of time on the house issues, so need to get the Sour OG harvested. It's amazing what that extra week has done in terms of ripening her up!
So, did the diminishing light schedule and the ice in the reservoirs help her ripen more quickly?
I have NO clue!
I do know they were about the only things I could think of doing to possibly help, so at the very least, it made me feel like I was somewhat in control and being pro-active. In truth, the plant has been in control the whole time!
I did do a Clearex flush for about 3-4 hours and then replaced with plain tap water.
I also took two samples. One of them, I actually took on purpose! The other was a small bud that got knocked off somehow when I was untying her or taking her out of the tent. I say "small", but it was actually bigger/denser than my sample bud, so I'll get a good sample in sometime tomorrow!
The trich's are now mostly cloudy and, in truth, if it was an absolute emergency, I could harvest her today and have some good med's.
That being said, I think another 5-7 days, which I just don't have, would get to her to her peak (for my couch-locking taste!) and add some extra weight.
I've never grown a Diesel strain before, although my Pineapple Express smelled somewhat"diesely", and this is some pretty stinky bud!
It was a little "surreal" starting to now remove pieces of the flower tent. Really just some tubing, etc. but the whole idea of starting to disassemble.
I don't know how I'm going to sleep without the hum of the inline fan!
I'll let her run on plain tap water for another 48-72 hours and then harvest sometime on Wed. The mold guys (BTW...I don't even like saying "mold" and "harvest" in the same post!!! :icon_roll) are supposed to come on Monday for a walk-through, so I need to have everything broken down, stored, and all nugs in jars by then.
In the veg tote, things look good. The White Widow is still going slow and the Cherry Bomb is trying to crawl out of the tote!
The stem on the CB is a "little long & lanky for my liking" (say that 10 times quick!) and I'm now wishing I had buried her stem deeper when I planted her cube. The long stem certainly isn't conducive to Bonsai, so I'm probably going to flower her out and Bonsai one of her clones.
So, I'll soon be closing this chapter in my grow history and considering what my grow will look like when I get my house back. I'm certainly going to get a taller flower tent and hoping to be able to find the room to get a 4'x4' and double the space.
Happy Harvests!
