Brix, Buds & Blades: Knifemaker420's Auto Perpetual Garden

[Knifemaker420]

Update day 62

Girls got another drink this evening. Same dose of feed as last time.

Elayne is still making solid gains. Not very stinky yet unless you start moving her around. Then she's got a citrusy, fruity, musty smell (no more warm garbage smell )

Aviendha has quit stretching which is good because I had to raise my lights again and now thinking I need to prop up Elayne a bit to get her back into the light more as she was happy with the closer light.
Check out the frost Aviendha is pushing out onto the fan leaves!

Update day 62 continued....

Min is still looking unhappy but maybe not quite as unhappy. The newer growth is coming in nice and green.
Still not doing much in the way of flowering even tho she started showing pistils at least a week before Aviendha.
Fingers crossed I get anything off Min.

Not sure if this macro lens is going to be enough to properly see what I'm looking at.
To me these trichomes look mostly cloudy with maybe a couple clear and even fewer maybe ambers? Could I already be that close to the chop for Elayne? Maybe not good enough images to tell? What do you guys think? I'm kinda hoping it has at least a week or two more to put on some more weight but seeing @Dutchman1990 chop one of his auto plants the other day and realizing that these ones are only 3 or 4 days younger got me thinking about my own upcoming harvest.
Sorry for the ramble I've been hitting the black tuna this evening lol

 

[Preston9mm]

I'm seeing a few ambers...

I've harvested quite a few around this time as well. Now, I give them the extra week.

It's just a preference thing at this point, speedy or couch-locky
LoL

 

[Backlipslide]

Very nice knife you made! Very nice!
It’s fitting that you have a bandaid on after making a knife lol

Like @Preston9mm said you can see some amber in those photos but it’s a light amber, I would say it’s close but another week or at least a couple more days!

...A knife maker with a bandaid...go figger'... ...beautiful work!......definitely in the harvest window...chop at will(IMHO)...cheerz......h00k......

 

[Tomuk17]

Yes a few Amber but I would leave until weekend atleast but each to their own

 

[Knifemaker420]

Thanks for the help guys. I'll have another look around the weekend and go from there. Getting excited!!!

 

[Tomuk17]

Harvesting times always exciting except when you think about the trimming process lol

I've done lots and lots of trimming. In my early 20's I helped my dad with his 50 plant outdoor grow. Im talking 10foot monster trees. I'd get paid an oz of dry bud for every wet pound I trimmed. Id end up with a couple pounds for myself by the end of harvest. Plus all the sugar shake and finger/scissor hash. I dont mind having one little gal to trim up

When you put it like that should be no problem at all lol

 

[Dutchman1990]

I would leave until the weekend for harvesting but as @Preston9mm mentioned now it’s all about preference! Do you want a more faster more uppy high or hit the couch kinda high!

Great buds, lovely colours on those trich shots.
But what a beautiful knife! Love the marbled look of that Damascus finish. And mammoth ivory?! Holy cow.
I thought I was doing ok here using swamp kauri. That is ... lovely work.

Thanks DD yeah it looks like some purple starting on some of the pics but hard to see with naked eye so unsure if its actually there or just a trick of the camera.

Mammoth materials are some of my favorite.
I have a fairly good collection of mammoth Ivory, tooth, and bone as well as ancient walrus ivory, narwhal ivory, and even a set of stegosaurus bone scales. I'm a bit of a handle material hoarder, I've got drawers and drawers full of awsome stuff

Crikey. I wish I lived closer to.
Hey if my country doesn’t reel its politically prohibitive neck in we are going to have to emigrate to a more enlightened land.
Just a thought. Where are you?
